I was wondering if any of you have ever read Dr. Haha Lung’s (pseudonym) books. I have searched his name on this forum, but it came up empty.
Here’s the link to see the list of his books:

I have read his following books before I came upon Laura’s Wave series within a month:
“Mind Control: The Ancient Art of Psychological Warfare."
“Ninja Shadowhand: The Art of Invisibility."
“The Nine Halls of Death: Ninja Secrets of Mind Mastery"
“Mind Manipulation: Ancient and Modern Ninja Technique."
These books that I have read deal with human mind manipulations and basically how easy it is to manipulate another person's mind. Lung provided methods of mind control, which he traced back to Ninja (medieval Japan) strategies and drawing examples primary from the texts of Sun Tzu (“To subdue an enemy without fighting is the greatest of skills") and Buddha (“Your greatest weapon is your enemy’s mind").
Here are some examples from the two books:
Also, it is funny to see the back of some of his books where they stated “For Academic Study Only."
So, I am curious as to what everyone here if you read these books. If so, your thoughts?

Mind Control said:(p. xii-xiii)
Do you know why psychology, hard-sell advertising, con games, cult-recruiters’ spiels, police interrogation techniques, lovers' lies, and hypnosis all work?
Because every one of us – bar none – is 100 percent convinced these mind-manipulation “tricks" won’t work on us!
And we're all 100 percent wrong. They will – and do – work on us every day.
So many shady characters, from used-car salesmen to enemies we don’t even know we have, daily use such distractions, devices, and devious ploys to get their foot in your door, their hand in your pocket, and their you-know-what in your panties!
But, relax, all these techniques – and score more – also work on your enemy. And like you, he’s 100 percent certain they don’t work on him.
(p. 80-81)
There’s a Zen koan that goes:
First monk: “Look, that flag is moving."
Second monk: “No, the wind is moving."
Third monk: “It is your minds that are moving."
In other words, our minds are constantly moving, an undisciplined monkey leaping from place to place, constantly chattering. When this monkey is our own mind, we are in constant peril, easily distracted and led astray. When this monkey-mind belongs to our enemy, half our objective has already been accomplished!
Like a flag incessantly flapping in the wind, turning first one way then the other, straining after every distracting breeze, so too the undisciplined mind dances around, captive to the arbitrary wind of the moment.
Recall from the book Black Science that FLAGS (as in warning flags) is a mnemonic device for remembering the “Five Weaknesses" we look for in our enemies: Fear, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sympathy.
Personally, Lung’s books are easy to read and understand for a simple layperson. He used simple language, mere terms, examples, and soft humors. His books are primary focused on human manipulating human, but it is interesting how these “techniques" are being used against us. I obviously have been a victim of some of these "techniques" and, for me, knowing of these techniques would help one to be aware and not let one be lulled into a trap.Mind Manipulation said:(p. 2 – 3)
Studying traditional and current mind-manipulation strategies and techniques should not stem simply from our healthy paranoia about out-of-control government agencies constantly on the prowl for new ways to control people. Studying these techniques will help us guard ourselves and our loved ones against an endless array of criminal con men, crazed cult leaders, and opportunistic politicians.
Also, it is funny to see the back of some of his books where they stated “For Academic Study Only."
