What do you see in the pirated books smuggled into Vietnam by the original energy group?

From "making up" a story about being saved from a serious illness

Despite warnings from authorities, thousands of people have still attended the classes.original energyby Le Van Phuc (Vietnamese American), in which, in Nghe An, about 140 people participated, with blind faith that it can cure incurable diseases, bringing back youth.

The fact that many people go online to worship Le Van Phuc and deify the original energy from the universe will not only cause them to waste time, money, and affect their health, but also cause them to ignore medical treatment methods and miss the golden opportunity to treat the disease when it is still in its early stages.

In addition to direct propaganda at online sessions, Le Van Phuc's group also wrote deviant ideas into books, published abroad, and then secretly spread them to Vietnam through illegal "smuggling" through direct students, or even selling them online. This will cause participants to have deviant ideas, reject history, worship things that are not real, and are unscientific, causing panic among the people.

During our research on the group participating in the original energy in Nghe An, we were exposed to three books: “Stem Cells - Your Great Physician”, “Heart of the Soul” and “Common Denominator” which were said to be written by Le Van Phuc. These books were all published abroad in 2022 and were purchased by the original energy participants in Nghe An for VND 750,000, VND 1.1 million and VND 950,000 respectively, after attending classes 3 and 4 in Thailand and Malaysia and then brought back.

It is worth mentioning that the content presented in the books is a rather naive patchwork of different religions such as Buddhism and Christianity. There are even some question and answer content, in the style of participants asking questions, then "Uncle Phuc" answering, with a dark color to deceive gullible people into listening.

The very first book that the original energy group released was called "Stem Cells - Your Great Physician", although on the surface, it seems like a medical book. However, the content of the book contains a lot of spiritual information, explaining about the soul, about supernatural energy from the universe, about the birth of the so-called original energy that the founders put forth.

In the book "Common Denominator", in part 1, titled "The Messenger", Le Van Phuc wrote, "A beautiful soul talked to me. He said that he came from a place far away from the earth, from the universe. That he came from the creator's civilization, a civilization with highly developed intelligence. He said that this was the first time he had come to our planet. He asked the creator's permission to come to the earth, to help solve the difficulties of humanity, so that we can continue to evolve."

Obviously, these are extremely unscientific views, going against the theory of evolution that humanity has proven for hundreds of years.

Not to mention, to lead people to participate in learning and healing with original energy, Le Van Phuc "made up" the story of himself having a "life-threatening" illness, then being given energy by a mysterious person to heal and to teach him the method of healing with original energy.

"When I was almost done with my studies, I was introduced to a special program about healing energy from the Creator's civilization. It is NLG - Original Energy. This is the supernatural energy on this planet. This is the first energy that the Almighty sent to earth to create life... It is the energy of the supreme soul from outer space, bringing life to this planet".

...to unscientific content

Not only presenting spiritual stories, Le Van Phuc also mentioned many contents related to beliefs, such as the view that there is an invisible world that goes hand in hand with each person's life, the invisible world has karma and karma; illnesses and other problems in each person's current life are due to karma/misfortune from previous lives...

Le Van Phuc even put forward the view that "life on earth consists of the first souls from the Creator's extraterrestrial civilization". This is an extremely absurd view, not to mention the way the books are presented, the sentences in the books are also confusing, misspelled, many sentences are meaningless, such as "The Creator took a cosmic molecule from his own soul, containing energy for the evolution of life and asked volunteers from his extraterrestrial civilization, the angels, to bring this molecule to earth. Thousands of them volunteered. This energy created life with an extremely small beginning and gradually grew in size and intelligence over time" - quoted verbatim in the book "Common Denominator".

According to Lieutenant Colonel Phan Thanh Binh - Deputy Chief of Hung Nguyen District Police, the content of the books published by the original energy group, which were confiscated by the authorities, are all patchwork. These contents can all be searched online, and none of the information contains reliable scientific content, and is even delusional. However, for many purposes, Le Van Phuc continues to propagate to attract many people to participate in classes from low to high.

To entice learners to buy the above books, the original energy operators also put forward the view that they must both practice and read the books to achieve the highest efficiency. Obviously, if they can attract hundreds of thousands of participants, just from the money earned from selling the books (not to mention the call for donations to build a global original energy headquarters in the US), the original energy operators will earn a huge amount of money.

According to regulations, the import of books and cultural products from abroad to Vietnam must comply with the 2012 Publishing Law and Decree No. 195 of 2013. However, according to the police, most of the publications issued by the original energy group are printed abroad, without information about the publisher or circulation licenses. Therefore, any cases discovered using or circulating these publications will be confiscated and destroyed.

Mr. Pham Quoc Vinh - Deputy Head of the Religious Affairs Department, Nghe An Department of Home Affairs affirmed: Global Original Energy or Bronze Drum Original Energy is not a religion or belief and has never been recognized by any management agency or scientific research institute in Vietnam in general and Nghe An in particular for its existence.

"However, the original energy operators still launch many propaganda tricks through social networks and publish books, using some content related to spirituality and religious beliefs with superstitious elements to increase the effectiveness of persuasion and attract participants... This has greatly affected social psychology, and the security and order situation in general..." - Mr. Vinh emphasized./.
