Mindy,

I can certainly believe that a friend of your could levitate and could produce various phenomena. It's not that hard to do. (And to answer the obvious question: No I can't do it - unless levitating while in an airplane counts (grin).

So what the heck am I talking about? Well it takes x number of years to get a Masters degree. If you spend the same number of years meditating it is simple to acquire psychic abilities. (I am paraphrasing Sri Chinmoy). He then goes on to state that instead of spending it doing meditations to get siddhis why not use the same amount of time and effort in trying to realize God? (Plug in your own preference: illumination, enlightenment, self realization, etc.)

Of course your friend may not have spent x number of years in this lifetime - maybe he did in another???.. 

In any case I find it interesting to find out HOW these things work even if I have little interest in developing them. 

For those who are interested I may as well "spill the beans" (laughing). One method of invisibility is concentrating akasa until it forms a cloud. When it's big enough you cover yourself with it. The same method is used to form a protective shield - but even more dense I suppose. In regards to levitation the idea is to change the "polarity" of the bodies energy field so that it is the same as the earth. The more succesful you are the more you float (just like 2 of the same poles of a magnet push at each other).

(shrug) In the end I can't be bothered to learn the above since my morals and ethics need a hell of a lot of work. Give me a lifetime or two and once I'm a better person I'll have a go at it perhaps (grin). Of course if such things as above happen naturally then knowing about them will be quite useful.

I also think that by understanding HOW the Masters, adepts and such produce phenomena, it lends even more validity to the claims of what they can do. Faith based on reason (which Buddha suggested we develop) is much stringer than just blind faith alone.

Has the book become invisible? :)
A friend had claimed to levitate but I dismissed his claim as he had
many claims. Come to find out, his son had video taped several
levitations. The guy would sit down to meditate while no one was home.
The son came home from school on several occasions to find his father
floating gently and caught a few sessions on tape.
This same person claimed to know the secret to invisibility and could
also project thought forms into holograms for all to see.

Interesting life...

Subject: Theos-World re invisibility/levitation, Ed and ...

Ed, thanks for that about invisibility and 
levitation. I have a book on invisibility 
... somwwhere in here, I think. Not that I 
don't have any talent for invisibility. 
Maybe one of these I'll learn how to express 
myself more visibly, especially on these 
lists. Whatever. So, if one were to combine 
invisibility and levitation ... ^:/ ... hmm ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
