Re Levitation, Invisibility

Dear Friends:

For historical instances go to ISIS UNVEILED as HPB has given many
there. One has to use the INDEX (a separate book, not the small one
printed at the end of ISIS UNVEILED )

Additionally in the UNITED LODGE OF THEOSOPHISTS edition. Of LETTERS
THAT HAVE HELPED ME - Judge (p. 142) an example of "invisibility" is
give.

Best wishes,

Dallas.

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.
