How far can we go

Humans are capable of the most miraculous feats of survival, strength, endurance and even shape shifting as I mentioned in the Alley Grazer post today. In addition to the evidence mentioned there about extreme survival, other powers deemed impossible by current wisdom, are being taught in online and regular classrooms and tutorials around the country. Healing techniques (the links are coming), and power techniques-distant viewing, telekinesis, levitation, shape shifting- are all available at a price. In the past centuries, initiates to the sacred sciences prepared themselves for years before they were deemed worthy to plunge into the secrets of such powers.

I first heard about some of these super powers (including the ability of the human body to bi-locate and to contort into silly putty shapes during types of religious rapture),when Carolyn Myss talked about the lives of saints in her tape, Why People Don't Heal and How They Can. There are eye witness accounts back in the 16th through 18th centuries of the most miraculous occurrences. Even as recently as War II, a friar who was famous for his stigmata as well as his ability to bi-locate, saved the village of San Giovanni Rotondo by appearing to the American pilots as they were about to release their bombs. The pilots did a 180 and all reported back to base with the exact story of this guy in the sky. Padre Pio was doing chores at the monastery when it happened.

There is a lot of talk now about activating the inactive strands of DNA (of 12, we only use a couple). When we do that, they say, we will be capable of amazing feats. There are people making scads of money teaching people to activate their DNA or live on pure air. These folks are talking about reverse aging and immortality. Euwwww. Living forever has no appeal for me, but it is an intriguing idea. I read somewhere that there is no scientific evidence that the human body can't live healthily for 140 years. I think Wallace, the Dead Doctors Don't Lie guy, said that. I am more interested in having robust health for the 20-30 years I may have and feeling like this:

Interestingly enough, quantum physics supports the 'anything can happen' stories about human powers. The reason is, that we are not what we think we are. Big newsflash. We are mostly, no not mostly... we are entirely composed of are energetic wave patterns. If you've never read Richard Bach's Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, it will help you question the solidity of all of 'physical' matter. A wonderful yarn about a barnstorming pilot who can walk through walls.

So wiseguy (I can hear you say), if we are made of pure energy, why do we look and feel so solid? Apparently, the electrons are orbiting so fast, they create the illusion of solidity the same way a ceiling fan does. I still have a problem with that because I can't pass my hand through my face. More will be revealed on that.

Why am I so convinced the human body is capable of miraculous things? One time, in my early twenties, I emerged from a yoga class with my friend. When I went home, something felt very weird. It had never felt this vibrant in here. I felt this purr of well being from my toes to the top of my head and everywhere in between. It felt as though I could fly.

So what is the connection between alleged human super powers and this extreme well being I experienced and that imprinted so deeply, I'm still hooked on it?

I'm not sure, but I have a theory. So my plan for the this blog is to explore some ideas about all that and find out what others have experienced. I know exactly how I want to feel. Like you, I have some ideas about how to do it, so my first job is to find a starting point for doing it. Not thinking about it, or blogging about it, but doing it. What is the starting point?

I want to get that sparkle back. How about you?
In the meantime, here's to your health!
