Is levitation possible?

[know knot]

A couple weeks back i had a strange experience. I was at work, it was around 2 in the afternoon. I was just noticing how beautiful the day was when i felt a weird floating sensation and an almost loss of balance. I felt as if i was in the ocean and a large swell had gently lifted me off the ground and then a moment later, returned me back. This only lasted for a split second and i questioned my sanity as soon as it was over. I know nothing happened and that i may have only touched on what it would be like to actually levitate.

Mystics have always claimed it is possible. The actual sensation is experienced in flying dreams, especially when they first begin to happen.
Folk lore is full of that lightness feeling, especially when one is in love.

"I felt like I was walking on air." is a classic example.

I certainly think levitation is a latent aspect of our conscious potential - as is translocation; telekinesis; appearing in two places at once; etc. This last could be directly related to the famous quantum "double slit" experiment

"Teleport" redirects here. For other uses, see Teleport (disambiguation).
Teleportation is the movement of objects or elementary particles from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space.

With present techniques, "exact" quantum teleportation is possible only with photons and atoms.[1] "Inexact" teleportation (where quantum states are not preserved), is possible by encoding information about an object, transmitting the information to another place, such as by radio or an electric signal, and creating a copy of the original object in the new location. Teleportation has also been proposed to explain various anomalous phenomena, and the concept has been widely used in science fiction.

Similar is apport, an earlier word used to describe what today might be called teleportation; and bilocation, when something or someone described as being a magician is said to be able to occupy two places simultaneously. The word "teletransportation" (which simply expands Charles Fort's abbreviated term) was first employed by Derek Parfit as part of a thought exercise on identity.

All of this is very fascinating to me. If teleportaion is possible within atoms and photons; we as humans are comprised of atoms and therefore can, theoretically, be transported/translocated via our minds and/or some kind of device. Which is pretty much confirming what MM had said.

What a mind&#%@

So we encode your DNA - together with a recording of the harmonic your radiant energy produces - we fax it to the nearest star system Three years later a guy walking down a street over there suddenly gets a holograph of you and nobody believes a word he said. At the same time you have a vision of a little green guy with tubes sticking out of his, freaking out on strange street. . ;D

Pretty funny you guys.

I saw this when I was doing some research thought you might like it.

"Saint Teresa of Avila was another well known saint who reported levitating. She told of experiencing it during states of rapture. One eyewitness, Sister Anne of the Incarnation, said Saint Teresa levitated a foot and a half off the ground for about a half hour.

Saint Teresa wrote of one of her experiences: "It seemed to me, when I tried to make some resistance, as if a great force beneath my feet lifted me up. I know of nothing with which to compare it; but it was much more violent than other spiritual visitations, and I was therefore as one ground to pieces." (Evelyn Underhill "Mysticism," 1955)

Also Saint Teresa observed these levitations frightened her but there was nothing she could do to control them. She did not become unconscious, but saw herself being lifted up.

maybe youre on your way to sainthood

the more you know the knots the better you can call the shots, hmmmmm?
