    Have you seen David Blain or Christ Angel? They both claim that when you "have full control of body mind and spirit, complete control of your muscles is possible". But thats really makes no sense at all, and they use camera tricks/pully systems :)

    I doubt that anyone can really levitate, but that doesn't mean that one can't feel as if theitr soul is rising.

    There was a ballet dancer back in the 40s who used to jump very high and would float down very, very slowly. I've seen the old tapes of him on TV but can't find him on the 'net. Some probably said that he used wires. I don't know, all I can believe is what I saw.

    I've never seen anyone levitate, but I hope to do so within this lifetime. And the first step is not to completely dismiss it. It may not be possible, but if it is and I start flying around...shiiiiiiit...

    No supernatural levitation unless God approves it.

    how can there be anything supernatural? if it is possible to levitate, it is natural. nothing is "beyond nature".

    But its not possible to levitate, so real levitation would be supernatural.

    Natural: that which is constrained by natural law. (Us)
    A computer's software is constrained by internal law- it only follows these laws. That which operates within these laws is constrained by these laws.

    Supernatural: that which is not constrained by natural law. (God)

    A computer programmer is not constrained by these laws, so can add new variables to the programs, new laws, etc.

    for example: Within a program, a character cannot walk on water. The programmer can change the code so that a specific character can walk on water, while all other characters follow the specific code within the main program (not able to walk on water), until the programmer changes the rules that govern them.

    The programmer can make exceptions to any rules within the system (is not constrained by the system). Those within the system cannot alter the system (they are constrained by the rules of the system).

    Yo David Blain is just an act. I can levitate like him. It takes practice but in the end it's just a trick using angles and stuff. That's why if you first watched the show they didn't record his feet coming off the ground because they were afraid the camera would catch a wrong angle. If you want to levitate like him look up the King Rising levitation. I think it's called that. It really spoils the fun of his trick though. But if you learn it you can sure as hell freak all your friends out like me.

    ahh i see.

    of course, we're looking at it from two different points of view. i don't believe in God in the sense of one who makes exceptions to "the rules". i just believe that so-called "supernatural experiences" are just seen that way because of a faulty perspective of reality on our part. but yes, i understand what you were saying now.
