What
are God Like
Powers & Abilities?
These are the abilities of the human spirit which are supposed to be
impossible, but which really exist.
The abilities and powers reviewed in this book include Telepathy,
Psychokinesis, Levitation, Invisibility, Invulnerability,
Teleportation, Creating your future, Prophecy, Omniscience, and much
more.
Why a book on this subject? I’ve read about these abilities
over
the years in many different books and articles (as well as my own
experiences) and thought that others might want to learn about them in
one organized encyclopedia of the subject.
Why
is this book worthwhile?
This book will help the reader understand what is the basis for these
powers before going into a full review of each one. Like most of my
books, I take the reader through some background material before I get
into the meat of the subject. In this case we start by reviewing the
original source of God Like abilities “The Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali”, and how these abilities and powers work.
Then I provide an introduction to meditation and stillness practices,
and how they help the seeker to get in touch with their own spirit
After that we proceed into a discussion of the vital forces
or
“prana”, the energy body and what that energy is
used for.
What
will I
learn about these Powers and Abilities?
In each of the chapters on individual powers and abilities I
start by explaining what the ability is and how it has been used in the
past.
Then some historical and/or modern documented experiences of the
ability or power is given.
Finally, I provide exercises and practices to learn these abilities for
yourself.
I’m not going to claim that anyone can learn these abilities
and
powers right away, but a clear path is provided on how to get there.
Reference materials to other books and sources which can help you learn
more are also provided.
This includes links in the electronic versions of the book and a
detailed bibliography or sources.
Two Case History Examples of Superhuman Abilities from the
book
LEVITATION:
Many saints and Yogic adepts have been said to be able to levitate
throughout history.
Here is one record of Levitation:
Saint Joseph of Cupertino (1) (Italian: San Giuseppe da Copertino),
(June 17, 1603 – September 18, 1663) is an Italian saint. He
was
said to have been remarkably unclever, but prone to miraculous
levitation and ecstatic visions that left him gaping. In
turn, he
is recognized as the patron saint of air travelers, aviators,
astronauts, people with a mental handicap, test takers, and weak
students. He was canonized in the year 1767.
INVISIBILITY:
A 37-year-old man goes into a bathroom and comes out, apparently,
totally invisible.
He attempts to engage in conversation with several people, including
his own girlfriend, but is ignored completely.
He asks her for a cigarette, but receives no response. At first he
thinks they are playing a joke on him and so returns to the bathroom in
anger. When he comes out again, it's as if nothing had happened.
Everything is back to normal and he could be seen again. |
