Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Would you agree that the minds holds powers beyond what "hardbacked science" is able to explain?
Does it? Like what? Who says? Why are they so consistantly incapable of demonstating it?

here are some quotes from experimental findings from the book Best Evidence by Michael Schmicker,
"Researchers at the famed Menninger Foundation in Kansas tested one Indian yogi who could, at will, produce with his mind an 11 degree Fahrenheit difference between the left and right sides of the same palm, with one side turning pink from heat and the other turning gray from cold."
"a man with no yogic training who demonstrated the ability to voluntarily stop his heart -- to produce cardiac arrest -- on demand. EKG tests showed his heartbeat did indeed disappear completely. (As he began to faint from lack of blood, the subject would take a deep breath and revive himself)."
"In 1981, Benson and a group of researchers from the Harvard Medical School instrumented three Tibetan monks in India practicing a form of meditation called Tummo. The monks could take a blanket soaked in cold water, wrap it around themselves, and sit in the snow on a mountain top in a meditative trance. In the Harvard tests, the monks meditated for 55 minutes in an unheated, cold room, using their minds to raise their internal body temperature... All three monks produced dramatic body temperature changes. One 50-year old monk was able to raise the temperature of his toes by 15 degrees Fahrenheit; another 59-year old monk raised his finger and toe temperatures 11 and 12 degrees Fahrenheit respectively, and raised the overall temperature of the room he was meditating in by 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit."
"Using hypnosis, researchers are able to produce real, physical blisters, bruises and skin inflammations on test subjects simply with words"
"Documented clinical studies have shown the placebo effect has successfully relieved or cured hay fever, coughing, insomnia and sleep disorders, colds, headaches, diabetes, peptic ulcers, seasickness, and various kinds of pain including angina pectoris; reduced obesity and urinary incontinence; matched the effectiveness of anti-arthritic pills in treating the symptoms of arthritis and the effectiveness of chemical anti-depressants in treating depression; and treated anxiety. Placebos can speed up or slow down a heartbeat rate; alter moods and perceptions, produce observable calm or its opposite, nervousness; and even produce feelings of euphoria."
"Researchers say a doctor's diagnosis usually sets a patient's mind visualizing the outcome predicted by the doctor"

Can't be bothered to link it all for you. Unfortunately there is no (peered and scientifically examined) video of the monk, hitting a balloon with a needle - through a glass slate...

Yea, firewalking...I saw a piece on Discovery Channel about a physics professor in Pennsylvania who teaches firewalking as part of his class ( it's a module on specific heat capacity ) and right off the top he explains the concepts to his students while debunking the "mysteries" behind the act. So far, he states, none of his students have been burned, see it's all in how you put your foot down,,ie. don't shuffle

Point is,, I believed in the mystic side of this whole mind over matter for years and when I actually tried to explore the idea with people who were "gifted", I found nothing but disappointment both with myself, and with those who were trying to "enlighten" me.
Written by: FireTomwe practised walking before doing it so that we had a good pace and how to put our mind elsewhere and filter out the whole walking on hot coals.
Ben, in the walking on fire thing were you instructed on HOW to place your feet on the coals?

But all being trickery, huh? Meaning - for example - that all those shaolin performances are simply fake? Something in me is resenting to this - but then maybe I'm one of those "wanna-believers". Did you see that old man doing his one-finger stand? Certainly he's got a rope, attached to his feet, or the room actually is upside down - thus meaning in reality he's pointing at the roof or the wall....
Now coming to an interesting point: If we can trick our minds that we're able to walk on hot coals without getting burned and it's happening - what's the difference?

I'm certain that street magicians and illuionists are working with pretty simple tricks ("I can read your mind, think of a number between 1 and 50 - they have to be odd numbers and they can't be the same number, think fast..... Is it..... 37?") Unfortunately I missed the levitation part on Discovery channel last night...

But why would my cleaning up in Vegas motivations really be a problem? I was planning on taking a ummm, percentage of my winnings and buying a piece of land and a bunch of those tiny modular homes and setting up a community based on sustainability. At least there was an altruistic component to my plan?
Did "the cosmic forces" judge me unworthy of insight nonetheless ?
