Impossible or Not?
Amongst the run of everyday life sometimes there is an occurrence of mind blowing proportion. I would like to build for you an image. A true, real life, graphic portrayal of an incident caught on camera.
A train drew up at a stop and a crowd of passengers alighted, amongst them were two men and two women and they were having a heated fight that continued out into the street. One of the women stood behind the other trying to restrain her and they faced the two men at the side of the train. There were several yards separating the dispute but one man stepped forward aggressively towards the leading lady who stretched out her hands with a shoving motion. What happened next is hard to believe. The man was catapulted into the air and thrown violently back hitting the side of the train and collapsed in a heap on the floor. The second man continued shouting at the women and he too approached her. The leading lady again did the shoving motion with her hands but this time she raised her arms. The second man found himself catapulted back and pinned to the side of the train several yards above the ground until the leading lady lowered her arms. Still intent on continuing the dispute the second man rose to his feet and approached her again. The same thing happened but this time the second man stayed crouched on the floor. The lady in the lead looked at her hands with amazement and turned to where there was a row of tables with items for sale. She did the same pushing action and the nearest table shot backwards and upwards dropping all the items on the floor. She did the same to the second table and as one the crowd surrounding her backed away including the lady that had been trying to restrain her. Instead of being happy at her new found power the lady collapsed on the floor crying hysterically.
I do not know what became of the leading lady in the dispute or how what she did was interpreted by those who know her. What should the display that she was involved in be called and were these indeed powers that tied into her deepest of emotions? I am left wondering how such a thing is possible and yet I have seen a second phenomenon. In a café a young lady was sitting on her own opposite a rowdy group of young customers. An empty glass on their table began jerkily moving across the table to the edge. The rowdy customers noticed the glass moving and what appeared to be the young lady by herself moving her hand and arm in unison with the glass movement. One of the rowdy group may have thought it was a trick and threw a piece of discarded paper at the young lady to distract her. In reply the young lady made the whole table start to slide across the floor and this alarmed the rowdy group until one of the boys aggressively approached her. To his surprise he found himself lifted off his feet and thrown violently back, fortunately he landed into an empty chair behind him. The young lady stood up and left the café without a word.
What if I was to tell you that a third remarkable incident occurred. One night at a crossroads a lorry was travelling fast and as it approached the crossing from the right a rickshaw was directly in the path of the lorry. From the left a figure of a man appeared a fraction of a second before impact. The lorry braked hard but had travelled several yards further down the road. The lorry driver walked back looking for the crushed rickshaw and driver only to see him unharmed by the side of the road. The rickshaw driver and mystery man walked slowly away. The rickshaw driver seemed to sit on the kerb still unbelieving he was alive and unharmed.
What had just happened must be thought by many as impossible and beyond normal physics. Who or what had been the mystery man? Was he a real superman, one who could be saved from a seemingly fatal incident. Although he did not have any special appearance what happened to him did seem to have a significant impact on what happened in his life.
Levitation has always been a power that ordinary people have dreamt of but as a child I remember an incident in my grandmother's home. I was standing at the top of the stairs daydreaming. Was it wistful thinking or had I really glided down the stairs without walking? I opened my eyes to find myself at the foot of the stairs and my heart was pounding with excitement. What separates the mystifying from what is thought possible and could it be that if caught on camera the evidence could alter our perception of what we think?
I have seen wise men who have demonstrated the ability to levitate but I have seen illusionists do similar things. The illusionist's achievement I know is a trick but that does not prove the wise man not to be able to achieve genuine levitation. There seem to be many incidents referenced, talked of or ingrained into the psyche of populations but when evidence of something thought impossible is caught on camera does it then become possible?
