seems obvious to me that we are more than physical bodies. but i am a libra, before I knew it to be so..

i did meditation, and reflected on times that my consciousness was 'altered' (time i got nearly knocked out) (that time i went around a corner super fast and felt so alive that I forgot about how upset i was at the world) .. those times helped me to examine the gap between the thinking mind and something else. it is only when time is squeezed out that the real you emerges.

i studied the amazing people of the world, doing feats that are thought humanly impossible i found people living without food or water, burned themselves alive without apparent pain, tibetan monks physical abilities, bruce lee...

this guy that survived impaling, said it was only possible when he was in a meditative state of divine connection... once broke his arm and repaired it by going into that state... here is a video...

(note on the video..i didn't listen to the words, i just watched, i found information later about him online, wasn't easy to find and years ago.. mirin dajo.. that is his name)

found a man that could start fire with his hands..

and we haven't even made it to india yet. Check out Yogananda 'Autobiography of a Yogi' .. at the very least interesting.

in the end, you won't believe until you do it for yourself, begin to raise your awareness by meditation. it is amazing how much we miss, how much we ignore, and how much we can be fully present in our bodies.

it is kinda funny in a way, most people are hardly present in their bodies at all.. yet think of themselves as that alone.
