levitation

[Inferius]

Wake up Inferius...

You're still asleep.

What is and what isn't?

How can we communicate the invisible when the words themselves lose meaning in translation?

I do think, in my own personal definitions, that instead of waking up, I managed to sleep deeper.

I am not sure of anything anymore,
and i'm sick of those who play off anyone else's personal enlightenment as if it is nothing, making themselves into some kind of spiritual know-it-all without any solidifying backup.

I need to know that there is a ladder,
to be sure that whatever I'm trying to climb isn't just
a spinning world.

some airforce heads think that its possible to create a UFO with 2 discs of rotating magnets (opposite polarities) can cause it to have anti-gravitational effects.

...now whether thats true or not is a different story.

im pretty sure it is cause dont they have trains that run on magnets? i think they float too....
eh.

lol maglev trains float because of the repulsion force between the magnets on the bottom of the train and those on the track

i really dont see any connection with disks which are part of one vehicle pushing apart from one another and flight... but hey there might be just one little thing missing in your description that makes some sort of amazing UFO... I just very much doubt it

[mrdevious]

analysis.. just like the laws of physics...

Mr. Devious.. I am very sorry if I was rude. I did not intend for my comment to be rude.. just playful...

I will be more careful

Nah it's cool GK, I've just been in an exceptionally bad mood the past while. Sorry to go off on you.

interesting idea... from my understanding of physics though it wouldn't work as it would be much the same as trying to levitate by grabbing your own belt and trying to lift. there needs to be an external force or a propelent involved. you know what i mean? unless you can set up the magnets to create some sort of barrier from the earth's gravity pulling on the mass of the object/person trying to levitate. here is the crazy thing... this sounds like such ridiculous talk simply b/c we know of nothing yet that can do this. there is a good chance there is some sort of metal/material in the vast expanse of the universe that has anti-gravity properties..

fun to think about anyway...

The reason it is impossible is the Sage understands the world but does not interfere with it.
Any being that has the ability to levitate would not do it because if someone saw him do it he would have fools either trying to worship him or murder him.
Part of the responsibility of metaphysical power is to own the power but not to wield the power. The Sage wants to remain unknown. He doesnt need idiots worshiping him. He or She understands that as a member of this physical plane part of their job is to be apart of the physical world.
Teleporting and bi locating involve moving the physical body instantly to another location. In truth the sage pulls the other location to where he is.
The Sage has their own agenda. This can get messed up if others of the physical plane understand that he or she is the Sage.
I believe in astral travel so in some matter that could be considered levitation, because you could hover above were ever you wanted.
Levitation as a trick is a game of the ego.
The Sage does not play games.

interesting perspective for sure! i liked reading your post... two thoughts/questions...

one... do you assume that all sages opperate with the SAME principles you view of sages??? there is no deviant whatsoever to the "Sage Agenda?" that would be pretty amazing if it were the case... are sage's a part of the human race (organic beings) or it sounds like you are describing a spiritual entity incarnating to our physical existence?

second... bi-location (from the definition) has nothing to do with quickly moving from one location to another (like transportation would from one physical place to another physical place or translation from one plane of existence or time to another)... but actually refers to simultaneously being present in two different physical locations at the same instant.

Totally. It's one of the worst ways to be a total hypocrite in my opinion. But I've come to the conclusion that knowm's actually a good guy, so I just try to love him back.

I remember a time when I thought I was enlightened or on the verge of becoming so. But that was awhile ago, back before I had a sense of humor.

peace.

levitation- the rising or lifting of a person or thing by means held to be supernatural...(merriam-webster's online dictionary)
propel- to drive forward or onward by or as if by means of a force that imparts motion

incorporating magnets or unknown metals would probably be considered propulsion because they impart motion

I am familiar with Bi locations definition, but thanks for defining it, because I failed to do it in my post. I assumed all people reading this would know what Bi location is. That is what happens when you post and you are high. There is no edit after 5 min.:stoned:

There is a deviation in the Sage Agenda as you call it. There is a dangerous trap that the apprentice can fall for. It is called the "guru" complex.

They see and feel there inner power growing. Suddenly their lives change in many dramatic ways. As the power flows through them it is not enough for them to continue their spiritual quest unknown.

They seek approval from others. It is an ego trap.

The people who fall in this trap get a little power and rooms full of fools following them. You see them at new age type events. They make good money and sometimes start cults or churches.

The Sage does not need approval from anyone. They can go about their lives undisturbed and they can slowly change the world and make a difference.

My use of the word Sage by me means a human being that has manifested spiritual awareness in this life. He or she walks in two dimensions the physical world and the spiritual world.

i can levitate

juss gimme a couple tokes and watch me fly

[Thepossumdance]

the answer is... MAYBE! we really have no good understanding of how gravity works and thus can not devise an "anti-gravity" device.
