Really, this is getting out of hand...

So you're saying that Jesus was diamagnetic? Right, his skin was
superconductive, then? :) I really think we're all going in the wrong
direction on this -- everyone is trying to fit their own interpretation to
this - but it does occur that there is a possible route that we haven't
explored. Someone mentioned earlier a martial arts demonstration where
someone apparently altered his weight such that none could lift him. This,
along with the Sidhis (I *THINK* that's the proper term for the powers
granted to Yogis, right?) are two places to start looking for clues as to
how one can levitate yourself without external assistance. I don't suppose
anyone here is very familiar with a Yogi?
I'm not discounting the whole diamagnetic line of thought - I'm just
saying that I'd like to hear more on it if you have additional
information.
