from the URL below reminded me of something I'd read years ago and
posted somewhere, don't know if it was a file or not.
As I recall, Simon the Magician was a contemporary of Jesus and had an
enormous following of his beliefs and ideas, thus he challenged Jesus'
claims and teachings.
Now, this post isn't about all that with all its permutations, but is
with the TECHNICAL CONSIDERATION of how Simon could have flown as he
is reported to have done in the Bible, swooping over the crowd and
flying around the city, not like the pablum movie version where he is
suspended by a thin cable from a tall tower.
There is a body of extant information that relates some of Simon's
teachings. I don't recall where I found some of it, but it talks
about how he did this flying stunt.
Like charges repel as in electrons wanting to expand away from each
other (totally beaten by Ken Shoulders charge clustering method where
electrons are clumped together and bound like grapes, exploding with
amazing energy when they strike a conductive material).
The earth is negatively charged with relation to air. The higher you
are above the earth, the less negative you are which means as you
breathe and walk on the earth you are swimming in positive and
negative energies.
Simon claimed to have gone into a deep valley and laid on the ground
for a period of time, with his nostrils and mouth as close to the
earth as he could get, breathing the negatively enriched air. The
more of this that went into his body, the more negative he became and
so he REPELLED electrostatically from the earth.
I don't think it was true FULL repulsion but rather a weight loss down
to pounds or ounces which would allow him to swim through the air
using wings (which I think the description related as something like a
cape).
If you could reduce your physical weight to gravity, whether it be
diamagnetic repulsion against the earths magnetic field, electrostatic
repulsion against the earths negative field or actual reduction of
zpe/aether influx into matter, you could easily jump over a building
and float like a leaf in the air, subject to every wind current that
came along.
There is no reason you could not build a type of wing like angels
(perhaps thats where these flying being images came from, REAL people
who could actually fly) that really DID let you fly, since the hardest
part about flying is providing the lift.
Anyway, thought you folks might enjoy the Simon recount..I'll see if I
can find where that was posted..seems easy enough to test, anyone up
for a flight test?
