I hate it. Typed up a HUGE email response and before I could post it,
the thing reset the browser and I lost it. Thought I'd just let it go
but read your email again at home and figured I'd better post it.

Just threw me for a loop because when I was a young teen, I used to read
voraciously (and still do every chance I get). The small town I grew up
in had a very small public library and I went through every book that
was remotely eclectic. Found a book whose title I don't recall but it
was about anomalies.
It described a young girl who worked in a carnival sideshow. Her
'talent' was she could do some mental trick so that no one could move
her. The book says several burly men would try to pick her up or gently
push her over and she would not budge. The stage was wood, no magnets,
glue or anything prosaic was involved. When asked how she did this, the
girl said she had learned to focus her thoughts or consciousness on a
point right below her navel and willed that she could not be moved.
Wonder if that stage hypnosis thing where someone is made stiff as a
board between two chairs and someone else walks on them, might be
related???
There are Chi Quong and yogic masters who also claim this ability. One
book said they altered their center of gravity by focussing all their
weight on this area below the navel.
Now, it might appear I'm getting way too excited about this but here's
why. I found an article about a fellow in Kansas around 1850 who woke
up one day and found himself stuck to the ceiling of his bedroom. Stuck
is probably the wrong word, he was floating up against the ceiling.
He managed to crawl to where he could reach his dresser mirror and
dragged himself down where he devised a lead weighted belt to hold him
to the ground so he would at least not float off.
The family was consulted along with doctors and no one could explain
this peculiar buoyancy. He had to have income to support himself and
family so they decided he should go on the road as a sideshow type
attraction. Billing himself as 'The Floating Wonder' he toured the
midwest for several years charging a quarter to view him and test the
condition for yourself.
Doctors, scientists, engineers, lay people, no one could detect any
fraud, no magnets, no mirrors, no strings, nothing.
On entering the tent, here would be this guy with his legs crossed
though sometimes stretched out, bobbing gently in the air about 4 feet
off the ground. He was weighted just like a neutral buoyancy jacket
used by scuba divers to remain at a set level.
He was asked if anything odd happened to him before this buoyancy
phenomenon appeared and he could not recall anytyhing out of the
ordinary.
He did not dare take off his belt outside or he would float away like a
bubble. The condition remained for many years and finally, one day, he
claims to have woke up and found the condition healed, he had regained
his normal weight. From that point on he retired.
At the time, many thought he had collected enough money to retire and
simply grew tired of all the questions and tests so just said he'd
regained his weight. He was buried in his hometown in Kansas. There
are supposed to be many newspaper reports on the guy in the midwest
newspaper archives which I one day hope to check out.
Now,laugh as you will, but I add this to my arsenal indicating gravity
can be controlled, increased or decreased at will as with yogic
abilities or through instrumentation.
For centuries, there have been reports of flying men, angels, bat men,
what appear to be humanoid creatures flying through the air, often with
wings.
This is not a stretch when you think how a person who only weighed half
a pound by virture of the effect of a device or mental state could
easily vault over a building or freely swim through the air.

Let's also not forget the amazing report of Madam David Alexandra Neel
in her book Magic and Mystery in Tibet where she reported witnessing a
priest of the 'lung-gom-pa' in trance and jumping 50 feet at a time.
When she tried to call to him to ask questions, she was forbidden saying
if she broke his 'trance' while he was high in the air during a jump, he
would regain all his weight, fall and possibly kill or badly injure
himself.
If you can decrease weight by altering the flow of 'gravity' into it,
you can also increase it. I know, I fly about 3 times a week during my
sleep...<g>...always with a belt device and it is the most wonderful
thing (well, ALMOST) that I've experienced, even if it is CURRENTLY just
a dream...it makes me keep working on HOW because I feel this knowledge
was once ubiquitous among the priests and magicians of the land and will
one day be a common thing for us, whether it be personal flight
suits/belts or flying vehicles.
