Can humans develop supernatural powers?

1. The mysterious world of supernatural powers

The supernatural is that which is not subject to the laws of physics, or more figuratively, that which is said to exist above and beyond nature. Indian mythology is also full of legends who could go invisible, heal by touch, fly in the air or walk on the water because of certain siddhis and boons that they had attained. Sounds like a fable? Let’s explore to know if these powers exist…even today!

2. The mysterious world of supernatural powers

Religious miracles are typically supernatural claims as are spells and curses, divination, the belief that there is an afterlife for the dead, and innumerable others. Supernatural beliefs have existed in many cultures throughout human history. Surprisingly, the ratio of the people who believe in the presence of such powers in the south Asian countries is more than the rest of the world.

3. How to develop supernatural powers

This brief excerpt that follows in the next few slides regarding the development of supernatural powers is extracted from Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. All supernatural powers are developed through the practice of concentration,MEDITATION and absorption. Let’s take a look…

4. Concentration

Concentration consists of holding the mind fixed upon the Inner Light and the power/ability you desire to attain. To do this, you can imagine yourself standing in the center of the sphere of dazzling, brilliant white Light, allowing everything else to fade from your awareness.

5. Absorption

After your mind has been focused on a single thought throughMEDITATION for some time, you'll reach the stage of absorption. At this point you'll feel that you have completely merged with the object of your focus, that there is no longer separation between you and what you are contemplating, but instead that you have become the very idea you have been focused on.

6. Self-control

Concentration, meditation and absorption together form self-control. Self-control on specific supernatural power brings that power into expression.

7. Other ways of getting supernatural powers

Supernatural powers may appear by birth, through the use of psycho-active drugs, through incantations - chanting mantras, through inner purification, and through concentrated thought. Transformation into another state occurs by direction the flow of creative energy. Creative energy is moved into action by removal of inner obstacles. The obstacles to appearance of supernatural powers are scattered mind, scattered emotions and dissipation of energy through sensual pursuits.

8. Supernatural powers by birth

Some people are born with some special supernatural abilities like: Remembering the previous birth, X-ray Vision, Foretell and other extra super powers. Enthusiastic researchers have been doing lots to reveal their secrets and found amazing facts.

9. Supernatural powers by mantras

Mantra is nothing but a set of words of truth in any particular language. We use it in our daily life too! If we say ‘I can do it’ again and again; yes, then we can do it. Scientists called it creating positive attitude by autosuggestion that influences our subconscious mind to believe that we can do it and it creates the surroundings to do it! Research onMEDITATION and parapsychology proved that a repetition of particular word does affect you and your surroundings.

There is no language an Aligist cannot know.

Illumination Fire is when a person creates a ball of light energy instead of heat energy.

It only takes one glance for the brain to register everything that is happening around them.

It is actually a bending of time that is created slowing down everyone else and making it appear as though you are moving much faster than everyone else.

31. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Stop Time: The ability to stop time is a complicated one. It is unclear exactly how many people have this power because they are unwilling to register themselves.

34. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Time Travel: The ability to Time Travel is not very common. These people are a form of Teleporter who have learned to move themselves through time instead of space.

35. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Walk Through Walls: The ability to Walk Through Walls an interesting one. The bearer of this power must move their molecules apart to fit through the cracks between the molecules of the wall or whatever object they are trying to walk through.

37. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Aura Reading: In parapsychology and many forms of spiritual practice, an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object. The depiction of such an aura often connotes a person of particular power or holiness. Sometimes, however, it is said that all living things (including humans) and all objects manifest such an aura. Often it is held to be perceptible, whether spontaneously or with practice: such perception is at times linked with the third eye of Indian spirituality.

38. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Bilocation: Bilocation is the alleged ability to be in two places at the same time. St Pio of Pietrelcina, the famous stigmatic, was said to have this ability. It is said to be a physical, rather than spiritual ability, which makes it different from astral projection. Friends of Aliester Crowley, the occultist, claimed that he had this ability, though in situations were he was meant to have bilocated, he was unaware of it.

39. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Although it is uncommon, bilocation is an ancient phenomenon. It is claimed to have been experienced, and even practiced by will, by mystics, ecstatics, saints, monks, holy persons, and magical adepts. This is also normally the explanation given for the tales of people appearing to loved ones just prior to their death.

40. Supernatural powers and abilities human can develop

Pyrokinesis: Pyrokinesis is the ability to ignite or extinguish fires with the mind. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that this ability is real, though many people involved in the field of parapsychology believe it exists. There may be a connection between this alleged ability and the various reports of spontaneous human combustion.
