Levitation
seems to be one of those areas that even the best of believers in "no
limitations" cannot seem to believe is possible. And, I have to admit that even
I look at it and find it an awesomeness over many of the other so-called miracles.
But also, having done it, it is easier for my belief system to accept it as a reality
rather than myth.
As a child, I had no questions about whether it was possible. It just
was something that happened. Today, we accept that people can be psychic. We
accept that some have "the gift of healing". Out of body experiences
are currently being experienced and discussed throughout metaphysical circles. We
even can accept that there are a few people that can make things disappear and
reappear. Or, even some that can float objects with their minds. But,
the idea of being able to float one's body off the ground has as much dead weight in
people's minds as the acceptance of gravity.
Recently, I made the claim to a group of people, that discuss just
about anything, that I have levitated. And, most of this group appear to believe that
it can be done. But, some are skeptical. Others that know me on a more
personal level seem to believe that if anyone they know can do it...it is probably me.
I really do not accept many limitations.
I have levitated on and off since childhood. As a child, levitation
was something I did not question. Like healing my friends as they were hurt,
levitation was just something that needed to be done from time to time. Like getting
something from a high shelf that could not be reached. I either brought the object
to me...or...took me to the object. As children, it appears that we just did not
think much about it and it was no big deal.
Then, somewhere along the line an adult saw me do it. They let me know
that this was unacceptable. If others saw me do this, it could cause a whole lot of
grief for me. They would find me weird. Possibly take me away and lock me up.
A minister once told me that acts like this were from the devil. As any other
child being taught fears, I started to restrict where and when I would do these so-called
acts that no one else remembered...or...chose to forget they could do.
At the age of about 13 1/2 years, I guess I just got tired of being the only
one that seemed to know the things I did or could do and I started to shut all these
unacceptable things down. Fortunately, I received a teacher that stopped me from
finishing the process of forgetting. She did however teach me to keep them
private. However, the ability to levitate seemed to be one of the acts that really
unsettled others and appeared to be the most unacceptable of all the abilities and so it
received little attention any longer from me.
I must share that I have always been aware that I would do it again someday
in view of a gathering of others. Since childhood, I have had recurring visions of
things in the future. One of these is of me levitating over a group of people in
what appears to be an amphi-theater. Recently, that vision grew more inclusive and
others also rose from the crowd. What it means I am not sure. However, I do
know this is something that will happen.
Now that I have mentioned that I have levitated, I am being challenged to
prove it. The EGO part of me wants to do just that...meet the challenge.
But, for me to do it right now, would only be fulfilling my EGO...and the curiosity
of one that would probably only accept that it was a trick of magic anyway. And, in
all honesty I do not know any longer how I do it. But, maybe by sharing when it
happens, a better understanding will come about and others that read this may help
remember how we all use to be able to do this. And, I truly know we all just forgot
how. Reason: I recently saw a small two year old child float an object.
So, I know we are still being born with the abilities.
To share when I have experienced levitations, I will start from the most
recent occurrence and work backwards in my history. That way the most clear memories
will be presented first.
About three months back, I had a disagreement with a friend. I really
let my emotions get the best of me and I left their house in a major anger. As I
left with a three hour drive in front of me, I lost track of me. I remember being at
the corner of their block and starting to turn right to head towards the freeway.
The next thing I knew I was in the parking lot below Nojoqui Falls. I do not
remember driving there...but then, I was having an extreme case of "mind-f__k"
and as Bob Seeger sings "...the wheels of your mind drive you crazy." And,
I was so angry that that was what was happening. But, since for some reason the
Universe directed me here, I had enough sense to accept and get out of the car and start
walking up the path to the Falls. I was still angry...I was still a mess of
arguments in my head...but, I was listening to my direction.
When I got to the Falls no one else was there. That was good because I
do not like loosing it in front of others...and...I was definitely loosing it. And,
I started sobbing uncontrollably. I was so hurt. But, the release was
evidently what I needed and slowly I started to relax. I sat down on one of my
favorite meditation rocks and it was really strange. For weeks, we had been coming
to this area and I had been becoming one with the environment. Today, the
environment became one with me. I felt the energy of the trees, the water, the
shrubbery,...even the rocks and dirt become one with me. And, this peace came over
me. This super calm energy just radiated through me...from me...was me. And,
the energy of everything around me was alive. Not just by a feeling, but I was also
seeing it flow, leap, dance and play from tree to tree...from tree to rock...and, the
colors...the movement...the music. Anyway, a point was reached and I felt the urge
that it was time to go, so I started back down the path to the car.
About two-thirds of the way down the path, I have a tree that has become a
friend. Each time coming back down the path I stop and share some energy with it.
One of the first times we came here, it called me, showed its aura, and it
shared with me when I touched it. Today, it yelled at me to stop and put my
hands on it. Immediately as I touched it, I was directed to back up. I
listened and backed up until it told me to stop. I was about 12 feet from it and in
the middle of a small clearing surrounded by trees. I am standing in a bed of leaves
and I felt the urge to sit down in meditation style and did so. I have learned
to listen when I hear things this way. Anyway... I sit down, close my eyes, start my
preparation breathing, and almost immediately feel like I am hit with energy from all
directions. It is pleasant, it is warm, and it is very comfortable. Then, I
begin to hear the dried leaves underneath me start to crackle as my body begins to rise
from them. Being there just for the ride, I just let everything happen.
What was going on in my head is of little importance other than the feeling of complete
harmony with everything again. I do not know how long a time I was there in that
state, but when it appeared it was done, I found myself approximately 3 1/2 feet off the
ground. I unfolded my legs from my meditation position and just put my feet down to
the ground.
Some might expect that I would sit down and analyze all this because I had
been levitating. Levitation was not new to me. And, all that I had experienced
was much more important than analyzing how I had levitated.
Going backwards in my history, I can remember a few times that I have found
myself above my meditation chair at home a few inches. Sometimes it is a little
shocking to find yourself drop onto the chair after meditating or returning.
Returning...yes, being a couple inches above the chair when returning from an OBE is
probably more frequent now that I have thought of it.
Now, when is the last time someone saw me levitate? In Yuma,
Arizona... Yes. In 1989...I remember the time Bud and Robin came in and found
me above the couch in the office. They interrupted a meditation I was in...or was I
zooming?...doesn't matter. I remember being caught off guard and almost fell off the
couch when I dropped. But, by then they had learned to expect anything with me.
Still remember sitting at the desk and talking with Bud and him coming un-glued.
Him jumping up in complete wonderment and screaming, "Do you know what you
just did?" I had just moved the ashtray from the corner of the desk to just
under my hand to drop the ashes without physically moving it. Actually, I think 4 or
5 people at different times came to the church while I was meditating or zooming that
caught me hovering over the chair or couch. Interestingly, it can also happen and
one not know it. Rev. Gertrude in a conversation at a Practitioner Class said that
she saw me about 6 feet up in the sanctuary one day. I do not remember anything
about that. There was a chair in the sanctuary I liked to sit in for OBEs.
Now, the only experience I remember of levitating another would be Wendy.
About the time I was 20 years of age. For the sake of this writing, let's
just say she fell from about a heigth of 3 stories. I caught her. I do know
that I slowed the speed and weight of her fall. She did not fall into my arms...she
gently set down into my arms.
And, one more memory or levitating with another comes to mind.
Fifth or sixth grade time element. Kathy and I rose about the level of a two
story building together. We were out near the base of the sandstone waterfall on the
Rancho Los Cerritos property. Kathy had the ability too. We held hands and up
we went to the top. I remember our fears of someone seeing us. Both of us had
been receiving all the reasons why we should not do this anymore.
So, how does one levitate? I do not know. I could say it is by
belief. But, what about the times that I was not even in my body when it was
happening? Good question. That would lead me to believe that it is caused by a
higher vibrational rate. I accept that my vibrational rate increases when I
meditate...or...I leave my body. I could say that I have no disbelief about it.
I am sure that that would have some bearing on it happening. In other
words, there is no belief that would block it from happening.
Unfortunately, I do not seem to have memory of how I did it as a child when
I use to just consciously do it. As far as slowing Wendy's descent down when she
jumped...it was just important to do it. I did not think about it, I just did it.
Or, something inside of me directed it?...
From now on, I will pay more attention to my thoughts when I find myself
levitating, so that I can share that and help remind others of the fact that they can do
it. In the meantime, let's just share what we believe may be the answer.
First, vibrational rate is definitely a part of it. As I look back, I
do know that the most recent occurrences have come at times that I know I have had a
higher vibrational rate. And, as I learned through Rev. Gertrude, one may actually
have a higher vibrational rate during a session of anger. I find that odd myself;
but, it may depend on what the anger is directed to. Not sure on that yet.
Regardless, if one is going to work (play) at levitation, one may need to do some Peace of
Mind work to raise their vibrational rate.
Second, I would suggest that one work with their doubts in this area.
Remembering that scientists say it takes 21 days for someone to accept a change in their
thinking about any idea, one might try a 21 day affirmation program directed at the
acceptance that they can levitate. Man was given "dominion"
over the elements. Even Jesus said that we could do greater "works" than
he. If he could levitate, we can levitate. If anyone can levitate, then that
proves that we all can.
Third, one might do some visualization work (play) in this area.
However, I would not visualize seeing myself levitate. I think the direction for
this would be seeing the changes in the environment as I was levitating. In other
words, seeing through the eyes of the levitating person. If one is rising in a room
with a bookshelf on the wall, then one would start with seeing the bookshelf up higher
than one's self. Then as one started to levitate up, the bookshelf would be at eye
level...then below eye level. Personally, I suggest that anyone that practices the
relearning of levitating do so in a room. It has a ceiling. Just a precaution
here until one gets a better understanding... or, just remembers again.
Fourth, I am sure that meditation on this idea would also be helpful.
Go within where all is known. Listen to what you already know. And,
Spirit does remember and does know.
For me... I do know. I also know that when it is important, I will
levitate. I have no dis-belief of this. As to doing it when I choose to do so,
if I chose to follow the directions suggested above, I would eventually do it when
I choose. Right now, that is not important to me. It would only serve the
purposes of others at this time and I am not sure that I am supposed to be doing that
quite yet. I will be directed as to when. And, it appears from the
visions I have had, that others will know at the same time. One of those, may just
be you!
