Witness to Levitation
by Anonymous

When I was growing up in the 1970s, my parents, somewhat hippies at the time, became followers of a guru after learning meditation. Now they stayed this way for several years, although this wasn't like a cult religion with communes or anything. But I remember seeing something that intrigues me to this day.

There was this man and his son, who had travelled India and Nepal from guru to guru attaining different disciplines and practices. I recall the name of his son as Jaoquin. Anyway, this kid wasn't westernized in the least, although American, I assume, at least by birth. He had rarely ever seen cartoons, which as a kid I thought strange. Never heard of Kiss, the rock group, which was really unusual for guys at that age. Basicly, seemed to have lived a very cloistered life.

My parents used to go to an ashram, and while they were listening to other speakers, us kids would usually just go out and get ice cream or whatever in the area. One night, it was this man who volunteered to take us out and then over to his house where he was staying. There was his son Jauquin, my younger sister and I.

Here's what I recall. We went into his backyard where they had a telescope set up. His father pointed it toward the planet Mars and we took turns looking through it. He told us about a dark spot on the planet that they focus on that can make them do something remarkable, but at that point we did'nt know what. Then we went inside into their strangely empty house and hung out for a bit. This man let us know that what they were doing required a lot of concentration, so they needed some quiet, regardless of what happens. So we agreed and just sat around to watch whatever was going to happen. Then he turned to us and said that he was going to float. So I was like, okay, go ahead. The man faced the wall, folded his hands in front of him and stood in concentration. Then he began to teeter slightly back and forth, then his feet lifted off the ground as he carefully wiggled his toes underneath to tell whether he was off the carpet on not (or maybe to tell how far up). Granted it was no more than an inch or so, but he eventually rose higher to approximately six inches and was in fact floating.

When he got to this height, he held his hand out to the wall to stabilize himself and then drifted down. I remember being quite amazed and then it was Jaoquin's turn. His father stood behind him as if to help if he was to fall or something and sure enough the boy rose off the ground about six to eight inches.

Later when I asked how it was done, his father simply told me that on the surface of the planet Mars there is a whirlpool that can, I suppose, lift people up when they connect to it and concentrate it.

Now there are a lot of stories on this site that may or may not be true but this one is real, I assure you. Now I myself have tried this a few times and what I get is a teetering back and forth thing with a sense of lightness in my body, but it does seem to do something strange. I get a sensation of smoothly lifting upward, but I can't get off the ground. I always sense like I am falling forward, which makes me nervous and totally breaks my focus. This is a true story, but there are secrets to it I have yet to figure out. But please let me attest to this as an actual witness of this, human levitation is a real phenomenon.
