I firmly believe that everyone on ATS has the right to voice their individual opinions, but this thread is just ridiculous. I believe in many oddities that seem to exist in the world yet the ideas that have proposed here are utterly unfathomable. At the very least please stop posting pixelated pictures that show absolutely nothing to the rest of us. As was suggested you may have a different perception of reality OP, but considering most of us have what would be considered a normal perception of reality, you may need to momentarily conform in order to get your point across.
The pictures of geologic formations are just that, and to suggest otherwise undermines the intelligence of everyone who decided to sift through this thread. Admittedly the prospect of flying a mountain is quite intriguing..... but it ain't gonna happen. If you said Cheyenne mountain could fly, I'd almost believe it.....
Anyhow, unfortunately I don't have access to my copy of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders at this moment, so a brief synopsis of the Diagnostic criteria posted on Wikipedia will have to suffice.... so with any further delay here is all I truly have left to mention to the readers of this thread, and most importantly the OP.
"DSM IV-TR Criteria
To be diagnosed with schizophrenia, a person must display:[4]
* Characteristic symptoms: Two or more of the following, each present for a significant portion of time during a one-month period (or less, if successfully treated)
o delusions
o hallucinations
o disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence; speaking in abstracts). See thought disorder.
o grossly disorganized behavior (e.g. dressing inappropriately, crying frequently) or catatonic behavior
o negative symptoms, i.e., affective flattening (lack or decline in emotional response), alogia (lack or decline in speech), or avolition (lack or decline in motivation)."
Though the last two symptoms cannot be confirmed or denied in this case since none of us know the OP personally, I think many of us can agree that the first three can be quite applicable in this scenario. Though the delusions that have been apparent in the course of this thread aren't necessarily considered bizarre by psychiatric standards.... at the very least much could be precursers to a serious mental disorder(s). This is not meant to be insulting, but given the circumstances this should be a real concern of not only the OP, but of his family. Best of luck, if the OP is currently prescribed any psychiatric medicines I urge him to stay on them. All to often, especially with patients that have disorders relating to schizophrenia they begin to believe that since they drugs alleviate much of their symptoms that they do not need to be medicated anymore and quite using.... and less severe symptoms like shown in this thread begin to become apparent. The problem is they generally spiral out of control after that. Including delusions that someone has removed vital organs from his/her body without their knowledge and they somehow live on magically.
Though I wasn't able to afford to finish my schooling I at least have an AA in both psychology and sociology. I may not be 100% knowledgeable in all things relating to psychological disorders, and I urge the OP to see someone immediately. Again this isn't meant as in insult, this should be a very real concern.

The Djinn are said to be creatures with free will, made from 'smokeless fire' by God, in the same way humans were made of earth. According to the Qur'an, Djinn have free choice, and Iblis used this freedom in front of God by refusing to bow to Adam when God told Iblis to do so. By refusing to obey God’s order he was thrown out of the Paradise and called “Shaitan” (See Shaitan and Satan). In the Qur'an, Djinn are frequently mentioned. Sura 72 of the Holy Qur'an (named Al-Jinn) is entirely about them. Another Sura (Al-Naas) mentions the Djinn in the last verse. It is also mentioned in the Qur'an that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both “humanity and the Djinn”.

"My name is Legion, for we are many." New Testament Book Of Mark
How do the Djinn influence persons? The demonica in the Book of Mark was very strong and he wept and wailed among the tombstones until the Christ cast out legion.
(Mark 5) They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. 3 He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain; 4 for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him; 7 and he shouted at the top of his voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me." 8 For he had said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!" 9 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many." 10 He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding; 12 and the unclean spirits begged him, "Send us into the swine; let us enter them." 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea. 14 The swineherds ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 They came to Jesus and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the legion; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine reported it.
