Humans seem be very adaptable, i believe that with enough time and focus we could become one of those races if we wanted to..

I totally agree,
only
Nowadays, science has replaced years of spiritual development and mind/body transformation from childhood with logical explanations and proofs that after years of study may be understood via the intellect but not via experience.
Not having this internal experience the madman goes out and apllies this knowledge externally, to modify to all his needs what exists naturally. Technofetishism is born and the urge to write a manual for reality, a walkthrough to the universe is the sorry scientists lone obsession.
The more the intellectual understands the more dangerous it gets. Although science is far from "illuminated", tinkering with atomic forces and DNA have become acquired "skills" in the field of this sick form of meditation. There is no need for morality, virtue, self-cultivation or restraint, if you can build it, you have the power, if you need resources for the production of your toys, take them, if necessary by force.
So as the scientific endeavour of more PROOF (more LIGHT) proceeds and once it has finally "illuminated" itself, I do not dare what gadgets this new set of "skills" will bring forth. The most dangerous religion mankind has seen so far.
The question remains: What does one need for more insight, one's body or a Hardon Collider? Which is more high-tech?

I agree, i believe we were much closer to these abilities long ago, but have devolved as it were, and as of late are being supressed in various ways.

A good example of this would be the monks and such that spend half of their life honing a skill whether it almost physical invincibility as it were to an extent, or extreme strength, or on the other end of the spectrum we can develop our spiritual side as well, and very possible opening doors to higher awareness/ intuitiveness, being able to possible see ouras and manipulate our "chi" energy.
But the only problem we seem to face is that it takes time to develop these attributes, a lot of time decades even. So that kind of limits the ammount of potential in a way its more like you have to choose one or two skills you would like to work on for your life.
