Ancient Psychic Super Powers!

Also this isnt nonsense this is a conversation on ancient psychic superpowers lets keep it that way.

When you bring in PHYSICAL impossibilities it is no longer psychic. I responded to the thread, I did not bring anything in that was not said. If you don't like things being debunked then do not bring in easily debunked ideas.

So when you become smaller than an atom what is your body made up of?

First you would have to answer; what is an atom? Solid? Waves? Both? No one really knows. Until you know what an atom is we cannot discuss if it is possible to shrink atoms or not.

Ah the old until we know absolutely everything to know in the universe about everything we can't claim to know anything. Great way to dismiss ideas that contradict what you want to believe.

How could you ever debunk god that is just a boast. I answered you with god and you never replied. Other than saying you have debunked god somehow. Why would you even want to debunk god at all? God is the holder of all powers care to debunk that?

Through union with god all abundance and powers are obtained, this is done by the abandonment of false ego/seperation of god and that which sees. The mind of any being is the one who see's, the world of form is the object seen the way to disolve this illusion and be free from it is to simply know you are both the seer and seen!

Till All Are One!

Ah, but one can use the same reasoning with your firm beliefs in science being anything but.

Occam's Razor states that:

-in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better

, so by this reasoning; if we don't know what the atoms are made of, then we should not make the assumption that shrinking them are impossible.

The Siddhas are inhabitants of Siddhaloka, where the residents travel in space without vehicles. At their mere will they can pass from one planet to another without difficulty. Therefore, in the upper planets the inhabitants are far superior to the inhabitants of this planet in all matters of art, culture and science, since they possess brains superior to those of human beings. The spirits and jinn mentioned in this connection are also counted among the demigods because they are able to perform uncommon functions not possible for men.

We learn from the pages of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that the inhabitants of the planet called Siddhaloka can travel in space from one planet to another without impediment. They showered flowers on the earth when Lord Kapila, the son of Kardama, appeared.

The inhabitants of both Siddhaloka and Vidyādhara-loka are naturally endowed with mystic yogic powers by which they not only can fly in outer space without a vehicle but can also fly from one planet to another simply by exerting their will. Just as fish can swim within water, the residents of Vidyādhara-loka can swim in the ocean of air. As far as the inhabitants of Siddhaloka are concerned, they are endowed with all mystic powers. The yogīs in this planet practice the eightfold yogic mysticism—namely yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna and samādhi. By regularly practicing the yogic processes one after another, the yogīs attain various perfections; they can become smaller than the smallest, heavier than the heaviest, etc. They can even manufacture a planet, get whatever they like and control whatever man they want. All the residents of Siddhaloka are naturally endowed with these mystic yogic powers. It is certainly a very wonderful thing if we see a person on this planet flying in the sky without a vehicle, but in Vidyādhara-loka such flying is as commonplace as a bird's flying in the sky. Similarly, in Siddhaloka all the inhabitants are great yogīs, perfect in mystic powers.

2. Mahima:
Ability to assume a gigantic form ('Becoming larger than the largest' as described in Srimad Bhagavatam by Lord Krishna)

Example:

Hanuman assumed a huge form to burn Lanka, he also assumed big form to fight Kumbha Karna
In Vaamana avatar Lord Vishnu increased his form which was so gigantic that it only took him three steps to cover all three worlds

This one is one of my favorites not to mention a popular in Marvel (ant man) and DC comics(giganta)

The ability to become supermassive large enough to cross the universe in a single step I mean just wow.

In some of the old vedic battles some of the Asuras had this power and would scare the devas in fear that they might devour the entire earth, or even the three worlds!

Here is an interesting summarized story some of you may already know but has alot about ancient psychic super powers:

While Ravana proved to be aggressive and arrogant in nature during his youth, he was also an exemplary scholar. Under Vishrava's tutelage, Ravana mastered the Vedas and the holy books and also the arts. Sumali, his grandfather, worked hard in secret to ensure that he retained the ethics of the Daityas. Ravana was also devoted to the Hindu god Brahma. Following his initial training, he performed an intense penance lasting several thousand years to Lord Brahma. Pleased with his austere penance, Brahma offered Ravana a boon. Ravana asked for immortality, a request which Brahma refused. Ravana then asked for absolute invulnerability and supremacy before the gods and heavenly spirits, as well as the demons, serpents, and wild beasts. Contemptuous of mortal beings, Ravana did not ask for protection from humans. Brahma granted him these boons, and also provided him with great strength by way of sorcery and knowledge of divine weapons.

ConquestsAfter winning these boons, Ravana sought out his grandfather Sumali and assumed leadership over his army. He then set his sights upon Lanka, an idyllic island society created by the celestial architect Vishwakarma for Kubera, the treasurer of the Gods. Kubera was also the son of Vishrava, and had generously shared all that he owned with Kaikesi's children. Ravana, however, demanded Lanka in it's entirety from him, threatening to take it by force. Vishrava advised Kubera to give up the island to Ravana, who was now virtually invincible. Although Ravana initially took Lanka by force, he was nevertheless regarded as a benevolent and effective ruler since life on the island flourished under his rule.


Ravana lifting mount Kailash - Ellora Caves, MaharashtraFollowing his conquest of Lanka, Ravana encountered Lord Shiva at his abode upon Mount Kailash. Unknowingly, Ravana attempted to uproot and move the mountain on a whim. Shiva, annoyed by Ravana's arrogance, pressed his smallest toe on Kailash, pinning Ravana firmly underneath. Once Ravana was informed of whom he had crossed, he became penitent. For several years he sang songs praising Shiva, until the destroyer god released him from his bondage. Pleased with his bravery and devotion, Shiva granted Ravana further strength, awarding him the Chandrahas (or "Moon-blade"), an immensely powerful sword. Ravana in turn became a lifelong devotee of Lord Shiva. It is also during this incident that Ravana officially acquired his name, which was given to him by Shiva and means "(He) Of the terrifying roar," referring to the fact that the earth is said to have quaked with Ravana's cry of pain when the mountain was pinned upon him.

Ravana's abilities were by now truly awe-inspiring, and so he set out confidently on a series of campaigns to conquer human and celestial beings alike. After vanquishing several kingdoms of the human world, he performed the suitable sacrifices and was crowned emperor. Kubera at one point chastised Ravana for his cruelty and greed, to which Ravana responded by invading the heavens and defeating the devas, singling out his half-brother Kubera for particular humiliation. By the time of the Ramayana, several hundred years later, Ravana is shown as dominating all human and divine races, to the extent that he can dictate when the sun rises and sets.

Ravana's sister Surpanakha attempted to seduce Rama and Lakshmana while they were stationed here. The two brothers resisted her temptations, and mutilated her as punishment for her actions. When Surpanakha reported this to Ravana, a plan for revenge hatched in his mind. He sent to the forest a rakshasa disguised as a golden deer. Upon seeing the deer, both Rama and Lakshmana were lead off in its pursuit, while Sita stayed behind at the ashram unprotected. At this point, Ravana crept up on a vulnerable Sita and kidnapped her. The discovery of Sita's absence prompted Rama and Lakshmana to partake on a hazardous search to find her. Sita remained under the captivity of Ravana for one year, all the while protecting her chastity at all costs, completely unwavering in her resolve despite Ravana's courting, cajoling, and assorted threats.

Defeat at the Hands of Rama
Ramayana frescoAfter overcoming numerous arduous challenges, Rama entered into Lanka in order to confront Ravana and rescue his wife. Rama offered Ravana a final chance to make peace, suggesting that he immediately return Sita and apologize to both him and his wife. As a minister and brother of Ravana, Vibhishana also advised Ravana to return the kidnapped Sita. However, Ravana rejected these attempts to avoid battle, going so far as to banish his brother from his kingdom. Vibhishana immediately sought protection from Sri Rama, which was granted without hesitation, allowing him to become a great devotee of Rama; in turn, Rama was assisted by Vibhishana, whose knowledge of Ravana's proficiency with black magic and mystical weapons allowed Rama to gain a strategic advantage in the ensuing battle. On the battlefield, Rama slew the most powerful rakshasa commanders, along with hundreds of thousands of rakshasa soldiers, aided by the Vanaras, a race of monkey-men who fought alongside him. In an attempt to create divisions in Rama's ranks, Ravana convinced the Vanaras that Rama considered them to be no more than lowly, expendable animals. However, the faithful monkeys dismissed Ravana's claims and continued to fight.

With his rakshasas neutralized, Ravana was forced to square off against Rama. In their initial battle, Ravana was severely injured, and his chariot and weapons were destroyed. Due to this injury, Rama allowed Ravana to live and return to fight another day. In their next meeting, Ravana unleashed the full extent of his magical abilities while making full use of the boons given to him by Shiva and Brahma. After a drawn-out battle, Rama successfully decapitated Ravana's central head, but another promptly arose in its place. Rama went on to decapitate this head, only to find yet another growing in its place. This re-growth occurred because of a vessel of amrit, the nectar of immortality, which Ravana had stored in his stomach. This cycle of decapitation and regeneration continued on until twilight, when Ravana's magical powers became even more pronounced. At this point, Vibhishana informed Rama of why Ravana's heads were regenerating. Rama then invoked the brahmastra, a weapon of mass destruction, and fired the great arrow into Ravana's midsection, destroying the cache of amrit. With the amrit no longer in effect, Ravana met his demise and Sita was freed.

Lokas are not planets, they're realms.

The Patalas for example are lower realms, certainly not planets, this is the case in Buddhism too.

Yeah you may be correct in that.

I have also herd legends or stories of the asuras who have worlds of thier own which are vast and likened to the patalas or lower regions of the astral universe.

However in many legends the patala regions of the earth are below or underground.

Cant say I have a definate answer but sure is interesting.

In my opinion supernatural powers can give great bliss create any pleasure or anything desired. There are accounts of sages creating many things people places and even whole worlds with the power of the mind.

Before some of you dismiss yogic paranormal faculties with your usual ignorance and ideological prejudice, you should consider the following (that's if you can remove your blinkers for a day or two):
1. Bound states of basic subatomic particles remote-viewed over a century ago with the ancient yogic siddhi of anima compared with string models of subatomic particles published in peer-reviewed journals of theoretical physics and in high-energy physics conference journals:
smphillips.8m.com...
2. Populations of paranormally oberved basic particles (identified as subquarks making up the quarks in the protons and neutrons of atomic nuclei) compared with the mass numbers of the most abundant nuclide of each element whose atoms were claimed to be remote-viewed between 1895 and 1908:
smphillips.8m.com...
(mass numbers of nuclides were not even conceived when the remote-viewing was carried out, yet the correlation beween mass numbers and paranormally derived numbers of particles in nuclei is statistically significant).
3. Anticipations of scientific discoveries in atomic and nuclear physics made with anima many years before this knowledge became available:
smphillips.8m.com...
4. Discussion of all the history and issues behind a sustained application of a yogic siddhi to investigate the atomic world:
smphillips.8m.com...
5. Scientific analysis of observations made over a century ago with anima (free PDF download of book):
smphillips.8m.com...
(Three other publications describing this research in great detail are available from this website).
6. Hard, mathematical evidence that the Gosset polytope, known by mathematicians to determine the roots of the exceptional Lie group E8 central to heterotic superstring theory, embodies the structural parameters of the superstring observed with anima a century ago:
smphillips.8m.com...
7. Overwhelming evidence that reported features of the remote-viewed constituents of atomic nuclei conform to the universal patterns exhibited by sacred geometries of the world's religions:
smphillips.8m.com...

This work has been endorsed both publicly and privately by certain Fellows of the Royal Society, several Nobel Prize winners in physics, past presidents of the London Society for Psychical Research and by internationally known parapsychologists like Dean Radin and Hal Puthoff. You will find on the website linked to here stronger evidence for the existence of a certain type of ESP than you will encounter anywhere else. This is because no conventional explanation of the sort used by sceptics of the paranormal (e.g., chance or cheating) exists in the historical context of these investigations. Of course, you can continue to ignore such irrefutable evidence if you judge that it threatens your cosy, narrow world-view that allows only things to exist that can be explained by established scientific facts and ideas. But why not, for once, give truth a chance rather than simply what you would like to believe?

Bravo well said, I thank you for sharing and appreciate it very much.

It would be nice if our society embraced our more noble talents, however I dont expect too much that way im not very dissapointed.

I can imagine a world where these psychic things are not only encouraged but created in those who have no talent for them, much like the use of cell phones are, and how they are easily available for all.

I imagine a society able to see and through the power of the mind the atoms themselves and, travel to the infinate worlds of the atom with ease.

Perhaps someday just not today, I would give it a few thousand years before we are in another golden age of psychic power. I wouldnt mind living in such a magnificent place.

Very interesting , having asked about one of these before , here on ats. I will try to find the post I did.
This is good information.

I have had varying degrees of 3 of these states of being.

I have had an experience like the first mentioned , sitting on a lounge chair, everything , furniture , room , myself , became small , shrunk , it did not last long, just maybe a sensation?

When I was young, I had had enough at one stage, and went to bed one night and willed myself to die and the room spun and off I went and a woman/angel came and sent me back , I have been angry about that at times. sorry to make it short and sweet but it was quite an experience and one I have never forgot.
In a way it does not qualify as I had to come back.

The other one is much stranger as it involved other people who both reacted strongly , so I did not imagine it. And have asked about it on here in the hope that someone could tell what was going on , this is the first info I have seen .
That was something I feel i had no conscious control over.

this thread made think of BOC and this tune, don't know why.

I was gonna add this earlier but didn't for some reason, you are actually right, in some places they do seem to describe some of these realms as planets.
But I think that is mainly in Hinduism, while Buddhism from what I know describe them as planes/realms, some of which intersect, the animal kingdom for example would be considered a world but only in the way that it's percieved differently by animals than by humans.

What I find interesting is the description of the Patalas, they're described as even more beautiful than the heavens.

Vishnu Purana tells of a visit by the divine wandering sage Narada to Patala. Narada describes Patala as more beautiful than Svarga (heaven). Patala is described as filled with splendid jewels, beautiful groves and lakes and lovely demon maidens. Sweet fragrance is in the air and is fused with sweet music. The soil here is white, black, purple, sandy, yellow, stony and also of gold.

The Bhagavata Purana calls the seven lower regions bila-svargas ("subterranean heavens") and they are regarded as planets or planetary systems below the earth. These regions are described as being more opulent than the upper regions of the universe, which include heaven.

This is my favorite, and my kind of place:

When a man enters Atala, these women enchant him and serve him an intoxicating cannabis drink that induces sexual energy in the man. Then, these women enjoy sexual play with the traveller, who feels to be stronger than ten thousand elephants and forgets impending death.

Though I don't know if it's supposed to be implied that this impending death is the work of these women. In that case the place seems rather treacherous, though, from the general descriptions none of the Patalas seem to be places of evil.

On a side note, Nagas are said to live in one or more of the Patalas, and they're essentially humanoid reptilians. What if the abduction literature is right?

Maybe a little bit off-topic, but it's interesting stuff.

And, great stuff micpsi. I've visited that site before but the science is way over my head, I have had it bookmarked for years, maybe I'll delve into it seriously some day. Nonetheless, it's very impressive.

Nice stuff there and some good info for us spiritual researchers to consider.

I have often considered that the Patalas are just as the heavens yet more warlike. There are many legends and stories of the asuras who are no different than the gods but occupy a lower region of the astral cosmos under the rule or dominion of the gods or suras.

According to legends they often overthrow the gods and are sometimes more noble or virtuous than thier divine heavenly counterparts.

That being said they refuse to stop warring with the heavenly gods and the heavenly gods too will not allow them to quit fighting for the balance of the universe would be swayed in the direction of non existance or perpetual heaven which in my opinion would actually be a good thing.

The universe is said to have various realms likened to perpetually larger steps of a ladder.

The steps are physical fleshy earthly type existances astral light body or divine beings and casual beings of cosmic ideas.

The asuras being astral light bodied beings have thier universes which are said to be much larger and awe inspiring than our human realms, and only through the abandonment of the infinate desires in these realms which are far beyond human imagination is progression possible into the next heavenly astral realms.

There are said to be many levels of progressions each with its own sets of desires which must be abandonded to incarnate into a higher realm.

Above the asura realms is said to be the peace of heavenly realms and the astral light bodied beings who incarnate there are said to have a greater natural ability to manipulate matter time and space than thier asura counterparts.

And above the astral heavenly realms is said to be the cosmic casual where beings are said to create entire universes at thier slightest thought. These realms also have thier various desires and must be given up to ascend to becoming truly merged in cosmic unity and the form of the universe itself is obtained, meaning beyond anything known or unknown.

However even on reaching this final state of putting on the form of infinate universes embodyment can still be made to happen due to desire of others or ripened karma.

A good example of this is Vishnu who is always incarnating as various animals, monstrous beings, dwarfs, and humans. This is always due to some curse or karma by a sage, devoted beings wishing to marry god, or other karmic desire by some force in the manifested universe. Even after being beyond the casual and putting on the form of the universe Vishnu is still made to take on very limited and undesireable forms and suffer pain and humilation in these forms.

One example of this is the Rama incarnation which he ruled the earth for 11,000 years.
He was kicked out of his kingdom made to live in the harsh forests, subside on roots and hunt animals, wear bark and leaves as clothing, out of delusion not seeing demons desguised as deer chasing them, then his wife was taken away by the three universes or physical astral and casual ruling demon known as Ravana. Eventually with help he was able to slay the demon but was still subject to humilation from his people during his 11,000 year rule over the earth forcing his wife to live in exile with his two sons LAV and Kush.
Finally his wife Sita went to the patala regions of the earth never to be herd of again.

Very strange how it all works out, I reflect on this story and see Sita went to the patala regions and was said to be born from there I doubt it is all bad in comparison to the surface world we see on our earth today.

That's one of the coolest songs ever! That really brings back some memories. The animated film Heavy Metal used that song. I had that soundtrack on vinyl and wore it out.

What I've always pictured when I heard that song was a soldier of some sort that used his psychic abilities as part of his job. The more those psi abilities are used, the greater the physical impact on the brain. The psyche would soon follow.

I also think that it's possibly not that great of a gift to have anyway. So the torment and battle fatigue is also due to having to fight to control the power. Sometimes you can get too much of a good thing, and you have to figure out how to turn it off from time to time.

For those interested: Vereran of the Psychic Wars is related to the Michael Moorcock myth of the Eternal Champion.

I have had a Mahima experience in a dream once that I can remember. Very interesting indeed to begin to grow in size like the marvel character ant man. It was an interesting dream to say the least.

So I was reading up on some of the ancient vedic wars and some of the super powers they used and found this interesting story about a mountainous massive giant named Raktabija who was able to duplicate himself from every drop of blood. Meaning if he had a drop of blood on the ground it would become another massive mountain sized giant holding all the super powers he had. Sounds pretty scary right. So eventually he was able to fill the entire known world/worlds with his massive forms becoming like agent smith of the matrix.






It happened once, that the world was threatened by the Asuras (demons). The demons rallied together to overthrow the gods and gain control of the three worlds or Physical universes/ the Astral universes/ the Casual universes. The leader of this uprising was Raktabija, the demon-general.

Through the practice of austerities, Raktabija was granted a boon. This boon, granted by Brahma, allowed Raktabija's power to increase by a thousand every time a drop of his blood was spilled.

The demon soldiers, led by Raktabija, came forth and the gods trembled with outrage. The demons ravaged the three worlds/universes and thier inhabitants. Who would rid the worlds of this monster? In desperation the gods turned to their shakti (female energy) counterparts. The great and beautiful goddess Durga stepped forward. She had protected them before and was obliged to do it again.

Armed with the weapons of the gods, Durga rode into battle on a tiger, her champion mount. She embodied the powers of all the gods and created an army of inumerable goddess forms during battle, slaying demonic gods as quickly as they advanced until all that remained was the demon-general.

The battle between Raktabija and the Devi ensued. Durga hurled thunderbolts, struck him with trident, and used every power known to the gods on the asura again and again; Raktabija's blood spilled everywhere. From each drop of blood millions of more demons like him sprang up filling up the universes. Full armies arose from the puddles of Raktabija's blood. Demons advanced on the goddess by the millions until they reached an infinate number pervading all the worlds. They rode on elephants and horse drawn chariots. They laughed and shouted at the goddess' dilemma.

Upon seeing this, Durga became enraged. She knitted her brows in absolute fury. From this concentration came Kali, the Terrible One.

All the universes shook with the thundering roar of this powerfully terrible goddess. Those demons who stood nearest the mighty Devi were consumed within the roaring rage of energy.

Kali emerged from the brow of the goddess. Her skin was of the deepest black, she was a massive collosal giant, large enough to hurl mountains with ease or even devour the planet if she so desired to do so, she held a noose, and the sword of Vengeance. She the massive giantess appeared most frightening her with her blood red eyes,sunken deep into her skull, wild with raw power anxious to be unleashed and a third eye flaming brilliantly from her forehead. Her entangled black hair blew wildly about Her shoulders.

She turned her furious gaze upon the demon armies, half fell lifeless from the deadly grip of Her stare. She let out a loud and petrifying shriek and more fell dead to the ground at Kali's feet. With wild cackling, She advanced on Her enemies. She reached out with her claw-like hands and shoveled some of the remaining giant demons into her gaping mouth as though they were as grains of sand to her.

The rest turned away in fear of this ferocious Devi. The skies were filled with the sound of Her shrieking laughter as she pervaded it with her massive size. But Kali didn't stop at that. She stretched out Her bright red tongue and swallowed all of the giant demonic gods sized elephants and their mountainous riders as they tried to run. The collosal celestrial horse drawn chariots disappeared with another mouthful into the abyss of Dark Goddess.

With his armies fully destroyed, again the great Devi faced off with Raktabija. All of the goddess forms attacked and pierced the demons known as raktabija as Kali quickly sucked in all of the blood like a black hole caught the flowing blood wherever it fell in the three worlds, she sucked in not only the blood of that demon but also countless asura giants. The life energy of Rakatibija flowed out with his dripping blood like divers all around being enveloped by the goddess as the other goddesses continued thier attacks. He was helpless in the face of this terrifying goddess.

Finally, drunken with the blood of victory, the demon-general's corpse laid lifeless.
