Freak Season

Master magician Criss Angel begun season three of “MindFreak” with an episode that was not one thing short of spectacular.

In this episode, his goal was to levitate 500 feet in regards to the ground, above the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. At the top of the Luxor’s pyramid-shaped building is a light beam that shoot up into space — in fact, it’s the only man-made object (besides the Great Wall of China) that may be seen from space. This light beam is hot — 800 degrees Fahrenheit! This devised another dangerous dimension to this demonstration: If he fell into the light, he would surely be burned to death.

Is this actually mind over matter? Is it illusion? Or may Criss Angel actually levitate? And if he may levitate, may I learn to do that? What would it take? Can he line his psych himself up in such a way so as to defy the law of gravity? Can energetic thought genuinely uphold a person? What would those thoughts be? Can I think those thoughts?

Above him was a helicopter filming him. Below him, persons in the streets captured the scene on their cameras. All around him in Las Vegas, on the streets and on their hotel room balconies, persons witnessed him drifting above the brilliant light of the Luxor’s pyramid.

“Criss Angel MindFreak” earned critical acclaim in it is original two seasons, and delivered the greatest ratings numbers in A&E’s history. Criss demonstrates in each episode his visionary approach to his new breed of progressed mysticism, giving homage to but going far beyond the confines of established magic.

In this episode, as he prepared to float above the lighted pyramid, he closed his eyes and took long, deep breaths, and seemed to go into a trance. At the last moment, he prayed to Jesus to keep him safe. His signature necklace of crosses and handcuffs seem to suggest he is a “slave” to Christ, even though there’s a lot of buzz amidst Christians on respective forums that he’s the anti-Christ. Intense stuff there — he may walk on water, float through the air, make things vanish and appear, cut persons in half, etc., etc. Maybe he has some beauteous high connections …

But it’s the possibleness of levitation itself that has my attention. Although I may be altogether naive to think that it’s anything more than an illusion that he’s engineered. Still, as I investigate the Internet, I haven’t found a logical comprehensible statement for his achievement.

There is a great deal of info in regards to how an individual may appear to levitate a foot or two off the ground, but not 500 feet off the ground. Perhaps his crew built galore kind of see-through platform up on top of the pyramid that couldn’t be seen from the streets. But may an individual in truth learn to levitate? That’s what I want to know.

In Buddhism, it is believed that a person may reach a altogether focalized state of mind and learn to levitate. There are accounts of this phenomena happening in parts of Asia. Additionally, there are reported to be tribes in Africa and South America that exercise magical acts, such as levitation. There have even been reports of African tribal inhabitants lifting themselves, along with physical possessions, such as cows!

“If your thoughts are earthbound, so will be your body. If your thoughts are spiritbound, so will be your body,” their website says.

It’s interesting to think in regards to what the humane brain may achieve. If it’s the kind of subject you’re mesmerized in, a little surfing will turn up a large total of selective information on the Internet, and there are books available on the subject at Amazon.com, as well. Happy trails!
