In the evening, I finish reading Powerless. When I closed the document and went to the e-reader's home screen, it displayed the book I had most recently added to my library, one I had downloaded shortly after the levitation sync in "Levitation, October 3, Ed Sullivan, and that scene in Communion" (May 30).
The book is called They Flew: A History of the Impossible, by Carlos Eire.

William,
Thank you for posting this. I googled the book,
and on the cover illustration
is exactly how I levitated in my lifetime of levitation dreams,
not the Linda Blair floating in the 1973 movie the Exorcist
type floating or like the image of the woman
in your Levitation post.
In my dreams it's not the same. I also don't fly
like a bird in the dreams. I've now come to believe
it's Vril energy.
Although I'm not a Rapture believer per se,'
but what's also odd,( and I've never shared this
( recall that I've said many times that I've only shared
a very small bit of my paranormal
experiences ).... the 1974 Past Life reader also told me this:
He said: 'in every incarnation your physical body is never found.'
I don't recall why or what he said about that.
I didn't ask him any questions.
He recorded the reading on a cassette tape, but I lost
the tape many many years ago.
I found a very interesting article about the book,
copy and paste:
"....giving rise to the legend of the “Lady in Blue”
(on account of the blue cloak that was part of
María’s Franciscan habit).
María was an “avatar of the impossible.”
~~~~~~~
The Lady in Blue reference reminded me of
the blue-green syncs a couple of years ago
with Lady Luck. Recall I sent you a photo
of my blue-green coat and my odd experience
at Dorthy Lane Market in the Deli department
in Dayton and another woman also wearing
green. That happened at Easter, I think it was 2024 or
so.
Also in the article about the book,
I found this about Joseph of Cupertino interesting :
"Most of his levitations
occurred while he celebrated Mass,
most often during the consecration of the elements.
His flights were often accompanied by ****loud screams***
and shouts, an exception to the general rule.
When indoors,****the height of his elevation
was limited only by the ceiling. ****
Outdoors, he would **** ascend to the treetops."
~~~~~~~~
Recall your dream about me in your post:
'Truth lies within violence like a scream.'
Even though most people would associate screams
and violence as an evil thing, I never thought
that connection as far as to the meaning of your dream.
I've had many dreams of levitating inside and outside
and of course the outside dreams of levitating to
the treetops felt the most 'freeing' . Inside there
are too many barriers and many of those dreams
I found myself levitating out of windows trying
to get outside.
Thank you so much for posting this William.
It's now in my Amazon cart. I can't wait
to read it.

Just now I was in a coffee shop that had a few purely decorative English books on a shelf behind the counter. One of these was Charles Darwin's book The Descent of Man, but it, alone among these books, was shelved upside down.
Inverted, the descent of man becomes the ascent of man, or levitation.
William,
This?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ascent_of_Man
When it comes to syncs, it seems to me, what often matters is less the content than the form. Syncs themselves tend to be more interesting than what they seem to be about. I think this one, however, is pretty lame as pertains to both form and content-- and that may well be the meaning thereof.
Form: A boy says it's impossible to fly. (Good lad! He's got a head on his shoulders.) Then the next book that William had acquired for his kindle came up: "It's Possible to Fly", by Airy Carl. Then William was at a café (infinitely recyclable scenario) where Darwin's Descent of Man was inverted, ergo...
Content: Even supposing that a few hundred people tops have levitated for a few minutes apiece-- a highly unlikely scenario in any case-- who cares? It really isn't a very interesting phenomenon. It just isn't. Wasn't the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi supposed to have levitated for a few minutes, even a few hundred minutes in the course of his life, and weren't some people interested in that? Who cares?
This stems from that photo that came up? That photo is fake. Now it has an intriguing, even beautiful quality to it, but it is "desart"-- it is "des art", of art, of artifice. It was taken in the twenty-teens at the earliest, yet it looks like it was from a hundred years ago. Again, you'll do yourself a favor if you imagine that that divination wasn't about levitation, but rather levite-ation, the making of a priest.
What a strange comment! Of course it's interesting if something seemingly impossible may have actually happened. Much more interesting than the Levites and their dreary religion of animal sacrifice, at least to me.
There's some French joke about being a Marxist of the Groucho variety. If I were a Levite, it would be of the Eliphas variety.
Not that I have anything against Levites as such. Both my favorite professor and one of my favorite singers come from that lineage.
William, I thought I was obviously using "levite" figuratively as a type of the cleric or priest. Ultimately, upright levites and clerics and priests care about their flock much more than they do about the "super"-natural or the "para"-normal.
What about syncs? Aren't they "para"-normal? Well, with you and your circle, they don't seem to be all that "para"-normal. In any case, paranormal or no, they're just a fact.
But levitation? No. It's not a fact. Neither you nor anyone in your circle is doing it or ever will do it, and even if you did for a few minutes, even a few hundred minutes in the course of your life-- so what? But really, I rest my case on the fact it ain't gonna happen.
Now, I ask you again: wasn't the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi reputed to have levitated for perhaps as many as a few hundred minutes in the course of his life? And do you find the Maharishi to be an interesting figure for that reason?
But I am interested in the paranormal and neither have nor desire a "flock," so perhaps these aren't the droids you're looking for.
I know next to nothing about the Maharishi. As a Mormon, I of course take levitation seriously in principle, but that doesn't mean assuming every claim of levitation is legit.
To tie the two interpretations together, the music video for "Happens to the Heart" by Leonard Cohen (Cohens being a subset of Levites) ends with a monk levitating.
"I know next to nothing about the Maharishi."
But you do know that he is reputed to have levitated-- in fact, he is the one whose reputation for levitation is greater than any modern figure-- and if you have a principled interest in levitation then you ought by right to be interested in him and his levitating.
[Steve Carell face]
You know what? I'm gonna start not caring about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi even harder.
Wade,
I have never said that I have the ability to levitate
in my physical body.
I do not.
But just because I haven't experienced levitation personally
in my physical body in this incarnation
doesn't mean that levitation is not a fact.
Do I believe that my soul has gain the siddhis powers
in other lifetimes? I absolutely do. Levitation
is a siddhis power which I've come to believe is accomplished
through Vril energy. I think Lhasa was built by
Vril energy and sound. Perhaps from chanting
and/or a Didgeridoo, a horn instrument.(s).
Can you 'prove' that Lhasa wasn't built by Vril energy?
It certainly is a fact that it does exist. Same
can be said about the Mounds in North America
and the Pyramids in South America and Egypt.
and the Easter Island Moai to name a few.
How were they built, and can you PROVE that?
I don't know if you've read any of my comments, but I have
shared that I've had a lifetime of paranormal experiences, dreams
( many premonition ) telepathy, remote viewing, clairvoyance and
clairaudience and there is nobody who can convince me that the
paranormal is not a fact.
And I'm not the only one who has had paranormal experiences
including dreams ( premonition ) and synchronicities.
I personally believe that we all have that ability to transcend
space and time and we do so every night in REM.
I had a dream in 1990 that came tragically true in 1995.
Someone that I didn't even know in 1990 ,but met
in 1993 when hubby and I bought our house. She
was killed tragically and I saw from her perspective
of the exact event that happen, although in 1990,
I saw what she should have done to avoid the accident
but she didn't, she did the exact opposite and the
semi- truck driver's deposition in a lawsuit
from the company who was being
sued by the husband of the woman who was killed, is
a matter of record.
I actually sent William a link to that deposition
which is online. I asked William
to not share it because of privacy concerns.
Can I 'prove' to anyone else who doesn't know me
that I had a premonition/remote viewing
of the tragedy in 1990? Of course not. My hubby knows
and my best friend and family members knew of
the dream as I told them at the time I had the dream
in 1990
because it was so disturbing to me.
If we haven't experienced something ourselves,
than it's just a belief, a strong belief perhaps but
a belief nevertheless. It we experience
something personally then it becomes our truth.
My truth may not be the same as yours ( and vice
versa ) because we haven't had the same experiences,
but it doesn't mean that my truth nor yours doesn't exist
and is not a fact.
If you think that humans can't see five years into
the future, or communicate
telepathically with someone thousands of
miles away, in another space and time,
I humbly beg to differ.
I personally believe that we are more than our physical
bodies and believing that,
and IMHO the possibilities are endless.

Wade,
I just want to add (and I've shared this many times
on William's blog,)that my levitation dreams started
when I was 10 years old in 1965. The levitation
dreams are recurring to this current day, although
not as often.
In the 1990 dream I shared, I was actually levitating
in that dream.
Fast forward from 1965 to 1974 and while looking
in the classified section of the Dayton Daily News,
I saw a small ad for a Past life Reading.
I was actually looking for job opportunities. I was 19.
Because of the recurring levitation dreams and
being a Pisces, I was very intrigued with Edgar Cayce's
work in my late teen age years
so I answered the ad. I found a couple of
Cayce's paperback books in an old bookstore in Dayton.
The reader did not know me
nor did I know him. I sat by a door, he sat by a window.
He told me to take off one of my shoes and show
him the bottom of my foot.
He told me that
I had a past life in Tibet as a Monk, which I believed
that immediately because I have always been attracted
to that part of the world after seeing a group of young
Chinese girl's acrobatic performance on Ed Sullivan
TV show at about 7 years old.
I've never been overseas, nor did I know any
Asian people growing up.
The reader then said; ' I see you in Atlantis.
You are being taken to be sacrificed. You are able to break
free and you started running. There were several
White men in white robes chasing you. All of a sudden,
the past reader said, you just took off and started
levitating. He gestured his hands upward to show the upward
movement.
I WAS SHOCKED and started crying and shaking because
that was EXACTLY what happened in my recurring dreams
and there is no way he would have known that.
He didn't know me nor I him. I randomly answered an ad.
He told me several other things that I've shared
with William personally and on his blog.
I've had many many levitation dreams since
age 10 after my maternal grandmother died.
My sister and I saw her spirit the night she
died.
I didn't then and I do not now believe in coincidences.
William,
Here's copy and paste about Siddhis from wiki although
I personally dislike the term 'magic' as I believe
magic best describes the Sacred Knowledge
that has been manipulated in some way. Example
being Black Magic or Vodou.
"In Tantric Buddhism, siddhi specifically
refers to the acquisition of supernatural powers
by psychic or magical means or the supposed faculty
so acquired.
These powers include items such as
clairvoyance, levitation, bilocation and astral projection,
materialization, and having access to memories from past lives."
