Aha, expanded

Hehe, even more explanation.  China asked a question in the comments that triggered some deeper understanding on my part.  She said:

What about if when a meditative state is achieved such that one forgets that gravity exists, and that there are such things as “physics” or any other limitations that are supposed to apply…if one really gets into the zone…it’s easy to forget about those things…

I don’t think I’ve ever levitated…but when I do a 40+ minute sit, I often lose my sense of body. It’s a little unnerving when it first happens and there is the natural slant to “hold onto the body” which would prevent that floaty thing from happing.

But once I got used to it happening, neat things happen on the other side of attachment.

and I responded:

I’m going to focus on China’s questions since that is the level at which I’m looking at this. Sue Ann, you may be right, but it isn’t the level that I’m comprehending right now, so I don’t really have much to say about it.

China, I’ve been thinking about this a bit, and perhaps this will make some sense. I believe that, yes, the mind needs to suspend disbelief and accept other possibilities for levitation or other skills develop. I don’t mean to discount that element. However, I don’t believe it explains how something happens, just makes it easier to happen.

However, I see no reason for the most basic laws of newton to be incorrect on any level. I believe that a force of some kind is needed for motion. That means, the force of gravity needs to be balanced and then overcome by some other force. Gravity doesn’t just ‘turn off’. Perhaps I’m limiting myself by this, but I don’t think so. But, I’m not limiting myself to the standard forces when saying gravity has to be balanced. If there is an unnamed force that we can’t easily detect, yet is power at the higher dimensions, then there is no violation. Our problem is that, looking only in 3 dimensions we are not taking into account the whole system - quite simply because we can’t. As 3 dimensional beings, we can’t detect higher dimensions without transcending these 3 dimensions. I believe that can be done on the astral, for lack of a better explanation. I’m not talking about lower level astral stuff, but higher levels or vibration states.

Now, what I’m thinking, to get back to the situation at hand is that, when we meditate and we reach a higher vibrational state, we are tapping into higher dimensions also. Then, when we set our intention to do something - say, levitate - our intention is activating on all levels, including higher dimensions. Therefore, we have made something happen that we can’t actually detect except to the extent that it manifests in our 3 dimensional world. Hence, we levitate. Yet since we didn’t see what happened at the higher dimensions, we think it’s magic, or it violates physics. But that simply isn’t true.  Physics just looks violated because we’re looking at a small part.  We aren’t looking at the whole system.  And that is very important.
