QUESTION: Hi

Is it possible to learn how to levitate?
Is it at all possible to hover over the ground? If so, how can one do it?

ANSWER: I don't know if it's possible to levitate. Staying on the ground is perfectly OK almost all the time. If you need to fly sometimes, taking an airplane works fine.

It's 10,000 times better to just try to understand yourself and help other people. What are you? What are you doing right now? If you're hungry, eat; if someone else is hungry, give them food. That's all. If you want to levitate, or if you want anything else, that's a problem.

QUESTION: I'm asking this question cause I saw a guy on tv who was holding a stick with one of his hands and all his body was up in the air. He said he learnt how to levitate from the Indian Yogis. I don't know if this was a fake or not, but looked interesting.

Answer
I'm assuming that this stick this guy was holding was touching the ground. So if the stick was somehow firmly attached to the ground, and it was attached to some other apparatus hidden in the guy's clothes, that could create the illusion of levitation.

Sweet Jesus, think about it. If he could really levitate, why did he just happen to need this magical stick?

Anyway, forget about all that. Throw away the desire to levitate, and throw away "I want" anything. Only try to understand your true self, and help other beings.
