A fire walker. Free of pain by controlling his mental state.
A blind man able to create maps in his mind by using the power of sound.
And a plane crashed deep in the jungle where a single survivor was guided by an
inner voice.
The human mind.
It is the home of all our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and memories.
The organ we call the brain not only keeps us alive, it allows us to
and experience the incredible world we live in.
But are there people who are wired differently than most of us?
Can unique circumstances permit some to tap into extrasensory abilities that
defy nature?
Or do we all have extraordinary mental skills that can come to our rescue with
power that we never knew we possessed?
Well, that is what we'll try and find out.
San Pedro Manrique, Spain, June 23, 2018.
Here, as they have for centuries, villagers gather for an evening festival
celebrate the summer solstice.
They engage in singing, dancing, wearing elaborate costumes.
But for a select group of villagers, the festivities aren't so
conventional.
Because their evening also includes something out of the ordinary.
A dangerous walk over fire.
Now, I've seen many fire -working rituals in many different contexts in a
variety of countries.
But I've never seen a fire as fierce as the one in San Pedro.
This is by far the most important event in the life of this community.
They have this amphitheater around the...
the place where the actual fire is, then these men walk on the embers. It's
five or six steps from one side to the other, and they do it carefully, and
usually carrying someone on their shoulder.
People often wonder, is the firewalk really hot?
And the answer is yes, once the wood is first laid out.
the overall temperature is between 1 ,000 and 1 ,200 degrees.
That's really hot, more than enough to burn flesh, certainly.
So imagine a carpet that is 20 feet across and several inches deep,
and it's burning at a temperature that is hot enough to melt aluminum.
If you look at the temperatures involved...
You're typically talking temperatures over 1 ,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and skin
burns at 100, 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Walking on fire is very, very dangerous.
I mean, you're barefoot, there's one wrong move, and you can be severely
People ask me all the time whether fire walkers have any kind of special trick,
whether they're some kind of special drug that prevents them from feeling
or getting burned.
The answer to all of these is no.
There's no special trick.
Walking on fire and at temperatures hot enough to turn metal into liquid.
No one in their right mind would do this and expect to emerge unharmed, right?
And yet, the people of San Pedro and Enrique managed to do just that and on a
yearly basis.
But how?
Walking across hot embers is one of my favorite physics problems.
The trick is making sure the embers are hot enough that you actually get a very
thin but very real layer of water vapor between your skin and the hot coals.
Some of these same fire walkers, one day they walk across unscathed, another
time they try it, they do burn their feet.
Their mindset.
So at my firewalks, once we've taken the group out to the fire and we're getting
ready to walk, first I like to remind them again about their intention.
And this helps motivate them and get them across.
And then we raise people's energy before a firewalk.
Firewalkers around the world, regardless of tradition, religion, they raise the
group's energy.
before they walk. This can be done with meditation, chanting, singing,
dancing. Whatever the case, you want to get your group into an excited, pumped
-up state before the fire walk. There is absolutely something about being in an
excited, uplifted state that helps you get across safely.
So what actually happens there psychologically is there is this
buildup. There is this highly intense arousal that's happening. And so you
cortisol and other sort of endocrine hormones flooding the system, which will
help to block some of the pain receptors.
Water vapor.
Mind control.
But can firewalking without pain or injury really be just a simple matter of
willpower?
Or does it require something even more?
We know we have the capability to redirect pain or even to numb pain just
putting ourselves in the right mindset.
But many of these firewalkers don't even have blisters or burns on their feet.
So when you look at physics, that's impossible.
If you touch something that's hot, you're going to get burned.
So the question is, are we dealing with the magical force that we have yet to
fully understand?
So in one study with the San Pedro Hispanic Firewalking Ritual, a team of
anthropologists were curious, what happens to a person's heart rate for the
individual who's actually walking and for any individual who is close to them,
like a relative or a family member?
For this study, my colleagues and I went to San Pedro and used some devices that
collected heart rate data.
And we placed those devices not only on the fireworkers themselves, but also
members of the audience.
And what we found is that the ritual itself created an astonishing level of
synchrony in the heart rates of the participants.
The surprising part is that you will still have a state of physiology that's
similar to the individual, as if you are walking with the cold, when in fact, of
course, you're not.
It is so much more than just an individual ritual. It is a community
Yes, it is technically possible to cross a coal bed unharmed all by yourself,
but it is much easier.
to experience a firewalk surrounded by people who are there to support you,
family, your community.
Crossing barefoot over thousand -degree coals doesn't make any practical sense.
And even though I've personally crossed hundreds and hundreds of coal beds, I
still don't perfectly understand how and why it works like it does.
The ability to walk barefoot over open flames and end up unharmed might be a
perfect example of mind over matter.
While it's clear that the human brain is capable of shielding us from pain while
under stress, can the same be said if we lose one of our senses?
Perhaps clues can be found in the story of a young boy who was born blind and
developed the ability to see.
using the power of sound.
Hacienda Heights, California, 1968.
Two -year -old Daniel Kish, just one year after having both eyes removed due
cancer, sneaks out of his crib to explore his family's backyard.
Far from being fearful or afraid, Daniel is as confident as he is curious.
Because... At just two years old, he has developed an ability called
echolocation, which allows him to see by using his ears.
For those of us that study sensory systems, Daniel Kish is a rock star.
He is clearly the most studied human that actively echolocates.
So he will emit sounds himself.
These sounds will go and bounce off objects and come back to his own ears.
And these noises provide him information on distance to a target, what that
target might actually be, how dense it is, how light it might be, its shape.
I've been able to echolocate for as long as I can remember. And for me, it was
as natural as breathing.
It was just my way of seeing.
I didn't really know it was echolocation per se.
I just knew that I was aware of my surroundings and that I could function
that awareness.
It was just sort of part of the process of learning to see, which is very much
what sighted kids actually do as they begin to calibrate their vision.
After that, it was just sort of normal. It was just a matter of course to click
and scan and find things and not really be afraid of what was out there.
For most of us, if you've ever had any experience with echolocation, it's
probably when you've been told about how bats work, right?
Bats emit a sound. The sound bounces off objects and then comes back to them. So
they can actually determine how far away an object is, what its size and shape
may be, and so forth.
And what Daniel's done is he's taken this idea and basically turned it into
something that humans can actually use.
Without ultrasonic hearing, without all of the advantages that bats have
evolved, humans are somehow able to do this, and relatively easily.
So, how?
Why?
I believe that we can do this because we always have.
We've been doing it since man was prey and not predator, since we had to hide
the dark. So we don't have to develop these systems from scratch. All we have
do is turn them on.
By making clicking sounds and then listening to how those sounds
what's around him, Daniel is able to create a virtual picture of his
surroundings with astonishing accuracy.
Neurobiologically, I think this speaks to something that we call sensory
substitution, that his visual cortex has been appropriated, if you like,
because it's not receiving visual information.
Daniel's rare ability has made him the world's foremost echolocator. But there
are some in the scientific community who question the extraordinary nature of
Daniel's ability.
They argue that it's more likely that Daniel is simply making lucky guesses
he claims to sense his environment.
But for Daniel, there's no question.
He sees a map in his mind.
And what's more?
He can prove it.
Even though he's never seen, he's clearly using his echolocation skills to
construct some sort of map of the visual world, although he doesn't have any
experience with the visual world the way someone that's sighted does.
When I visit a new place, I basically just look around.
And for me, that involves, of course, using my sense of echolocation to scope
out the environment.
I start out with...
What's most distinctive? What stands out?
What's most unique?
What seems to define the space?
Essentially, it resolves into what I call three -dimensional fuzzy geometry.
all of these features sort of coalesce into an actual image.
Mapping it is part of the process.
Drawing is a way of sharing.
what my relationship with the environment is.
It's a way of giving people a peek into my head.
So you've got a house here, that's the most relevant feature.
There's a parked vehicle of some kind there, and then trees.
And then just as I got to about here, I was able immediately to tell, okay,
this has got to be some sort of a patio area or maybe a grotto.
And then as I rounded the area, this tree line became very obvious that
one edge of the garden.
Daniel often says that, you know, he can see these things in his mind. And
skeptics would say, oh, that's impossible.
He must be hearing sounds or just making calculations and guesses that just
happen to be true. But he's actually able to prove it.
He's actually able to draw what he sees in his mind.
And it's accurate.
I am a person who is naturally curious.
I've been an explorer since I got out of my crib and started wandering around.
It didn't really occur to me that, oh, but wait, I no longer have eyes.
My interest is in understanding the world, knowing about the world and
sharing whatever it is I think I've learned about the world.
with others to the extent that others may benefit from that.
It's not about seeing or not seeing.
It's about knowing.
It's about understanding, and it's about sharing.
Daniel's incredible ability to make his way through the world is truly a sight
to behold.
But how did he unlock such an unusual and powerful sensory ability?
Perhaps clues can be found in the stories of ordinary people.
who experienced traumatic events and saved lives by tapping into a superhuman
strength.
Melbourne, Australia, August 1st, 2013.
High above the city, 22 -year -old Brad Guy is excited to make his first
skydiving jump.
The self -professed adrenaline junkie wants to push the limits.
But he'll soon find that this is going to be...
The fall of his life.
I was given the opportunity to choose which height I wanted to jump from, and
decided to go as high as possible, which was 15 ,000 feet. Very high.
So my tandem instructor ran me through how it would feel to jump and what I
to do to ensure maximum safety.
Then he asked me if I had any final questions.
I think because I was so nervous, I made the joke saying, I hope my parachute
opens.
I remember when that rickety door of the aircraft opened and my instructor just
edging me closer and closer, I was so terrified.
And eventually my instructor said, three, two, one, jump, and he pushed us
I was moving so fast that I couldn't even comprehend.
Just that four, five, seven seconds of free fall, it's totally euphoric.
It's indescribable.
It's kind of like magic.
When a skydiver jumps out of a plane, they're accelerated by gravity at a rate
of 32 feet per second per second. His speed would have been upwards over 100
miles per hour.
Brad skydives an even greater thrill than he expected.
But as he and his instructor plunge toward the ground, something goes
awry.
There just was this point when, as we're falling, I was expecting a thrust of a
parachute to come as per the safety instructions, and it never came.
I felt a bit of a thrust from a parachute, but it wasn't enough to slow
And that's when I noticed that the first parachute, it's been deployed, but it
hasn't opened.
And the emergency parachute got stuck in the original parachute.
And because they're tangled together, we're not slowing down.
We were tumbling towards the ground from 15 ,000 feet.
I start freaking out. I'm really panicking. All I could really see was
getting closer and closer.
And I knew I was going to hit the ground and die.
The impact just smashed through my body.
It really didn't feel like a fall. It almost felt like the earth just came and
hit me.
And when I hit the ground, I'm still strapped to my instructor.
He's unconscious.
Eventually, he did come to.
We were just strapped to each other, screaming.
I remember I was just hysterically crying, so confused, having no idea what
happened, partially still thinking that I was actually dead.
Against all odds, the two men survive a fall of nearly three miles.
Brad and his instructor are rushed to the hospital.
where they both begin a long and miraculous recovery.
My physical injuries, I broke my upper spine, fractured my lower spine, tore
ligaments in my neck, cracked and bruised ribs, mild head concussion.
I had suspected that I was a quadriplegic. I was numb from the neck
took me a long time to feel my body again.
You would think that after all these years and all the time I've had to
on it, that I would be able to look at the situation and seriously ask myself,
was this luck or is it just all the odds been in my favor on a particular day?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I would love to know.
Sometimes when humans face extreme danger, the normal parts of our
brain kind of get pushed aside and the sympathetic nervous system kicks in and
can institute an adrenaline rush into the body, which can do some amazing
things. It forces blood into the muscles and pumps them up and becomes hard to
strengthen and protect your skeletal system and connective tissue.
Was a surge of adrenaline responsible for protecting Brad's body from the
extreme impact?
Or was there something even more incredible going on?
Perhaps an explanation can be found by examining another case of survival. One
that involves an extraordinary feat performed by an ordinary man.
Tucson, Arizona, July 26, 2006.
Tom Boyle, a supervisor at a local aerospace company, is driving home with
wife. The couple are about to exit a parking lot when another car pulls
alongside them.
What happens next actually changes Tom in ways that seem to defy the very laws
of nature.
The driver, he had taken it upon himself to peel out out of the parking lot.
And as he did that, he sucked in a bicyclist underneath the vehicle.
I jump out of the car. I go running after the Camaro. And as I approach the
Camaro, there was a boy underneath on a bicycle yelling for help and asking
people to please get the car off him.
I just reacted.
As the boy's cries ring out, Tom has no time to think.
A powerful force comes alive inside him, a force that allows Tom, To
do the impossible.
It just got me so, I guess, nervous and compelled to help
that I just lifted the side of the car.
As I started lifting the car, I could hear the bicyclist telling me, higher,
higher, mister, please go higher.
So I did.
I just held it as long as I possibly could, and I just thought, don't let go.
And fortunately, we got him out.
I'm 6 '3".
At that time, I was 275 pounds.
And the most I've ever lifted, I think, was 800 pounds.
As I lifted the car, I'd never thought about how much it weighed. I just
about saving this kid.
Now, Tom's a big guy, solid guy.
But we're talking about a car, okay? This is a car that weighs about 3 ,000
pounds, and yet he just jacks it up.
bare hands, lifts this thing up. Human beings can't normally just lift cars.
These situations where people manage to do superhuman feats of strength, like
lift a car off someone, as often happens in science, these are rare events. We
don't have detailed measurements.
And so really understanding the true biophysics and physiology of all the
details that go in remain a bit of a mystery and an interesting area for us
explore going forward.
We don't use most of our muscles capability throughout the day. It's
much more, but for some reason only under these extreme circumstances.
If we can learn how to control our mind and use it at will, that would be like
being a superhuman, a superhero.
That will, that power is being driven both not only by the adrenaline, but
importantly, it's that energy.
It's that type of thing in China that's called Fajing, animal explosive energy.
It's a burst of absolute decision.
It's that unknown, that unexplained energetic place that we all know about.
talk about it. We have feelings and vibes about these things.
So this was a once -in -a -lifetime moment for me. I've never done anything
like this again.
I think you could tap into some amazing power.
I truly do. It's there.
You just have to have a reason to use it.
So where does this sudden search of incredible strength come from?
Is it something special and rare?
Or is it simply adrenaline and an untapped ability that exists within all
Perhaps the answers lie in the chaos surrounding another life -and -death
scenario and the surprising circumstances of an extraordinary
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, November 1992.
Banker Annette Herfkins, her fiancé, and 29 other passengers board a small
plane. and head to the coastal town of Natron for a vacation.
But what is supposed to be a short, routine flight is about to turn into a
nightmare.
When I saw the plane, I didn't want to enter it because it was awfully small.
I am very claustrophobic, and I said, there's no way I'm entering that plane.
I'm not going to go in there. It looks old, but mostly small.
And my fiancé said, well, don't worry, don't you have to, it's only 55 minutes,
and do it for us, because I have this beautiful vacation planned, and I knew
were going to speak up about it, but please, please do it.
And then we entered from the back of the plane.
So we sat down, and we were told to buckle our seatbelts, and they were
across. And then I was restrained enough as it is, and I did not buckle my
seatbelt.
And the flight took off.
For the next 30 minutes, I just kept counting the minutes. And the 50th
there was a gigantic drop.
And people were screaming.
And my fiancé looked at me and said, well, this I don't like.
And then another drop.
More people screaming.
And he reached for my hand, and I reached for his.
And then everything went black.
I woke up to this eerie sound of the jungle.
The plane broke in three pieces.
The wings, the fuselage, and the cockpit.
Then I looked at my left, and there I saw my fiancé still trapped in his seat.
It was that.
In shock, grief -stricken, and with the legs and hips broken, Annette painfully
pulls herself out of the wreckage.
Only to find that every passenger on board has perished.
Except her.
It all seems impossible.
In this plane crash, Annette was the only survivor of 31 people. She's the
one that survived.
Did it have to do with just the randomness of her being in the right
hit the ground in just the right place, that had just the right structural
integrity based on how they crashed, or could it be something else?
Miles from civilization, injured and alone.
Annette finds herself in an unbearable predicament.
But somehow, from somewhere deep inside her, she finds a way to survive.
I would just be quiet.
And listen to my instinct.
I just listened to that voice and I acted on it.
And it said, make a plan, divide it in achievable steps.
And when you achieve one of those steps, congratulate yourself. That's exactly
what I did.
I realized that I was going to need some water.
So I looked at the wing of the plane, the insulation material was some kind of
foam. So I figured that could work as a sponge.
And then I made seven little bowls, and I lined them up for it to rain.
And then it rained, and it poured.
And then I was very happy to see this little bowl filling up with water.
Tasted like a batch of pain, as you can imagine.
She was able to survive the plane crash, but maybe what was even more remarkable
is that she was able to survive eight days in the jungle with no prior
jungle training or experience and no conditioning to be in the jungle.
On the afternoon on the eighth day, out of nowhere, men came up the mountain.
And they showed me a passenger list.
And I had to point out my name.
And I just realized how amazing it was that they actually found me.
It may have been random chance that allowed Annette to live through the
crash.
But what was the so -called voice that gave her the guidance she needed to
survive?
Is it some kind of deep -seated electro -biochemical force
that's innate in the brain that suddenly gets activated?
Or is it something that comes from outside?
Is it faith from an outside power that brings that energy to the person who's
desperate need?
Whether or not you view yourself as strong and capable, you have the
to tap into these things and get in tune with these strengths, with these
capabilities, whether you know it or not.
We all have that voice inside of us that we can listen to.
In extreme situations, it's always there to help you.
Just listen to that voice. Be silent. It's there. It's there.
Kelso, Washington, February 2nd, 2020.
38 -year -old Stephen Peete attends to his Sunday chores like yard work and
cooking and tinkering with several projects in his basement.
All the same things that any person might do on a weekend.
But for Stephen, he has to do all this far more carefully than the average
person because for him, doing household chores is more than just a series of
tasks.
It's actually dangerous.
I was born with a rare genetic condition called congenital analgesia. At the
time, that was the name given to it. Now it's called congenital insensitive
pain.
So I can't feel any pain at all.
A life free of pain?
Sounds like something many of us would pay dearly for.
But for people like Stephen, death or severe injury?
lurks around every corner.
My parents first noticed something was different when I was teething and I
chewed off half my tongue.
That definitely alarmed them to something serious going on, so they took
my pediatrician who did a couple of tests and determined that more than
didn't feel pain.
They ran needles up and down my spine, poked my feet a couple of places. I
didn't. elicit a native response, a painful response.
Stephen's gruesome injury provides a stark reminder that while most people
probably don't think of pain as a sense, it may actually be the most important
sense of all.
Congenital analgesia is an inherited form of insensitivity to pain.
Congenital means it runs in the family, and analgesia means that you don't feel
pain. You have no feeling of pain whatsoever.
There's some form of mutation in a gene that's essential for pain perception.
When people first hear that I don't feel pain, they think it is the greatest
thing in the whole world. They're like, well, I've got super power.
But my childhood was spending good chunks of time in the hospital.
I stayed in between like four months to maybe a year and a half, which isn't
normal.
It's an extremely problematic condition.
Pain protects us from self -harm.
and it's often the first time of disease.
So people who are pain -free often die very young.
It's actually rather amazing that he's made it through life as far as he has. I
mean, the classic example we always hear about is learning not to touch things
that are hot.
Pain alerts us when we're doing something in the external world that
make sense and we should stop.
The one thing that I really have to keep an eye on...
It's probably whenever I'm engaged in a physical activity that's a little bit
strenuous, like doing yard work.
It's stuff like that where I can injure myself and not immediately realize it
that can cause serious repercussions down the road.
When we think about senses, we always think about the classic five senses.
Sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing.
One thing that's really interesting, though, is...
we basically have another sense, which is our pain, our sense of pain.
We often just reject that as, well, that's just touch.
But that negates or doesn't think about the internal pains we often feel,
whether it's headaches or stomach aches or sore muscles, which really isn't
quite touch.
Pain is another sense.
It's a sense, we call it, not perception.
It's conveyed by specific kinds of nerves.
We get activated when, for instance, we might touch a hot stove or cut
ourselves.
What's interesting is the brain can regulate pain dramatically, but the
drive that causes pain is from the peripheral nerve. The nerves that send
information into the brain don't work in congenital analgesia patients.
This loss of pain is caused by malfunctions in a very small number of
are extremely rare.
One of them is involved in signaling in the peripheral nerves. It's called NAV1
.7. It's a protein that's called a sodium channel.
It's like an electrical switch.
And if that protein doesn't function properly, then you can become pain
Since Stephen doesn't feel pain, it begs the question, what does he feel
instead? It's difficult for me to try to explain.
But even though I don't feel physical pain, what I can feel is heat, cold,
touch, just like every other person. What I do feel is...
Probably a byproduct of pain is like these impulses, almost like a nerve
Since 2012, I've had the opportunity of being able to participate in a couple of
studies with different universities.
I spent a good portion of my childhood in the hospital. And during those days,
it was usually with people who felt pain and seeing people, especially that
young who are going through such painful experiences.
That's really what prompted me to sign up for a lot of these studies when I was
approached.
And the overall goal in a lot of these studies is to try to create a non
-narcotic painkiller because the opioid crisis that our country is facing is one
that other nations are facing as well.
So I've been asked quite a lot with all these studies I've been participating in
if I had the chance to feel pain, if they could figure out what activates or
deactivates that switch.
Would I myself want to feel pain?
And my answer is no.
And that's only because I've damaged my body so much throughout my entire life
that if I were to feel pain right now, I'd just be in a constant state of pain
all the time.
I have a bad knee, but my back is a little bit messed up. So my quality of
would just be low.
And there's no way I could live like that.
The ability to feel pain is essential to our very survival.
But are there other senses in addition to familiar ones, like touch or sight,
that go beyond our common understanding of what humans are capable of?
Do we all possess an extrasensory perception?
As we continue to study the human mind, will we one day be able to reveal
certain extrasensory abilities?
For millennia, there have been people who could sense an invisible presence,
whether it be a deceased loved one, a spiritual energy, or even something more
sinister. While it may sound a bit oka -boka, a study published by scientists
from Caltech in 2019 suggests that humans can not only detect energy
they can also sense the magnetic field of the Earth.
The human brain has a lot of phenomena going on inside it that uses
electromagnetic charges and electric fields. And if you change the magnetic
field around your brain, it will impact what's going on inside your brain.
So small magnetic fields are most certainly detectable. We just may not
we're detecting them.
They wouldn't surprise me in any way if there aren't aspects of brain function.
that we are completely unaware of at the moment, that we'll become aware of
later when we understand more about how the brain actually works.
Since it's already been proven that humans have more than five senses, could
there really be something to the notion that we have the potential to sense the
world around us in what some would consider bizarre or even mystical ways?
According to some researchers, the answer is yes.
And as evidence, they point to an incredible phenomenon known as paroptic
vision.
Paroptic vision was first proposed by a surrealist writer called René Dommel,
who was a teenager, practiced seeing color through his fingertips.
So he'd put different colored handkerchiefs inside a box, and then
see if he could tell what color the handkerchief was. That sounds quite
but I've done some experiments.
It's a rare ability, but I did find one person who was able to detect the colors
through the fingertips. I can't explain it, but she could detect color with 80 %
reliability through her fingertips.
It's been discovered that the skin has opsins embedded in them, and opsins help
the body calibrate to circadian rhythms, to 24 -hour rhythms.
So it's not too much of a stretch to think how opsins could not just detect
light, but they could also detect color.
Many people believe that there are mysterious ways of sensing things that
involve the traditional senses.
And I believe that there's perfectly reasonable expectation that may perhaps
true. We don't really understand how the brain works at all.
As incredible as it is to discover new senses, it's also a little unsettling.
Because if our brain is just using our senses to constantly try and guess what
reality is,
Then how are we to know when it gets us wrong instead of right?
I like to think of perception as a kind of controlled hallucination because
there's no light in the skull, there's no sound in the skull. All you've got to
go on out of the brain are these noisy and ambiguous sensory signals.
Signals don't come with labels.
I'm from a coffee cup or I'm from a cat.
And this is why, for instance, if you look up at the sky and there's some
clouds, sometimes you might see faces.
Reality is not quite as real as people think.
We are often told that something looks red because it reflects more red
wavelengths. But there's no such thing as red wavelengths.
Color is not a property of objects. It's a property of brains.
It's simply the wonder that our brain is creating all of this and that we can
agree on so much.
Perception is about representing the world and the body and the self in the
that's most useful for the organism.
So if you see a color, that's not right or wrong. Color is where the brain meets
the universe in a way that's useful for us.
I think we can all agree reality exists. We think, therefore, something exists.
But what it is and how we will know what it is is fun to explore.
It's thrilling to think that we may one day witness the next step in human
evolution by unlocking our so -called extrasensory abilities.
Could things like pain management, physical strength, and even the
heal ourselves be functions that already exist within us?
As we learn more about the power of mind over matter, perhaps the answers will
become second nature.
But for now...
the extraordinary capabilities of the human brain remain
unexplained.
