While the Hippie/Protesters’ attempt at levitation of the Pentagon in ’67 was unfortunately not successful, one night five years later in 1972 00individual was involved with one that was.
At 10 PM while closing up the Crane’s record store that 00individual managed on Pacific Coast Highway in Palos Verdes, California; a couple of co-workers’ friends showed up to set the stage for a supernatural evening.
After letting them in and locking the front door, someone suggested that the group of five, three females and two males, should attempt to physically levitate – which 00individual had heard of but hadn’t experienced, yet.
The solitude of the record store at night and of all the massive amounts of talent and creativity emanating from the bins and racks of records created just the right ambiance and everyone was totally and seriously into the vibe, which was crucial for success.
Here was their Occult procedure: there had to be five willing and dedicated individuals, essentially, true believers. One sits on an average non-folding chair, preferably wood (organic), the other four, after a brief ritual, place a predetermined single finger under and at the edge of the four-cornered (or equidistant) chair’s seat and levitate the chair and the fifth individual nearly above their heads with no effort!
The ritual was a simple one,
one of the five sits in the chair,
the other four choose which hand/finger they will use to levitate,
in counter-clockwise order, (to unite and initiate the group’s counter gravity mindset force) each individual places their open hands’ palms down out at arms’ length with each palm centered over and above the others, the very bottom hand is palm up (this traps the energy), each hand hovers above and below the next individual’s hand without touching with hands stacked four high,
silence and seriousness are golden, minds are focused, and soon each individual will feel rising heat in their palm and on top of their hand that increases in intensity, this can happen relatively quickly,
when all four agree that the heat/time/vibe is right, all four individuals place their predetermined single finger in position just under the corners of the chair and effortlessly levitate the fifth individual and chair nearly above their heads.
They were so successful at levitating the first person with only four single fingers that they each took turns being levitated! Male or female, size or weight, it didn’t matter all were successful and equally amazing feats!
After much giddy fun, 00individual set the alarm and locked the back door of the store and they all “levitated” into the night.
This is a perfect example of mind over matter and shows that the apparently impossible is in fact possible. All those stories where a mother literally lifts a car to free her trapped child are examples of the supernatural strength everyone has within them that is available during times of extreme stress – and during times of the joining of like minds, focused on a goal.
There are scenes with glimpses of people doing this in the 1987 movie “The Gate” and in the 2013 movie “This Is The End”.
00individual considered trying this with a group of very talented but jaded young co-worker dudes in an R&D sector back in 2009 but was aware of their youthful too-hip cynicism and knew it would never happen.
Which once again says a lot for the state of mind that the Counter-Culture was in back then – they were united and truly believed that anything was possible – and it was – through their efforts they helped end a war.
