o offense Maynoth but everything you've shared with me has hardly been that dramatic to cause an uproar, I don't see any problem with the "400 page debate" after all what's to stop Ren or anyone else from "posting" what you share in private?
As a person who has burned, and been burned, by Private Messages being brought public, I hope this doesn't happen...

Say someone did claim to be able to levitate. There's no reason you couldn't stand on the floor and try it for yourself.
What I'm trying to say is that for everything there's two sides. Someone who believes and someone who doesn't. You take both into consideration and decide for yourself. After all, there are many people who would say the Jedi beliefs, ideas, and even this site is a bunch of nonsensical garbage. Does that mean I have to immediately disown the Jedi ideas?
Yes it is. Did you watch the video provided in the link that was under discussion one of the claims was that chang placed his hand in front of a rifle and stopped a fired bullet. Another is that he caught a bullet shard in his mouth.
There are some logic and death defying claims made in the video and elsewhere. Mankind was given logic and reason for a purpose: so that we don't feel the need to entertain these notions just because someone else is so dead set on them. That is their own perogative, as I have my own.

Never in your lifetime will you be able to catch a bullet.
No one is asking you to try to catch a bullet either.

Perhaps using special materials and circumstances you could catch one to prove a point.
Short of magic tricks and kevlar vests though, you won't be catching one in your lifetime.

Exactly. We have our own minds...minds we use to decide what we do and don't beleive.
Being able to look at both sides is not dangerous to a person's health.

Here is another cool magic trick.
Pushing a wood chopstick through a block of wood, it's a really good magic trick.

I've got several studies published in reputable journals, documentaries with medical doctors and scientists present, etc.
People are welcome to weigh the skeptics claims vs the evidence I present, but really all they have to do is meditate with the correct methods to see the truth of the matter first hand.
I encourage people just to see for themselves and make up their own minds.
Learning how to meditate correctly using the correct methods is all that is necessary, no jumping off buildings or catching bullets required.
