There can be no question that Jesus is implying normal human beings have an inherent power, not just to levitate themselves and the largest physical objects on the planet, but they can accomplish anything they believe they can do. Is this not also saying, in effect, that humans can be "all-powerful", an attribute believed by Christian doctrine to be reserved only for God? Or, could this be exactly what God meant, after Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree in Eden described as containing "the knowledge of good and evil", when he said "Behold, the man is become as one of us"?

One can only imagine the incredible possibilities this concept presents. If anything is possible to anyone who has just a speck of faith, or persuasion, then this could easily explain several anomalous powers documented in human history. This includes several powers well known to paranormal researchers and familiar to society, as a whole, through books, movies, documentaries, and a wealth of internet sources. A few of these incredible human powers are actually documented in the Bible. We have already covered levitation and psychokenesis, and now we move to astral projection, otherwise known as "Out of Body Experience", OBE.

Astral Projection and Telepathy

Amazingly, this power is described in crystal clear language by Paul in the course of an unrelated conversation: "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." (II Corinthians 12:2-4)

The concept of whether this person was actually physically in his body is so important that Paul repeats it twice. Whether he was, or not, it is clear that Paul believes this could have been an "out of the body" experience. This can only mean that Pual actually knew such a power could be accomplished by humans. And, within this scenario, which is never mentioned from the pulpit, is found evidence of telepathy hidden in the phrase "and heard unspeakable words".

The word "heard" is translated from the Greek word, akouo, pronounced ak-oo'-o, meaning; to hear (in various senses), so is not restricted to the sense of hearing directly. The word "unspeakable" is translated from arrhetos, pronounced ar'-hray-tos, meaning; unsaid. The definition of telepathy in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is: communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means. If this man heard words that were unsaid or unspoken, it could be said that he received them "telepathically". Of course, Christians themselves practice, and must believe in telepathy; at least between themselves and God, or how else could God hear prayer and be able to "spiritually" speak to them?
