Worth making note of.

It’d be fantastic if scientists finally ended up acknowledging that there are powerful spiritual abilities we can develop that defy the ability to be easily explained.

An 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent seven decades without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors who studied him during a two-week observation period. Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television. During the period, he neither ate nor drank and did not go to the toilet.

“We still do not know how he survives,” neurologist Sudhir Shah told reporters after the end of the experiment. “It is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is.”

‘Starving yogi’ astounds Indian scientists.

Human behavior is 93 percent predictable, a group of leading Northeastern University network scientists recently found. Distinguished Professor of Physics Albert-László Barabási and his team studied the mobility patterns of anonymous cell-phone users and concluded that, despite the common perception that our actions are random and unpredictable, human mobility follows surprisingly regular patterns. The team’s research is published in the current issue of Science magazine.

[A] friend just told me the only things he’s concerned with are his job, sleep, and food.  Spiritual matters are not on the list for him, just like the rest of the people I know.

What I’d say to your friend is: Do you talk to people every day? Then you’re doing something which is spiritual.  Do you feel what you eat and how well you sleep affects your thinking, mood and ability to work? Then you’ve realised something spiritual.  Spirituality isn’t about fairy stories and up-in-the-clouds stuff, it’s about connecting everything together in your life to have it all working for you.  It’s certainly not about anything separate from your normal life, but quite the opposite: It is about everything in your life.
