Chapter 5
The power of the mind and body
What is the mind?
Uri Geller discovered the power of his mind when he was four years old. He used the power of his main to change the shape of metal things. And he can read or describe a picture with his eyes covered. Some people don’t believe in his powers. But no one has proved that they aren’t real.
Other man was Michel Nostradame, “Nostradamus”. He could see the future and made predictions.
He was a doctor but when “the black death” killed thousand people include his wife and children, he left his home and travelled around the world. Nostradamus predicted many important things like the power of Hitler in Germany, the Second World War and the deaths of some important people.
Other people have predictions with their dreams. Many people have dreams about The Titanic crash on the night that happened or have predictions about their death.
Like the mind mysteries, the body mysteries are really interesting.
How can a person suddenly start burning for no reason? Or how can person not burn with fire?
Jacqueline Fitzsimmons, a seventeen years old student, was walking with her friends and suddenly started burning. She died in minutes. No one could find any reason.
Or fire-walking men,some people can walk in the fire and fell no pain.
Other strange story was about a woman and a strange blue light. When she was sleeping a blue light came from her body and when she woke up, it disappeared.
The last story is about an Englishman, Daniel Douglas. It’s the most famous story. He flew out third-floor window and then he flew back into the building an open window in another room. Asian countries have many stories like this.
