“I never said it was possible. I only said it was true.”

~Charles Richet

I have tried to save the best for last: the idea that one can make objects appear from thin air and then make them disappear – including people.

First, there is the Indian mystic Sai Baba, who was known for his miraculous abilities. On one occasion, a devotee approached Sai Baba and requested a rare and exotic sweet called "peda" as a token of his blessings. Sai Baba gestured for the devotee to open his empty bag, and to everyone's amazement, it was suddenly filled with the desired pedas. This incident left a lasting impression on those who witnessed it and is often cited as an example of Sai Baba's divine powers of manifestation.

While materialization has been reported throughout ancient history (especially in religious texts), we will focus on more contemporary researchers (somewhat) in terms of our source material. The first subject was a french physiologist named Dr. Charles Richet. In 1887, Richet became professor of physiology at the Collège de France investigating a variety of subjects such as neurochemistry, digestion, and breathing. In 1913, he would go on to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine due to his research on a condition known as “anaphylaxis”. Throughout this time, Richet would also gain interest in the field of parapsychology and the study of psychic mediums. In 1894, Richet would coin the term “ectoplasm” to describe a substance that emanated from psychic mediums when in a trance state. Here is a description of ectoplasm by one of Richet’s colleagues who studied the phenomena: “very variable in appearance, being sometimes vaporous, sometimes a plastic paste, sometimes a bundle of fine threads, or a membrane with swellings or fringes, or a fine fabric-like tissue”. In some cases, limbs and greater portions of a body would materialize from the ectoplasm of mediums. Interestingly enough, it’s been reported that low light conditions are necessary for the manifestation of ectoplasm. This resonates based on the marked effects of light/darkness on the brainwave activity of humans.

Jumping timelines to more recent times, philosopher and researcher Dr. Stephen Braude has studied various topics related to the “supernormal”. One of his most profound case studies revolved around a woman known as “The Gold Leaf Lady”. This case took place in the 1980s and encompasses a woman who emanated what appeared to be large pieces of gold-like sheets from various parts of her body. Braude would utilize the services of magicians to verify that the woman was not utilizing any trickery to manifest the substance. In order to verify the composition of the metal, Braude would have it tested at multiple universities including the University of Baltimore Maryland, University of Denver, and Johns Hopkins University. They would all conclude that the substance emanating from the woman was brass (a combination of copper and zinc). Based on the amount of material emanated from the body, it was concluded that secretions of copper and zinc would be completely insufficient to explain the manifestation. It’s interesting to note that while “The Gold Leaf Lady” was not a professional psychic, other “paranormal” phenomena was reported alongside the manifestation of the brass sheets. She reportedly assisted local law enforcement in solving crimes (via psychic ability), induced rapid seed germination in her hands, showcased the ability to bend metal, and although illiterate was observed writing quatrains in medieval French during her mediumistic moments.

In 1996, Dr. Stanley Krippner would publish a case study in the Journal of Scientific Exploration regarding the materialization of objects from a Brazilian man in his 50’s named Amyr Amiden. Amiden was of Syrian descent and had been raised Muslim but had developed an openness to inspiration from all religions. In this case study, Krippner and his team of researchers would document the occurrence of materialization alongside changes in the subject’s pulse, blood pressure, and saliva pH. According to Amiden, he rarely exuded volitional control over the phenomena but he did believe there were internal signals that indicated “something” was happening. He would experience a taste of acid in his saliva, the loss of color vision, and the appearance of sweat on his hands. According to Krippner and his team, Amiden would materialize objects such as polished stones, rings, and jewelry… sometimes in the near vicinity and sometimes in other rooms within the building of the experiment.

Ectoplasm, brass sheets materializing from the body… medallions appearing out of “thin air”?  Hopefully this has prepared you for digesting the next and final phenomenon: materializing and dematerializing one’s body.

Besides his often-demonstrated ability to manifest sweets, fruits, and sacred items out of thin air, Neem Karoli Baba, a revered Indian saint and mystic, is said to have had the ability to physically manifest his body in different locations simultaneously. Many instances are recounted where he would appear in distant places to provide blessings or solace to people in need. These remarkable manifestations were not constrained by the limitations of time and space, defying conventional understanding and leaving an enduring legacy.

Author and scholar David Buckland mentions the discussion of traveling across galaxies at very high speeds in the Puranas, which form part of traditional Hindu literature:

Essentially, you withdraw your physical expression into your energy body, then you can move rapidly over vast distances with attention and intention. Comet-style, we might say, but much faster. Unlike astral travel, you take your body with you.

And there’s the ability to put your attention anywhere within consciousness (everywhere). In Unity stage, you can experience through another being anywhere, in any time. With skill, you can unmanifest the body here and remanifest it there.

This makes claims of yogic flying – which only involves partial lightening of your body’s particles – sound like child’s play. Yet, upon encountering this phenomenon from a generally respected source such as Buckland, it seemed right to include it as a final possibility to consider.

Possible explanation

John Chavez suggests that “during our altered states of consciousness, our photonic emanation potential is significantly different than during normal consciousness allowing us to possibly materialize our subconscious/superconscious imagination.”

Multiple studies indicating that the human body produces photons internally as well as emanating photons externally from the extremities. A photon is the smallest unit of physical measurement of the electromagnetic field. While photons are not considered to be particles of “matter” such as electrons, the possibility of manifesting electrons from photons was actualized in the 1990s.

A 1997 study in the journal Physical Review Letters outlines the process of creating electrons and positrons from the collision of two ultrapowerful beams of radiation (light/photons).

Obviously there are many, many missing pieces to the equation of “materialization” from photonic emanation based on altered states of consciousness. While particles of matter such electrons/positrons have been observed to be created from photons when utilizing artificial radiation… there still lies the question of the nucleus of the atom, the organization of atoms into molecules, and the organization of molecules into objects.

Much like in the description of the 1997 study where the collision of the photons created an enormous electromagnetic field… we believe that in severely altered states of consciousness, the human brain/body is capable of generating electromagnetic fields that emanate outside of the physical body. From a chemical perspective, we do believe that there is a synchronous, measurable neural-based upregulation of the “endohuasca” system coinciding with this field expansion. The size of the field would coincide with the increased amplitude strength of slow wave/fast waves. For instance, in the piece “Telekinesis, DMT & a Huge Gamma Spike”, it was observed the the subject effectively moved a small object telekinetically when his brain exuded enormous amplitudes in theta waves (slow) as well as extremely fast gamma waves (400Hz). We speculate that in the case of materialization, the activity might even be more pronounced with significant amplitude in the delta/theta ranges as well as the potentiality of gamma waves of 1000 Hz or more. This would lead to an even stronger electromagnetic field emanating from the human during these moments.

Conclusion

These occurrences probably stretch your mind as far as it can stretch. Ectoplasm might just be trickery using cheese cloth, the brass foil might just be a well-executed magic trick, and Krippner might have been fooled by his own team. But there were respected scientists involved here, and often they went to great lengths to prevent fraud.

In the absence of any kind of fraud, one has to contend with the possibility that atomic formation is somehow controllable with attention and intention. Again, it’s up to you to believe what you will.
