CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Most scholars avoid delving into historical records of levitation and other forms of psychokinesis. Dr. Michael Grosso, however, has deliberately delved in. The implications concerning human nature and its latent potential are as important to understanding our present and future as any lessons history has to offer, he said.
“It seems to me that if ... any of the stories about levitation are true ... they’re important for at least one major reason,” Grosso said. “They add to the evidence that renders the idea of materialism quite untenable.”
For millenia, human society had various “methods of dialogue with the divine,” he said. Within the past few hundred years, however, humanity has increasingly turned to an absolute materialism, denying anything that has not been physically measured. Yet glimpses of something more are not fanciful; they are grounded in real experiences.
