Jack Schwarz was born into a Christian family in Holland.
When he was a small child, Jack Schwarz found that he could levitate and by age 9 he found he had the ability to heal.
Jack's mother had tuberculosis.
Each day after school Jack pressed his hands to his mother’s pain, and in three months she was out of bed.
Jack said: 'I became at that time a little bit of a miracle kid of the neighborhood, and they brought their frogs, and their pigeons and their grandmothers, and I just didn’t know what I was doing really.'
Jack believed that, in order to heal, we should tune out of our ego and tune into the higher spirit.
Jack said: 'I don’t have any abilities which the average person doesn’t have.'
Most people, he said, put more energy into their disease and injuries than they do into their healing processes.
'The healing process can only be activated if you really start paying attention to what we can do if that part of the body is functioning well.'
...
During World War II, Jack joined the resistance movement.
In 1943, Jack was captured by the Germans and sent to a forced labour camp in Germany, and later to Sachsenhaus prison camp.
In 1944, Jack escaped from the prison camp.
In 1957, Jack emigrated to the USA.
At the Menninger Foundation, in the USA, Jack demonstrated the power of the mind over the body.
Jack Schwarz could push a metal shaft completely through his arm.
There would be no pain or wound.

According to Jack:
Pain is the body’s means of warning us something is wrong.
Jack compares his method of pain control to shutting off the alarm in the morning when we have heard it enough to get the message that it’s time to get up.
Jack says 'I have never healed a single person in my life yet except myself.
'But I have been instrumental for them to start the healing process by getting them started and giving them some little bit of energy. I didn’t give it away, but I just shared it with them.'
Jacks says: 'Let us say a person is in a cast of the leg, so they cannot run, they cannot really walk very well either.
'We ask them to start imagining themselves as really experiencing, not just a mental picture, but really experiencing to be, let us say, on the beach and running and playing with the ball or going into the waves and to really perceive and to smell the sea air, to feel the warm sand on their feet - anything that can make it more real to them, so that even for a moment they forget they are actually in a chair.
'Through that, they actually activate their muscles and their blood circulation, and the instruments show that they are responding as if they really were walking or running and playing with the ball.'
What we perceive is our brain's best guess at what the girl is like.
Donald Hoffman believes that human perceptions of girls and other things are all illusions.
Donald D. Hoffman is a Professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science.

"When we produce a thought, that thought can change us and can change the world in a good way or in a bad way.
"If it is right thought, if that thought is produced in line with right thinking, then it will have a healing, nourishing effect on our body and on the world.
In John's Gospel, Jesus says: "It is the Father who lives in me who carries out his work through me...
"If you live your life in me, and my words live in your hearts, you can ask for whatever you like and it will come true for you."
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus says: "Give and men will give to you - yes, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will they pour into your lap...
"Mirin Dajo was invited to Switzerland to have his abilities formally studied under laboratory conditions.
"In front of a group of doctors and journalists, Dajo had his assistant stab him through with the steel rapier and as always he did not bleed or even flinch.
"He then calmly walked upstairs with doctors to take his X-ray which undeniably proved that no trickery was involved and he was indeed impaled.
Some people's brain cells may see motherhood as being 'unconditional love and forgiveness'.
Other people may see motherhood as being 'disappointment and ridicule'.
Candace Pert, former chief of brain biochemistry at the National Institute of Mental Health, suggests that mind is present throughout the body and that emotions are the links between matter and mind.
(Dr. Joseph M. Carver PhD, Emotional Memory Management: Positive Control Over Your Memory.)
If we are constantly bombarding our cells with the same negative attitudes, emotions, and beliefs, our biochemistry adapts by creating more receptor sites for those particular brain chemicals which cause our problems.
"People often become physically/chemically addicted and dependent on various negative states of being such as depression, victimization, frustration, or jealousy.
"Over time we crave more of the peptides (certain brain chemicals) we're addicted to and create repetitive dramas in our lives in order to receive our next dose."
"Living with positive, life-affirming, non-limiting thoughts/emotions/beliefs leads to physical health, wellness, and even miraculous supernormal abilities."

According to some research at Princeton University
We can mentally influence - and are influenced by - the thoughts of others.
We can mentally influence biological processes in bodies other than our own.
We can mentally influence the functioning of non-biological systems.
Now, if we are going to be angels in Nirvana, or Heaven or Paradise, we may have to dump our personalities.
Paradoxically, it may be that if we give up our supposed 'free will', we can then follow the will of 'God' (or go with the flow, tune into the Tao, realise that we are part of 'God') and live happily ever after.
The Buddhists would say that our sense of being a separate 'self' is an illusion.
We should practise non-attachment to lots of things.
"All the delightful things of the world - sweet sounds, lovely forms, all the pleasant tastes and touches and thoughts - these are all agreed to bring happiness if they are not grasped and possessed.
But if you regard them merely as pleasures for your own use and satisfaction and do not see them as passing wonders, they will bring suffering.
"Living beings resist the zero state so they can experience enjoyment out of what is essentially nothingness."
Being an angel in Heaven, Paradise or Nirvana does not mean that one is without compassion.
Some Buddhists see an enlightened being as one whose changing self is highly developed.[16]
One with "great self" has a mind which is not at the mercy of outside stimuli or its own moods, but is imbued with self-control, and self-contained.[17]
The mind of such a one is without boundaries, not limited by attachment or "I-identification."[18]
One can transform one's self from an "insignificant self" into a "great self" through practices such as mindfulness.[19]
The suttas portray one disciple who has developed his mind through loving-kindness saying: "Formerly this mind of mine was limited, but now my mind is immeasurable."[19]
With "nirvana-after-death", paranirvana, the last remains of physical life vanish, and no further rebirth takes place.
With nirvāṇa the consciousness is released, and the mind becomes aware in a way that is totally unconstrained by anything in the conditioned world.

How to explain the world?
0 = +x -x
Particles are constantly popping in and out of existence, according to the scientists.
The +x -x could be seen as representing all possible things.
According to the scientists, a bottle of Coke exists in all possible locations, until it is observed existing in one particular location.
So, Martin Rees's mind could produce a world where things are different.
What clues are provided by numbers?
"Numerology is based on the idea that each of us is a spiritual being, or a soul, who incarnates many times in order to further evolve toward higher states of awareness."
Some little kids can tell you about a previous life.
We are going to look at 'personal year numbers.'
To get your number, add up the numbers in your date of birth.
For example, if you were born on 01/ 02/ 1903, your personal year number is 1 + 2 + 19 + 3, which equals 25 which you reduce to 7 (by adding the 2 to the 5).

"Thirteen is ... the ancient number of completion. Thirteen is considered to signify the end of a cycle, as evidenced by the fact that there are thirteen lunar months in the year and thirteen signs in the Celtic and Native American systems of astrology.
"While thirteen foretells new beginnings, it also signifies that outmoded systems must come to an end to make way for much needed transformations."
"The golden ratio is an irrational number, approximately 1.618, that possesses many interesting properties.
"Shapes defined by the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in Western cultures, reflecting nature's balance between symmetry and asymmetry and the ancient Pythagorean belief that reality is a numerical reality, except that numbers were not units as we define them today, but were expressions of ratios.
"The golden ratio is still used frequently in art and design. The golden ratio is also referred to as the golden mean, golden section, golden number or divine proportion."
The ancient Greeks knew of a rectangle whose sides are in the golden proportion (1 : 1.618 which is the same as 0.618 : 1).

The twelfth century Italian mathematician, Leonardo P. Fibonacci, observed a predictable sequence of all natural development as shown by a progression of numbers:
The Fibonacci Sequence demonstrates the idea that each stage of natural growth or development refers to its prior state in order to take its next evolutionary step. (This is not unlike Piaget's principle of rapprochement in child psychology.) It also follows the Phi Ratio
Hayes has been puzzling about the meaning of life.
Hayes introduces the 'Hermetic Code'.
It's all about numbers and their relation to everything from music to religion.
Hayes refers to pi which is 22/7, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
"22/7 is ... an expression of three consecutive octaves of resonance. An octave ... comprises seven fundamental notes: Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti. The eighth note, Do, a repeat of the first but with double the pitch frequency, is the first note of the second octave. Accordingly the eighth note of the second octave – again, Do – is the first note of the third. Taken together these three octaves contain twenty-two notes...
Hayes believes the 'pi symmetry' is found in the Great Pyramid.
The number three is important throughout the universe: the three main constituents of atoms – protons, electrons and neutrons, the three primary colours of the spectrum of light....
And the number eight... eight particles to each octet
Superstring theory 'describes all particles in the universe as infinitesimally small strings made of a kind of vibrational energy.'
Superstring theory - eleven different dimensions : three spacial, one temporal, and seven others of increasingly acute curvature...
'There are eight degrees of manifestation or modes of movement inherent within the string itself....'
"In the genetic code there are four kinds of fundamental chemical bases... It takes three of these bases to make what is known as a triplet-codon, an amino acid template, of which there are precisely sixty-four variations...
"Universal harmony is also reflected in the ever present number seven...
Hayes sees the Hermetic Code as a blueprint of the structure of the universe, DNA molecule, and life itself.
Hayes writes that "the Hermetic Code, the design plan for everything existing – particles, cosmic concentrations, living cells – is applicable literally everywhere, not only in the wider universe, but also, as we see from esoteric traditions going back over centuries and millennia, in the ephemeral realms of the collective human psyche.... Everyone, quite literally, is a miniature universe...
"If we assume, therefore, that the universe is itself an organism, a living entity, and that we are all copies of it, then this would imply that the more advanced products of an organic brain – ideas, theories, concepts – are also in their own way alive, they are metaphysical genes, as organic as the brain from which they originate.
"The ancients of the remote past, in my view, seem somehow to have understood this, which is why they devised a musical mode of existence in the form of prescribed disciplines and rituals which enabled them to psychologically conform to the laws and forces controlling evolution.
"This is precisely why religion was first invented – to instil into the collective consciousness of humanity the necessity of harmonising one's inner faculties according to the principles of the Hermetic Code.
"The aim was quite straightforward, it was an attempt to complete the natural course of one's evolutionary and psychological development by living-out a harmonious existence and ultimately transcending on to a higher plane, a greater musical scale above.
"This greater scale, a wholly scientific concept describing a higher dimension of existence accessible to the trained mind, is the heaven expressed in all religions."
