I have always been fascinated by claims of psychic and extra sensory abilities. The idea that the mind and body existing separately but interact as one and that more potentials of the mind exist then we are taught or that is known.

Many of us have seen extraordinary feats of the body. Contortion, super human strength, balance, speed and agility - we see these often in people such as athletes and circus performers -- But how can you see such ability in the realm of the mind? Can the mental, like the physical be trained to high levels and gain amazing abilities?

Many believe it can. This is why Tibet is so interesting. A difficult and isolated terrain, the culture of Tibet has developed uniquely and created the environment for the most intensive mind training on the planet. Tibetan Yogis follow complete systems of training to obtain their results, many systems shrowded in mystery.

The claims of the Yogis range from super natural abilities, mind matter interaction, the ability to recall memories from past lives and gain control over the process of death. When thinking and wondering about such claims we must remember, the western and scientific models of the mind are incomplete. Most people in the west neural sciences feel the human brain operates similarly to a computer, processing logical operating instructions. We must also think in terms of an eastern model, where the brain functions on the model of a receiver, receiving information from a larger ordered 'mind'. When one thinks in such terms, even when combined with western models, interesting possibilities become evident as the mind becomes networked and unlocalized.

Attached are a few interesting videos on the yogis and culture of Tibet.

Loved your post about it. I think this could be a good topic for an essay especially it's all about yoga.
