It does not suprise me that a human could display these kinds of talents. we also have people on this earth now, in our time, that are still effectively in the stone age, as far as their intelligence and awareness goes.

So, a highly evolved soul decides to come to earth in the 20th century, or 21st century and happens to possess abilities that are not going to appear in the natural evolution of the bulk of humanity for many more years. It can be seen as a 'preview' of what will be the norm for all mankind if the stone-agers don't dominate and destroy the whole game beforehand. Jesus was such a one and perhaps. this can be seen as something for us to something to aim for.

These abilities are all part of our natural potential and if we focus, open our hearts, recognise the fact of our One-ness with All of life and All beings, we will be on the path to that day.

What are you talking about? The question here is whether it is even possible for the light receptors in the retina to be able to be sensitive to wavelengths as sall as those of x-rays..and then you have to ask how that interferes with reception of wavelengths in the "visible spectrum", and how the brain inteprets the data.

Sorry, but you seem to be talking about something that is physically impossible for the human body to perform.

Consider a) x-ray needs to be generated b) transmitted c) received.

Another thing is X-ray carries way too much energy for organic compounds, i.e., x-ray easily breaks the bonds in them and causes mutation if it damages DNA.

Am I the only one who is annoyed about the constantly increasing amounts of irrelevant BS-articles appearing at ACS OT main page? I don't want the first page to be full of some "Monkey which has wings and can talk flashed in Seychelles!" -threads, they make browsing truly interesting posts with some actual points harder.

I agree, you truly are a Gen-Y hippie. The energy to create naïve idealism will always net a , though.

So she can "see" X-Rays. Anybody mind telling me where the X-Rays are coming from? Or does she somehow project them out of her eyes, have them bounce off a mirror and then reflect through whatever she was looking at?

at all the credulity on this thread.

Monkspider: Jesus, Communism, and now "The Girl with the X-Ray Eyes". Is there anything you won't believe in, no matter how foolish?

Oh please. Read the article, and it should be obvious what the first major sign is that this is utter bullshit. Where are the statements from these supposed medical professionals who witnessed these things and tested her? Not ONE is quoted. No names are given of the doctors who supposedly tested her. They don't even name the hospitals where these things were supposedly done! The reporter doesn't even give testimony to witnessing these things himself. It's all the word of the girl and her mother, and nothing elae.

Come on, this is WWN material. Look at the links at the bottom, for pete's sake!

This thread's been a hoot, especially from those who think others are taking the story way too seriously. Laugh a little, guys. It does you a world of good.

Perhaps, but only if you have a limited understanding of what we are capable of acheiving.

I'm not sure how she does it, but technically this isn't something that is so difficult. Her particular means of doing so may be beyond my understanding though, which is what I find interesting.

I don't know. I find something comforting in the fact that some people often use the 'that's impossible because' approach rather than the 'that may be possible if' approach.
