The Bizarre Case of the Flying Priest - Mysterious Universe

The most well-known case of a person who could levitate is no doubt the story of Jospeh of Copertino. Michael Grosso, the author of The Man Who Could Fly: St. Joseph of Copertino and the Mystery of Levitation, argues that the sheer number of witnesses and the amount of official documentation around this case all but proves that it's a genuine case of human levitation. Most people would consider levitation a miracle, so it's not surprising that Michael Grosso's latest work is Smile of the Universe: Miracles in an Age of Disbelief (Anomalist Books), which David E. Presti, professor of neurobiology, University of California, Berkeley, calls "a sophisticated philosophical and scientific analysis of miracles—a universal phenomenon perhaps never-before investigated so thoroughly in such a sober and open-minded manner." You can hear an interview on miracles with Grosso in the second part of a podcast with Jim Harold, the Paranormal Podcast Guy. And to finish off this trio of Grosso posts, his latest blog post at Consciousness Unbound is Losing Our Sense of the Transcendent in which he reminds us of the traditions of spiritual enlightenment that revolve around the virtues of the void. Joseph of Copertino, he writes, "whose lightness of spirit rendered him immune to gravity, stated very forcefully that his chief aim in life was to become nulla (nothing)." Gives new meaning to the term "good for nothing." (PH)
