You actually believe that fable?

I remember when I allowed a mosquito my unperturbed demeanor and focused observation as an equanimous child: it bit me, and the pain and itch soon followed after. Truly an empirical learning experience through personal testing and experimentation. Extensively enlightening and eye-opening.

Mosquitos, like wasps, are intolerant and dangerous, they must be taken care of in the right ways and for the right reasons. I'd sooner be one with the dragon-flies than with the mosquitoes. It's not just rainbows and butterflies out there.

If they are in MY space, yes....I always say to their little souls...."You're going to a better place,
this place is not all it's cracked up to be."


(Oh, not harmless slow-pokey nothings, waddling along...I take them outside.)

Killing is fine, Hannibal, I get it...I lived in TX for years and FL...it's the revenge and hate that
is not anything I would want in me.
Frustration, sure...solving the problem...sure.

If a Hindu mystic can materialize an object out of thin air, why can't an animal protect one, through whom thousands became enlightened?

Sorry, but I have witnessed any Hindu mystics. But I have seen cobras in the wild and on video. I never saw one do any such thing, or be large enough to do any such thing.

Our magicians can materialize even bigger objects out of thin air right in front of you, and the bigger objects will eat the smaller ones.

Anyone who could actually materialize objects out of thin air would be able to do so ad infinitum under extensively critical and observant conditions. Not to mention the infinite power and perpetual motive force that would be generated would thus end the need to toil in work or go hungry.

call me skeptical about such a moot (and improperly utilized) supposed occurrence.

This was done under very objective observation. I am not sure about the name, I think, it was Said Baba who did this. Witness I rely on I trust him. Considering it was done maybe a foot away from his eyes on open palm and he could see each step of materialization in progress. Starting with shimmering and so on. That gentleman is absolutely objective observer, he understands, that torsion fields were employed by that mystic to materialize an object.

Will telekinesis count for you? Does the name Ninel Kulagina ring a bell? Who did her telekinetic presentations under complete scientific scrutiny of 100% non religious non believing objective panel of scientists?

Yes, you as a group of single fallible human-beings with very single and untested perspectives are very objective!

Like I said, Sai Baba could have been making himself more useful but he won't, because (if for no other reason other than lack of smart vision) he was a fraud seeking donations and inheritances for his Hindu/Muslim mosque of religious unity. Like Jesus, powers were attributed to him by devotes of his agreement with them.

Ninel Kulagina? Never heard of her because again (if her powers were real) she was a waste of them. According to the Wikipedia article on her, she presented her "telekinetic" powers in hotels to Soviet government scientists, they might have lied to the public in order to entice the USA into thinking Russia was ahead in spychokenetic research and make the USA waste its time. No further research nor investment was performed on her by the Russian government. Rather odd and questionable, don't you think? Hardly what anyone would call 100% "objective" panels. And I don't see how the claims for her were at all Religiously Mystical... do you?

I just need to correct the above...I have NOT witnessed any Hindu mystics.
