Mar. 7, 2007 The pain some people endure causes them to approach superhumanity. The stresses that would kill most people don't kill a superhuman. Over time the chronically pained person transcends ordinary human life. Many people can't either fathom or follow the superhuman. The person who keeps pain knows pain and lives with pain. The long years of suffering this person lives with make him or her reluctant to bring pain to another creature. Just the sight of a luckless butterfly fluttering against the sides of a kid's glass specimen jar makes the empathetic person want to unscrew the lid and let the thwarted creature come out and experience liberation. I hypothesize that a child who is strong, vigorous, and ordinarily totally pain-free is not very sensitive to the suffering of other creatures. Such a typical child might well plunge a large rock into a pond of goldfish or use a pellet gun to blast a hole in the side of a neighbor's yowling cat. An older person who is continually in pain, however, feels an empathy and a sorrow for fluttering butterflies, yowling cats, and even crabby human individuals. Such a compassionate was Jiddu Krishnamurti. He was a super-human. Just think. A person's life free of pain is very short. Give thanks and try to enjoy every minute of your life! Now certainly there are robust and pain-free persons who live pain free for decades and who perform unusually impressive physical feats such as eating very little and working hard for hours a day. They may also be superior mentally! Here at the university where I spend many hours a day there are large numbers of robust and active young males and females. It is hard, however, to gauge their personal suffering. The hospital is on the other side of town. I do not go there often. (Knock on wood.) When a person feels a sudden onset of pain, he or she hopes the agony will soon go away. If the pain is severe, one can't concentrate on work and one focuses on the pain and how to be rid of it. If the pain doesn't go away, one hopes and prays that a good doctor will soon cure the trouble. If the doctor can't cure the trouble, one has to use some other method. In my case I sometimes have doctored myself. In 1978 and 1979 I was able to get more of my brain devoted to God and simply stated the God in me cured me. Skeptics argue that there is no evidence that God exists. There is evidence, however, that certain parts of the human brain alter their intrinsic activity and this alteration of brain activity is definitely strange to a person who hasn't grown up on God, so-to-speak. The new and mysterious brain activity has been difficult for people to explain, without using the word God. In this way it is like other natural phenomena which were hard for the ancients to explain, phenomena like eclipses, volcanic eruptions, and devastating floods. So the ancients just explained such events as acts of God. A sudden end of chronic debilitating pain might also be explained as an act of God, a miracle in fact. Chronically pained people would like to be able to use their brains to be well! Compassionate individuals would like to help chronically suffering people feel much better and be much happier once again! Imagine what it would be like if humanity learned how to work the brain in a special way, so as to feel superhuman in the sense of feeling God-like! Then people might well perform certain feats that presently seem impossible. Imagine superhuman mental powers, superhuman physical powers, and superhuman compassion! When integrated, what a blessing to the world all this human brain integration would be! Such knowledge might be a future consequence of the research presently being done by the scientists Andrew Newberg, Micheal Persinger, and Todd Murphy and other pioneer scientists who stay on their pioneer track despite little funding. In fact the sad fate of all pioneers seems to be the same. The wild frontier is always unpopular and dangerous. The dangerous and unpopular frontier is where the superhumans go. Because it is so unpopular, human progress is painstakingly slow. The fact is, superhumans are often considered dangerous people. Normal humanity, caught up in a pedagogical cult of the normal curve and rutted in a worrisome and worsening catch-22, is in desperate need of super-humanity. ------------ About the author: sixty-eight years of age, and still relatively vigorous in mind, body, emotions, and spirit, John L. Waters is an independent researcher on self-healing, integration, creativity, and unity.
