Flurgenspurg Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Someone told me once that you could kill yourself using just your mind. I think there could be some truth to this, there are people who can control their heartbeats. What do you think? How much power does the mind have?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 That usually requires an external tool to kill yourself with. We're talking mental suicide -- "look, ma, no hands!"
thedarkshade Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 All right then, you could just stop breathing!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Indeed. You'll pass out and begin to breathe again. Breathing is a reflex, and it's hard to suppress when you're unconscious.
gonelli Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 you could stop eating though! Now that would take some serious mind power!
iNow Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 It'd be faster to stop drinking liquids than to stop eating... Ghandi went wtihout eating for pretty significant periods, as have others, and he didn't die.
thedarkshade Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 OK Flurgenspurg, so what exactly did you hear, that you call it mind power, because there are many ways to 'send yourself to heaven'?!
antimatter Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 wow. just wow. There are however some Tibetan monks that have extremely powerful mind power and can actually raise or lower temperature in their own bodies.
