Bilocation
From Free net encyclopedia
Bilocation is the ostensibly supernatural act of appearing or being in two or more locations simultaneously.
In Christianity, is said to take place through an act of God, typically to effect the conversion and baptism of the worthy who will not be reached by missionaries in time.
The Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg and the Italian priest Saint Pio of Pietrelcina were said to exhibit bilocation.
Another story involves a religious sister (nun) appearing to Native Americans in the American west.
Icelandic sagas also speak of warriors who were able to fall into a trance and appear thousands of miles away in battle.
Some people (such as Robert Peterson) who claim to practice astral projection (the act of inducing an OBE) describe existing in more than one (non-physical) location at once.
Several indian gurus have been reported at several locations at the same time in waking state, or seen sleeping somewhere while awake and active at another location. Some texts also depict a phenomenon where more than one copy of the subject could be seen. Some people claim to have witnessed such phenomenon before their very eyes. No rational explanation or proof exist to support these claims.
