In western text's and esoteric practices there are things called siddhis, when one accesses them he can gain these kind of powers, yet they are extremely hard for a person to adapt to in our everyday life, I've decided myself not to indulge in these practices as they scare the living hell out of me.
Seeing it is one thing but doing it is freaking scary as hell!
Yep, i live in india so ive seen siddhi powers in action.. woww! Its not for everyone indeed ;)
