YOUR SAY: Superpowers?

I'm sure all of us have at least once thought that it would be cool to have superpowers. But do they exist? There are some people who affirm that they do. I''m talking about psychic abilities.

You've probably heard about them, but you may not know that there are a lot more than the famous telepathy, which consists in the ability of exchanging thoughts, feelings, memories or sensations with another individual using your mind. There is also telekinesis, the ability of moving things with just the will of your mind. Here there's a list of nearly all of psychic abilities, and I thought it would be interesting to comment on some of them and what would I do if I had that ability.

Let's start with Astral projection. This is based on the belief that humans have two bodies: one that's physical and another, the astral body, that is spiritual. People who have Astral projection are able to separate their astral body from their physical one and "travel" with it in a spiritual way. Well, I'm sorry to say this, but if I had Astral projection I don't think that I'd pay much attention to my teachers at eight in the morning. I'd rather travel with my astral body to anywhere else but highschool. I would also go to more parties, those that my mother wouldn't let me go to, and I'd sneak into the cinema to watch films without paying.

Then I've chosen Aura reading, the ability to perceive the energy fields surrounding people, things and places (as it says on the list I've linked above). An aura is an energy that something or someone sends from the inside of them to the outside. This means that if you have Aura reading you can know what are their feelings towards you or the situation. I'd totally use this, specially with my mom and sister, who are very moody. But I'd also know when someone's mad at me, annoyed or sad, and those are things that I could help to solve.

And last but not least, Apportations. This is the ability of materialising or teletransporting something from one place to another. I think that this is a very useful aptitude. I am very forgetful so it would be perfect for me. Also, I would go to a lot of places I've never been to. I could travel all around the world!

But I don't think that this psychic abilities are real. Maybe some of them could be one day, because it is a known fact that we just use a part of our brain's total capacity.

I came up with the idea of this post because I've recently seen a movie called Chronicle, and I really liked it. Here you have a video of the film where you can see telekinesis!
