BILOCATION


Bilocation is the appearance of an individual in two places simultaneously. What exactly occurs in the phenomenon of bilocation is uncertain. The prevailing theory suggests that it is a projection of a double. In appearance to others the double may appear to be a solid physical form, or may be ghostly. Usually this double acts strangely and mechanically and does not acknowledge others when spoken to.

Although it is uncommon, bilocation is an ancient phenomenon. It is claimed to have been experienced, and even practiced by will, by mystics, ecstatics, saints, monks, holy persons, and magical adepts. Several Christian saints and monks were adapt at bilocation such as St. Anthony of Padua, St. Ambrose of Milan, St. Severus of Ravenna, and Padre Pio of Italy. In 1774, St. Alphonsus Maria de’Ligouri was seen at the bedside of the dying Pope Clement XIV, when in fact the saint was confined to his cell in a location that was a four-day journey away.

The Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg was also said to have exhibited bilocation. The English occultist Aleister Crowley was reported by acquaintances to have the ability, even though he himself was not conscious of it happening at the time.[1]
Another story involves a religious sister (nun) appearing to Native Americans in the American west. (See Maria de Agreda.)
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. The generally accepted scientific theory of physics provides no mechanism by which bilocation of macroscopic objects could occur. Interestingly, subatomic particles are known to bilocate, thus the phenomena may be a matter of scale.

A pioneer psychical researcher, Frederic W. H. Myers, one of the founders of the Society for Psychical Research in England, along with others collected and studied reports of bilocation, however the phenomenon has received little interest in modern times.
