Oh yeah, many times. We had visits by real Taoist monks who trained with our teacher (they are obviously much more advanced than us poor disciples) and they routinely did things like effortlessly lift extremely heavy objects (for brief periods of time) that were 2-3 times their own weight. A very popular Taoist exercise for advanced practitioners is to do a form with a ball made from granite. That ball easily weighs at least twice more than these monk dudes, yet they kept throwing it in the air rather effortlessly. Small dudes, no more than 5'5'' in height, visibly stronger than a 6'5'' dude in our group that struggled to even lift the ball from the ground.
That is incredible. There's a deep belief hidden inside most people (the ones that care) that the old stories of heros and wizards and mighty men are true. These people really did exist and they lived in much more rarefied times with higher voltage in the air and could do things we can only imagine. I believe men could shoot thunderbolts from their fingers and jump 20 meters and that is why it has stayed in the cultural lore. Dinosaurs and flying dragons...they were all real.
I think the electric discharge even that happened between earth and venus robbed us of more than just our memory (Velikovskys' planetary collective amnesia) and our sanity (Religion, child sacrifice, etc)....it robbed us of our magic.
