BILOCATION

'Bilocation', sometimes 'multilocation', or astral projection is a term used to describe the ability/instances in which an individual or object is said to be, or appear to be, located in two distinct places at the same instant in time.

Bilocation is said to be a physical, rather than spiritual, phenomenon, and a person experiencing it is supposedly able to interact with their surroundings as normal, including being able to experience sensations and to manipulate physical objects exactly as if they had arrived through natural means. In most instances, bilocation is said to be involuntary and not to have been directed by the individual concerned in terms of time or space.
The generally accepted scientific theories of physics provide no mechanism by which bilocation of macroscopic objects could occur.

Reported instances of bilocationism


Several Christian saints and monks are said to have exhibited bilocation. In one instance, in 1774, St. Alphonsus Liguori is said to have gone into a trance while preparing for Mass. When he came out of the trance he reported that he had visited the bedside of the dying Pope Clement XIV. His presence is then said to have been confirmed by those attending the Pope despite his being 4 days travel away, and not appearing to have left his original location. Other Christian figures said to have experienced it include St. Anthony of Padua, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, St. Severus of Ravenna, St. Ambrose of Milan and St. Martin de Porres, as well as Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria, Egypt.
The English occultist Aleister Crowley was reported by acquaintances to have the ability, even though he himself was not conscious of its happening at the time. [1]
There are also sub-bilocationists, which are people who practice the art of bilocationism.
