Have you ever dreamed about having super powers? Most likely if you
are anything like me you have fantasized about having extraordinary
abilities such as super strength or moving objects with your mind.
We have found 16 examples of people who claim to have developed some
extraordinary abilities. Perhaps we are evolving into a world of zero
limits.
1. X-Ray Vision
Natasha Demkina is
a Russian woman who claims to be able to see into peoples bodies. Just
like an X-ray machine she is able to detect problems inside of people
and diagnose them.
Natasha was a normal kid up until the age of ten according to her mother. At that age her abilities began to manifest.
“I was at home with my mother and suddenly I had a vision. I
could see inside my mother’s body and I started telling her about the
organs I could see. Now, I have to switch from my regular vision to what
I call medical vision. For a fraction of a second, I see a colorful
picture inside the person and then I start to analyze it.” says Demkina
2. Magnetic Body
Liew Thow Lin
is a man from Malaysia who can stick metal objects into his body.
Although scientists cannot detect anything going on with the magnetics
of his body he is able to hold and balance a unique amount of metal
objects on his skin.
3. Super Human Memory:
Daniel Temmet is able to memorize incredible amounts of information. For example he was able to
recite Pi up to 22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes on 14 March 2004.
Most Savants are not able to explain how they accomplish their
amazing abilities but Daniel is different. He explains that in his mind
every whole number up to 10,000 has its own unique texture, color,
shape and feel. This has helped him to remember things visually much
easier then the average person.
In his experience the visual image of 289 as very ugly,
333
is particularly attractive, and pi is beautiful. Perhaps this is how
the frequency of numbers and numerology work with the logical world.
4. No Need for Sleeping:
Imagine what life would be like if you didn’t need to sleep? I know
we would miss out on a lot of fun dreams but what could we accomplish?
Well
Al Herpin 
was a man who knew what that was like.
Al Herpin claimed to have a rare type of insomnia where he didn’t
need to sleep and at one point in his life had apparently been awake for
over 10 years. This attracted the attention of medical professionals
who investigated further.
They found no bed, or sleeping place in Al Herpin’s home. He claimed
to go to work and then sit in his rocking chair reading until it was
time to go to work the next day. He was found to be in good health and
also lived to the old age of 94.
5. Stomach of Steel:
Michel Lotito
was known for his ability to eat non-digestable objects without any bad
effects. He was seen to consume glass, metal, rubber and other
objects. Do not try this at home.
6. Super Language Abilities:

The average person on earth is estimated to only be able to speak 1
.69 languages.
Harold Williams, on the other hand was able to speak 58 different languages.
Harold was a normal kid until the age of 7 when he describes having an
‘Explosion in his brain’. After that he learned latin, which is the root to many languages, and couldn’t get enough.
He spent his life traveling the world going region by region learning all the languages he could.
7. Eagle Vision (20x more acute than the rest of us):
Veronica Seider holds the world record for being able to see the smallest object without assistance from technology.
In 1972 the University of Stuttgart, in then West Germany, reported
that one of their students; Veronica Seider had a visual acuity 20 times
better than average person. For example she could identify people at a
distance of more than a mile away (1.6 km).
The typical person would need a set of binoculars to be able to accurately accomplish that.
8. Sonar Vision (like Bats or Dolphins):

Ben Underwood is an extraordinary person with the ability to see using
Human Echolocation.
Ben lost his eyes to cancer and is completely blind. However, using a
series of clicking noises Ben is able to navigate the world around him.
Check out this awesome video about Ben transcending limitations and living a regular life.
9. High pain tolerance:

Now we have heard of people using meditation to ease the pains of child birth but
Tim Cridland has decided to use his high tolerance for pain as a means of performance and entertainment.
“There is nothing abnormal about me physically. Everything I’ve
done, I’ve trained myself to do. I’d say what I’m doing is demonstrating
some kind of extreme examples of what you can do with your mind and
combining that with your body. You could take the same techniques I use
to overcome pain and use them in your own life to inspire you to
persevere against the pains in life we all have to deal with.” Tim Cridland – Speaking in
Faze Magazine
10. Communicating with Animals:
Kevin Richardson is a south african animal behaviorist who had been accepted into several lion prides and clans of hyenas.
He has broken almost every safety rule in the book and says he
focuses more on intuition than traditional knowledge when it comes to
his interactions with these wild animals.
Imagine a world where we all lived in harmony with the animals around us.
11. Sensory Abilities and the Recognition of Music
Arthur Lintgen
is an american physicist who can look at phonograph records and
recognize the song. He says he is able to look at the grooves and
recognize the song recorded. He can also tell if the song is being
played loud or quiet based on his ability to focus in on the little
details of the records.
12. Human computer:
Shakuntala Devi was
a woman born in India with the natural ability to calculate numbers
beyond normal human abilities. Even at the very young age of 6 and
without formal training she was demonstrating her abilities to calculate
and memorize in the University of Mysore.
She has been tested many times and has been able to do all of these
calculations in her head. For example when she was tested at The
University of California Berkley where she was asked to accurately
calculate the
cube root of 61,629,875, and the seventh root of 170,859,375 she passed with flying colors.
13. Photographic Memory:
Stephen Wiltshire is a British architectural artist who can look at a landscape once and then draw it with perfect accuracy.
“He frequently draws entire cities from memory, based on double,
brief helicopter rides. For example, he produced a detailed drawing of
four square miles of London after a single helicopter ride above that
city. His nineteen-foot-long drawing of 305 square miles of New York
City is based on a single twenty-minute helicopter ride” -

14. Long Distance Running (100 miles, JUST FOR FUN.):

There is a group of natives in northwestern Mexico called the
Tarahumara
People who are known for their ability to run very long distances. The
Tarahumara word that they call themselves is Rarámuri which means
“runners on foot” or “those who run fast”.
They have reported to run 200 miles (320 km) in one session typically over a period of two days.

This isn’t the only case of people being able to run crazy long distances. There is a man named
Dean Karnazes who ran 350 miles (560 km) in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep in 2005.
15. Iceman
Wim Hof
is a man in his 50s who has pushed the limits of cold all over the
world. In the past 35 years have faced all kinds of challenges and holds
20 guinness world records.
He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Everest in shorts, broke
records by swimming under ice water, and ran half a marathon in the
desert without drinking.
Wim uses a
breathing meditation technique that makes it so he doesn’t feel the
cold in the same way we do. He claims it has enhanced his immune system
and that he doesn’t suffer any bad effects from this ice dips.
16. Super Human Reflexes
Isao Machii is a Japanese
Iaido master
who has the quickest reflexes in the world. He holds many world
records for his quick sword skills. Check out the video below to see
him attempt to cut a shot BB in half.
Perhaps the limits we think we have are just in our minds.
