i think you are right on the fact that people have been known to do more than it looks as if there body can in times of need but i also think you are right anyone that jumps off sumut is going to go splat without help
Personally I have not heard of anyone changing their appearance or Morph. I may be way off base here but I saw this tv program where this man stood at the back of a line of people and with his mind pushed the line of people forward. These people said that they could feel something push them. I agree with you, I think that if someone believes they can grow fangs then feel them, it is all in their mind. Again I may be way off base, but I'm trying.
Well the inhuman strength you referred to is caused by opening a small puch under your abdomen which gives you an incredible charge of adrenaline energy...In martial Arts one learns to manipulate this...He who is skilled enough will be able to open this pouch whenever he/she wants...This technique is used by Ninjas a lot...Now under the circumstances you have mentioned above.....for the love of her son,her brain would have triggered some signal which accidently opened the pouch..A lot of these cases has happened...Among the Athlete's its called second wind i believe....I think its impossible to morph one's physical body into any shape....
For the human body to morph into such a fashion would imply that the person their self was not entirely human. The arrangement of the atomic structure of the bones and such would command a total ability to generate the physical persona. Every atom in every bone would have to spped up and rearrange shape.
More likely it is a mental transformation as seen from a split perspective of the individuals mind.
Agreed but how can human beings change their form by sheer will?Its impossible for one to morph into a wolf or any other animal in my knowledge.....The body structure alone is so different....
Do correct me if i'm wrong....
Gautham,
I have yet to believe that it has happened, but taking something from another thread- Spontanious human combustion, in theory, should be impossible, yet it happens, without warning or reason.
Consider that an unconcious exercise of will, transposes itself onto the will of the physical with an impulse of energy so great, it causes violent reaction within the cellular structure of the body.
A few things may happen- Nothing but a buzz. A mutation. An outburst of energy, with heat as the by product. An uncontrollable change. A controllable change.
Would it not be fun to suppose that taking all of these into consideration, an awakened vampire, if such beings truly are, with a will strong enough to recognise itself and its potential, could accept into itself a massive influx of energy, its purpose intended to manipulate the physical and energetic forms of the being in a synchronious fashion, giving rise to an immediate re-arrangement of said forms?
very interesting thoughts STABB666
I believe that the body can change by believe in it being a certain way...but it's hard to believe that a full transformation could actually happen
I think the only people who can transform into animals are shamans, i just can not believe that people who could transform into an animal are going to come out and tell you that they can, because they would be in danger, so my theory is if someone can transform into an animal form then you will never know it, because they will be smart enough not to tell you...
i do not beleive that a person can morph into anything, but i also agree with stabb here as well on the idea that most anything can happen whether we see it or not.
The human body cannot "morph." For a body to take another shape requires a massive rearrangement in a humans DNA. Just a small mutation in a humans DNA, ie: growing fangs will kill them.
I think it's possible to gain a trait of their familiar for a certain period of time...but only when absolutely needed...like in danger. But I have not physically see it in person, though I know people who's eye color changes based on mood...like one color when angry, another when happy. But they aren't actually controlling it to happen. It just does.
i dont believe anyone can change into any type of creature,only in their imagination,thats what i think though :D
It's an interesting question, that of whether or not a person can "change" their physical appearance. If we are talking literally, then check this out; it has been documented in some cases of multiple personality disorders (there is actually a new term for this phenomena, but I can't at present recall what that is) where, when one personality comes forward, the facial features will shift slightly. Not in a supernatural, now-I'm-a-wolf way, but in a I'm-a-different-person-and-I-carry-myself-differently way.
Those who feel they "change" at times may be interested in looking here.
This has a lot of interesting info itself, as well as plenty of links to other sites with more information. If you feel this coincides with what is happening to you, you may wish to consider seeing a doctor. Or not. Some choose to stay away from doctors.
This is to Stabb...
I agree with you.....Spontaneous human combustion may create certain notable changes within the human body....But it has not yet been recorded or proved that it may lead to inhuman strength....In the static fire hypothesis it states that static electricity sometimes build up to such dangerous levels that it may ignite the clothes that one wear...sometimes even creating a thinlayer of light around him/her....
But this thread has been opened to ask whether a person morphs or rather does one morph into something else while performing super human strength....
I don't think one can associate spontaneous human combustion and superhuman strength as the former creates a shock due to static electricity which is not strange at all because the human body itself is like a battery....and the latter deals with a sudden discharge of energy and stamina to perform miraculous feats.....This is just my opinion...
Would it not be fun to suppose that taking all of these into consideration, an awakened vampire, if such beings truly are, with a will strong enough to recognise itself and its potential, could accept into itself a massive influx of energy, its purpose intended to manipulate the physical and energetic forms of the being in a synchronious fashion, giving rise to an immediate re-arrangement of said forms?
And Dammit Stabb you sure have a way with words....I have nothing but respect for you...
Damn when am i gonna write something fancy like that...Heh hee
the mind is a very powerfull thing, it can over come alot fo things and destroy as much as create, so its possibilities to makes us changes, in any form or way is mostly probable
Hmmmm?I was just thinking.....Hollwood's persona of vampires and human spontaneous combustion....The vampires die by erupting into flames,in spontaneous human combustion more or less the same thing happens....Hmmmm?Interesting thought eh?
And please do not deviate from the thread...This is just a thought and there is no need to reply to this particular post...Please do not sway from the topic discussed above.....
In my experience changing ones physical appearance always needs a surgeon. Changing the way one is perceived though is mostly a matter of body language.
As far as for women lifting cars off somebody and other stories like that, that's no physical change.
That's a matter of hormones, adrenalin mostly, which is triggered by a panic/stress reaction. That's not a super human feat, on the contrary it does a lot of damage to the human body on a cellular level ...
As for the rest, it's probably just a question of:
I don't mind, and you don't matter.
;->
human mind is a fantastic thing...
and as we use just 10 procent of it all..maybe some got further than just that...
I believe you can change yourself physically in the way you see yourself in your minds eye. Im very comfortable in my body. I see myself as very lean and muscular with sharp angular features and that is what I am because I have pictured myself this way. In fact you learn from birth, raised as a wolf you would behave and gain the senses of one. Your body would also adapt. Its proven. Research "wolf children". The time for the changes is why we cant understand this completely.
I agree with SarraS on this one.
Saying nothing is impossible will only lead to ....try striking a match on a jelly lol
that using ten percent of out brains thing is a myth. it was surmised about forty years ago when we didnt know much about how the brain works. subsequent research and activity scans shows that we use about 70% of our brain. the other 30% is for watching TV i guess
I do not think that people can change into another creature or significantly morph. However, as Arunima has stated those with multiple personality disorders can change slightly the carriage and projection of self when different personalities take over. I have seen it happen.
But a thought just crossed my mind....is this really any different than when actors portray someone totally opposite themselves? They take on the persona of another and become that character..if only for a short time, and with the aid of makeup. But still for that short time they ARE the character or else it would not be believable for us who watch.
Yes, I beleive that ppl can do anything with their mind, with their brain, with the pure energy wich flows trough it, just it seems like ppl need long time to understand what their vessel actually is and what it contains, how much power,potential, knowledge, for what it is capable for, for anything it can imagine, othervies it wouldnt be able to imagine it at all.....
I doubt that mortal humans can morph into some other creature but I don't discount the possibility that there may be species posing as human that can do this.
I have heard of situations where in extreme cases of life or death for a person, or someone around them, they can have ‘super human abilities’.
I think that is a case of you being able to get past your normal physical or psychological limitations and operate at peak performance. I think many people have an inner strength, even a rage, that they do not express every day but given the right circumstances it will come throigh
hmm. do you think if a doctor or scientist were to expose himself to gamma radiation he might be able to tap into that ability. so whenever he gets angry or outraged, a terrible transformation takes place, and he becomes.....
Oh no, not The Hulk!! Karnstien...i was just thinking that lol
As for the question posed, I don't believe 'normal' human beings can actually change their phyisical form other than what's already been mentioned by other's above me *bows*. Although by someboby who trained to achieved deep states of meditation it may be possible to take on certain charateratics or of course someone who grew about around animals as already mentioned.
i do not think that the whole body can change but i have been tolled my eye color chane with my mood.
i also think that if you mind is strong enough a you truely believe you will act and take on charateristics of what you believe you are, but your apperance will not change.
I would say research is your best option here...there numerouse cases of persons demenstrating things such as you discussed...there are also other areas to look into...women making thier bodies believe they are pregnant, and the body reacts as if it is.(belly, lactation, stopping of the menstal cycle) and what about the manafestation of the psychological abilities on top of all of the rest of this...Again research, research, research...333
The extra strength is medical the andrenial gland. Like a mother lifting a car to save her child. I don't see or have ever heard of transforming into another being. Thier have been cases when a person posessed has taken on different facial features.
I DO BELIVE IT IS TRUE ~
like the one above me said
BELIVE IT U CAN BE IT!!!!!!
well then I'm going to believe I am the queen of England...the only place that works is in your head.
Hello all I myself have changed, but not at my will.... It would be more attributed to age and gravity!
Dont believe in morphing but super human strength can happen when adrenilin pumps through your body.
When you are little your body grows, and your bones strech, then they stop when your an adult, that is a form of morphing, whats to say that someone can not morph/grow into a different form very quickly...
when it comes to changing form into another animal unless you are reading a good fiction book about a werewolf I dont think anyone could ever believe that someone in the real world could change into anything else at all. when it comes to gaining or losing a trait that is more the chance of the only way that a change might happen with a person.
i don't think people can change into an animal but i do believe agree with the fact that all other things are possible if that makes any sense :)
I have hard to belive humans can change into animal fysical but psycical maybe it can work. After all arent humans a animal in some ways
In my opinion anything is possible. If all of man kind can come from apes, it shows we are evolving and growing all the time. So why couldn't we have these abilities. My eyes change colour with my moods so that means if I concentrate long enough I can change my eye colour to suit myself.
I don't think so. But taking on some of the skills and abilities of and animal can happen.
I don't know of any cases where it has gone that far but i have a book called a witches guide to phsyic healing where it sites cases of hypnosis where a subject touched with a pencil eraser was told it was a lit ciggerette and a blister formed .
for the one who said she had never heard any one say that they could morph into another creature ... read more profiles dear and watch the vamp box lol ..
*shudders at the thought of the one eyed limping werewolf* egads .. lol
now ... seriously ...
no i dont believe that humans can physically, instantly change their body form .. all this mish mash about the changes a body makes throughout life.. come on .. thats not even on topic .. of course OVER TIME we grow and change and evolve .. thats a HELL of a lot different then some ..
*morphs into a pure white wolf with black markings and wings and floats effortlessly up into the rafters* ... lol ..
do i WISH it were true .. well hell yeah .. who wouldnt like to morph into some splendid creature with all sorts of preternatural abilities ...
as i posted in another thread that i just came from .. i need to see something to believe it ... maybe not PERSONALLY .. but at least some COLD HARD PROOF ...
as with the mother who has lifted the burning car off her child ... i can wrap my mind around that easily .. as there have been several documented cases over the years (did she turn green?? i dont think so lol)
so .. on that note ....
*morphs into a solid white dragon with glittery purple wings and swamp green eyes and lifts self into the air seconds before simply disappearing in a whisp of smoke*
sorry . but i HADDA !!!!
While there are many unexplainable things that happen in life, I do not believe that humans are capable of morphing. Not in the aspect of just willing something to happen. There are diseases that change the human body for the worse. I would think that people with these diseases would give anything to change what has happened to them and would wish more than anything in the world to change, but you rarely see cases where they are "magically" healed.
I do believe that people have found " super human " strength in times of dire need. I.E. a mother who has a child trapped under a car. I don't believe this could be considered morphing though, because it's not a lasting change.
this is taken from wikipedia.com
"In Native American and Norse legend, a skin-walker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal he or she desires. Similar creatures can be found in numerous cultures' lores all over the world, closely related to beliefs in werewolves (also known as lycanthropes) and other "were" creatures (which can be described as therianthropes). The Mohawk Indian word "limikkin" is sometimes used to describe all skin-walkers. It is also known as the Yenaldooshi"
Many cultures have belived there were people such as "skinwalkers" who could transform in to anything.
I do not believe that people can turn into wolfs, unicorns, monkeys, bears, or other creatures. Call me a cynic but until I see it happen, I am liable to think it is merely myth.
However, under duress, I do believe people can become stronger physically and emotionally. When adreneline is at full force, people's physical capabilities are stretched.
ive always wanted to learm more about mind over matter but the things ive heard im not too sure if they are things that have actually happined or if it was all fake
where could i learn more about it???
I have heard many similar stories over the years. A classic is where a truck was on fire with the driver trapped inside and rescue impossible. Someone comes forward and tears the door off the cab and saves the driver's life. It is later revealed the hero lost their family in a fire as a child. I have never personally witnessed true morphing or physical changes in any one per se. Do not really know if they take place.
i can change my eye color on demand.
thats as far as i have gotten.....
im working on the pain reduction right now, it's woring, but slightly.
like, everytime i get hit in the back, i feel it less now, ot snapped by rubnber bands...they dont hurt me
he is right on the norse myth of the skin walker or berserker
shape shifters have been around for centuries and in many cultures
The mind is a powerful thing. I don't think it's my place to say such things couldn't happen though I haven't personally seen anything like this with my own eyes.
I have never heard of anyone ever morphing into a fantasy creature or their familiar. I do know though that people can gain diffrent abillities depending on the situation.
Yes..I known a friend of mine she changes her eye colors on demand in front my eyes.
It is easily possible truly yes
I believe the human brain is an extremely powerful tool, but most people choose just to exist without using it to the fullest extent. Anything is possible!
this would be awsome to change or watch some one else change but i dont see it happening but the thing is theres some pretty weired shit that happens so you really dont know this is something where i have to see it to believe it......
yes i am the same way..i know it is true but you have to show me ..
I have heard of people gaining 'super strength' to life cars off of people and do amazing things in traumatic situations. I have not heard of people actually morphing or changing their appearance they way you describe it. I'm not saying it can't heppen...I've just never heard about it or seen it.
I believe the stories where people get strength when the situation calls on it because i believe something like physical strength is partcially in your mind.
I do not believe people morph although some people are born physically different then others and some chose to change their physical appearance
The human body has the ability to change it`s form(even the bones can take different shape in certain illness).
The only condition for someone to change it`s shape is his capacity to induct conscient changes to it`s DNA or just influence some tissues at a microscopic level.
That is a mistery for the moment but the future can bring us help in this matter.some microcips at cellular level will give us the ability to change parts of our body in certain limits.
I have heard of people having super strength at certain time but not changing body shape.
When it comes to full body shifting.. i.e., into a wolf or something else... I have to say no. Such an extreme physical change is highly unlikely to me.
But as far as changing minor things, or augementing physical ability.. HELL YES. I personally have a couple of War Stories where I managed to get through situations unscathed, and without anything broken that should have(in one case above all others) broken me.
Even more so, I've witnessed peoples facial features shift somewhat when they were in a mood, and know damn well that many people can change their eye color. Nothing glowing, or flourescent.. but certainly to colors that were not their natural one.
I've never personally witnessed anyone growing fangs, extending claws, or anything like that. A.) I don't believe that everyone else around them would allow their reality to be warped enough to make way for such a drastic change. B.) Most people themselves, while they may wish that such things were possible, hardly believe in them enough to exert the force of Will it would take to manifest such a change.
Thats my take. =D
I dont think anyone can phyically change themselves into another being or animal even if the moon was full or not I just dont think it could happen.
In a Life or Death Situation the Body Defense Mechanisms Produce a Whole lot of Energy create a overpowering surge of Power which them many times enables the individual to be able to something they normally would not be able to do like Lift a Car up off a Child ... One time in my career of NUrsing i had a PAtient whom was being put in a Mechanical wheelchair and just before doing so i noticed the wheel was not connected the chair correctly to fix this i squatted down in fear of this Woman falling and getting hurt and lifted the chair and the Woman up and ordered my partenr to put the wheel back on.. i was able to complete this task but afterwards i did injure my back pretty badly and was put out of work but the ability was there from that over abundence of strength within and i saved that patient from injury
People have told me that when i am mad my eyes actually change shapes and color but i have never went and looked in the mirror to confirm it so i dont really know
i have yet to see some one morph but that does not mean it exsists as of right now i would say no but i do think it is possible for people to have features of other beings in times of stress or need. i know for a fact that my eye color changes with my mood from a really light green to an almost blue black and that is when i am looking for someone to prey on
physically i do not change but my attitude will and personality sometimes more.and it may be possible for ppl to actually morph but i have yet to c it but i wuldnt doubt it
well I do not believe a human can morph yet the mind is a powerful thing and who is to say as each generation changes that at some point and time that it may become possible. they say do not uderestimate the power of suggestion or the mind...
*laughs* Yes, It is. My ex boyfriend has a shapeshifter at night a few years ago, outside of his apartment having a cigarette & he seen a person gone behind the bush change into something I couldn't what kind of animal i think it was bear or squirrel. none of his friends has not believe they thought he was joking around. the way he sound he was so convincing. I believe he see one
I tend to think more like Vampirelove...
i think it's more of thought pattern and characteristics displayed.
My WOlf Unleashed is most Dominant part of me.
physically changing for me seems to be hard and i would only think if possible such an individual would have to be quite gifted but i do think that one can change their characteistic nature of being to something other than what they are in which they in their mind and actions can emulate such characteristics wich might be able to transend such characteristics spiritually in a way that well mind over matter.
"reality by nature is stranger than fiction"
I have never seen it, nor do I believe it can be achieved.
According to science its still impossible to change a dna sequence that can be manipulated to achieve change
eye color change on cue... haven't dealt with that one yet.
my eyes do change depending on what my emotional state is... extreme anger is when my eyes turn golden yellow but that's about the extent that i've had.
i personally don't know about all the physical shapeshifting... i think it is more mental than anything. spiritual shapeshifting is a definite easy thing to believe for me, mainly because it's something i can do. but to actual change physical attributes by will alone seems a little overdoing it and sounds too hollywood to me.
I changed my eye color. I used to have dark brown eyes, wanted green eyes. Now I am stuck with kind of an olive color. Seems it only works so well.
as i've said before all people have inner power controlled by the spirit and the mind, learning therefor to control it anything in your mind is possible.
I'm not really sure what I think about this. I was going to say that I didn't believe physical transformations could come from mere thought alone, but I do believe that one can cure themselves of disease if they desire it enough. That would be changing physically, wouldn't it? So now I have to re-think my earlier opinion. Perhaps if someone was strong enough mentally and thought on it long enough and hard enough, they could change their physical appearance.
I think this would take a tremendous amount of mental strength though. Much more than Joe Schmo would have. I think it would take a considerable amount of time too.
Very interesting question. It's a brain tickler. ;) I can't wait to see what others say on this topic.
I do believe that it is possible to change appearance, and believing it's not the word i would like to say... it is more like, i do know that it's possible... but must of us tend not to believe in what one can not see... some weeks ago i post a thread saying that supernatural vampires are mentioned in the bible, and some members simply try to discrediting me, cause of that... well, i got a better one... in the bible is related that God as turned the king of Babylon into an animal for one year (if i remember well), hair as grown in all of is body, and he started to eat grass and walked like an animal... yes, i know, there are some amazing stories in the bible, like Jesus walking on the water, but remember that also Peter walked on the water... the fire did not consume the three friends of Daniel, and so on... ah, but that it's not true... is it not? who can actually confirm that it's not? anyone of us had ever been there, to make such claims?
one thing i know, almost anyone in this site does not believe in the existence of supernatural vampires, and make the excuse that those beings are fruit of our imagination or fantasies from hollywood movies... the bible was written 2000 years ago and backward, vampires are known many years before we ever dreamed that the magical box could ever exist... today we call them diseases and fantasies, but many years ago, they know what they were, and they don't doubted of such powers... my grandmother told me that she have seen a werewolf sixty years ago, i prefer to believe in the bible and in my grandmother...
metamorphosis is possible...
I don't think it is possible to really morph your whole self but my eyes change all the time depending on my mood and I know someone that when he is made his eyes go completely black. So I am thinking that some form of change is possible.
hmmm..... Do I feel as though people can actually morph their physical appearance.... in theory anything is possible.... allthough im not claiming that it is probable...
I tend to side with it's possible. I've seen some amazing things and feel certain that there are more out there.
I think its all mind over matter. The mind can and probably never really will be fully understood!! So its possible
I think a majority of those stories are just stories. I can see strength appearing as a superhuman ability but I don't think it is possible to just change your appearance just like that. The only that I think will happen if you try to is you giving yourself a headache. Thinking about something repeatedly doesn't make it happen.
I don't think it's possible for anyone to morph like that, but I do agree with the point you made about people seeing the change because that's the thought that's embedded in their mind.
I think that they may not be able to shapshift but they may have a problem in the brain like say split personality, its already been documented that some people who have split personality have been known to have their faces change depending on who they are. For example Cycbil who had 40 or more personalities was known to have facial changes to match her personality, if she was a guy then her face seemed to take on the harsher build of a man and her voice would sound just like a mans, if she was an old crone then her whole face would droop and she would move and act and talk like and old lady. So though they may not be able to shift in the way most people think when they hear the word morph or shapshifter it does not mean that they cant do it
I believe even our thoughts and values in our upbringings can affect our bodies. We are able yo force certain attributes upon ourselves, we will ourselves taller etc tec
I'm not hundred percent sure, though if it was something extreme I think we could do anything.
The extra strength, I can see that. but changing your apearence, there is just no way to morph like that.
I would tend to agree that the atomic level of control is impossible tochange apprearance. It seems beyond the scope of human capability. And as far as the hormone dump to make people stronger that is a natural thing and can be explained easily.
