Mirin Dajo

So in an interview with Thomas Campbell I listened to recently, the interviewer mentioned this guy, Mirin Dajo. Mirin Dajo was a guy who tried to prove that reality is not physical by claiming that swords could be stuck through him and removed as if nothing happened.

He eventually died, possibly to a complication related to swallowing a pointy object and for once, his abilities did not work as intended.

Doctors today who obviously don't believe in the paranormal say he did it by slowly creating tunnels of scar tissue through his body. But that seems rather hard to believe when you see the dagger he passed through his chest at 12:53...

But who knows?

 That was a great interview. Here is a previous post on the interview as well. It's a shame they could only get to 4 questions answered, the interviewer had planned on asking 10. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_consciousness/new_thomas_cambell_and_neil_kramer_interview-t36622.0.html
I found another video on Youtube.com where he was lanced again, but this time was running through a field with the sword still in him. The amazing thing was the lack of any blood once they took the sword out of him.
