X-Ray Vision
Kuda Bux, an Indian mystic promoted himself as "The Man With X-Ray Eyes." Financially he was self-sufficient. He went around paying for ads in local newspapers to announce his free public demonstrations of X-ray vision. These demonstrations would be performed at lecture halls which he also rented himself. He did not sell things to those in attendance, nor did he make any big fuss over what he was doing. This was not a money making venture of any kind for him. He sought no profit. His sole motivation was to reach out to the common man in the street and demonstrate this message "that people have a far greater potential and
range of faculties than they realize"
Many audience members asked him over the years "How can you see?"
Kuda Bux would explain to them "I can due to the power of my concentration. I bring my attention to a finer level of my vision. It's my power of concentration." Kuda Bux paused briefly and then stated, "My back was broken in three places. Doctors said that I would never walk again. With my concentration I was able to heal myself. I have no problem walking now," he asserted.
"Can this work for blind people?" someone asked.
Kuda Bux replied, "I had once stated that this could help blind people. But, I am correcting my statement. This is not a solution for blind people." This is because blind people have purposes for being blind. It is something 'chosen' at a deeper than conscious level.
"Can anyone learn to do this?" others asked?
"Yes, you can develop your power of concentration by gazing at the gap between a flame and the candle. Do this just a few seconds at first," he explained. "After some time you will be able to do this for much longer. It will take about twenty years of daily practice to get results." Because of the unique position we are in at this time on Earth, with the quickening of consciousness coming more and more to the fore it is not going to take us that much time to make that much progress. Take heart, you will develop in time to make the differences you need to.
During the 1930's and 40's Kuda Bux gave stage performances all over the world claiming his eyeless sight was due to his skill in yoga after decades of intense practice.
In 1934 he obliged a team of experts and scientists by permitting them to seal his eyes shut with dough, tinfoil, gauze and layers of woolen bandages. He astounded them by being able to read from books placed in front of him.
In 1935, in front of an audience of scientists from the University of London Council for Psychical Research and some news reporters, Kuda Bux demonstrated fire-walking, another of his exceptional abilities. He walked across a twelve foot pit of burning coals unscathed. Bux's feet were checked before and after the firewalking to verify that no protective chemicals were used. It was a windy day and the surface temperature of the fire was measured at 806 degrees Fahrenheit. The body of the fire was measured at 2,552 degrees Fahrenheit which is hot enough to melt steel. After Kuda Bux's firewalking through the coals, a cameraman who had fumbled in taking photographs, asked for a retake. Kuda Bux obliged by repeating the firewalk.
In 1937 , he amazed onlookers in Liverpool by walking the entire length of a narrow ledge of a roof 200 feet above the ground while blindfolded as before. In 1938, in Montreal, Canada scientists also conducted experiments on Bux's claim to X Ray vision and confirmed his ability to see while blindfolded.
In 1945 , Kuda Bux skillfully rode a bicycle through congested New York's Times Square while his eyes were taped shut. Kuda Bux even starred in his own CBS series as Kuda Bux, Hindu Mystic. During this time he gave demonstrations in mind reading as well as eyeless vision. He also appeared on the Johnny Carson show , leaving his audience and Johnny flabbergasted with his demonstration. Two books have been written about his extraordinary feats and, about the many experiments that were conducted on him by researchers.
Kuda Bux was born as Khudah Bukhsh in 1906 in Kashmir. He passed away February 5, 1981. He had a very pleasant Indian wife who traveled with him in support of his mission.
