The electromagnetic feild in the human body does seem to be affected 
by the use of mental visualization. The body, in turn, does have an 
effect on wires and vice-versa, a current can be passed through the 
body. The problem is, such experiments can be lethel. 

The safest bet is to work with some safe medium, using a transformer 
to convert the electrical currents emanating from the body into 
another propagating medium. Than have another transformer re-
converting it back to electrical currents on the other end. Much like 
the way radio works. Say, do you think this is what Damodar did 
(using another set of vibrating currents?)

In terms of What is Rupa? I think what you may be talking about is 
the Etheric Double. The Mental Model would need to be made into a 
Kamic Model and then into an Etheric one - how do you suppose that's 
done?

Anyway, I don't buy that mind over matter stuff, yet I do think that 
the Damodar incident (and the teacup) may be possible. Television 
moves entire pictures. There may be an etheric wavelenth that can 
carry entire etheric doubles. It all must come down to science if 
it's to make any kind of sense, a science still waiting to be 
discovered but perhaps is right now only known to a few like Damodar 
and HPB (though it's possible to operate a TV set without knowing how 
it works.)
