Eight serial photographs of levitation (April, 1983)

Naruse quotes, "This photo is taken in the most relaxed manner. The timing of this photo was just when I sat on 'a very thin air film (layer)' and my waist just started sinking onto it. You may feel how comfortable I am on this air film. This photo left nothing to be desired in regards to levitation. I am sure that it is going to be the last photo of my levitation."

How he levitate?
It is to use instantaneously prana, or vital energy permeating the universe. Place one's conscious on the destination point for floating. According as the amount of consciousness increases, existential reversal takes place and the physical self becomes evacuated. Then, the physical body gets attracted toward the consciousness which has been already shifted to the destination. One can thus levitate.
