Portland, OR -- A geophysicist claims he was able to use mind control to stop a life-threatening blizzard.

Roger Hart lived through a life-or-death situation where he was hiking in Tierra del Fuego and was caught in a blizzard.

He and his hiking companions feared the worst until one suggested they use visualization techniques to will the storm away. Hart says they tried it, and within 10 minutes the storm had stopped, allowing them to escape to safety.

The experience compelled him to research what had happened, and, after much skepticism, he wrote the book "The Phaselock Code" (Paraview) in which he formulates that "the human brain works like a computer, but has a wireless connection to nature," that allows our species to control nature.

Although Hart still practices the visualization technique, he says he's never duplicated the success he had in Tierra del Fuego. Nevertheless, he believes there will be a time in the future when -- in his words -- there will be brain programming tailor-made for humans."
