I mean, sure, but that'd be like saying I'm pulling the earth towards me when I jump.

You don't have to jump, you're already doing it. Some of us more than others... *Looks in mirror and hangs head

If you have ever done a handstand then you have lifted over your head the weight that the entire mass of the earth has in your own gravitational field.

Isn't that canceled out by the pushing you do when you start to jump?

Yeah, but then I pull it back as I'm falling.
