When on a course, I was told by the TM teacher running it that MMY levitates everyday but never does it in public because he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who could fly. This guy talked a lot of crap that weekend including an assertion that the TMO had invented a device that could read brainwaves from a distance and they once did an experiment in which some sidhas did their prog in a backroom of a restuarant and when someone came in they would be able to measure the effects the sidhis were having on his brain! I bought him up on this at and a few other things at lunch one day and he got in a right mood and never spoke to me again.
