I'm not sure about "more likely" I lean towards the idea that yogic flying is some sort of brain/body togetherness that lets you tap into hidden energy. The only reason I'd go that far is because I could always do it without getting out of breath, but am we kidding ourselves? It would be piss easy to demonstrate but I don't remember reading it had been done. It doesn't matter how far you "fly" but whether you travel in a parabolic curve, in ten years I never saw anyone even remotely break the laws governing bodies moving through the air. I saw some who had perfected the hop to the point of physical poetry. Surely after thirty years they, at least, would be airborne. > Unless you've experienced Yogic Flying, it's probably > not a great idea to make suggestions about what's > really happening. > I don't know if anyone listened to the radio clip about yogic flying I posted earlier but it's interesting for a few reasons: it doesn't mention the ME and it doesn't claim that yogic flying is the first stage of levitation. I think that is the best you can say about it at the moment. I always hope the optimists are right and we end up levitating because it means I already know how to do it! I'm not going to hold my breath though. I think the laws of physics are safe.
