Why? Clearly, reading this fairy tale has convinced you that not only do human beings have the ability to zap through space at faster-than-lightspeed and go to other planets, but that's what the "hidden agenda" of Maharishi's buttbouncing program was. Sounds to me a lot like reading the Harry Potter books and deciding that your dick is "really" a magic wand and that taking it out of your pants and waving it around will cause real magic to happen. :-) John, I'm simply making the point that you are so immersed in these fantasies of yours and so completely unaware that they *are* fantasies that you say things in public that IMO would be better left for your group therapy sessions. The Srimad Bhagavatam is a fairy tale; it's *fine* to read fairy tales and enjoy them. It's a somewhat different thing to believe that they're real, and that what they say is true. You clearly believe that the "Vedic literature" you keep citing is not only true, but Truth. I'm merely suggesting that you are in almost the same ballpark as someone who claims the same thing about the Harry Potter books. Almost. The Harry Potter books are actually enter- taining and well-written.
