[FairfieldLife] Re: Key to levitation

[jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

St. Thomas Aquinas, from what I've read, levitated also.  But he didn't mention 
this feat so much as the ecstasy that he felt during the rapture state.  He 
stated that he felt complete bliss to the point that he understood more in the 
spiritual sense, compared to the intellectual books he wrote about in his life. 
 He felt that all of the books he wrote were trash and pulp. 

 Also, in reading between the lines, I felt that MMY also levitated.  
Otherwise, why would he unilaterally recommend to TMers to practice "yogic 
flying" and the other siddhis?  We had a forum member state a few years ago 
that someone in Europe had video taped MMY perform this feat.  Does anyone 
remember Nablusos from Sweden or Norway?

 In the RC Church history, there are over 200 levitators.  I've read as many 
biographies as I could get my hands on.  In all cases, the prerequisite 
ingredient is out of body travel, what the Saints call "Going into Ecstasy.".
 Thus, there is 1. Frogic travel, 2. Yogic travel, and 3. Out of body travel.
 Typically, the Saint having gone into Ecstasy (while at prayer alone in a 
room, or in Church at the altar)), is unaware that such an experience is taking 
place.  An observer may see the Saint in a kneeling position or lying down. 
Some have reported that in the case of the 17-th century Saint Stanislaus 
Papczynski, his eyes rolling up and down, back and forth uncontrollably and 
apparently unconscious.
 

 Second necessary ingredient in the case of the RC levitators is devotion to 
Jesus and or Mary.
 Levitators in the Kriya Yoga tradition have an unsually advanced mastery of 
Breath, leading to out of body travel or levitation.
 It's not surprising that the Dome "levitators" have only reached the Frogic 
stage.  They have no mastery when it comes to out of body travel, are not 
devoted to Jesus and Mary, and have no mastery over Breath, as do the advanced 
Kriya Yoga practitioners.
