I have heard that in the months that followed she denied ever having seen Rama, which possibly ties into this whole denial thang, but also could just have been fear (at that time and place) of being thrown out of the TMO for having seen  another teacher. Anyway, my point is that people who claim that they want to see the siddhis may have a surprise or two in store for them when they do. They may find out a great deal about what they *really* want.  :-) Alternatively, fulfillment of the Sidhis can be just as unsettling  to one's concepts. Either way I agree-- very much a case of 'be  careful what you wish for'... It was just a fascinating evening for me, watching her avoiding her own perceptions. I did not tell her before the talk that Rama could do siddhis, or to watch for them, and he never announced that he was about to do them, even to the point of saying "Watch this." That night, a small gathering of about 50 students and their guests, he just did them ex tempore, slipping them in *while* giving a talk on something or another. And because of her mumbling thing, there was no question that she was seeing them at the time, but then for whatever reason she decided to "not have seen them," and that decision was more powerful than her own perceptions. Go  figure. Unless of course she was pissed because she realized he was using some form of suggestion... Some Buddhist teachers have suggested that Zen Master Rama was just doing a form of "magical display" (if he was not hypnotizing people)--a kind of minor siddhi where they change people's perceptions. Supposedly much easier to do and a lot more common than actual levitation siddhi.  __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
