He maybe did not know that mechanics of how it would go. Just a question -- do you (or, for that matter, does *anyone* here) actually believe that Patanjali's technique involved thinking "relationship of body and akasha...lightness of cotton fiber" in ANY language, much less English? It *astounds* me that people still believe that what Maharishi sold to them is what Patanjali had in mind. And of course I had posted a while back the comments of Tat Whale   Baba's successor who stated that it had to be done in Sanskrit.   Levitation actually involves two sutras, not one, and a mastery of  a   certain form of prana, which is very dangerous without very close   personal instruction. Hopping actually is another siddhi, the   bhuchari siddhi, the siddhi of hopping like a frog... I suppose it comes down to whether I believe your interpretation of  what Tat Whale Baba's successor said, and how you interpret the TM- Sidhis sutras vs. how Maharishi has brought them out. Given my own results and assuming myself to be quite an ordinary  person, and therefore not prone to extraordinary spiritual results,  I have to say that Maharishi's TM-Siddhis program works exactly as  advertised; ridding the nervous system of deep stresses and  preparing the practitioner for Self Realization. If what you are raising are academic quibbles over the program, I  agree that there may be some insignificant distinctions noted.  However, these are of no consequence practically. I practiced the  full TM-Siddhis program for about 13 years, twice a day.  I think the point is, despite the fact many of us had great experiences with our programs, myself included, there is no one who has full perfection of all of them. And of course the question that raises is "why not?". __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
