Well, the point though is that we have the ability to have sidhis built into
this new Vatacan which has ostensibly started out with more converts than the
Church. MMY may well be someday the more revered prophet ever. History only
knows.

Sir barry, sidhis are a paradox. Even if they are there, they are rare
and should not be disclosed.
The TM-org has put unimaginable pressure upon itself due to this 'Sidhi
program'.
Just imagine, if someone in SSRS mov't or Chopra's disciple manages to
float or fly or soar in the sky.!!
What will Hagelin do about it.??
What will TM-org do about it.?? Will they file a suit.??
These pea brained morons who run the movement are playing a dangerous
game. That is something a True fanatic can't understand. This kind of
McMarketing of these McSidhis are crazy.

Even though Lawson seems to be under the impression
that I am some sort of God, and thus he must capitalize
my name, I assure him that it is not true. It is *also*
not true that I have ever suggested that the TM siddhis
don't "work." Why, just the other day I stated explicitly
that some who practice them have very real experiences
indeed. It's just that I *also* stated that I believe
those experiences are pretty much the result of the
placebo effect.
Another thing I have stated is that the TM siddhis, in my
opinion, have absolutely nothing to do with what Patanjali
was writing about in his Yoga Sutras. He was writing about
the real thing. The TM siddhis aren't.
Are we clear now on what my position is? :-)
Nope. However, the placebo effect is multifaceted. For
example, some True Believers have convinced themselves
that when they hear words they don't understand it has
good effects on them because of the powerful Woo Woo Rays
trapped inside the words they don't understand.
They have decided this because early in life they made
a decision to trust Maharishi, and to not bother to think
for themselves.
But that doesn't mean that they don't actually *feel*
some effect from doing what he says, because of the
placebo effect. It doesn't even mean that some of the
effects they feel aren't real -- sometimes people *do*
get better from swallowing a sugar pill. Why shouldn't
it be possible for fanatical TM True Believers to feel
better after swallowing a load of horseshit? :-)
I hope I've clarified my position so that you don't need
to misrepresent it in the future, Lawson. You also don't
have to capitalize all the letters in my name.
:-) :-) :-)
