Yes, that is the picture.  But in the OFFICIAL WEBSITE I remember, the
picture occupied the top left of the site and there were no disclaimers.
The website was definitely not as busy as this one and the drawing occupied
a lot more real estate on the page, like about a quarter of it.

As far as being able to do magical sidhis, I am not making it up.  Candy
Borlan, Ph.D. (Experimental Psychology, University of Texas at Austin) of
the Houston TM center told us on a CAC prep course in Galveston that indeed
she was the CB of Texas USA in the big something something Enlightenment
book, that she had the flowing gold experience often even though she was
busy teaching the sidhis on the 6 month course and often didn't get a chance
to meditate.  I swear once again that she told us that MERU gave away
masters and ph.d. degrees to people who demonstrated the sidhis.  The
testers would put an object in a box and the testee (BTW, testify, test and
the like come from the ancient Roman requirement to swear on one's testes,
so I guess only Jane Hopsin and her bevy of feminazis could be tested this
way) would use their sidhis to tell what was in the box.  Two correct
answers got you a masters in SCI, three correct answers got you a ph.d. in
SCI.  We had diplomas of masters in SCI hanging up in the office of the
Houston Capital of the Age of Enlightenment (the one on Westheimer, on the
second floor, above the meat market, halfway between River Oats and the
Galleria) from MEMU which I was told were earned by governors via the see
what's in the box test.   Candy further told us to look up exotic fruits
and berries in the encyclopedia, perform our sense sidhis on them once we
learned them then go buy the items in the fancy fruit store in River Oaks to
verify that the fruit and berries tasted, looked and smelled just as we had
experienced with the sidhis.   There was a very big mystique about governors
when they returned about the super normal powers they possessed.  The
returning governors played along with this charade and many implied that
they could read our minds.   Finally a citizen sidha I knew spilled the
beans to close associates:  at most he got flavors of awareness and saw
Consciousness as this stuff containing unmanifest seeds.  No flying, no see
what's in the box, no mind reading.

So while there may only have been a short term official website showing the
stages of crawling, walking and flying, there was a shared fantasy that
lasted quite a number of years.  The website was a decade after the mystique
died.

Anyone know if there's a way to google the Wayback Machine?  IIRC the
Wayback machine does not archive pictures so that might not even help.





  BTW, in those days, TMO websites weren't particularly
  golden and didn't require special spy on you plug ins
  for your browser.   The TMO was just discovering
  the Internet and wasn't exploiting streaming or VOIP.

I certainly was told that I'd be able to fly once I completed my TM Sidhi
course.Year after year, starting with the first preparatory courses then
going on to the CIC courses.  I've seen numerous TMO websites where flying
was stated.  I was disappointed a few years back where I saw a TMO website
which showed the progression of the entire world through various stages
until in 2099 all people would be flying.   Showed drawings of the stages

Wonder if the Supreme Council of Jyotish calculated the various years we

 I simply can't wait for the first TB TMer here to repeat
 the bullshit that the TMO never claimed that people would
 be able to fly after taking the TM-Siddhis course:

As I noted, no TMer ever uttered that bullshit; that's
Barry's bullshit.

What some of us *have* pointed out is that while the
TMO did say one would be able to fly after taking the
course (at least prior to the requirement to sign a no
guarantees understanding when applying), it didn't say
*how long* after. IOW, as far as I'm aware, it has never
said one would walk out of the course being able to fly
(or perform any other of the siddhis). The time frame was
always left undefined.

I can't read the small print on the poster to the left.
The poster on the right describes hopping, albeit
misleadingly, and refers to it as levitation (on the
grounds that hopping is the first stage of levitation):

Highly developed mind-body coordination verified by
direct experience of LEVITATION--command of the law of
gravity whereby the body lifts up, moves forward and
gently touches down--inner experience of great freedom
and bliss, release of deep stress.

But the above doesn't actually say one will be able to
do what it describes, much less hover or fly at will,
much less be able to do it upon leaving the course. (It
isn't even a complete sentence--there's no verb.)

I'd be really surprised if that very careful wording
hadn't been decreed by movement lawyers.

There is a significant difference in today's enlightened from the past 
though.  That is that in the past there was an extensive support system of 
interaction with someone entrusted to evaluate progress.  Most traditions 
involved communities of people whose constant interaction was in fact a real 
time monitoring process. That combined with a strict protocol and interaction 
with a representative of a tradition created a lot of checks and balances.

This is a important point in how we are proceeding today with evaluating what 
these internal states mean.  On one hand people seem confident to use the 
scriptures to support claims of enlightenment while at the same time living 
completely outside the traditional structures meant to support such a claim.  
Maharishi was very clear about the need to external evaluations for claims of 
enlightenment and at least gave lip-service to some benchmarks.

This all starts with Maharishi who sort of set these techniques free into the 
world but really offered little continuing support for people as their mental 
states changed.  There was a theater of such support like in the fairly recent 
show of a few questions in the dome on some course.  Carefully monitored and 
without any follow-up.  I remember writing my monthly experience reports for 
years after taking the sidhis with no feedback.  That would be a fascinating 
pile of material to evaluate the sidhi program from.  I hope that someday 
someone sifts through that for some insight.

I am in the camp that believes that our minds can be shifted significantly but 
that we can't look to the past interpretations for what it means.  We need to 
find out on our own.  It seems that you have blended a bit of each approach in 
presenting your own inner state here.  I did listen to your Batgap interview 
and felt that you were giving it the old college try to explain where you were 
at internally.  A genuine attempt to go beyond jargon that I appreciated. It is 
hard to provide something convincing to others that something meaningful has 
occurred for you. I believe that Batgap tends to gloss over statements of 
miracles as mundane or at least not necessary to back up with some proof.  I 
think that is a reasonable bar to clear for any claim of an interaction with 
the world that could be measured. 

My views on all this is still a work in progress.  I've had enough of my own 
shifts of state to know that such things can be dramatic but still have not 
been convinced that all these changes are better states.  Some of them seem 
like too much of a good thing to me.

Thanks for keeping up the dialogue Jim.

This is a TM fan site, not an official site of the TM

And it's pretty obvious that much of its material is not
from the TMO (e.g., the section headed Wireless Upgrades
to the Human Nervous System during the TM and TM-Sidhis
Program). Most of the site just links to various TMO
items, but the Stage Three by 2099 bit does not; it's
peculiar (pun intended) to the site.

Have a look, see if that's the site you remember. I
couldn't find any others, so I'm inclined to think the
2099 bit is the fantasy of the TM enthusiast who put
up the site, not anything the TMO has claimed.

challenge. 

 
 I am in the camp that believes that our minds can be shifted significantly 

Words are words, stumbling blocks at best. So sorry for pointing out the 
obvious -- but words have taken on a life of their own, they have created their 
own little world, that has nothing to do with Silence. As AK sings, You say it 
best when you say nothing at all. The perfect Advanced Lecture.

FWIW, shifting of the mind has nothing to do with Silence. Awareness doesn't 
shift. Talk of shifting minds often comes from shifty minds.

but that we can't look to the past interpretations for what it means.  We need 
to find out on our own.  It seems that you have blended a bit of each approach 
in presenting your own inner state here.  I did listen to your Batgap 
interview and felt that you were giving it the old college try to explain 
where you were at internally.  A genuine attempt to go beyond jargon that I 
appreciated. It is hard to provide something convincing to others that 
something meaningful has occurred for you.

Meaningful occurances are the domain of shifty minds. There is no meaning in 
Silence.  Restful Meaninglessness. (Didn't you get SCI #37? Opps sorry, thats 
only for those in the underground bunker.)

 
 I believe that Batgap tends to gloss over statements of miracles as mundane 
 or at least not necessary to back up with some proof.  I think that is a 
 reasonable bar to clear for any claim of an interaction with the world that 
 could be measured. 
 

Unfoldment has nothing to do with creating a better me. Measured improvement 
is a relativistic mobius strip, fractaling out infinite detail and meaning -- 
totally on the other side of the Ganges from Silence.
  

 My views on all this is still a work in progress.  I've had enough of my own 
 shifts 

Daily I hope. Psyllium seed husks can help.  

of state to know that such things can be dramatic 

Silence has no drama.  

but still have not been convinced that all these changes are better states. 

Conviction and understanding have nothing to do with Silence.

 Some of them seem like too much of a good thing to me.

 The spiritual journey is always a singular one, not needing anything except 
 one's own integrity and dedication.

Which are beliefs and mind states. Ripoche Krishna said 

Go beyond the changing mind states. Go beyond the concepts of integrity and 
dedication. Even then, go beyond integrity and dedication. And for God's sake, 
STOP trying, stop feverently desiring the Desireless state. Let go of all such 
mindstates.

And 

Singular states are duality disguised in (mind) shifty terms. Being singular 
means being isolated, an island off the shore of wholeness. Go beyond duality, 
go beyond singularity, simply be the Vastness, right here, right now. 

from the Nirguna Sutras 


 To try and game 

Total gaming, is total playfulness. Upon realizing the Vastness, only play is 
possible. See divinity playing hide and seek in every face and situation. Play. 
Grown-ups have forgotten how to play. Vastness is only open to the utterly 
playful. In non-play, there is always holding on. In utter playfulness, there 
is nothing to hang onto. Freefalling in utter Vastness. Game On!

nirguna sutras


it into some sort of popularity contest is misguided and immature, imo.

Immaturity is utter spirituality. Immaturity is letting totally go of all 
restrictions, mandates, proper ways, judgements, blame and regrets. Immaturity 
is seeing, being , all possibilities in every moment -- while knowing that 
there are no moments. Play On. Game One. DeAdulterize your life.

  popularity contest is misguided and immature, imo.
 
 
 There is a significant difference in today's enlightened from the past 
 though.

**Enlightenment is certainly a much more accessible idea now than in the past. 
Interpreted all different ways, discussed globally and used for all kinds of 
purposes. It never was a popularity contest though, as Barry says.

  That is that in the past there was an extensive support system of interaction 
with someone entrusted to evaluate progress.  Most traditions involved 
communities of people whose constant interaction was in fact a real time 
monitoring process. That combined with a strict protocol and interaction with a 
representative of a tradition created a lot of checks and balances.

**Sure - such things exist today. I think Maharishi's benchmarks for CC 
(duality along with self realization), GC (experiencing the finest relative 
phenomenon) and UC (one + one + n = One) are spot on.

**Enlightenment exists for itself though, and there are any number of 
techniques out there to further its development, if one so wishes. It doesn't 
exist for measurements and external standards. Personal realization is strictly 
a personal issue in my eyes. The environment, whether formal or not, is an 
excellent teacher.
 
 This is a important point in how we are proceeding today with evaluating what 
 these internal states mean.  On one hand people seem confident to use the 
 scriptures to support claims of enlightenment while at the same time living 
 completely outside the traditional structures meant to support such a claim.  

**I enjoy finding my experiences in scriptures, seeing in them occasionally a 
way to state something which is difficult to express. Though if someone is 
using the scriptures as a validation of their experience, they must not be 
having a very compelling experience.

Maharishi was very clear about the need to external evaluations for claims of 
enlightenment and at least gave lip-service to some benchmarks.

**Yeah, I appreciate that. We can BS ourselves up in our heads, but if it isn't 
translating into real life (200% and all that), we need more work - lol.
 
 This all starts with Maharishi who sort of set these techniques free into the 
 world but really offered little continuing support for people as their mental 
 states changed.  There was a theater of such support like in the fairly 
 recent show of a few questions in the dome on some course.  Carefully 
 monitored and without any follow-up.  I remember writing my monthly 
 experience reports for years after taking the sidhis with no feedback.  That 
 would be a fascinating pile of material to evaluate the sidhi program from.  
 I hope that someday someone sifts through that for some insight.

**Yeah, after awhile I saw that what I was going through couldn't be addressed 
by any organization. It is such a personal thing. 
 
 I am in the camp that believes that our minds can be shifted significantly 
 but that we can't look to the past interpretations for what it means.  We 
 need to find out on our own.

**Agreed - ultimately it comes down to our personal journey. I have found it 
both confounding and helpful to incorporate TM and Maharishi's words as an 
integral part of my personal trek through life, and even as long as I have had 
that relationship with my TM technique and his words, all of that has to be 
transcended and integrated into daily life too - I've gotta be me (sammy 
davis jr.). 

  It seems that you have blended a bit of each approach in presenting your own 
inner state here.  I did listen to your Batgap interview and felt that you were 
giving it the old college try to explain where you were at internally.  A 
genuine attempt to go beyond jargon that I appreciated. It is hard to provide 
something convincing to others that something meaningful has occurred for you. 
I believe that Batgap tends to gloss over statements of miracles as mundane or 
at least not necessary to back up with some proof.  I think that is a 
reasonable bar to clear for any claim of an interaction with the world that 
could be measured.

**Yeah, I haven't listened to 99% of the interviews, including mine, though I 
agree that all things enlightenment can be tossed about pretty loosely these 
days. 
 
 My views on all this is still a work in progress.  I've had

 Comics #900 written by David S. Goyer with art by Miguel Sepulveda. In
 it, Superman consults with the President's national security advisor,
 who is incensed that Superman appeared in Tehran to non-violently
 support the protesters demonstrating against the Iranian regime, no
 doubt an analogue for the recent real-life protests in the Middle
East.
 However, since Superman is viewed as an American icon in the DC
Universe
 as well as our own, the Iranian government has construed his actions
as
 the will of the American President, and indeed, an act of war.
 It's time Sidha Man takes over!
 Finally---haven't we told you a long time ago!!

The only people to make any claims on FFL 
about flying was Barry Wright, who claimed
he once saw Rama float up into the air in 
front of a crowd of people. Barry IS the
TMO. And, he is a 'TB', apparently.

Oh ? I claimed to have jumped 6 meters from the sitting position several times. 
Not exactly flying, but quite close.

Whoa! It's actually much more than most of us would think!?
Most world class female long jumpers can jump at best a couple of feet
more?
