Anyone who has taken time to get initiated into some good higher eastern practices knows exactly what is supposed to be going on and where the mistakes are. Basically MMY has tried to create a pure "Vedic" practice, grossly simplified based on inner tantric practices which are connected to "soma". He only vaguely succeeded IMO. Yes humans produce rarified forms of prana during meditation. Yes they are used with other beings and to create holistic communication and circumstances. But not really in the way that this is described (on Trancenet). What is described on Trancenet, if it is authentic TMO teaching, is an aberration, an attempted reconstruction of an alleged "Vedic" practice. Sadly or perhaps happily, there IS no lineal descent of this practice in a Vedic tradition. So they/he made one up. The sad thing is the real teaching on dripping and blazing of soma, etc. are all still preserved and still lead to real enlightenment. But this ain't it. Do yourself a favor, if you want to really find out about where it's at, go buy a copy of _Bliss of Clear Light_ and read it. It is extraordinary that this book was ever published, because many people spent a lifetime or lifetimes just to have the good fortune to receive these teachings. You will be amazed...and if you are a TM-Sidhi practitioner who is honest with himself, you will experience a deep up-welling of anger.
