Maharishi always said that flying, as a byproduct of experiencing higher states of consciousness, develops in tree stages and that we all are on the first stage of hopping for the time being, with the occasional longer hauls of several yards. We're hopping like frogs mostly, nobody has claimed that we are flying like birds at this point. BTW: What do you call the first flight of the Wright Brothers, hopping ?
