He did. Performed them in public "intro lectures" in the L.A. Convention Center and in Carnegie Hall. Suffice it to say that the "big impact" you mention was not forthcoming. There are many reasons for this, IMO. First, not every- one in the room saw the same thing; there seems to be a subjective element to seeing many of the siddhis. Second, a lot of people who did see that stuff were so freaked out inwardly that they *immediately* tried to come up with rationalizations to make the whole experience go away, to pretend it never happened or that it was done with wires and mirrors. It's just human nature. > But then, in light of Unc's experience of > him rearranging the stars, which he obviously couldn't have > done, it seems e had the ability to make people around him > see things. Either that, or siddhis such as that one were done on a different "level" than the one we associate with everyday reality. That's my bet. He never suggested what anyone would see -- the most he'd say was, "Watch." And people would watch, and a large percentage of them would see the same phenomenon, while others would see nothing.
