Because his sidhis were not aparent to all. They were only apparent to his 'chosen ones.' Frankly, with that Jewish hookbill shnoz of his he never was all that hot to me. I thought he seemed cool wearing a leather jacket, but then I had been a punk rocker. I knew a con when I saw one. My sister owning a psychic institute called "Inner Perceptions" allowed me to meet a thousand different such people of every possible distinction.  Out of them all perhaps ten had any sort of sidhi, and by sidhi in their case I mean merely self knowledge.  Only Sholom Carlbach seemed beyond ego, but that was probably just an act. There was a psychic named Reverend Marilyn, and Carolyn Lacy. There was Bearheart, Isreal Regardie, and a Hindu palmreader. The rest "were all" shysters. Lenz as well.  In this world, in this life I have seen and met almost everyone and everything that ever came to the US. Lenz was a pathetic shyster. His life led to his death, and his bad karma lives on still.

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.

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. 
Go figure.

I take it you haven't seen the latest Star Wars movie
or Sin City.  :-)

It's a good question, one that is not lost on me.  I don't
have easy answers for you.  I dealt with some of the
answers I have come up with for myself in one of the
stories I wrote, at:
