I always imagined that if one could actually 'float' ,
Lighter than air...
Than one would have to have transformed to physical body,
Into a higher vibratonal body, of light...
And therefore, I would expect all kinds of impurities, flying out,
As well as the stirring up of the enviornment around the Sidha
Floater'.
As a matter of fact, I think MMY, picked and used the levitation
sutra for the effect that it has on the surroundings, increasing the
ME...
