Now I remember that it was 6 photos, with a slow ascend and the subsequent landing. As it was photgraphed from the front, the distance she traversed wasn't really obvious, unless you did some analyzing, like comparing it to the other woman on the phote who stayed at the same spot. What was certainly obvious was that a parabole was being done, and of course you can't say how slow it was. Judy, I'm not saying that there wasn't an impression created from these photos that the flying was actually more than it really was, physically speaking. But for me at least, at the time I was doing it, it was an actual improvement upon mere TM, right from the start of the Sidhis. You could say, that even if your meditation wasn't very clear one day, at the time of the flying sutra everything cleared up at least. I never completely figured out why this was, but my guess is that it works on the Kundalini. There is a hatha yogic technique where you lift yourself up with your arms and then bounce on the butt, in order to create a push on the lower chakras. Even though the technique is not identical, the effect may be similar. So many people I knew thought, that even though they were cheated, they were cheated in a good way, into doing something really good and helpfull. I am reminded of the story in Buddhism, were the house is burning and the father tries to convince his children to leave the house by promising them toys. The toys don't really exist, but the children leave the house (which is samsara) and are saved. Also the other Sidhis I found helpful, I had my favourate one's which gave me a taste of the sidhi, quite literally. Only for me came a time, after many hours of practise, that certain chakras opened (to whatever degree), and that from then on my whole program changed experience-wise. Everything became the same, and it didn't really matter anymore what I did. This was a year before I finally left Purusha and then the movement, and I abondend all the program.But it was helpful at the time, and did its job.
