Raising someone from the dead deserves some scrutiny, unless it's

many have read it.
Just out of curiosity, do you think that the siddhis are possible?
The siddhis are possible, I believe. From a personal point of view,
I have experienced the siddhi for being small as an atom. I
experienced this siddhi soon after getting initiated just using the
basic TM method. Even up to the present, I have not gotten any
formal training for the TM-Sidhi techniques.
Something you might want to consider: what is possible mentally. In my
personal clear experiences of the TM "sidhis" I was forced to conclude
that they were all mental-plane phenomenon. The exception of course is
the muscle-jerking sidhi, i.e. the "flying" sidhi: it's more of a post-
hypnotic suggestion phenom, but still a mentally-mediated phenom.
Without a clear understanding of the mental-plane and what that means
experientially, it would be impossible to objectively evaluate any TM-
Sidhi expereinces IMO. You're "easy game". If you fall into
"believing" then, mentally, the experience you describe would be
typical. This type of experience can easily be replicated using any
acquired belief and a sensory deprivation tank.
Of course the fact that the TM technique is a mental technique is
inescapable.
You should seriously consider this.
