Maharishi made such a big thing of the sidhis and of sidhas doing program together that the status of TM meditators was diminished. I learned the sidhis because I had enjoyed going to the TM center and to residence courses. Everything for mere meditators got cut down tremendously. There was a residence course at MIU, for example, perhaps twice a year. The purpose of those two residence courses was to convince the meditators to become sidhas. So if you wanted to even watch a tape, you had to become a sidha because increasingly the tapes were for sidhas only. If there was a policy meeting at the center, sidhas would be invited but not mere meditators because, well, meditators didn't operate at the home of all the laws of nature. Over the years I've been on "residence courses" sponsored by local centers in which there wasn't the means to provide a WPA. Foam, Rig Veda were put out for the sidhas to do program together. On many of these "residence courses" there was not a single mere meditator.
