Unc, other than one other response to this thread (the one who said his brother did it pre-TM 20 feet down the road or something like that), you are the very first person who I have ever heard of that has claimed to have witnessed first-hand actual levitation. As such, I feel compelled to ask you for much more detail to your experience, please. When did this happen? Where? Actual city/state and location (i.e. house, ashram, type of room, etc.) Did you experience it only once? Who exactly did the levitating. Was it photographed/videotaped and if not, why not? What was the circumstances of the manifestation, that is, was it in front of many people, just yourself...was the lighting and the surroundings such that it couldn't be faked, etc. I ask this because on my last trip to Las Vegas I visited one of those magic kiosks where they sell magic tricks and I actually saw a magician demonstate a "trick" that he was selling to the public in which he makes a coin levitate and spin right in front of you (and for the hell of it, I could NOT figure out how he did it but I DO know that it was some sort of magic technique and NOT actual levitation).
