Where did I accept that definition? I was merely pointing out what I saw as an 
intellectual flaw in the reworded description.

OTOH, even in the context of "thread," the description has some validity.

The sutra practice, as used in the TM-Siddhis program, is meant to bind the 
absolute and relative states of consciousness along certain specific channels.
E.G. Yogic Flying accustoms the practitioner's nervous system  to hopping 
around vigorously while still in a meditation-like state.

No matter what context or state of consciousness the practitioner is in when 
they do the practice, the description of the technique remains valid: it ties 
some degree of transcendence to some kind of activity associated with the 
sutra's meaning.
