Ever see Michael Jordan play basketball in his prime? A physically fit person can make moves that appear to defy gravity, but don't. I do believe people can levitate and even that people in the TM movement may have done so momentarily on rare occasions, but I doubt it has ever happened regularly in group flying sessions. There was an old guy named Elliot who was a plumber at MIU-CNL in DC and later at MUM. A friend of mine, whom I believe, told me that Elliot went through a phase when he first got the sidhis where he was levitating a lot. Couldn't even sit on the toilet sometimes without floating into the air. My friend said he saw him (not necessarily the toilet episode) and took pictures. I'll see if I can get them, scan them, and post them. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
