TBs can repeat what they've been told, but they have no idea what a gymnist can do on bouncy foam since it's never been tried. A YFer in great shape will have an advantage over a gymnist in equal shape because the YFer will be getting periodic shakti rushes (although the gymnist may very well get shakti help in their specialty as well). Obviously YFing is not all consciousness based since anyone who's done it knows the muscles of the body are involved and that's obvious to anyone watching it being done. Every action is consciousness based to some degree. The question is can shakti rushes defy the law of gravity and the answer is no and TBs will be waiting till their death bed (or until the pundits come) for it to happen. A more useful discussion I think is the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical effect of long term shakti stimulation that goes on during YFing. My current view is that short term it can break some rigid boundaries in all those areas for the good, but long term it causes too many imbalances, and that explains the pitiful condition of so many people you see in the domes. What I've learnt thru some other spiritual-physical practices is that integration of shakti or chi is what's important and it doesn't seem to me that enough emphasis is put on how to integrate the energy flow in the tm-sidhis program. ------------------------ Yahoo!
