IOW, he can't object if my definition is also metaphysical. *

Perhaps Judy doesn't recall, but "real" was Barry's term to define his
guru's feats of levitation, as opposed to her yogic flying practice and
just plain stage magic. This was not a metaphysical assertion, but was
based on eye-witness accounts from hundreds of observers - and the
science of the levitation event must have been measurable. According to
what I've read, Rama was able to levitate at least an inch or two for a
second or two, but others say he suspended himself in mid-air for an
indefinite period of time and then filled the whole lecture hall with
golden light. Barry claims it was REAL levitation. Go figure.
"The levitation I and thousands of other people witnessed *was* real.
We saw it. We felt it." - TurquoiseB
