As I pointed out, the EEG research on the TM-SIdhis shows that it has the same effects on EEG as TM does, but more-so, so if you think that the EEG effects of TM practice are beneficial, it makes sense that you should be thinking that the EEG effects of practicing the TM-Sidhis might be beneficial as well.
That's only common sense, right? L ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : I would say they have plain old common sense. From: "LEnglish5@...

Why on Earth haven't you and your wife become Sidhas? Is it really that difficult to believe that engaging in a mental process which leads to [more or less] spontaneous physical activity might actually stabilize pure consciousness during activity? The published research on EEG during the TM-Sidhis (not just during Yogic Flying) certainly supports Maharishi's claims on the topic, TM-SIdhis instruction can be virtually free if you are able to qualify for the available scholarships, there's a huge need for TM teachers right now if you speak languages like Spanish, Portuguese or any major African language. The David Lynch Foundation has potential contracts with refugee organizations that may require many 10's of thousands of new TM teachers. What keeps you from learning?

We both were involved in the TM movement throughout the 80's to about 1994 (in Fairfield from about 1989-1994), but have had zero involvement with the movement since then. We have continued with TM (not the sidhis) over the past 20 years as we raised a family, ran a business, and such. Anyway, we are now at that time when family are on their own and we're thinking of what's next for us. From what we've read about Fairfield, it seems that it might be worth checking out (thus our upcoming visit). My question for anyone here who might have some information: Is there any 'unofficial' group meditation program (TM) in Fairfield on a regular basis? We're assuming that 1) because we have no-one to recommend us (which at least was the way it used to be way back when) and 2) because we are both TM teachers who don't practice the sidhis, we will never be allowed to join any 'official' movement group meditations. Also, for many years we have been practicing 40 minutes of TM twice a day (not 20 minutes). Any information or leads would be appreciated. Since I found this group a week ago, I've been browsing here and there. There seems to be quite a range of opinions about TM/the movement/the politics, etc. (to put it mildly...:). We left all of that many years ago so we have no interest in those conversations, but we appreciate what Maharishi gave us and are very happy with TM. Best, Jim
