But if there is anything to these tales I doubt if the saint
*physically* levitated. Ie, a Kodak Brownie would not have recorded
his flight. A more likely explanation (though still demanding a lot of
credulity) is that people witnessed his "astral" vehicle. He was,
after all, spending most of his time in prayer and contemplation -
ideal conditions for having an out-of-the-body experience. Perhaps the
veneration surrounding the holy man raised the witnesses' own level of
consciousness so that they could sense his astral form.
More plausible?
On that theme: do TM meditators in the Dome (sidhas or not) ever
report having an OBE?
