One such story is funny and I'll share it because the doubter in question was a TMer, a former girl- friend of mine. She was (and still is, I believe) a strong True Believer, completely "sold out" to Maharishi, so full of TMO Kool-Aid that she sloshed when she walked. :-) At the same time, she was a sincere seeker who had pretty good subtle perception (she could see auras and such phenomena far better than I could). We were no longer going out (largely because by that time I was no longer part of the TMO) but I ran into her in L.A. and she asked what I was up to and I told her and I invited her to a small private talk that Rama was giving that week. To my utter surprise, she agreed to go. So we're sitting there listening to him talk and meditating with the dude, and she is doing her mumbling thang ( she had a tendency to...uh... vocalize, both during sex and meditation...I hear that the ladies in the dome had to ask her to stuff a sock in it more than once :-). Anyway, she sat there saying quietly, "Holy shit...he's really floating. Oh. I don't believe it...he just turned invisible. Oooo...the room is filling up with golden light..." Stuff like that. Then at one point she abruptly stood up and left, right in the middle of one of the meditations. Afterwards I talked to her briefly about it, even though she clearly did not want to, and she claimed that she'd seen and felt absolutely nothing...no siddhis, no light, nada. Go figure. We never really talked about it again, but my feeling is that she was so threatened by the fact that she was seeing these things and that they *weren't* being done by *her* teacher (Maharishi) that she just blotted them out and refused to ever deal with the experience. I have heard that in the months that followed she denied ever having seen Rama, which possibly ties into this whole denial thang, but also could just have been fear (at that time and place) of being thrown out of the TMO for having seen another teacher. Anyway, my point is that people who claim that they want to see the siddhis may have a surprise or two in store for them when they do. They may find out a great deal about what they *really* want. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.
