The earliest flying posters perpetrated this deception explicitly. Only later did they try to backtrack a little on the claim of maximum coherence during flying. Was anyone there when MMY decided to put the maximum coherence with flying? I remember it caused a bit of a fuss because it was so deceptive. Maybe someone there can tell how it happened that those EEG waves got associated with flying.
I remember My MIU class figuring this out because we had all seen the elaborate hookups for EEG and knew this chart had to be false. Do you remember how the first Siddhas were so coy about the flying level achieved? That was such an interesting time. Remember the first siddi descriptions booklet? I have it around somewhere.

Interesting that she couldn't catch the distinction. > ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.
