As I recall, MMY recommends strongly *against* out-of- body travel for TMers.  The emphasis in TM is mind- body coordination for the development of enlightenment, and out-of-body travel, he points out, is pretty much the antithesis mind-body coordination. Maybe it's not problematic once you *are* enlightened? If you're in Unity, which body are you traveling out of? Technically, none. However there are three styles of out of body travel (Skt.: AmAzaya), and this is only one of them. The AoE technique falls in the category of the dualistic, or nirmanakaya styles, however since the AoE technique is specifically also a style of typical Hindu religious practice (i.e. not a yogic practice), it's actually less so. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
