Not quite a parallel, Jim. Every time I have described this, I have made it very clear that it was my perception that he levitated. I saw this hundreds of times over many years. But if you'll check, both in my book and any time I have ever mentioned it here, I have always been careful to say that I don't know whether video cameras would have recorded it. In other words, one can *trust* one's perceptions without claiming that they represent some kind of "truth." I saw what I saw, that's all. You've been very clear lately that you believe that your perceptions are equivalent to "truth." You perceive Maharishi as enlightened, therefore he is. You perceive Guru Dev's energy, therefore it's really there. All I'm pointing out is that yesterday you perceived that I was pretending to be another poster called geezerfreak, and you assumed that perception must be equally true. It wasn't. Your perceptions are fallible. I honestly think you'd be better served in the future to think "This is what I perceive and it may have nothing whatsoever to do with what is true" rather than "This is what I perceive, therefore it's true." You can rely on the first statement. *Clearly*, you cannot rely on the second.
