I have done program in a lot of places Estonia, Helsinki, Rio, Los Angeles, Berkley, San Diego, NYC, Morristown NJ, North BEND INDiana, Washington DC, ATLANTA, Maybe Clearwater FL, MASS, Philly, many places. In all of these places there were people who flew or bounced in the flying room and then there were the rocks.
I guess if I went to program everyday for 25 years and just sat, I would think this whole thing was a bunch of crap as well. Sitting and doing nothing not even meditating WOW!. Thank God I have only had that experience if I chose to. As in sitting with legs not crossed. what these people do is look at how high the others are flying. Look to see who is faking you name it. I guess it is like a person who sits to meditate and looks at their watch evey minute and a half.
Somethings are even worst like being veg, running and meditating and smoking. What is wrong with this combination?
I rememebr when I first got the sidhis, I went to Chicago to buy some winter clothes. I went to a club that was in a HolidayInn I dont rememebr if it was on Ohio Street or not I forgot anyway, I met this woman with a very nice body. I was dancing and so forth having a good time. Then a guy came in he was either her boyfriend or a drug dealer. He took her away from me. What could I do in Chicago a place I knew nothing about and had no one with me.
I closed my eyes and did sungyuma on the situation and saw what I wanted to happen. The guy left her on the dance floor and left. I cant tell the rest of the story but I used what I had to fight back.
In Helsinki I was working with a bunch of very nuts finns. A guy had me living in his workers house. He liked to lord over me because I was dependent on him. I had no money. So I began doing my program regularly. One thing lead to another. Next I went to him one day and said I am moving.
he said you have no money how can you move. Well I am moving and you can give me what you have been giving or not but I am out of here. I moved to the TM center. Doing Program twice a day with other sidhas, living in the center of town. Internet in the library you name it. Watching Maharishi Channel. JAI GURU DEV. This guy Jari was shocked how could this ____ just manifest an alternative? BECAUSE TM WORKS.
Another time in the same country I was sitting with two guy and they are talking in Finnish I decided to meditate. While in the transcendent I was understanding them just like they were speaking english.
One guy named Jerker was telling Jari get this guy out of that hotel Helsinki Radison because he is just wasting the money. they wanted to find out who my money source was so they copuld fund their project without my help. I opened my eyes looked at them and said I think I want to return to Brasil. Immediately.
Why? Because I do not like being in place where people come to your hotel eat all day long and then try and stab you in the back. This man Jerker was not a Finn he was Swedish. The point is how did I understand their language? It was because TM works.
When I came to Brasil the very first time. I was living in Venezuela, I crossed the border and enteres a town called boavista. The second night there I got hit first by a motor cycle which I never saw and then by a toyota mini truck. No one spoke Spanish, no one spoke englich only Portuguese. But even worse I could hear them but I could not open my eyes. I thought I was dead. Only I was conscious inside. I began to pray, also say my mantra, also call sai Baba, what ever I just asked that if I was going to be alive please let me open my eyes before a lose a body part or two by accident.
I opened my eyes no one spoke english, my head was open in the back the skin on my back was opened. They could not understand me nor I them. what was even worse they did not know how to make an international phone call.
I meditated. Soon I was released I think I was stitched up but what I most remember was being treated like shit.
Meditation pulled me through again. Iwas able to walk out of that hospital.
I continued with Brasil it took a month or so to heal but I went back. This time I took a boat up the amazon to a town called Belem do Para. It was a big diamond mine. I stayed there 2 years. I only intended to stay 2 hours. I had little money in the beginning and did not speak the language. In less than six months I was giving lectures in portuguese. The only thing that was missing was a TM center we built an organization with 200 professionals, doctors lawyers educators social workers and so forth. I believe my ability to do that was due to meditation.
Whats the point. MMY bashing is only reflective of who you are. TM works. It has worked for me and many others. If it is not working for you find what does but dont talk too loud because it gives away too much info.
The sidhis. Well who cares if I see the pole star or feel it or if you hear ringing? So what? The idea that doing the intellect sutra would make one feel like the back of their head just got blown off SO! Or that Inner light works. Once I had my car stollen in NYC I was at Trevor's house. WHile meditating during program it appreared where the car was. We went looking and voila there was the car. Trev was shocked. The SIDHIS work. THe only thing that may not work is me. If I am working the program works.

That is to me an academic distinction. It IS a valid question, but
the whole point is Self realization, not perfection of the Sidhis.
And I am not just equivocating. If I hadn't experienced what I have,
I'd probably be concerned with the boundaries of the Sidhis as well.
But I did, so I'm not. It really isn't all that important whether or
not we have perfected the Sidhis. The important thing is using the
TM-Sidhis program to eliminate stress, to prepare ourselves for Self
realization.
