This brings up a very interesting question: *Would* you believe it if you saw it with your own eyes? I ask because there are a few on this forum who have stated that they wouldn't. Sparaig has been outspoken about not trusting his own perceptions. And, whenever I have been honest about my own experiences of seeing someone hover in mid-air (which I have seen hundreds of times, but which was never captured on camera, and thus cannot be proven), many have been quick to tell me that I was hallucinating, or moodmaking, or that I had been hypnotized. Me, I trust my own experience *far* more than I trust "science," so their jibes don't bother me. But I bring the subject up because I think it's important to seekers of enlightenment. *If* you don't trust your own perceptions, will you ever trust your own perceptions of enlightenment unless they are "confirmed" by someone you consider an authority figure or by some "scientific" measure? I don't think so. > If people were routinely hovering the TMO would be screaming > it from the rooftops as there would be no better recruitement > tool than proof that we know more about the universe than > Einstein, Hawking and everyone else ever. I agree. I see this article as being based on the "I don't care if it's true or not, I believe it and if it'll help get more people learning the siddhis and bouncing on their butts for peace I'll say it to this reporter" commentary of a TM True Believer. It's really no different than the things that were being said when the siddhis were first introduced. > Face it, if the reports are true it overturns everything > the human race thinks it knows. > > Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. > Hearsay aint good enough. For those who haven't experienced it. My point above is relevant to those who *have*. Will they experience it themselves and *still* require "extraordinary evidence." If so, I think that's pretty sad.
