  all this superpower stuff and themselves.
 
 You think the champion Yogic Flyers take themselves seriously?

We were talking about spiritual books about sidhis
and such phenomena, not Maharishi-brand Champion
Yogic Flyers.

Of course no one ever took that seriously.  :-)

My comment was about spiritual books in general,
almost *all* of which take themselves too seriously.

them can fly as well as they once did, even though their level of inner

because it was primarily a display of physical prowess, not a siddhi.

  Hi, yeah, its a little weird to keep reading stories about what 
  super powers this yogi or that manifested. The best book on that 
 was 
  Yogananda's, but agreed that it gets old after awhile. 
 
 
 
 
 
 Why not just read a Marvel Comic?  I myself really don't see a 
 difference...
 
I have always enjoyed comics- oddly, when I was learning the sidhis, 
I had a subscription to X-Men...

At a certain stage of my development, I needed to know that our 
abilities as humans weren't limited to what is ordinarily reported. 

So I really enjoyed and was inspired by Yogananda's book, because it 
was written in a very matter-of-fact and personal style. It was 
accessible, vs just imaginative as comic books are.

  What were the stoichiometric equations for that molecular

 You tell me!!

Seriously, mystery guest, after looking up what stoichiometric

conservation of mass, then I conclude that such a phenomenon as I

As I said, my subjective experience was much more non-localized than

And, question for you: why the heck would you want to anyway? The

Well, you made a point to say the intense changes were at the
molecular level. Since most changes in the body are at the molecular
level of cellular processes, it would at first appear to be rendundant
and pseudo-science speak. But I assume that you had a specific reason,
specific insight at the molecular level. Thus mapping out the basic
molecular change that was revealed to you is an appropriate
follow-up question.

If your subjective experience was much more non-localized than 
your typical experience, why did you highlight it as intense molecular
change? If it was metaphysical, why try to cloak it in scientific terms. 

If it was molecular, and you know that for a fact, then you must have
some insight into the molecular process involved. If you were simply
using molecular as a crude analogy for powerful and fundamental
well, then ok, I guess. Just seems to be sloppy writing.

 well, then ok, I guess. Just seems to be sloppy writing.

All reasonable points. However, this experience, that I had 
repeatedly, falls solidly in between what can be characterized as a 
scientific experience (repeatable, observable phenomenon) and a 
metaphysical one. So I didn't want to say something unqualified, 
like powerful and fundamental, that would lead the reader to their 
own conclusions. 

Instead, I thought back to another experience of vision that I had 
while doing the sidhis practice, that of actually observing the 
atomic makeup of a person and objects, (correlated by descriptions 
I've read in scientific documents and Yogananda's autobio) and from 
this, and my earlier account of experiencing my body as light, I am 
reaching the reasonable conclusion that for me to be able to see and 
experience such things, an alteration of my body at the molecular 
level must've occurred.

So this is my point, that to experience these phenomena is a result 
of the body's machinery changing at a fundamental level. And the 
point of bringing that up is to tie experiences of higher states of 
consciousness with changes in the body, not some airy-fairy notion 
of enlightenment.

Further, that spiritual practices do provide real substantial 
benefits. Similar to the experience of going to sleep and always 
waking up refreshed. If we believe otherwise, that there is no sure 
fire way to gain our freedom, then we are truly lost.

And given that the intense change at the molecular level was
pufification, it implies large scale toxin removal or
transformation. What toxins were these? What molecular or processes
were these toxins blocking  or destroying? 

Given that the molecular purification was intense it must be
quantitively significant -- the change in toxin levels must be clearly
measurable. Have you surveyed any of the literature to see what toxins
dramatically decrease with siddhis practice? Do such findings
correlate with your post siddhis experience (that is, if the research
indicated removal of toxins related to a specific cellular
/physiologic process, did you notice higher level purification in that
area?

Perhaps the intense molecular changes and removal of toxins are not
universal from siddhis practice, per Meridith post. Have you
volunteered for exploratory studies physiological studies to pinpoint
the intense molecular changes and toxin removal in your physiology? If
you are experience intese molecular change and toxin removal from a
mental practice, it would be a milestone in medicine and biology to
pinpoint these changes in your body chemistry. This would be
increadibly important to the advancement of science. If you have not
beat down the doors of Stanford of UC Berkeley to be tested, it seems
selfish given the contribution to the world such findings would bring.

   The champion yogic flyers (Blaine Watson, Eddie Gob, Matt
   Boutrand) were
   all accomplished athletes in their younger days - Blaine was a
   gymnast,
   Eddie a soccer player, Matt's built like an Olympian). Probably
   now, none of
   them can fly as well as they once did, even though their 
level
   of inner
   development has probably evolved. The point being that they 
were
   champions
   because it was primarily a display of physical prowess, not a
   siddhi.
   
   The primary benefit of the flying sutra is intense, molecular 
 level
   purification of the body and its resultant consciousness.
  
  And what causes that? Kundalini stimulation from banging your 
butt 
 on the
  ground?
 
 Ha,ha! I found it was the direct result of invoking the sutra. 
After 
 that I would feel as if my body was turned into light.

Well: bahir akalpitaa vRttir *mahaa-videhaa*; tataH
*prakaashaavaraNa-kSayaH*.  YS III 40-something, next after
aakaasha-gamana-suutra.



 Much less 
 localized

That seems like mahaa-videhaa (great bodylessness?)


 than my typical experience. 
 
 Ultimately though, after doing sidhis for about ten years I stopped 
 doing the program- got everything I wanted out of it. Still do 
 TM...

multiple, independent parties can replicate.

You made a claim about intense molecular purification during siddhis.
I took your claims at face value, but asked pertinent questions
regarding validation. You respond with quite odd logic along the lines
of 'I had a visual experience that looked like atoms in a book thus
that proves it what I experienced was real and molecular.' I
questioned that logic. For that you call me an asshole. 

If you can't back up your claims, or prefer to reduce them to rough
analogies, then fine. But if your best response to someone who is
willing to accept fanstastic claims if at least some validation is
presented, and asks for such, is that they are an asshole, well, that
appears to sum up the substance of your claims, logic and experiences. 

Listen to my wild claims, but don't ask for clairification else you
are an asshole. If only the rest of science were that simple a process.

No rant. Just following things to a logical conclusion. If
you are experiencing intense molecular change and toxin removal from a
mental practice, it would be a milestone in medicine and biology to
pinpoint these changes in your body chemistry. Do you truly disagree?
That you are not having these processes tested and allowing science to
examine and explore them is terribly self-centered and selfish. Do you
really disagree with that?

You use time honored methods to try to avoid scrutiny of your claims
by deflection, name calling and making the questioner the issue.
Perhaps you have found such tactics effective previously and have made
them a habit. Regardless, you are responding in a very odd way for
someone who is making an extraordinary claim and experiencing a
medical / physiological breakthrough. 

My best hypothesis at this point as to why you would act thusly is
that your claims are some kind of odd hoax. Otherwise you would be
open, if not eager for quesions,validation and making a major
contribution to world health.

  The champion yogic flyers (Blaine Watson, Eddie Gob, Matt
  Boutrand) were
  all accomplished athletes in their younger days - Blaine was a
  gymnast,
  Eddie a soccer player, Matt's built like an Olympian). Probably
  now, none of
  them can fly as well as they once did, even though their level
  of inner
  development has probably evolved. The point being that they were
  champions
  because it was primarily a display of physical prowess, not a
  siddhi.
  
  The primary benefit of the flying sutra is intense, molecular 
level
  purification of the body and its resultant consciousness.
 
 And what causes that? Kundalini stimulation from banging your butt 
on the
 ground?


So you're saying there is no mental component to Yogic FLying save a 
deliberate attemptto jump up and down in a funny position? why do I 
go through periods of a lot of jumping and periods of little if any 
jumping, if its that cut and dried?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Charlie Lutes in print audios clips

2006-02-13 Thread Patrick Gillam
Vincent J. Daczynski devotes his site to amazing 
abilities much as Yogananda devoted his autobiography 
to anecdotes of the realized. At one time, such stories 
inspired me because I felt I would achieve such things 
myself. Now my attitude seems to have changed.

Now I'm not too keen on hearing isolated stories of 
this adept here and that healer there. These anomalies 
may point to untapped human potential, but now 
that people have been doing self-development 
practices for decades, I'm more interested in 
finding out works for them.

It's like these studies that put one Buddhist monk 
in an MRI and show the amazing results. What's that 
mean? I have to live in a monastery for 30 years to 
be happy? When you figure out how to package
the bliss, buddy, let me know.

That said, I wonder if there's a way to capitalize
on these super abilities in the context of our 
entertainment-oriented culture. Create a competition
or something. A yogic Olympics, maybe?

pretty quick.

Hi, yeah, its a little weird to keep reading stories about what 
super powers this yogi or that manifested. The best book on that was 
Yogananda's, but agreed that it gets old after awhile. 

The thing to go for is your own freedom. The odd thing about that,

I agree with what Patrick Gillam wrote  Thosedaysthat peoplesearchedfor strange and amazingeventswithin thedeep forests ofHimalayas, mountainsand other places where adepts livedare over.  Today weare witnessing all sorts of siddhis from invisibility to levitation , reading minds and ...etc. ( I know friends that have started levitating -They stay floated in the air for minutes)  Therefore what Yogananda has written in his book is beautiful and interesting yet is noting new these days andwe seepeopleare in needof further advance techniques for their desires and progress in life.  Package of Techniques must be prepared for this thirst.  This is called real business.  We are all aware that we live inaworld which has reached its own evolutionary climax.

all this superpower stuff and themselves.
