There is waking, dreaming, sleeping, and in meditation, TC. Any of these four 
can cross over each other in meditation. Some individuals have more leakage 
between these states than others, if some current research is correct. What 
happens if the mind is crossing between waking and dreaming and TC and 
something is introduced such as a conscious thought (I am relying on others 
here for the description of TM's sanyama)?

There is one other situation in which waking and sleeping and dreaming cross 
over, and that is sleepwalking, and people have been reported to have done some 
rather astonishing things in this state. Could sanyama be a deliberate 
technique to foster this state?

The "laws of nature" are the devas, in Maharishi-speak. When they aren't dealt 
with appropriately, the behavior of the devas defaults to the laws of physics 
and so on. When they are dealt with appropriately, they can be reasoned with, 
or coaxed, or something, to behave in ways different than their default mode of 
conduct.

Or something.

"Well, John Hagelin convinced himself, just as MMY did, that success in the 
siddhis was "just around the corner," and his rhetoric for the past 30 years 
has reflected that."

Two very different motivations, though. Maharishi saw it that way, as someone 
living an eternal life, in terms of the inevitability of success, vs. 
correlating it to a specific time-frame. Success may be just around the corner, 
but to Maharishi, it didn't matter that the block that needed to be traversed, 
to reach the corner, was immense. Hagelin, then, was just saying what his boss 
said.

The laws "in the vicinity" of our planet are stupid? He clearly never
studied physics like he claimed then, for they are the same everywhere.

He never talked in terms of defeat.

MMY used to say that the laws of nature in the vicinity of our planet were

Um, dude...you can practice the TM-Siddhis program, in the comfort and privacy 
of your own home. Or you can practice it at a TM Center, free of charge. 

As for the actual flying being of no consequence, actually *doing* the 
practice, is the difference between thinking about Hawaii, and actually going 
there. As a result, there is more than enough progress happening, that the 
notion of physically flying becomes a big so what. The flying sutra is the most 
integrated one, for our physiology, but all the others kick ass, as well. No 
point in just focusing on that cherry on top.

The claimed effect of coherence in collective consciousness will
be massivley enhanced if people float wouldn't it? Sounds like
that would be the whole point.

as far as the purpose of the TM-Sidhis is concerned. IT's all about samyama and

Yogic flying is all about getting off the ground while performing samyama. IT 
don't matter how.

Legend claims that eventually people are able to sit in the air, but whether or 
not someone floats or ever has or ever will is immaterial as far as the purpose 
of the TM-Sidhis is concerned. IT's all about samyama and the physiological 
effect on the nervous system from doing samyama with specific sutras.

I'd hold off on speculation on how levitation, floating stage, works until 
someone has shown levitation, floating stage. Otherwise, you're like John 
Hagelin, making public statements for the sake of his beloved guru.
