Transcendental Meditation Levitation Validated


My Dad was(and maybe still is) a follower of Transcendental Meditation. We always thought it was a hoot, the thought that he might levitate one day. My brother and I were very scathing, with visions of him floating off the kitchen table. Such cynics, the Scots.

Scientists from my home town, St Andrews have made big steps (floats?) and have demonstrated levitation for small objects.

Casimir force — discovered in 1948 and first measured in 1997 — can be seen in a gecko’s ability to stick to a surface with just one toe.

Now the scientists from St Andrews University say they can reverse the Casimir force to cause an object to repel rather than attract another in a vacuum.

“The Casimir force is the ultimate cause of friction in the nano world, in particular in some micro-electromechanical systems,” said Leonhardt, writing in the August issue of New Journal of Physics.


Now to move on to 100 kilogram objects. ummmmmmmmmm

Regarding Transcendental Meditation and the organizations claims of levitation: Many critics consider Transcendental Meditation a cult led by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. For an alternative view of the TM Movement, readers may be interested in checking out TM-Free Blog, TranceNet.net, or my counseling site, KnappFamilyCounseling.com, where individuals recovering from Transcendental Meditation and similar groups will find helpful information.

TM is really a great technique, I have been practicing for quite come time and it has helped me develop a sense of harmony and self reliance which a been the basis of many improvements in my life. On a more global effect, the positive influence of TM, can be felt at a societal level, so that society as a whole becomes more harmonious and problem free. A good explanation of this process can be found at http://www.truthabouttm.org/truth/SocietalEffects/Rationale-Research/index.cfm

TM is great. And, I've been doing the "levitation thing" for thirty years now. All you skeptics out there ought to do your homework. Consider what Dr. Raymond Russ, Professor Psychology at the University of Maine and editor of the Journal of Mind and Behavior wrote about the the flying program and the Maharishi Effect - the effects of groups of people doing the flying things in a group and, consequently, dissolving negativity in the surrounding vicinity:
"The hypotheses that violence can be prevented by Maharishi’s…programs definitely raised some eye-brows among our reviewers. But, the statistical work is sound. The numbers are there. When you can statistically control for as many variables as these studies do, it makes the results much more convincing. This evidence indicates that we now have a new technology to generate peace in the world."
There are 600 published studies out there folks. Read em and learn something outside the little boxes you've accepted as reality.
People don't do the flying program to flit around like Peter Pan. They do it and I do it because of the undeniable and repeatedly demonstrable brain coherence that is only available during the flying program. Brain coherence, as verifiable effect of regularly experience Transcendental Consciousness, is just one of those things that you have to experience to believe. Those who have experienced it through TM or the Sidhis just laugh at those who think the whole thing is a cult ritual or a looney tunes thing. Educate yourself through your own direct experience and then let's hear your wonderful opinions.

TM is overated and absurdly overpriced! The late Mahari$hi must have known that the TM experience disapates over time so he offered advanced techniques in order to collect more zillions of $
from rich meditators! Is buttbouncing worth $5000
minimum? I remember hearing on occasions that TM was, or became designed for the rich. Now I believe that is true. Ask the meditators in Fairfield, Iowa how they managed to pay for the various TM courses. The probable response would be "the money just came to me". I have heard that response many times from meditators. They must have terrific karma to miraculously attract
$10000-$20000 to pay those TM courses! Were bank employees divinely inspired to transfer large sums to the accounts of those holy meditators?
