Anent a previous exchange we had, to make sure I wasn't misunderstood, when
I said it was obvious to me in group flying situations that no one
practicing the TM-Sidhi Program was levitating, I meant that they were not
hovering. They were certainly lifting off the ground--a few inches, a few
feet. Some, for example, myself, hang briefly for enough of time to create a
sensation of hovering. But, of course, this is not the popular image of
levitation.
Do look into the accounts of flying saints. I don't have references at hand,
but I will send you some when I retrieve them.
Regards,
Steve
