I became a Advanced Transcendental Meditator several years ago, before using TROM.
This advanced (TM-Sidhi) course was paid, and was sold promising a huge betterment in meditation and an acquisition of superpowers like body flying (the ‘yogic fly’, now on video
).
When we asked ours fellows (experienced meditators) about yogic fly, they said “flying is not important, but just an evidence that you are a good meditator”.
All of us (basic TM meditators) thought “How can these people say this about that wonderful ability
”.
Seeking for improvements I did attend the TM-Sidhis training.
In the course I did not fly (about 30% of my colleagues did not fly also).
After the course, a TM trainer from my city invited me to participate of his TM class. Then, at the class, she asked me to explain the benefits of the TM-Sidhis course to his students. I was stuck with my inability to fly and could not explain the benefits I received from TM-Sidhis Course.
Again in my home, shamed, I decided to immerse in myself to identify any improvement on my life, e began to write about. After two weeks I finally had in my hands a 25 pages report! Then I decided to send that report to all my TM-Sidhis course colleagues. Those were my benefits from TM-Sidhis course (and I was not flying yet).
I received several responses, but the best one was: “Leoncio, you are flying higher than us!”. Only then I realised. Flying was not important as were the other benefits.
And all those 25 pages included ONLY internal aspects of myself, and they cannot be viewed externally by someone, except by me.
And those aspects were hidden to me: I had to put a huge effort (14 days) to dig them all.
For example I could then stay focused in same idea for hours, without distraction, effortlessly, in any environment. I also began to hear better than other people with normal hearing.
So is TROM: Move planets out of his orbits is not important. The important is the improvement of your ability in games playing, or in Colleen's words "Knowing how to remove limiting postulates and vanish the mind is the better prize".
