But the 450 "executive governors" who teach the Siddhis remain undaunted and seem grimly determined to spread the new (and expensive) gospel. As Baltimore Lawyer and TM Teacher David Sykes, 28, explains it, levitation comes in three stages-hopping, or lifting off the ground a foot or two; then floating or hovering; and last, "actual mastery of the sky, flying at will."
