TM practitioners build 'Shield of Invincibility'

THURSDAY, 27 JULY 2006

In Israel, a group of transcendental meditation (TM) practitioners are building a "Shield of Invincibility" around the Jewish state through Yogic flying.

Yogic flying is the supposed ability to levitate through the advanced practice of TM. Basing from a formula that says that the square root of one percent of a country's population is the number needed to create a shield of invincibility, 265 people have to simultaneously do yogic flying.

However, the group of TM practitioners which includes architects and health workers has failed to reach that target number. Their number dwindled from 65 to 20. Reuven Zelinkovsky, a former colonel in the Israeli army and a member of the yogic flying group, says that it is the reason why the war between Israel and Lebanon has not stopped yet.

In Lebanon, another yogic flying group is said to be at work, says Zelinkovsky. However, they are not in contact with them.
