> [@The King of Soup](#): > > The TM people are ahead of you Wow, King, you were right. Google “[yogic flying](http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=yogic+flying&meta=)” and see. Here’s a fun [article](http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/viewcolumn.php?id=36) from some sap who thought he’d floated using TM™. Does this mean that if I tell enough people that I’m made of spaghetti, some mooks will believe me? Can I just say anything? Never mind. I can see that the dratted Maharishi has predated me by several decades, but this changes nothing! It just means I shall have to speed up the transformation from charismatic visionary to paranoid recluse a bit quicker than I’d planned. Damn all of you back-stabbing weasels! I entrust you with the Principles of Lev™, and this is how you repay me! ---

All you need is a fresh spin on Levitation and an introductory couse on how all the other Levitation methods are wrong. ---

One problem with that business card, **fontor**. If you want your clients, or acolytes (marks is far to demeaning a term to use.) to accept your counterfactual process comparing **Lev[sup]tm[/sup]** to Reiki is a bad way to start - you’re implying that there is some basis for rational consideration to **Lev[sup]tm[/sup]**. And we all know you want to avoid that. Rather say something along the lines of most 12 yo’s enjoy **Lev[sup]tm[/sup]**, instead of enjoying debunking Reiki. And after all, to be able to levitate one should have the mind of a child. 😉 (Standard consultation fee will be billed to your account.) ---
