________________
through my mind and time seemed to stand still as I moved in a dreamlike sense of space. I became so fascinated in the bubbles of light passing through my mind that I merely followed them to the other side of the snow bridge and to safety.
On the other side, I waited while my companions walked the snow bridge, following the marks that my sticks had made in the snow. They took about 30 to 40 minutes to reach where I stood whereas I had only taken about 3 or 4 minutes to cover the same distance.
"Guruji, how did you do that?" "You looked like you were flying." "Are you a bird?" were some of their comments and questions. I only remarked that it must have been some of the herbs that I had previously eaten and let it go at that.
Actually, I have had even bigger experiences at flying and jumping since then, but my experience on the snow bridge in Kashmir was the first time that I had ever levitated. The experience showed me that it is possible to levitate if you are in perfect balance with the energy of your higher Self. If you learn how to control the flow of energy from your pranic body, you can overcome the effects of gravity and fly whenever and wherever you want to. For consciousness and its power of imagination is the purest and most efficient basis for flying and other acts that take place on the psychic plane of existence.
