‘Flying Yogics’ Explains Hopping Mad OWS

Some folk are mystified by a video showing Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists prepping for May Day Protest events by hopping their way “bunny style” to the call of their leaders for a kumbia group hug. “Yes, those people are hopping to the circle where they execute the group hug. (And nowhere is the strange hopping explained).” (The Blaze, April 11, 2011).

OWS activists hopping to their group hug triggered by a leader shouting “Love is the answer” are not making like the Easter bunny. They are in their own minds (believe it or not) getting ready for the next battle against capitalism by practicing--“flying yogics”. It should be no surprise to Glenn Beck, who was the first to report on the inauguration of Yoga at the first OWS protest, that The OWS hop seen on the video clip is a form of yogic flying. “This guide is for mediator-sidhas who, as trained yogic flyers, want to enhance their flying experience. With rare exception, today’s yogic flying is in an initial stage--it appears less like flying and more like hopping.” (Yahoo)

“To the untrained eye or to the cynic, yogic flying may look very much like awkward cross legged hopping, but at advanced states it feels like flying, advocates insist.” (Canada Free Press, Feb. 14, 2005). Before crossing off OWS as crazy, film maker David Lynch, and three-time candidate of the National Law Party for President of the United States John Hagelin are among the many who believe in the peace power of yogic flying. “Hagelin was appointed Raja of Invincible America by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and is also President of the US Peace Government. He is Executive Director of the International Center for Invincible Defense, Executive Director of the Global Financial Capital of New York,[3][4] Executive Director of the Center for Leadership Performance,[5] Director of the Board of Advisors for the David Lynch Foundation,[6] Honorary Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Maharishi University of Management,[7] and International Director of the Global Union of Scientists for Peace.”[8] (Wikipedia). Political leaders of the Maharishi include former Mozambique President and UN envoy Joaquim Alberto Chissano,who after first instructing his Cabinet ministers to follow suit, then had his government officers and the military trained in Transcendental Meditation. Advocates of yogic flying believe in “Peace Palaces” as advocated by the Global Country of World Peace, founded on October 7, 2000, by His Holiness, the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, “legendary sage from the Vedic tradition, together with scientists, educators, professionals and peace-loving citizens of more than 100 nations.” “Its purpose is to provide a global home for peace-loving people everywhere and to bring to the worlds the complete science and technology of total Natural Law to prevent problems, raise every nation to invincibility, and promote permanent world peace.” At last count, His Holiness, once spiritual advisor to the Beatles, was planning some 3,000 ‘peace palaces’ for cities around the world. (We don’t know whether he would have included city parks like Zuccotti as official peace palaces). As described by their advocates, “peace palaces are houses with large rooms where yogic flyers can “take off together”. Each peace palace would be home to 100 or 200 “peace creating” experts.” Latest apostle to the peace movement is Attorney General Eric Holder, who yesterday while praising left-wing activist Al Sharpton for his “tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless” called members of his Justice Department “peacemakers”. Meanwhile, flying yogics is not the kind of flight some wish on the public nuisance called OWS.
