See this film: David Wants to Fly at the Brattle

If the late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had his way, we'd all be enlightened and floating in the air, our asses six inches off the ground. Looking into the state of Transcendental Meditation is filmmaker David Sieveking, who was drawn to the movement because his idol David Lynch is one of its biggest advocates. As he shows in his documentary David Wants to Fly, everything is not quite blissful in the realm of TM. It plays as part of the Brattle's "DocYard" series, and if this movie doesn't get you to check out that excellent program, not even the Maharishi can help you. Get elevated at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge |  March 15 @ 7 pm | $9.75; $7.75 students; $6.75 seniors | 617.876.6837 or brattlefilm.org.

    I went to India to become one of Maharishi's teachers' of meditation decades ago. Not only did I become one of his devotees, I became his lover. David Sieveking interviews me in this documentary, and I will attend the showing to answers questions after the film. Sieveking plans to participate as well via Skype. "Robes of Silk, Feet of Clay is the title of my new book on this subject".
