Esoteric interpretation
Levitation is one of the poster’s images of consciousness overcoming an ordinary bodily limit. Floating or flying without familiar support makes spiritual attainment appear to change the relation between mind, body and matter. Its place in the map is therefore symbolic as well as a literal paranormal claim. The label does not explain a reproducible method or show that meditation enables a person to defeat gravity.
