   "The ultimate object of yoga," Dr. Taimni once wrote, "is to reverse the process of centralization of consciousness." Yet many people imagine that they can use what they call yoga to confirm and enhance the centralization of consciousness for the purpose of strengthening and endowing the "me" with powers and immunities. Such an attempt leads to conflict and failure.
