Hi,
GGM was always willing to demonstrate his skills. I recall a student I met a few times at his house in Albuquerque, who took him up on a claim that he could jump onto the roof of his house. GGM scheduled a time for him to come to his house to demonstrate. This student told me he brought his camera and met GGM at his house. I believe he suggested, or new, that GGM had been meditating beforehand, and that his complexion was very pale. He said that GGM proceeded to get into a standing horse stance, and in one movement, from the static horsestance, jumped up onto the roof.
The student failed to snap the photo, as he was too affected by demo to snap the picture! If I remember right, he actually got sick to his stomach watching. Although I didn't see this personally, I don't doubt it. I accidentally caught him moving once, and something about it didn't make sense regarding normal physics. There was no 'blur' to the movement. A beginning, a single frame shot of the technique at its peak, and back again. No middle, no blur of movement. And, he was able to look at me entering, while he was doing this technique with someone else, and let me know I wasn't supposed to be there. Too much seemed to happen all in one instant, and I too felt quite queezy, and had to grab the wall to catch my balance.
