My experience of the sidhis is that they manifest in my personality, because the sidhis are aspects of our personalities. I haven't felt any sort of fear due to their practice, like fear that I might fall from awakening, no, my regular activity sponsors those notions.  Over my life I have developed all the characteristics that the sidhis were supposed to create such as greater friendliness, compassion, etc... especially in the transcendence and senses sutras. However, as MMY intended they also show me how pure I am.  I am not pure. I need much work. I never claimed Brahman Consciousness, as I believe it means nothing especial.  Just a more egoic notion of turiya. Albeit a more wholistic notion. I honestly think that the notion of humans having sidhis in this century is a prerequisite for being burned alive, so choose to display if that's your choice, but I wouldn't. Not with Ratzinger watching.   Nonetheless, I don't feel awakening could have happened without direct introduction to the steady state of the Dharmata. Though I knew what it and I was noone had ever empowered me to it wholly and dgiven me the keys to the kingdon prior to my Vajrayana Gurus such as Kunzang Dechen Lingpa, Karma Llundrub Rinpoche, Penor Rinpoche, Dalai Lama. These were truely empowering people who said, "Now you have the entire doctrine, you are a truth holder and chakra turner."  They gave me all this and more and freely gave it not judging me by my limited skin color, personality, or any relative consideration. I received the most deepest Kalachakra initiation of the Vajra Master from HHDL,an initiation not normally given by HHDL. Though I was not givent the secret word empowerment which is the final, and one which I certainly do not deserve.   Maharishi never gave me jack. I payed for it all. I'm ok with that, but he never gave me empowerments to be a better personality. Or empowered my personality to act as the vehicle for everyone's attainment. No, Buddha only gave me that.  Until one is specifically called and given the keys to the vehicle they ain't going nowhere.   Maybe this Raaj thing is just that. But I got mine on the cheap so I don't need it. I have found that the sidhis don't accomplish much in the relative due to my lack of enlightenment. But if I can accept things as they are and get down with that then the sidhis manifest in terms of wholeness of desire, that is, my desires are for a huge accomplishment, or sidhi style accomplishment, and not for small things, such as material desires.   On the other hand, I have no desires for sidhis either, as the supreme sidhi of final accomplishment is what I desire. I would like to levitate but it wouldn't mean shit as noone can even comprehend me now. So why fly out of mind. Nonetheless I think some of you will accomplish this and then split the earth. That's not my goal. I can't rapture on out with you guys. The first shall be last and all that. So sidhis or not, good luck and I'll hopefully see you all on the other side. Ramble, ramble.   I want to clarify.  Sidhis are ok, but not all that. They certainly don't necessarily make one enlightened, or produce enlightenment for others, especially at the steep price one pays in actual money. No Bodhisattva can really get down with them, as they are glorified ignorance.   The simple Dharmata is the truth and it doesn't translate into the dualistic mind which is why one must accept their ignorance and be cool with it. Because ignorance is the flip of knowledge both of which are relative and dualistic. When ignorance is accepted then so also enlightenment. And both are discounted by the percentage of the Dharmata experienced. Final state is either complete ignorance and enlightenment or no ignorance and no enlightenment. But not one or the other.   Don't get it, then you must ask Mahakali for help understanding. When the ignorance is also accepted other than being fought tooth and nail then, and only then, can one experience the present without resentment. And in the present all the Devas are winking.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Vaj To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Why Samyama won't lead to CC; was Real Advaita, Pseudo-Advaita On Apr 20, 2005, at 8:51 AM, Patrick Gillam wrote: > > Setting aside the texts for a moment, what are > peoples' experiences with the TM-Siddhi > program?

In my experience of the siddhis they are subtle and sometime not-so-subtle experiences which have an outward manifestation--that is; they are subtle INWARD experiences which you oddly notice reflected in the OUTER. The problem is from my perspective, is they are experiences and therefore represent a duality. You would absolutely have to remain in a state of total equipoise and not be distracted from a unified state in other words for them to be of value. Otherwise you end up creating attachment and powerful karma at the subtle level.
