Never mind. :-)
*lol* I tend to agree with you, except when the "siddhi" specifically involves another's healing. Then, though *we* may see that the healing *has* occurred, the end-result is predominantly still up to the other, as it so intimately involves *their* reality they are upholding. So perhaps we are saying the same thing -- the ability to see and recognize the healing depends very much on the consciousness of the viewers :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
