I think this is why TM is included as part of the practice of the sidhis, because this ensures that the continued 'fast' experience of transcending to Pure Conciousness [with TM] 'purifies' the practice of the sidhis, keeping the mind focused on the end goal, and helping to avoid getting lost in the sidhis practice. No question the sidhis are very very powerful. One of their most useful aspects is the use of this power to increase perception so that we can more easily see Reality in everyday activity, and by so doing discriminate it from falseness. The 'side effect' though, is that this practice completely destroys the grip of the limited self on our awareness. So rather than understanding the sidhis as an impediment to liberation, when practiced as the TM-Sidhis program, they are a massive accelerator towards liberation. ------------------------ Yahoo!
