I don't ever think about it, really, for to do so would be to project myself into the future, or the past, which is something I just don't do, for the simple reason that the future and past don't, in reality, exist.
However, the intellect functioning in ignorance will create past and future, and by this construct, be unable to embody the paradox of what I have said about the ME. Is that what you are grappling with? Also, my siddhis were free, as a result of a work exchange program. Didn't cost me a cent. At the time, I was "pre-career", and very focused on my spiritual development anyway, so no trade-off either. Just free.
