Then, make use of the Siddhis for the benefit of mankind. Dear Mr.hyperbolicgeometry; I see you are still questioning my wisdom and writing ability; That's fine. But my point is still not taken. It is quite true, that siddhi are quite natural to life in enlightenment... And not much attention is called to them, when they happen,. Just like 'A Course In Miracles', says: "Miracles are natural to life". But that is life without the ego; In enlightenment, you are one with the 'force', the 'flow'. So, there are all kinds of things possible, in the Quatum Mechanical state, that are not concievable, let alone possible in the Newtonian state. So, therefore, I am not at issue with you concerning the possibilities of siddhis beyond the magic trick variety... But, I would say, that to judge the value of Clint Eastwood's work, for example, and to not even know what happens in his life, on a daily basis, is profoundly stupid. Jesus' formula for enlightenment= no judgement & unconditional love, creates all miracles, worth being called miracles.
