Exactly. I think that's the factor that makes all the difference. And in my opinion it can't be overcome intellectually. The belief you speak of is *not* at an intellectual level. As you say, it's a "gut" experience. Quite literally, your *body* has to believe that the sidhi is possible. Interestingly enough, one of the benefits of witnessing the sidhis is being able to sit in their energy field. If you are sitting close enough to witness the sidhi, you are sitting within the aura of the state of attention that makes the sidhi possible. It is a transformative experience. The energy field is so powerful that your *body* can't resist it. You get to "wear" that state of attention for a little while, to experience first-hand what it feels like to be in the mindstate from which that sidhi is possible. It's just the damnedest thing. Words fail me. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
