At one time, such stories  inspired me because I felt I would achieve such things  myself. Now my attitude seems to have changed. Now I'm not too keen on hearing isolated stories of  this adept here and that healer there. These anomalies  may point to untapped human potential, but now  that people have been doing self-development  practices for decades, I'm more interested in  finding out works for them. It's like these studies that put one Buddhist monk  in an MRI and show the amazing results. What's that  mean? I have to live in a monastery for 30 years to  be happy? When you figure out how to package the bliss, buddy, let me know. That said, I wonder if there's a way to capitalize on these super abilities in the context of our  entertainment-oriented culture. Create a competition or something. A yogic Olympics, maybe? If you did, you'd just create attachment to the outward stroke. If "it" (the siddhi) becomes an object, you immediately fall into ignorance IMO. These are normally experienced as signs of progress *spontaneously* unless there is a specific reason you are cultivating a certain manifestation of energy (e.g. tummo) and maintaining a specific POV to use it. .02 USD To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
