---Thanks, Jim...(below - do I have any answers of my own? Not to any single, arbitrarily picked Sidhi you can pick out of a hat, or a particular solution to a mathematical problem) (say, the Riemann Hypothesis); but I do have at least 500 entries in Sloane's Encyclopedia of Integer sequences (online). This type of knowledge was acquired by a "partial" Sidhi; meaning - by analogy - that one can hop before full levitation. The point is, that there are no certitudes regarding Sidhis. Certain idiot-savants have the most remarkable mental Sidhis. Helen Lutes said that she had certain psychic Sidhis before beginning TM, but that after starting TM, MMY (and her natural absorbtion in Being) allowed her to pass beyond those psychic levels. However, one can just as well have NO Siddhis and pass beyond all levels. All claims as to possession of Sidhis quickly place one on a slippery slope to the most absurd conclusions: such claims lead to an infinite regress of more, upon more, upon more: if Superman can lift a small moon, then a double-Superman can lift two moons, and so on. At any rate, I don't even accept the supposed fact of your own Enlightenment. Here's an E'd person. You can't hold a candle to him:
