So you're saying that someone in Unity may have not ability to perform the Sidhis and still 

be in Unity?


No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that magical powers are usually the domain of yoga- and samkhya- darshana, not advaita vedanta. I'm also just repeating what was my impression (clear siddhis as a critieria for CC) and that of some M. students here who spent a lot of time around M.

Are you saying that Patanjali didn't have any concept of Unity Consciousness, or that the 

Yoga Sutras techniques CANNOT lead one to Unity even if there are other things that can 

lead to the state faster?


No that's not what I'm saying. I'm merely pointing out that 'siddhis as signposts' is a yoga-sutra thing, not an advaita vedanta thing. As we've discussed before, the primary text on jivan-mukti (CC) and videha-mukti (UC) in the Shank. trad. warns siddhis (esp. yogic flying) will increase our power-of-delusion (maya-shakti).
