I am not sure I agree with the "indications of good progress" thing, but I'm fine with other people believing it. > But they are not indications of enlightenment. Yup. I would go so far as to say that IMO there is no relationship whatsoever between one's enlightenment and one's ability to perform the siddhis. Interestingly enough, this is what I remember *Maharishi* teaching back in the early days of the TM movement. Does anyone else hear remember him saying that at the early Tahoe courses?
