Of course as you konw Vaj siddhis as well as mantras work on the

that in these discussions there is an ignorance of this important
yogic
science. To me it is very clear: the mantras resonate with my nervous
system and then modify it until it sustains that experience and
thus you
have mantra siddhi. It is the same law of physics that makes a glass
vibrate when it is at a resonant frequency. However the glass does
not
have the flexibility to adapt to the vibration and if too intense
shatters.
I draw a distinction between the coincidental spontaneity of mantra
siddhi and consciously sought after siddhi. In the case of the
latter, shakti is aroused up a path other than the sushumna and
directly awakens certain dalas, the petals of the sahasara, giving
bliss and experiences at first but it does not have access to bindu,
underlying oneness, through this pathway. It's a dead end.
Mantra-siddhi coincidentally awakened is the will of the ishta-devata
put into action which remains untainted by ego or "I" (and therefore
remains an expression of natural law).
