Barry writes snipped:
Being able to perform siddhis doesn't make a
person good, and being bad doesn't prevent a
person from being able to do them. Used as some
kind of "measure" of a person's enlightenment,
the siddhis are just as big a failure as any
other "measurement" you might imagine.

As I have mentioned here a few times before I feel strongly they were
just another misdirection to keep you on the path. Like the magicians
waving of the one hand while the other hand is doing all the work.
Who's ego wouldn't be fascinated by being able to fly and all that
other stuff. The real work was being accomplished in the process of
the technique. He told you what you wanted to hear while he was
f*cking with your mind to get you to do what he wanted. Very clever
and cagey old buzzard. Tom
