Dear List,

In answer to Angelique's questions (see below) , I haven't experienced much
in the way of Siddis.

3. Have you felt other peoples emotions as if they are your own?
 a) yes.

7. Have you known things you could not logically know, like where some
ones lost object was, or what they were doing when you were not physically
 present? Other things? Feel free to give examples.
a) yes.

 I didn't really understand some of the "messages" I was given until the
symbols were later made clear. Things like I AM THAT I AM, and Alpha and
Omega. I had heard the phrases, of course, but at the time I received the
messages I didn't know their significance--still don't, really :)).
Perhaps this should come under something like "channeling"??

8. Have you imagined or wished for someone to do something, and they did?
 Have you ever felt like your thoughts affect what other people do, like you
  have mind control powers?
a) yes. very occasionally

With this and a few other questions, I sometimes sense that I should be
careful what I am thinking.

I'll also add the very modern Siddhi of finding parking places. LOL This one
is uncanny. People pull out right in front of me, in areas where places are
usually impossible to find.

I also often find now that with a bit of patience, problems/duties seem now
to clear up on their own. I don't advise abusing this one, though!

Let me add my caution to those of others here. Opened my Ramana Maharshi
notebook right to this spot LOL. p. 551

The powers manifest only when there is the ego....

Self-Realization may be accompanied by occult powers or it may not be. If
the person had sought such powers before Realization, he may get the powers
after Realization. There are others who had not sought such powers and had
attempted only Self-Realisation. They do not manifest such powers.

These powers may also be sought and gained even after Self-Realisation. but
then they are used for a definite purpose, i.e. the benefit of others...

Also: p. 17. "Telepathy or radio enables one to see and hear from afar.
They are all the same, hearing and seeing. Whether one hears from near or
far does not make any difference in hearing. The fundamental factor is the
hearer, the subject. Without the hearer or the seer, there can be no hearing
or seeing. The latter are the functions of the mind. The occult powers
(siddhis) are therefore only in the mind. They are not natural to the Self.
That which is not natural, but acquired, cannot be permanent, and is not
worth striving for.

They denote extended powers. A man is possessed of limited powers and is
miserable; he wants to expand his powers so that he may be happy. But
consider if it will be so; if with limited perceptions one is miserable, with
extended perceptions the misery must increase proportionately. Occult powers
will not bring happiness to anyone, but will make him all the more miserable!

Moreover what are these powers for? The would-be occultist ...desires to
display the siddhis so that others may appreciate him. He seeks
appreciation, and if it is not forthcoming he will not be happy. ..

Love, Hillary
