On 2003/04/16 20:27, Rick Mayweather posted thus to the K-list:
Are you saying that by working with the Kabbalah you can awaken a specific
Siddhi of choice as opposed to Kundalini Yoga whereby some may just happen?
Is'nt the goal of both for self realisation or is it in the eye of the
beholder?
Is Kabbalah/magic a path for self realisation or something else entirely.
When these Siddhis are performed, are they performed at will, or
spontaneously without will. That could be quite embarassing needless to
say, cause quite a stir.
