For many people on the so called spiritual quest, this is their goal, to
obtain Siddhis, but they can change, so it's not useless.
The Siddhis come from the mind, and the mind is a small part of the Self.
This is why when your re-incarnated the Siddhis no longer exist, because the
mind is re-made because the consciousness is re-born so to speak that
creates the mind.
This has always made me wonder what the mind really is, my ever evolving
theory is that the mind or the mental body is re-created every birth. But
the creation process we go through in creating and developing our minds is
flawed because of the way society fabricates it.
The higher mind is also called the Self, to be clear my understanding is
that the Siddhis come from the lower mind, not the Self, although the source
of all is the Self, so perhaps the lower mind is a tool like a magnifying
glass that is created every life.
To have all of the minor and major Siddhis represents a perfect mind.
Would like to hear other viewpoints, as I have some confusion here, but this
is how I feel my way.
