Hi there,
Siddhis may be an indispensable part of someone’s Sadhana. I’ve had some ‘beyond ordinary’ experiences with Samyama and feel it is my duty and my Spiritual path to explore them deeper, to get better mastery and understanding of them. In the process of doing that I improve myself and often find new things from the spiritual areas not directly related to the experiences I explore.
When addressing and trying to discuss my experiences with other ‘spirituality related’ persons I usually find a common cliché reply that ‘Siddhis are not good for harmonious spiritual evolution, they are more an obstacle and mislead you from the true path of Unity’. As per my observation, these replies usually come from persons who have not the vaguest idea of the actual experiences I relate to… Are they not replying this way to simply justify their lack of clear deeper experiences?
Yes, I do understand that Siddhis are not the ultimate Spiritual goal themselves. But what if they come as a part of your path? There’s a lot of knowledge and exploration related even to those limited phenomena I was able to find and get some mastery of. If you are in a society where the overwhelming majority are illiterate in the areas you explore and experience, does it mean the things you do experience are ‘useless’ and ‘misleading’? I’m getting some very strong doubts about them being so.
