1157 From: "Dave Moore" <riptiz@hotmail.com> Date: Fri Jul 1, 2005 10:44am Subject: Re: Nei Gung Masters/Yoga masters riptiz Offline Send Email Dear All, I have read with interest the replies regarding the siddhis, some sceptical some not. I can tell you that the siddhis are real and some have been demonstrated to me and in fact I can easily send healing distantly as can many people I know.As a result of meditation the abilities increase further than what is possible simply by Reiki or other systems.It is a minor siddhi just as clairvoyancy is.Siddhis are not normally practised but are a result of the path to enlightenment although with healing you can easily start with Reiki or other systems and will find substantial improvement in channneling abilities if you use other practices for cleansing.(AYP, hatha, tai chi etc)You will very rarely get a siddha to demonstrate the siddhis as one result of enlightenment is a dissolvement of the ego, so why would they want to demonstrate?They would gain nothing by this act as they are not feeding an ego. My guru can scan anyone distantly from where she lives in India and give a personality reading, pinpoint illness, read your energy levels.Not only has she proved this to me by reading me but she has done so with others who she knows nothing about and been correct.She does not do this without permission as it is an invasion of privacy otherwise.She has other gifts which I don't know about as it is seen as a distraction from the path and as yogani says when we have them we wont be looking for them anyway.An analogy I like to use is if you are going from your back door(you in the present), to the garden gate(enlightenment), then if you stop to smell the flowers(looking for siddhis), then it will take you longer to reach the gate. If however you walk directly to the gate , you will still smell the flowers along the way. The siddhis come whether you want them or not and only when God is ready to give them and I think when you are mature enough to handle them.Unfortunately some gurus have been corrupted by the siddhis and have used them for personal gain and have given themselves and others a bad name.Maybe looking for $1,000,000 would be seen as a corrupt use of the gifts?

It's claims of being able to do things like levitate at will and then being unwilling( really = unable) to do it in a way that would prove it to us --- it's such claims that I am turning a harsh, hard-nosed light on.
I don't need any convincing that very unusual things can happen physiologically. I've actually *experienced* such things myself.

I agree. I think these things are possible and have experienced them myself, but they are hardly at my will; not by a long shot.
I seem to meet a lot of people that claim to be able to levitate, move objects, etc. at will but they always have some reason why they cannot do it "right now."
There's something kind of weird about people walking around saying they can do that stuff anyway. I always wonder what use it has LOL, even though sometimes I wish I could pull a Mary Poppins and have the clothes all stack themselves and put themselves away.that I have a use for!
To be honest, I would really enjoy seeing someone do this stuff at will.
Ah.perhaps some day.

Thanks for your comments. I do not think that yogis or nei gung masters are in the buisiness of making money. I do not think they practise so hard to make it a point to demonstrate what they can do to the public. I am sure if they were to find the correct disciple they would demonstrate something to them. They are not in the buisiness of atracting attention.
