Hey guys, long time no talk, I hope you're all doing great!
I wanted to write about Enlightenment and the super powers today. To aquire the super powers enlightenment is required. With Samadhi (enlightenment) you can do what is called a Samyana.
A samyana is when you focus on one thing with the state of Samadhi. Patanjali has the whole third part of his book dedicated to the super powers and various Samayanas you can do to practice aquiring super powers and applying the state of Samadhi. An example of this is:
"When the anti-gravitational vital force that has an ascending flow is directly understood, there follow powers of levitation and passage over water, mud, thorny bush, etc., without coming into contact with them."
The passage itself is complex but I hope you can understand the idea.
In my past life I aquired the state of Samadhi and various siddhis as well. It is said in the Bhagavad Gita by Krishna that "Nothing gained is ever lost". I asked my guru about this and he said that I have never lost the state of Samadhi nor the siddhis, they are merely covered by my mind. Like clouds covering the sun my mind covers the Self. I chose to come into this life with no prior knowledge so I could learn to teach others; otherwise I would be enlightened right now with various siddhis.
I want you people to see these truths as well, to know the glorys of Samadhi and such. Right now, I admit to you I have no siddhis; I have tried to move things with telekinesis to no avail. But when I am able to see my abilites again and use them I will show you all, but not for my own ego gratification. I wish to convert you to a happier life filled with bliss and wonder, unmatched by even your greatest dreams.
I am going to change the world.

Hi Joshua you mention some insight to levitation technique Can you add this data to the levitation thread? We are currently using it as a sort of scrapbook brainstorming line of thought there are several on this forum dedicated to understanding the process of using levitation as a technique. http://www.psychokinesis.activeboard.com/t18491823/levitation/?page=last#lastPostAnchor

There is no failure only feedback. Failure is when you stop trying.
Yes actually, I have made definite progress lately and I'll share it with you here now as I feel you'll find it interesting.
There is a mantra which directs the Kundalini energy at the base of your spine up the spine and to the forehead. The energy channel inside the spinal cord is actually called the Sushuma nadi which is what the energy is currently traveling up and down in for me right now.
When I do the Mantra the energy gets extremely intense, it feels as if my entire body is full of electricity and is buzzing. I break out in a sweat and every now and then when the energy comes on too strong my mind will actually shut down and I'll black out. Ill immediately come back too not knowing what happened. A cooling sensation then replaces the extreme heat from a few seconds prior and the energy pulsates in my head. I can see the lines of energy slightly in my vision of the reality in front of me as well.
Also, sometimes I will feel a pain at my third eye or the Ajna chakra as its properly called. This pain isnt pleasent but my Guru has told me it is the energy moving to the Chakra and a sign it will open soon. There are abilities which come with this and I dont know much about it now besides this vague description"control over everything" and "being able to see behind things".
You see when I black out doing the Mantra it is because the energy is too intense for my mind to handle so it shuts down. When the mind shuts down I enter into the state of enlightenment otherwise known as Samadhi. But because I do the mantra standing right now, when I fall my mind immediatly comes back on. I am working on Asanas to give myself a solid base so I can sit and enter fully into Samadhi with this energy.
I am not focusing on supernatural powers right now (Siddhis) because the state of infinite bliss (Samadhi) is my foremost goal at the moment. Once I do attain Samadhi though which will be very soon I am going to attain some of the Siddhis and then I will speak in much greater depth about them with you guys.
Jesus displayed siddhis among many others in the bible, and if you read Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda you will notice more examples of these powers.
If you want the freedom you are striving for, if you want the ability to fly, walk on water, and do whatever you want. Attain Samadhi first and become firmly grounded in that state; only then will your dreams become a reality.
