The types of Siddhis (Magical Empowerments) one tends to gain while on a path to enligthenment

Just like Going to college, enlightenment is a tangible thing. It is not just some arbitrary hocus pocus thing that goes bump in the night. For example, in Tibetan Buddhism, the first step is learning compassion for oneself and all other beings. The reason for this is Siddhis without compassion just causes your death and everyone else's. Power without compassion is death surely and quickly.

So, I see Siddhis as a reward for first learning to be compassionate to yourself and all other beings in the universe. Without first obtaining compassion for yourself and all beings Siddhis only lead to insanity and death.

In my own life some Siddhis I have brought over from previous embodiments like seeing clearly the past, present and future at a distance. I find this very useful to avoid acccidental death for myself and others. Also, in this blog I find it useful to help mankind. If they can see what is coming then maybe they can prepare for it. Also, when you see the future you begin to change it to a better one, that is true for me but also for others who hear about the future and allows them to create a better future than I might see. So, for me, seeing the future, present and past at a distance allows me not to die and it also helps you not die in ways not useful for your souls progress through time and space.

Soul Travel is also a Siddhi and allows a soul to travel both space and time but also into the past, present and future as well. So, for me, this is useful because I have seen physically my soul and my angel self in addition to my physical body and so I know my soul and Angel Body are immortal which changes greatly how I perceive reality. So, death is no longer something fearful to me. I don't like pain or being uncomfortable, but death itself is a lot like going to sleep and dreaming.

Like Shakespeare said, "To Sleep perchance to dream"

Seeing the future, present and past in all locations allows one to better choose the next lifetime one might want to visit and incarnate in if that is the path of your soul. It also allows one to choose the right heaven to go to or "heavens" if one likes to travel from heaven to heaven between lifetimes. (if that is what you do as a soul). 

To a western mind (from places like Europe and the U.S. and Canada and such) seeing things in this way might be alien at first. However, it might be important to consider that all these things are scientific at core and that all of us are much more than we first considered ourselves to be.

Governments might want us to be things to control our minds and bodies so the few control the many through a slavery of the mind and body.

However, ultimately this is a lie.

So, going beyond this lie is often in our best interests. We are all beyond all governments, beyond all constraints except those we impose on ourselves, beyond anything conceptual at all. So, in this sense we are God Beings living on earth as the children of God. And everything else appears to be a lie imposed by those who want to enslave us.

However, once again if we are not kind to ourselves and others no matter what Siddhis we develop, we are soon insane or dead or both.

So, compassion for self and all others is the first step in attaining Siddhis that are useful to oneself and all beings and to God.

Samkhya

In the Samkhyakarika and Tattvasamasa, there are references to the attainment of eight siddhis by which one becomes free of the pain of ignorance, one gains knowledge, and experiences bliss. The eight siddhis hinted at by Kapila in the Tattvasamasa are as explained in verse 51 of the Samkhyakarika:^[11]

1. Uuha: based on the samskaras of previous births, the attainment of knowledge about the twenty-four Tatwas gained by examining the determinable and the indeterminable conscious and the non-conscious constituents of creation.
2. Shabda: knowledge gained by associating with an enlightened person (Guru – upadesh).
3. Addhyyan: knowledge gained through study of the Vedas and other standard ancillary texts.
4. Suhritprapti: knowledge gained from a kind-hearted person, while engaged in the spread of knowledge.
5. Daan: knowledge gained regardless of one’s own needs while attending to the requirements of those engaged in the search of the highest truth.
6. Aadhyaatmik dukkh-haan: freedom from pain, disappointment, etc. that may arise due to lack of spiritual, metaphysical, mystic knowledge and experience.
7. Aadhibhautik dukkh-haan: freedom from pain etc. arising from possessing and being attached to various materialistic gains.
8. Aadhidaivik dukkh-haan: freedom from pain etc. caused by fate or due to reliance on fate.

The attainment of these eight siddhis renders one no longer in a painful state of ignorance but in possession of greater knowledge and experience of bliss. The aim of Samkhya is to eliminate all kinds of physical and mental pains and to receive liberation.
