Fulfillment of desire: As an advanced meditator desires something, it will be provided by the so-called unified field and without recourse to ordinary and natural principles.

A wonderful list, at least in terms of showing what we as human beings are secretly wanting. And this does not mean that the super-powers mentioned above are a lie and a “fool’s dream”. In the first place, it only demonstrates our tendency to lose the true magic and the miracles performed in a calm and non-striking way.

Nothing at all can stop you: The powers are in meditation

Because when talking about meditation, one thing is for sure. If you meditate regularly and sincerely, you are guaranteed the following:

1- You will feel love and compassion for complete strangers.

2- Understand what your cat is saying.

3- You will lose any appetite for personal ambitions.

4- You will lose your ability to differentiate between the waking state and dreams.

5- He will pray for the life of a mosquito.

6- Try an orange as if it were the first time.

7- Still argue with your partner – however, it will turn out to be more and more like a game, and not a war.

8- You will always take the first beam of sunlight with a smile on your face.

9- You will see through death.

10- Laugh aloud in the concept of super-powers.

But being a human being, it probably makes you feel frustrated when we talk about supernatural powers of this type. Being a human being, you’re probably making him a little irritated at the moment, ‘But hey, what about all the REAL magical abilities and feats listed at the beginning: flying over mountaintops, reading the mind of other people ? Do you think we are kidding or is it a way of saying that these powers do not exist?

Are the supernatural powers really true?

The short and simple answer to this question would be: “Yes, they are true.” In reality, there are these super naturally naturally amazing powers . Maybe not in all those crazy ways and varieties described in the urban myth and popular culture, but nevertheless, with the practice of meditation you will seriously, in all likelihood, find a way to familiarize yourself with some of those powers.

However, there is a reason why he has dragged on the right and the left before reaching this. As with any other short and simple answer, it hides treacherous traps and could easily be misinterpreted. It is, in other words, a very dangerous response.

To continue with some possibility of solving the enigma of your life, you have to keep this claim: “Yes, super powers exist naturally ” well wrapped in the following. At all times, and it does not matter what happens or does not happen.

1- Entering meditation in search of any supernatural ability is the clearest indication that you are heavily trapped in the webs of your ego.

You are trying to propel yourself, either to obtain direct power over others “I can do things you can not even dream about!” , Or to unravel some of your personal knots “Anxiety, boredom, depression, insomnia, impotence of the mind and the body, whatever. ” And please, be careful: even when you think you want super powers naturally only for the sake of others, and not for your own glory, since this is NEVER the case.

How can your mind, without having yet entered the realm of Eternal True Nature , have even the remotest idea of what might help others? Just no. But being a machine of thought, reasoning and calculation, is very good at slipping in suggestions that go towards the increase of his name and fame.

2 – They are a byproduct , a tool like anything else: you can use them for good or for bad, there is nothing really special, revolutionary or that changes the world in them. Some great saints and masterswho have honored this land have made extensive use of those powers and abilities ; others have walked through them as if they did not exist at all.

If you consider this fact very carefully, then you will realize that there is nothing “essential” about the acquisition or display of these powers super naturally .

What is absolutely inevitable and necessary on the road to awakening, however, is this attitude: “If I seem to go backwards like a crab or fly across the plains of a mystical world, I can still sit humbly and seriously as a solid immobile mountain. “

The sincere and correct practice of meditation will give us the necessary strength to do whatever we want to do, from the simplest thing to exploiting any power, however incredible it may seem.
