What is your siddhi?

Siddhi means accomplishment.

First, a bit of background: Please tell us what your TM practise consisted of - just TM 2x20 or more than that? how long did you do TM? did you use "advanced" techniques? supplements? TMSP? Please tell us what details you are comfortable discussing. Then: On this basis, can you tell us what have you accomplished as a result of your TM practise.

Were your TM accomplishments positive for you? negative for you? positive for others? negative for others?

How so?

Were you able to observe any kind of directly-TM-related accomplishment(s) in others also doing some aspect of Mahesh's TM program? If you are looking back to former times, what do you think of these accomplishment(s) now? Is it possible they were "real" or something else? (What?)

As William has suggested: what do you think Mahesh/the TM organization has accomplished? in what terms do you think these accomplishment(s) can best be quantified or categorized?

Perhaps you have since TM practised something else. If you want, can you tell us something about what you feel is your accomplishment outside the boundaries of TM?

What is liberation? What is enlightenment?

… what is liberation to you? What is enlightenment to you? Is there a difference? How will you know when you have become "liberated" or "enlightened?" What will signify to you that you've "made it?"

Do you have views of these that are not confined to what the TMO promotes? Are there "necessary" steps for them? If there are, whose steps do you follow and why?

Do you think MMY was enlightened or liberated? If yes, what makes you think so? Who do you see as an "authority" on enlightenment/ liberation? MMY? Anyone else?

Are siddhis an element or characteristic of one who is enlightened/liberated? Can one be enlightened/liberated and not manifest siddhis.

What is liberation TO YOU? What do YOU think it’s all about? Can you tells us what your grounds for thinking this are all about? Can you tell us about any “liberation” experiences you might have had or actually have right now? Can you tell us how this fits with your daily life and the lives of others (not precisely the same thing)? How does your experience of liberation or enlightenment fit with what the TMO taught, what Mahesh taught, what Guru Dev taught (if you have read Paul’s books)?

Curious minds want to know, so let’s hear it. – Thanks, kapop for sharing your great idea.
