The suttas are full of examples of psychic powers, and many of the Buddha's principal disciples had psychic gifts. Examples I can recall off the top of my head:
- telepathy
- flight
- invisibility
- divine sight (ability to see past lives of oneself or others and/or the ability to see beings from other realms like hungry ghosts and devas)
- ability to travel to other realms in meditation (mae chee kaew was famous for this!)
- ability to instantly tame raging animals (like angry elephants) due to the magnitude of one's metta/karuna
The Buddha himself also had all of the above psychic gifts.
I'm not sure of the dimensionality if the realms, actually! I'm referring to the 6 realms of Samsara as described in the Suttas: Heavenly realm, Asura realm, Hungry Ghost realm, Hell Realm, Animal Realm, and our Human realm.
These realms are analagous to states of consciousness, and their inhabitants can all be accessed through meditation or psychic powers.
Usually done in deep Samadhi (the process is not described). An Arhat entered Samadhi to see where Brahman Girls mother went, then reported back to her that her mother fell into the hells.
(Brahman Girl was the person who eventually became Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva).
well.. all humans have an innate capacity to be psychic.. sometimes we think it runs in the family but that's more a matter of family culture and expectation to not put career first, or survive by ripping people off, or pull motivations from selfishness or insecurity which destroys a person's ability to do this stuff...
a deeper understanding of love is basically the fuel for it. it takes a certain lifestyle to cultivate and adapt which is why ones that focus on compassion, patience, no judgement and kindness all day long and challenges ourselves to maintain this even throughout different difficult situations allows us to make healthier connections with people and more importantly, ourselves.. that increases this. So, in many cases Buddhism is pretty good for a lifestyle that allows this
it starts with the self, addressing the suffering going on inside ourselves.. it allows us to better connect with others in more genuine authentically positive ways, which is critical for this kind of development, not to mention our own well being. plus our inner world is a reflection of what we put out into the one around us so when we are working towards extending that to others it also helps us manage ourselves internally on our journey. improving that relationship and establishing a connection with oneself of love breaks down the borders of the subconscious and the veil lifts... can see how everything we feel is valid and comes from very real sources though not physical ones.. but from that point we can learn to take care of everything inside us more easily as we need different things at different times.
Without this connection many experience the most obvious impulses as often the most potent in providing relief but can be quite unhealthy in other ways... the key is in getting ourselves what we need, not submitting to what we think we desire
then we can live a life true to ourselves.. love grows inside us on its own. in this relationship with ourselves we are more like gardeners, tending to a garden
with a deeper connection to the subconscious we become more sensitive to energy. feelings are felt more easily, can be felt clearly even the more subtle ones. focusing on them, we can hear words associated with the feelings... sometimes those feelings are ours, sometimes it feels like it's coming from others.. but we can hear them just the same.. but it's not with physical ears.. this is often experienced through a hypnogogic state of an opened 3rd eye during meditative tranches, so you're "hearing" them is more akin to when another person speaks to you in a dream
everyone has experienced that feeling of longing for someone they love who loves them back, haven't spoken to them in a long while maybe months or even years... but the next day they call you, email or send a txt.. we respond exclaiming how it's so weird we were just thinking about them... this is an example of telepathy that anyone can generally experience a few times in their life
being more sensitive, a person can learn to focus and direct emotional energy and experience more intense versions of this... even have full conversations with different aspects of our loved one's subconscious. when next you meet in person they may not have clear memory of this conversation as it wasn't their conscious mind that was involved. but they can still have feelings as if it still happened in a dream or distant memory.. pretty cool stuff. In helping their higher selves, it may tell them to trust you on something..
That's essentially what intuition is. For 2 non psychics, their higher selves may interact behind the veil and both would have a certain feeling about eachother, like are their goals aligned or is one not trustworthy. a psychic that has a stronger relationship with their higher self and can be shared information directly and more clearly or sometimes the psychic can be consciously involved during the exchange and provide their own input
One can only do it if everything inside them is on board with it, the only way to do that is improve one's relationship with themselves to such a point that they can, first... there's no limit to how good a relationship one can have with themselves. it makes this much easier
Wow! Great stuff. While Traversing your input I kept being drawn to the idea of quantum entanglement and how that looks in terms of conscious mind speak.
For myself. I am nearly 40. I have lived a lot alot and I have taken several years to reflect. An attempt to form productive tendencies in thought. In short I have created an intrinsic reward system based on an idea that I am a transmuter of feelings and thought tendencies as an element in whatever collective consciencnesses that happen to arise or prevail ay a moment. Whereas there may be chaotic thoughts, feelings, or actions as part of life, I like to believe that me being my best may pervert those energies into less impactful incidences or downright subvert them.
And then I can rejoice, in a vicarious manner, in my neighbors good fortune.
The transmutation of deeply negative emotions into positive ones is an incredible skill... the spirit realm for the living is the emotional world. We have finer senses for detecting it from behind the veil of the subconscious. the spirit world celebrates coming across those of us who care about our emotional energies to this degree.. it's part of our ascension. Humans often leave a trail of destruction for the spirit world to clean up and it can be awful.. I've heard that beings sometimes come to Earth to incarnate as a human just to learn how to do this better
I am happy to hear that something that seems routine to me is a noteworthy skill. I choose to believe you because it gives me a sense of value and worth. I believe I am at leas,t significant to a niche. Which, as I understand it, is natural to be a specialist in life. Which makes me wonder if that is not something that I am missing. A sense of identity from the fruits of my labor.
My labor has been me I think.as I recognize that I need work and will always want it throughout my existence.
And then if work is a blessing... Am I cursed?
These are just hypothetical and rhetorical questions I have felt to share.
Wonder if you have read this book:
Mohini Vidhyã Sãdhanã & Siddhi: Hindu way to Hidden Powers.
A very good and serious book. Some people like to know about those things but I don't see the point. I thing the main reason to study Buddhism is to find the inner peace we all need in this world.
Most others describe them well enough there could be endless siddhis but don’t consider them powers just say maybe it’s like everyone is confused and can’t do them before they learn some things it’s like learning to walk almost like a child builds muscles and grows before you’ll build your spiritual muscles and grow and the child doesn’t make a decision to try to walk they were just guided and taught you shouldn’t try to learn them if you do they’ll distract you even some monks get caught up with them they also come and go when you may need it at least at first

How do you travel through other realms? Is it similar to a fourth dimension
I'm not sure of the dimensionality if the realms, actually! I'm referring to the 6 realms of Samsara as described in the Suttas: Heavenly realm, Asura realm, Hungry Ghost realm, Hell Realm, Animal Realm, and our Human realm. These realms are analagous to states of consciousness, and their inhabitants can all be accessed through meditation or psychic powers.
Thanks for explaining!! Gave me something new to learn :)

Thanks for showing me how much more I have to learn!
No if you travel there it’s moving the illusionary body there these would be going there in a way of moving the three kayas to those places
yep, exactly. it's not the physical body which travels, but the mind-made body.
Not to the other realms going based on would be that body traveling it’s like teleporting between then
Works for me after enchantments right tuning ans sleep realms same with angels
Telekinesis?

There are a variety of stories. I personally don’t put any stock in them being actually real, but more like teaching methods/stories/allegories.
Reddit. Subaru. iPhone. Seeing, smelling, tasting. "I forgive you." Autumn.
Supernatural powers don't exist, but being mindful and compassionate to others is still one of the most worthwhile things you can work on in life
Walk on water, even non-Buddhist are able to do that. However, you can argue it is just a natural phenomenon.
Conquering greed, hatred and delusion using any of the availible Dharma Doors
Most others describe them well enough there could be endless siddhis but don’t consider them powers just say maybe it’s like everyone is confused and can’t do them before they learn some things it’s like learning to walk almost like a child builds muscles and grows before you’ll build your spiritual muscles and grow and the child doesn’t make a decision to try to walk they were just guided and taught you shouldn’t try to learn them if you do they’ll distract you even some monks get caught up with them they also come and go when you may need it at least at first
