    I honestly believe in it, but, I just wanted to get other peoples opinions or see if they had this power. Does anyone believe/have the power of making things happen with their finger, blowing on a candle wick and having it lite up? Those sort's of things......................

    Kind of like, in the movie Practical Magic.

    And why do you want to do that.


    When people get interested in magick to change their lives and end up wanting to turn their eyes from brown to blue you know something is wrong.

    interesting?

    these powers are called "siddhis" in sanskrit...

    the buddha taught that they tend to distract us from what should be our ultimate goal - moksha (liberation) - freeing ourselves fron the wheel of rebirth...




    ymmv...

    After you free yourself from the wheel of rebirth, what is the meaning of your life then?

    in order to acquire the power you have to lose the desire to have it...so once you have the power you won't want to use it because you understand the universe is the way it is for a reason and changing it wouldn't make sense
