8 basic mystical perfections:
In Sanskrit, mystical perfections, sensory abilities are called siddhis. There are 8 main mystical abilities, and several dozen secondary ones.
1) Anima-siddhi is the ability to become smaller than the smallest, the ability to become small. This quality is called scaling, that is, a person can change their scale using a certain process. A person can become small, smaller than the smallest, even shrink to the size of an atom. Every person once possessed these abilities. This is why we have such a feeling, you probably noticed it in childhood: "Oh, if I could become small, I would crawl through." If a person did not have these abilities in the past, or they were not inherent in him, then he would not even be able to think: "I would become small and pass." The impulse that allows us to think that we can become small is nothing more than our subconscious experience... in the form of the subconscious, this memory bursts out, but the body is already different.
2) Laghima-siddhi means becoming lighter than a feather or lighter than air, the ability to levitate, antigravity, that is, to rise, fly, walk on water. Christ walked on water - this is a manifestation of laghima-siddhi, that is, the ability to change the gravitational fields of the body.
3) Prapti-siddhi is the ability of a person to get anything from anywhere. Imagine: once - and a person has some object in his hand. He gets it through certain ethereal channels. In another place, the object disappears and appears in his hand. But if you don't know what it is, you will think that he created this object. He does not create it, but gets it - this is prapti-siddhi.
4) Mahima-siddhi is the ability to become heavier than the heaviest. The last mention of such an ability: there was such a Gaichitahei, one of the masters of martial arts. As far as I remember, he died in 1985. He publicly demonstrated his abilities on television. His weight was 52 kilograms, but he could, standing directly on the scales, increase his weight to three hundred kilograms and reduce his weight to 15. When he became 300 kilograms, people could not move him. He was barely lifted, but his body did not change. This is a manifestation of mahima-siddhi.
5) Ishitva-siddhi is the ability to create or destroy something at will. This is when you can create objects and translate them into a destroyed state - that is, you do not need to touch anything, just think about it. This happens with the help of certain internal sound vibrations. You repeat certain mantras to yourself and translate your body into a special vibrational field. Certain vibrations are associated with sound. Sound is both subtle and coarse. Perhaps you know that if you tap on a faceted glass and find the corresponding note, and then reproduce it, saying: "Ga!" - the glass breaks into small pieces. Even now, people who do not possess special abilities know that they can affect any object through sound vibration, and it can be destroyed.
6) Vashita-siddhi is the ability to control all material elements and subordinate other people to their will. Now, such sensory abilities are to some extent demonstrated by extrasensories, hypnotists. The range of these abilities is related to the karma of a living being. Therefore, we see: someone flies half a meter, at best, someone runs on water... materializes objects. All this is considered extinct abilities, now almost no one has them. Therefore, Christ says in the Bible: "What should I talk to you about, when you can't even grow an inch?"
7) Prakamya-siddhi is the ability to fulfill any material desires of other living beings. As, for example, in fairy tales, a genie or a goldfish appears and says: "Let's have three wishes, I will fulfill them." A person makes a wish - and they are fulfilled.
8) Kama-vasayita-siddhi is the ability to take any form at will, that is, a person can transform and not only into living beings, he can even transform into material objects.
