So, you desire to develop abilities that exceed what you consider to be 'ordinary' or 'normal' human powers. This article invites you to examine your underlying motivation. That is, what do you seek to gain? And, what do you regard as being 'normal?'
The ego urges you to seek the extraordinary based on its own agenda. The heart knows the truth of what is possible is completely ordinary and always accessible to he who is ready to allow his potential to be revealed. What you see and experience is directly related to what you allow or resist within. The innate power revealed is directly proportional to one's humility. Consider this opportunity to trigger some key revelations:
1)It is not about developing power but about removing barriers to what is: Light exists that you do not see with human vision. Sound exists at frequencies that you do not yet hear. Any or all of your senses can be allowed to expand. How you think and feel distorts your view of reality if you let it. It is also possible to grow aware of how the ego controls you and move beyond that to see what it cannot comprehend.
2) Notice the real reason for pursuit: For some people, the pursuit of happiness takes many forms. Maybe you read about extraordinary powers, and this appeals to the ego. Maybe something you read planted a seed. Maybe a situation nurtured hope to perform beyond expectations or perceived limitations. Follow the thread to better understand yourself and deep fears. How you want to grow in a particular way determines whether you experience it and if so, for how long.
3) Who can do what you hope to do? If you have seen or heard about humans levitating, projecting a second physical energy body identical to the one they already have or, individuals defying other assumed laws of physics, you may wish to learn more. What do you read about such persons? Are they martial artists, government operatives, shamans, spiritual gurus or without labels and roles in society? Each state of mind or state of being reveals degrees of dedicated commitment. As one grasps universal laws, the bigger picture and what is unfolding grows clearly apparent.
4) How do your heart and mind factor in? The ego-mind is where fear resides and heart embodies love. Notice whether the intention to attain something arises in the heart or is created as a thought with a purpose in mind. You activate a chain reaction of inner influence at cell level. Every cell in your physical body functions based on energy vibration. Whether you believe in something or know in your heart something is true influences what transpires in your reality. Inaudible sound and invisible light affect how you think and behave now. Everything is revealed with perfect timing.
In essence then, superhuman powers are not to be attained, but rather, something innate that reveals itself when a person is no longer controlled by the ego. This is part of awakening to the truth of who you are. Until then, the universe only seems to hide what you want. In truth, you only ever hide true potential from yourself until you can handle it. All is revealed as you willingly love and appreciate everything equally and have no desire to control. Unlimited being shows you the rest in its own ways.
"The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness." -Paramahansa Yogananda
