These are the multiple powers that an awakened person can master. They are also called psychic powers, or subtle powers. Some specialists classify them in the field of paranormal, mysticism, magic, delirium and all that follows. For others they come from a scientific discipline unknown in France, parapsychology.
Psi is a term forged in 1882 to define thought communication with the psyche of living beings. It is commonly used in parapsychology.
There are a lot of psi powers or gifts, I will introduce you some. No awakened one has them all, but all will receive others before being defeated by the warrior’s last enemy. For people who are still sleeping, their powers are their senses: we only have five – what misery! Wake up, this is the best thing that can happen to you.
I woke up and I saw that everyone was still asleep. So I went back to sleep.
Only five senses? The Shivaites, which are the archaic branch of Hinduism, think that man has not five senses, but the double. According to them, each sense has a receiving organ and a transmitting organ. Thus the hearing has its receiving organ, the ear; and its transmitting organ, the mouth which emits sound. The smell has its receiving organ, the nose; emitter, the anus that emits odor. I have the names of those who laugh
Shivaites don’t go out of their way. But wait, it’s far from over. The receiver of sight is the eye; the transmitter is the whole body that emits the image of the person. Taste has its receiving organ, mouth; emitter, sex that makes a flavor. Finally the touch has its receiving organ, the skin which is also its emitting organ. That is why, energetically, giving a massage is also receiving one.
So we would have ten senses, or ten powers over the world. We can go up to eleven by adding cénesthésie or kinesthesie – our internal sensations. In the West, at the moment, it is a passive sense that informs us especially about organic dysfunctions: difficult digestion, liver attack, painful periods, cystitis, headaches…
In India, it is passive in most but it can be active in some yogis who manage to control their heart rate, endocrine processes etc. This is called the inner healer. Using his services is the basis of the education of the savages, another proof of the superiority of their culture. Europe once knew the stylites: mystics perched on top of a column fed only by rainwater. In Sri Lanka there are still some.
January 2024 — Nepal police announced that they had arrested a 33-year-old guru believed by his followers to be a reincarnation of Buddha, who was wanted on charges of rape and kidnapping. Ram Bahadur Bomjan, known by the nickname of «little Buddha», gained his notoriety in adolescence, while he had the ability, according to his followers, to meditate for months motionless, without water, food or sleep. He has long been accused of physically and sexually assaulting worshippers. «He was arrested after hiding for several years,» a police spokesman, Kuber Kadayat, told AFP.
True or assumed, these extreme cases have little to do with our practice. What is at stake here is the way to transform an ordinary sense into a magical power. Receiver it is passive. Transmitter it acts on me and on the world. Receiver, I feel my internal organs. Transmitter, I heal them all alone. The Amerindians know perfectly well this power of self-repair which they call the dancer or the internal healer. In fact apart from oxidantThe fault is voluntary, for once! very denatured all true men know the inner healer. But the Single Thought Universal Dictatorship Against Utopia (PUDUCU) watches the grain.
The Inner Healer is not a friend of the pharmaceutical lobby, as we suspect. Developing the powers of the person does not suit merchants. When you sell crutches, you do not like those who learn to walk. Autonomy is the worst enemy of big business. Our senses are not only windows to the outside world, they also allow us to act on the world. This active side of our perceptions transforms meaning into power. And that’s how our five senses can become far more powers.
Twelve senses, then. That’s better than five. But we can go further. So far I have only spoken of ordinary powers, which are the senses of the physical body. But that is counting without our three people. Our second person, the subtle body or energy body also has so precious senses. As for our third person, the inner god, his powers are infinite when he is incarnated. The difficulty is precisely that it is embodied. The moment when the aura enters the physical body after conquering the various subtle bodies, is called awakening. The aura, our personal god, was outside, here it is. It became our inner god. Our incarnate double. Without our inner god who radiates his power of love in our heart, we are nothing, we can do nothing.
As soon as the individual feels, the community is on a slippery floor.
In summary, we have five to twelve senses, which are mostly the powers of our physical body. If we widen the field to subtle powers and auric powers, the list grows disproportionately.
Inner clock no need to wake up or watch to know the time.
Telekinesis which allows to act on objects at a distance.
Hypnosis that acts on the subconscious of a sleeping subject.
Foreknowledge that allows us to anticipate future events.
Dematerialization allows to pass through the walls.
Teleport, transport over long distances;
Invisibility, the first quality of the Invisible Man;
Omniscience, also known as infused science or immediate knowledge;
Third eye, the ability to see the invisible
Third ear, hearing what others don’t.
Ubiquity, possibility of being in two places at the same time; it is also called bilocation.
Synchronicity, a multiplicity of happy coincidences described by Jung
Levitation, the power to lift one’s body off the ground, a talent that can evolve into atmospheric flight;
Sub-aquatic life, a good example of which can be seen at the bottom of Siberian lakes;
Space life, possibility to live in space without equipment.
Attractiveness, irresistible power of seduction;
Antigravity, variant of levitation, this power allows, for example, to walk on water. Jesus used it brilliantly on the Lake of Tiberias – but Pope Francis said it never happened, it was a translation error — the whole Jesus case might be an error;
Suggestivity, or hypnosis without falling asleep: ability to make anyone believe what you want. Brazilian and Filipino healers often use this great power, but not without success;
Vocality, or the ability to get what you want by using certain vocal inflections. In Dune, the Bene-Gesserit used the Voice, which illustrates this power. In Scientology, we work with an imperative tone of command, tone 40, which imposes obedience. Sarkozy learned it but he uses it badly;
Not to mention the minor powers:
Impregnation, ability to diffuse perfume through the pores of the skin, instead of sweat. Frequent in Brazil;
Calculation prodigy, as in the old film Rainman
Absolute ear, widespread in the opera singers but rare in the pop singers
Compass in the eye, accurate view — take care: this compass tends to blind
Indifference to pain, congenital or due to schizophrenia, is a disease — in a mystical context, it’s a power.
Sense of orientation, of which women are totally deprived;
Sense of humor, those who did not laugh at the previous note are totally devoid of it.
Completeness, power that I do not have, because I am unable to complete this list. So many powers are innumerable.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
This was happening in Babel, where proud people wanted to build a high tower to reach the gods. In fact, it would be a rocket! The tower was only a launching pad. To punish this pride, the furious gods destroyed the tower. And the spacecraft! Then they scattered the builders who began to speak in different languages and ceased to understand each other.
One could thus continue a whole inventory at the Prévert, but without his talent, the enumeration would be tedious. Talent, precisely, is still one of our lost powers. Beauty, too. Sveltesse. Extensibility. Luminescence, or the ability to emit lightwaves. Conciseness. Precision.
Some of these qualities result from learning; they result from working on oneself. Others are innate, and all our efforts to acquire them may be in vain. But these powers are ours. They will be returned to us, in one stroke, when we have regained our wings. Those given the awakening. In the meantime, our wings fly without us under skies streaked with lightning.
If you want to regain your powers, these and many others, wake up. Spin the little mills of your chakras, neither too soft nor too strong. As in the French song: “Miller, you sleep, and your mill and your mill goes too fast, miller, you sleep, and your mill and your mill goes too hard…”
…a song that becomes quite the opposite of a lullaby: on a trance rhythm, a good song of awakening. Sing it in fa dièse.
The need raises new organs of perception. Man, increase your need to increase your perception.
