Spiritual powers are a double-edged sword

The saints and yogis, by immense efforts and sacrifices, acquire many miraculous powers and can do much good in the way of helping people and inspiring faith, yet it does not make them perfect. It is not a way to reality, but merely an enrichment of the false. All effort leads to more effort; whatever was built up must be maintained, whatever was acquired must be protected against decay or loss. Whatever can be lost is not really one’s own; and what is not your own of what use can it be to you?

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Spiritual powers are a double-edged sword.

On the one hand we often have need for self expression.

After all, we came here on the blue planet for a good reason.

Sharing God’s gifts is an amazing honor and joy!

But then, when we start identifying with these powers,

we cut ourselves off the higher dimension.

There was a time when I needed to be an author, a coach, 

or needed to have these spiritual experiences to share with others.

Today I am ordinary—that’s when I am connected with what’s beyond.
