@herghly Extra sensory stuff. Almost as if seeing into another world that is superimposed on the normal one. Auras, souls etc. But hey, as Ramana said, the greatest Siddhi is self-realization. I agree with that now.

@FoxFoxFox what happened before you had these experiences? 

 

What forms of meditation have you been practicing and for how long?

I assume you’ve still been doing spiritual practices. 

 

What practices do you do?

@herghly

Well, the answer to that question is both yes and no. But anyways for the sake of simplicity: Kundalini yoga.

I gotta say, if you pursue spirituality for the sake of Siddhis, you are not going to get them.

Yes, all the great traditations say that 

 

at the same time it’s still something that can occur while on the path. I’m only asking

@herghly Everything is a siddhi if you think about long enough.

Anyways i say that because it's very important to be honest about why you pursue enlightenment. Many people here actually don't want the truth, they want something else masked as the truth. For example they might want fame or money and think if they somehow get enlightened they are gonna get those things. Well there is almost always a better, faster way to get material stuff than enlightenment. I guarantee you. 

Yet still there are people who are deeply unsatisfied with their lives and use enlightenment as a sort of escapism. This one could actually work if the dissatisfaction translates to genuine desire, but I'm not sure what the chances of it working that way are.

I could see auras very clearly for a few days after reading the Bhagavad Gita... I looked up from reading it whilst sitting on a swing and boom, out of nowhere, everyone around me (about 40 people) had an outline around them. Even dogs. Babies and young children seemed to have the biggest outlines. It gradually went away after a while, but I knew how important it was not to cling to these things if it was really Truth that I sought, so it didn't bother me so much.
