An interesting and entertaining (but also somewhat sad) video featuring Zen Buddhist teacher Brad Warner. He responds to a New Age fanatic who perhaps believes that her child is Indigo, et cetera. The fluff bunny rhetoric is off the charts!
The short form: paranormal powers, while real, are a distraction from enlightenment and the *real* miracle: the existence of the universe itself. They come and go, never appear when we need them, and may even take us to a dark place without Truth.
Brad retells two funny anecdotes about Buddhist masters. One of them is about a man who after 20 years of spiritual preparation could walk on water. The master tells him that he (the master) can simply pay a ferryman to get across the river! LOL.
Could be seen as a tie-in to my recent post about telepathy, et cetera.
