I say it was fake. It's way too simple to put together something like this. Especially with the low resolution, and just the manner of his flight. He could of at least gone in a superman pose haha. Fake or not, honestly, I don't think it matters. Siddhi's of this nature would MORE THAN just get in the way of most people's enlightenment.
It wouldn't be "I want to cultivate unconditional love" anymore... it'd be more along the lines of "I wanna fly" or "read minds" or whatever.
I know Siddhi's have *almost* a built in safety... where moving in stillness must be cultivated first, but that's exactly the problem. These things would be getting in the way of moving in stillness.
I've had my own encounters with certain Siddhi's before. I wish I didn't. Opening up ones subconscious mind too early is not fun. There's no off switch. There's a really good reason why people that actually have siddhi's keep quiet about it. Which is why, again... I believe this video is fake.
Ajna, I have to strongly disagree with you, the ramifications are far from excellent. If I could fly, I wouldn't show it off. I wouldn't even do it, there's no use. Why fly when you can walk and smell the roses along the way? haha . Trust me, if you're after Siddhis, and end up tearing away the layer between you and your subconscious mind too early, it is not cool, it's not helpful to your enlightenment unless you have a very strong unswayable untemptable mind. This I know from experience... I wasn't even after Siddhis. And those who laugh and go "oh, my mind is strong, I could handle it"... imagine the devil tempting you with your own mind, with temptations built exactly according to worldly desires that still reside within you. It's not light stuff.
