There are two ways of living in this world - at-one with the Infinite or separate from the Infinite. When you experience yourself at-one with the Infinite, it is said that you are God-Realized being; when you experience yourself separate from the infinite, it is said that you are still in mortal consciousness.

The entire difference is in what do you choose to identify yourself with. If you identify yourself with your physical body, you are in mortal consciousness and as long as you are in mortal consciousness, whatever you can accomplish will be in some way limited. Since the vast majority of people on this planet are in "mortal consciousness", they consider as "natural" only that which their mortal (physical) senses can behold.

If you identify yourself with Infinite Spirit, then you are in spiritual consciousness, merged with the Ocean of Infinite Love, Power and Wisdom, with the infinite ocean of energy. When you are in that state of consciousness, supernatural abilities appear spontaneously and without asking for them. They are merely a natural expression of the Infinite.

There are also many people - spiritual seekers - who go around "seeking" this state of consciousness. It is not something you "seek", but rather something you accept and then live it, because it is already what you are. Seeking it is pretty much like a fish in water, swimming madly around trying to figure out where is water.

While this Spirit is not limited to the air- it is in the air and in absolutely every spark of creation - the closest element I could use to describe it is air. You don't go around looking for air to breathe - you just breathe it. And together with the air, you breathe in the spirit, the life-force.

There are some people who embark upon the spiritual path and then they hear from someone that it doesn't matter whether they do any spiritual practice or they don't because they are already It. But there is a big difference between being It and truly knowing that you are It, experiencing yourself as It. This would compare to having all the treasure of the world, yet not having a clue how to access it, how to use it and how to do with it, and most importantly how to live in harmony with It, how to express It. If they struggle to make a living, if they are unhappy, if they are not feeling truly fulfilled, then they have not yet gotten acquainted with It. They may know Spirit as an idea, but not as a real, living experience. When you truly KNOW IT, then you LIVE IT.

In order to get anywhere with your development of supernatural powers, you have to leave the world of physical dimension - in your consciousness - and to begin looking at a world from the perspective of energy, consciousness and spirit.

The entire practice is summed up beautifully in "Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East":

"Stop for a moment and just think of the allness of God or Primal Cause with no beginning or end, with universal scope, and surround yourself in this. As you become faithful and worship this, and this alone, ONE GOD, ONE ALMIGHTY PRESENCE - you will find that the vibrations of your body will change from the human to the God or Primal vibration. As you think, live, move and become one with this vibration, you do worship; and what you worship, you idealize, you become."
