I look at so called spiritually advanced beings doing so called supernatural feats as just another way of leading the unwary down the garden path. What good
does it do to walk on water or change water into wine if I am still left in ignorance and are no closer to knowing myself. To find a teacher who can show me how to enter my inner world and find enlightenment is the true gift.
