Are powers once achieved permanent in nature?Not permanent in a true sense, because logically anything that can be gained can be lost.Why and how does these powers work?
The powers may not get carried on to the next life or next birth. There is no power enabiling one to live forever. Life span (the continiuty of the mind) can be prolonged for along time, even after physical death, mind can continue in the subtler bodies. Ultimately the mind becomes dormant(dies) and is born again with no memory of the previous life. Incidentally there is an ability that can be obtained that allows one to remember his or her previous lives.But "powers" resulting from spiritual development is permanent. Those powers are carried on to the susequent birth. Sufficiently advanced person can die conciously, in other words he can carryforward his knowledge and memory to his next birth. Some people remember their past birth because they had a violent or a traumatic death experience. In such cases the past memories will be a hinderance to proper development of mind in the present birth. The shock he or she experienced in the last moments of the previous life will continue to be there.
Just like the achievements in a dream proves to be unreal on waking up, the supernatural powers obtained will become insignificant on reaching the Ultimate Truth.
All matter, if broken down to its most basic constituent particle/wave will come down to a form of energy which is the same energy thought waves in the deeper layers of the mind is made of.Mind over matter?
Quantum physicists are finding out that the mind of the experimentor can directly influence the behaviour of a photon particle. (Narrow slit experiment)The Univese is one continuous streach of conciousness, your conciousness.
Matter is a projection of the inner mind. It is a play between the inner mind that creates the universe and the sensory perception that percieves this world in the concious level. The nature of the created world and the experience of it is determined by one's prarabdha.
Supernatural powers are nothing but the ability to coax the inner mind to project what the concious mind wants to experience.
