I was inspired by Vinayaka´s thread and he gave his blessing to start a new one.
Do you believe in them?
If you do, do you think it is good to try to develop them?
If someone has them, should they use them? Or would they be too hard to control?

Sorry, Maya. I do not believe in them. Therefore, no use trying, waste of time, attempts cause psychological problems. Nobody has them, they only have sleight of hands, tricks. The question of controlling them does not arise.Do you believe in them? If you do, do you think it is good to try to develop them? If someone has them, should they use them?

While there are many things in life we can not explain, I tend to be skeptical when it is claimed that some people have a special/specific power or ability of sorts.

As I posted in Vinayaka's thread my wife sees auras and has since childhood. This comes naturally to her, and see takes it for granted. She also has experienced other supernal episodes such as past life awareness and communicating with other souls in what she calls 'the Vortex'. These experiences are in no way frightening or threatening, they are completely natural. But, like you hinted, what does she do with them? By any means it keeps life interesting.
Just for reference, we will have been together for forty years next month ( and, yes, she's a little psychic so I have to be careful what I think.)
EDIT: I can understand criticism and skepticism of Siddhi in non-Hindu DIRs ... but in the Hindu DIR ?

From the lexicon of Dancing with Siva:
"Power, accomplishment. perfection. - Extraordinary powers of the soul, developed through consistent meditation and deliberate, gruelling ofter uncomfortable tapas, or awakened naturally through spiritual maturity and yogic sadhana.
Thee is more, but that's the gist. There is also quite a bit about it being an obstacle to self-realisation, because it focuses on I-ness.
Of course definitions may vary.
