When people ask me about what it is like being a Buddha, or they ask me about some of the supernatural things in the sutras, I first have to remind them I am not a Buddha or enlightened, yet. But here is my understanding on this. If we take a look at the reality of cause and effect and if we know the true nature of causes and effects, then it is possible for a person to be able to discern many things in life. Science is based upon the principle of cause and effect, though those words are not used specifically. Because scientists know what will happen when a certain action is made they are able to predict the outcome. Now that may not sound too supernatural to us, but there are many things scientists do that seem like magic to me. Heck, my cell phone is magic, my computer certainly is magic, especially since it is simply a collection of ones and zeros.
