Luis,

I’m very happy that you have found an unconditioned state of bliss! The specifics would not be appropriate to discuss for many reasons, but perhaps what you are experiencing is the first jhana.

Buddha said that aspects of the supramundane are not appropriate to perform in public, and is known to admonish his students for performing miracles. He specifically said that he was ashamed of all powers except one, the power to teach. The others increase suffering, as those who witness siddhis are pushed into a deeper dualism of fascination. Said differently, when you use your empathy to prove its accuracy, your mind is pushed into a “look what I can do” and their’s “look what he can do” which are both distractions from the path.

Consider looking into a local sangha for a teacher, who may help you figure out what to do next.

With warmth,
Matt
