This is very interesting - as soon as I have 2 minutes I want to google as you suggested. how would you classify Siddhis within a magical tradition?

There has to be atleast. Using the term Buddha in it's ancient sense and context of the Buddhi culture of the period to bring forth a predicted Avatar from the Bhagavatam purana and others, there has to be atleast one at any time. In Tawassuf or Sufi thinking, in this age there is such a chief pole and satalite poles of their time or humanity will come to an end. The fact that a quarter of the globe would call themselves Submiters (to God) in Peace might lead one to believe that atleast one in 1,500 would be enlightened enough to have an intensive awareness of that relationship to life and that which created it. Also, there has to be vast numbers who reached this level without attaching themselves to such terms. I've found people of several religious titles that did a better job of awakening to connecting or otherwise. The idea of Buddhas within all paths becomes confirmed to the Islamic fundlementalist in certain passages in Al Qooraan Soowrah 3 &5, as well as a few others that let it known that whatever remnant they follow, there is enough to be guided to their natural awakening. Ethnocentrism, misassociation, and quick doubt of our ability & worthiness prevent most from becoming a Buddha, YShVAe guide, I think.
