There are also yogis who claim they can levitate, read minds, or bring dead babies back to life.

You don't need to be a yogi to do those things. There are men and women (even kids and teenagers) who can read your mind like a page. Advanced ones can know what you're thinking before you're even aware of what that thought is. And they don't even have to be looking at you. It's 360 degree vision. Distance is no barrier. People who can read minds know to respect your space, because they know it's against spiritual law to violate your psychic space.

People who have developed the ability to bring the dead back to life will not do it, because they know there's a reason why somebody had to die. Why mess with the cycle of life?

Well yes, you see i can time travel, but I don't want to break causality. So I won't use my power. But you said worship me and give me money, because I time travel!

That must be terribly reassuring to the families of car crash victims.

You can make all the extraordinary claims you want if you never have to prove it, and no one should believe you until you do. You're basically just wasting your breath and letting everyone know you believe in fairy tales.

But maybe there's a reason why an automobile accident happened in the first space. Live is not just made up of a series of random events.

You can make all the claims you want. Everything is being made as it goes along, and if someone claims to have these powers and doesn't use them, they are either lying, deluded, or terribly cruel. It's awfully convenient, and really a sick joke, if the moment one has real agency, they can't use it.

Imagine actually believing this.
