These resonates very much what some other religions teach.
This is all explained in the Visuddhimagga which is a text given second in importance by Buddhist. The first, is the Tipitaka canon of scriptures.

The Siddhis bridges Buddhism with the other mystical religions. The ultimate of meditation is Siddhis which is a natural process as the person pursues their way thru meditation. In nature, Siddhis occurs without us noticing it unless we look for it. For example, the caterpillar 'progresses' via Siddhis to emerge as a butterfly.
Because Siddhis is not talked about much, some do not except nor understand what is 'happening' to them. For example, if a person finds them self Bi-located to a distant land and they relate their experience to a person who has never experience Bi-location, you can just imagine what the other person would give them as advice.
