Could purity of heart and mind be the key to the next step in human development? What does purity mean and is there any power in it?

That's part of it
The other parts of it is compassion, and being willing to follow God's will instead of your own

From what I've seen, it's quite the opposite. God doesn't want you to have supernatural powers because then you might think you are getting closer to becomming his equal. That is after all why Lucifer was sent to hell.
So, the answer is definately not with god.
The development of superhuman abilities would lie within the development of the self.
I myself am still working on shapeshifting. A very hard task, but with limitless possibilities

Endeavouring to create a pure heart and mind in order to gain supernatural abilities is often used by cults as a way to draw people into it's belief system.
I don't believe there is anything to it whatsoever. Simple meditation that requires no belief system or hallucinations, can be used to generate inner peace in difficult times. However, I don't believe it can lead to superpowers, except perhaps superpowers of concentration.

Yes, but in order to purify one's heart one needs to find a pure process. Believe me, there is a pure process available for those who have a sincere desire.

Yes. Ever since I found Jesus, I noticed a great increase in my spidey powers.

No one has superhuman abilities. If you figure it out, great. Be sure to let us know.

Yep. I can fly because I gave a homeless guy a quarter.
