I've heard those who seem to have a keener sense of the psychic referred to as gifted, wise or existing here while also touching upon a higher plane of what is. I suppose I’m in sync with the thinking that when one is able to better harness the ability to access and sense these things, this sense can represent itself as a gift especially to those on the outside of the perception. One does wonder about that label however; “gifted”?

Perhaps, but all too often those I have spoken with who also share of their own experiences with this state of extra-perception, relate that they feel that everyone indeed does have the ability to access this inclusive if yet global state of sensory relations. One simply need look for the key to the door that leads to the pathway, which is how I find the most agreeable way of putting it. Unquestionably I'm an obvious believer in this line of thought. I've always had difficulty with the paradigm of the few and the rest, and thus far find that most who do share of their own "gifts", would like nothing more than to help others discover and reach out with their own innate abilities.

Think of ones ability to hear. Being raised in an astute musical family, we all knew how to read, play and appreciate. We heard of the one’s who could pick out specific instruments amongst a symphony of voices, with most people seeming rather indifferent to the idea, I never was so. In truth I always found it little to no problem reducing the voices to the piccolo, the second violin or the French horn and when my thinking is in concert with those who speak of the universality of the trained sense of the psychic self, I usually recall the musical training of my youth, and my life. In this I carry the conviction that everyone can learn to tune their psychic senses and attribute the results of this over time to this universality of being.

One person I had a chat with recently was of the thinking, and I certainly fall in line with it, is that each and every person is endowed with definite gifts and certainly has their choices between gifts, talents and universal abilities, which are for the most part all one in the same to the greatest degree, leaving aside the savant ability that certainly is in the most simplest of terms, “apart from the rest”. What a person does with their choices determines how far they build into themselves.

I laughingly recall the "neurosurgeon joke", where in a roomful of seminar attendee’s listening to one fine neurosurgeon presenter pose questions to the rather young audience looking into a medical career. At one point a young man, obviously frustrated at what he was hearing rose from his seat and says, "just because I want to be a neurosurgeon, doesn't mean I have the ability to be one!"

The neurosurgeon stood fast at his podium with a sure look of confidence on his face and exclaimed to the young doubter, " HAVE YOU TRIED?"

So far, at least in my own humble experience in life, most of the things I've either discovered or rediscovered about myself, fall into the category of those attributes I was either aware of in myself, or those I blindly looked away from only to later turn around and see them right there where they always were, staring back at me from their foundations. It's amazing the things people can do with their abilities once they decide to acknowledge them, build on them and then make use of them. Surely there are the persons who make discoveries of themselves and their abilities more through those times of stress, accident or trial of spirit, all that test the boundaries of ones previously conceived limits and abilities, only then to open up completely new avenues never ventured down before. In these times it seems are the manifest causes of change and the shifting of the soulfully spiritual self to new and much more aware aspects of ones perceptive being.

The question then is, do you believe you have as a part of yourself, certain extra-sensory aware perceptive abilities? Can you apply the term psychic-self to these abilities? If so, you wouldn’t be alone. Many around you believe the same way, and in the act of the moment of self-creation, it might very well hold that these senses are as real and as true as the ear that hears that violin or that French horn in that symphony playing along with the rest of the world if not the universe.

As Always,
