Psychic Development

"Psychic and intuitive abilities should not be regarded as the gift of the few, they are the birthright of everyone on Earth. These abilities are latent within us all and intuition and psychic development can occur through spiritual practices." Dr. George King

We are all born intuitive but people, usually well meaning, begin projecting on us and teaching us from the day we are born. Usually by the time we are 5 or 6  our parents, teachers, siblings, Aunts, Uncles, churches and governments have managed to convince us that we did not see what we said we saw, our imaginary friends aren't real, there are no monsters under our beds and our gifts are completely turned off.
There was a time when all races and cultures had "dreamers" very gifted individuals whose role it was to provide healing and safety for their communities and tribes. They would have been responsible for ensuring food sources were found, keeping individuals and communities healthy, and alerting elders or leaders of danger. They would also have made sure that the Spirits were invoked, honored and included at weddings, births, funerals and Seasonal festivities. Psychic and Intuitives were valued by society and very gifted children were not laughed at or admonished, but trained.

Communism and Christianity, ironically were the biggest threat to intuition. The Church wanted total faith in the Church and Communism wanted total faith in the State and intuitive people who were open about their capabilities would be killed or tortured or both. People with faith and strong spiritual connections are not easy to control. Jesus told his disciples, " and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Certainly he knew what his followers would be up against and so urged his followers to develop a discerning heart so as not to be led astray by those who would use religion to gain power. A discerning heart is simply developing the ability to trust your intuition.

There are reasons why psychics and intuitive are not always well respected and sometimes feared in modern society. The first two we have already mentioned, abilities were a threat. Another reason is that people have either been false psychics or used their gifts to extort money from others or cause harm. Psychic abilities are neither good nor bad in themselves, it is how they are used that makes them good or bad. Sr George King of the Aetherius Society states, " If, for example, you use psychic ability to look at the aura of a patient before giving them spiritual healing, and you see clearly exactly what part of the aura needs special attention, and you then tune in to the exact magnetic energy required to heal that person, this is obviously a good thing to do. If, however, you use psychic ability to satisfy greed or bring harm to someone else, this is obviously a misuse. It is as simple as that." The purpose of psychic gifts are not to make money giving psychic readings ( although that may happen) but to discern information that is usefull to help heal individuals and communities.

Because we feel strongly that everyone can develop thier intuition and psychic abilities and that these abilities can and should be ethically used to facilitate healing, Katie Manning- Hilton, Michele Lyons and I, Barbara Neznek are offering a class on Psychic development. We will share with you how to protect yourself while you are working, different ways to make strong connections with Helping Compassionate Spirits and how to tell healing stories.
