Miracles and psychic ability

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I agree that it takes an incredible amount of restraint. Then again, I don't think that many people who'd stick around here that long are the types who thrive on good feelings despite reality. I only encourage that, if there is reality to it, it would be something not worth ignoring regardless of the popular stigma.

I'm fairly certain that I don't have it in me. While I may have some strangely spiritual-geared structures in how I feel and sense myself or certain aspects of life (which could be a big esoteric nothing - don't care, it is what it is) I still realize that my logical gearing is far too worldly and whatever angle or algorhythm that I'd have to punch out into in order to gain such abilities isn't something that I'm built toward. Its kind of like I wouldn't be much cut out for the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc.. While people who are at least convincingly psychic claim that everyone has it in them - I think its a case of 'If I can do it anyone can' - I've had plenty of natural jock friends that I'm used to seeing that with.

I guess everyone has it in them to play guitar if he/she really practiced at it. However some people are just more musically inclined. I for one would never be able to play football, but that isn't to say that if I really wanted to I wouldn't be able to actually play one day.

I have had psi experiences which I know occurred but only a few people would actually be able to testify to it. Oftentimes I'll think of someone out of the blue and then I get a call from them or I'll dream about things which offers insight into situations that I wouldn't be able to get under ordinary conscious thinking. I think we need to practice and not give up just because we'll make mistakes. I don't think it's like on tv (nothing ever is) where people have this superpower ability. I think it's a natural ability that can be refined with lots of practice and patience.

Its a matter of degrees though. If your thinking most people can enhance their intuition a little, sure, just like someone can learn how to strum a few chords. I just think that the idea that anyone can be a full blown psychic is along the lines of anyone could be Joe Satriani. I played guitar for eight years, loved it, even learned to solo and finger tap if a bit clumsily, but I learned I had a definite cap on my performance based on what my nervous system was able to output. To the degree and amounts that psi phenomena or talent seem to exist, just like almost everything else seems to fall into the rubric of genetic/neurological potential, its very difficult to think that much of anything escapes it.
