Post No. 3,569 - Inappropriate reactions/attractions

I recently touted “The Ethical Psychic” by Jennifer Lisa Vest, PhD, pub. North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, USA, ISBN 9781623177393 (Kobo,  Penguin Random House,  Barnes & Noble,  Bookshop,  Apple Books,  Amazon). 

I’d like to write about one perspective from that book, which relates to the topic of inappropriate reactions to teachers, acts of agape, etc, which I have written about, for instance, at  “agape”   https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2014/04/agape.html ,  “Post No. 221 - Inappropriate reactions to (agape) love”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2011/02/inappropriate-reactions-to-agape-love.html ,  and  “Post No. 183 - Avoiding positive energy”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2010/11/avoiding-positive-energy.html   

To simplify, I attribute such inappropriate reactions to glamour, abuses of the power imbalance, self punishment, failure to comprehend spirituality/dispassionate love (i.e., agape), and so forth.  

However, Ms List Vest also identifies another factor: 

the attraction of “supersensory” power/energy/ability - even if people are not physically attractive according to the mores and biases of a culture. 

That sort of impact would be strengthened by the sorts of exercises I use to strengthen my abilities (particularly the alternate nostril breathing), which explains what I considered surprising attractions when I started my training - as I couldn’t work out what I had done wrong (I sought to actively discourage such involvements). 

Now, I know I hadn’t done anything wrong - it was just an outcome of the energy.  

This, incidentally, has not been an issue as I age, underwent overwork and related problems at work, and wound up living a relatively isolated life to ensure ill family members are safe (they have low to no immune systems at times) - which is a relief. 

I can, however, pass that point on to others who may need it.   

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

• there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

IMO, OTAAT (“one term at a time”) is the next action to save representative  democracy, along with establishment of an organisation of human-rights observing  democracies as a functional alternative to the UN (especially the veto-sabotaged UN SC), along with all organisations being run using the seven "business" principles listed here, but also note this and this “Vision for Humanity”

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
