The following is from the course on psychic-spiritual development that I am working on (ad which is some time off completion as yet). 

***  

Let’s start some basic considerations of psychic matters – beginning with forms of psychic sensing, also sometimes referred to as nonphysical sensing, extrasensory perception, or ESP, a “sixth sense”, and a whole host of folk names such as “second sight”. 

The approach that I have found most useful is to view the nonphysical sense as higher octaves of the physical senses. 

The five physical senses are touch, taste, smell, hearing, and seeing; with their “higher octave” (or “higher frequency”/less dense or nonphysical) versions, that becomes: 

However, I consider the assessment of physical senses as being five in number is wrong – which is a view I first came across with Brendan Myers’ idea of thinking as an organ of perception, which makes intuition the nonphysical version of thinking … 

That was further developed through my study of autism, which introduced me to interoception, or awareness of internal signals about the body (such as hunger, thirst, etc), and proprioception, or the sense of body position/movement/place in immediate reality. 

On top of that, I have speculated that our interaction with reality, including our various forms of communication, is another “sense”, one related to our impact on our surrounds – because we are not passive objects in reality: we exert influence(s), for better or worse, or just occasionality neutrally. 

Adding those additional senses to the list above, and the table is expanded to the following: 

PS - the nonphysical entry in the last row in the table above could also be described as magickal will 

The various nonphysical senses can generally be further developed with practice.  

 

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

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

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that 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 descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 220 - Clairvoyance and making/seeking improvements

Some time ago I asked my guides and Higher Self to help me focus on improving my use of my third eye chakra. At the time, my intention was to improve my perception of auras and spirits, possibly even moving that to more objective rather than subjective [1] clairvoyance.

Well, my percpetion of auras is about the same, and my perception of etherics is slightly improved, but the main benefit I seem to have acquired from that is that I am getting better insight into motivation of people.

I have always been reasonably good with this, which can actually be a problem when I tend to "hear" the underlying wish rather than the superficial words, but it has improved. As an example, I am more aware of things like the young person serving me at the local supermarket recently who resented the fact that I didn't fit into their expectation of what a person of my gender "should" be like. (That, incidentally, wasn't a reaction based on my being trans so much as my being a certain type [i.e. butch] of lesbian.) there are two young women at work here whop have similar reactions.

I should make it clear that those reactions are NOT related to the young age of the people concerned: other young people, including young people here at work, have been very accepting of me. Some young people, such as my partner's daughter, are VERY accepting and inclusive of diversity. Nevertheless, some people have problems, problems that they may otherwise hide quite well (as was the case of the person serving me recently), but the attitude problems AND THE ASSOCIATED ENERGY are there, and it can be useful to be aware of those energies to enable better protection [2] of yourself and others.

Oh, this is not just a case of being more paranoid: the increased awareness is also of people who I am surprised by their supportiveness. Unfortunately, that sort of example doesn't make as much of an impact.

I talked recently to my partner about how I approach achieving psychic/spiritual goals generally, and it might be worth repeating the gist of that discussion.

The conversation started with me waffling about how our other soul parts (I prefer the term parallels, so will use that [3] ) more or less form large parts of our unconscious, and we can possibly make achieving change more effective by finding more out about our parallels, as we can then personify the various aspects of our unconscious in much the same way that energies/principles may be personified as deities. This can make it easier for some people to relate to the energies, and - in the case of changing our unconscious - may make it easier for people to relate to, understand and work through the various forms of resistance to change that we have buried in our unconscious.

As an example, suppose one of your parallels had recently been a slave and, in that life, had been worked to death. That entity, who is one part of our unconscious, may now have an aversion to hard work because of that past life. So ... if you are trying to be more disciplined and harder working in achieving your goals, you may find it hard to understand why it is so hard until you communicate (whether telepathically, or via the Higher Self or via meditation or self hypnosis) and explain that there is an important issue of free choice here, and that you choosing to work hard is not related to the parallel having been forced to work themselves to death. You can work, and the parallel can take things easy.

From the parallel's point of view, if they were not spiritually/psychically aware, they may simply find themself crankier or touchier than usual about the subject of levels of work/rest. If they have some awareness, they may have some confusing dreams of wanting to work and not wanting to work at the same time.

At around this point, the question was asked "how do I know who my parallels are?"

Well, in my case I have become aware of them through meditation and automatic writing, but before that I did quite a bit of preparation. I made sure my intent to become aware of my parallels was made known to my Higher Self and, as much as possible, my unconscious. (This can be done by using affirmations - or Lobsang Rampa's version of prayer [see pages 142 to 146 of "The Rampa Story"].)

Next I would view and clear any past lives where I had either reduced people's knowledge, or their ability to gain access to knowledge, or made the knowledge less accurate. As an example, if I had been counting bushels of grain going into a store in ancient Egypt, and had allowed myself to daydream or be distracted, and perhaps as a result there wasn't enough grain stored for times of famine, or I was counting ballast stones onto a boat and similarly got it wrong (possibly with the result hat the ship was lost), then I would have incurred some negative karma. By acknowledging that life, genuinely learning from the mistake (including taking action to make sure I don't repeat the mistake now or in the future), and trying to give reparation in whatever (usually astral or nonphysical) way I can to my victims (e.g. send them healing), then I can reduce the return of that karma, which makes it more likely that I will now get accurate information about my parallels.

The more preparation I do, the better things go :) In this case, after the preparation, I was able to use a series of meditations and automatic writing to gain some awareness of some of my parallels - making sure I actively checked the guidance I received along the way.

Hope this is of some interest and use :)

Post No. 161 - How to know if I am mad (one suggested way, at any rate)

OK: the context to this post is the widely held (with some validity, it must be conceded) view that hearing voices is an indication of some sort of mental health issue. Now, before I go any further, I wish to state that having a mental health issue is NOT a reason for discrimination or making baseless assumptions. Amongst the people know and love who have mental health issues are a relative with Tourettes, a friend with Aspergers (and very good cooking skills) and a range of people with other issues requiring either medication and/or counselling and/or other care. For that matter, I have to take care to manage my stress levels properly, as chronic stress (predominantly workplace stress, in my case) can lead to mental ill health.

So.

This post is not about mental health issues being "problems", but the notion that hearing voices is a sign of having mental health issues. The reason I am writing it is that I recently read (and I apologise for not keeping the source details handy) of a view that the way to tell whether you are clairaudient or suffering from mental health issue is that, with the former, you hear the voices inside your head, whereas with the latter, you hear them outside your head.

That's actually not quite correct.

From a psychic point of view, when your clairaudeint perception is of voices inside your head, it is referred to as "subjective clairaudience", whereas when the perception is of voices outside your head, it is "objective clairaudience". The overwhelming majority of my clairaudience is (as with my other psychic perceptions) subjective.

I have had moments of objective psychism - once when I was woken by hearing a voice in my room calling my name, and more recently a episode of rapping that I posted about. I have similarly had a couple of episodes of objective clairvoyance (once during my early training, when I saw one of Guides' sandals; another time many years before then when I saw the souls of those about me, great spheres of light, while sailing [1]). However, most of the time my perception is "inside me" - and is nothing the lesser for that, just as is the case with others: if you perceive subjectively, rather than objectively, there is NOTHING wrong with your psychic ability. Movies and books implying that you have to see as if they are so real and solid that you could almost confuse them with "real" (meaning physically incarnate and physically present) people are spouting a load of rubbish.

On the other hand, going back to clairaudience, objective examples of psychic ability do exist, and it is possible that you hear voices outside your head as a result of such ability. IN EITHER CASE, you must "test your spirits". NEVER take ANYTHING you hear from a non-physical source as having automatic credibility - as we should exercise a healthy scepticism in our physical lives, so too must we exercise personal responsibility and HEALTHY scepticism about our psychic perceptions.

Do you want to know if you have a mental health issue? See an appropriately trained professional.

Notes:

1. On this occasion, the trigger was hearing a woman crewing on one of the other boats laugh, and a phrase from one of Richard Bach's books came to mind: "We are the otters of the Universe - fun-loving, playful creatures" (that quote is probably NOT exact, given the passage of a few decades :) ). At that moment, my eyes rolled up into my head (they didn't, on the other occasion) and I spent the next 30 seconds or so manouvering the boat through things like a few tacks with only the whites of my eyes visible. My crew seemed a bit wary of me for the rest of that regatta ...

Updates:

1. I sahould also mention that I actually can objectively see etherics under certain circumstances easily, but I actually consider that a fairly low level of psychism - it doesn't mean much, if anything.
