Oh boy OMJ, you keep my fingers so busy at times...but 'Ti's what I love about you! I think you might have misunderstood my original post. I didn't mean that I have lost all enthusiasm for psychics. If that is the message I conveyed to you, let me re-convey.



As someone who is very deeply passionate about metaphysics & mysticism, I also have realized that more than being extraordinary, it is very ordinary. Why? Because we are all here to learn what we are made of. When we first get here (earth), we as infants have a hard time seeing ourselves as separate from our mothers. It's only after we have the chance to experience the world more first hand as toddlers, that we realize that we are indeed separate beings & that mom was just the vessel that we arrived in. Although at one time completely attached to mom (physically, by the umbilical cord), we soon start to realize that we are two separate beings, as we mature. Then as we grow to be children, we realize that we actually have our own likes & dislikes when it comes to such things as food, clothes, thoughts & perceptions. As we further mature into adolescents we start to question everything. Why? Because as individuals that is our natural growth pattern. First we accept, then we ask why, then we listen, then we learn ....Then we decide for ourselves. Soon we stop believing that we are extensions of our vessels & start believing that we are in fact individuals ourselves, Vessels even, for someone else...who will come into this world believing for some short time that THEY are just extensions of US. Until they one day realize that they are indeed separate beings, then individuals & last but not least; the vessels that will bring a new individual, into his/her own. Until we learn later, that we are extensions...but not just of our mothers, but of a bigger whole, a bigger source, if you will.



This is how I look at Metaphysics, mysticism, & the universe. At first, my infant (in theory, not literally) mind said "This is so cool!" - when I learned certain things that mainstream society didn't accept or believe to be true. Then as I researched & soaked up everything I've learned on the subjects as I grew older, those beliefs became my 'core' & even so, became the beliefs of more of our society "mainstream". Does this make it mundane or generic for me? No, but now it's just not some belief that I consider a secret, that I was lucky enough to stumble upon anymore. Now, for me anyway, it's just simply reality. Does this make it any less special? Nope, just more normal. Then I go in search of more, & the more I learn, whether mainstream beliefs or not; the more I accept. And ironically the more I seem to accept, the more the world seems to accept, at about the same pace. Which makes it less extraordinary than ordinary. Do you follow me?



Think about the first time you rode your bike as a tot without training wheels. The exhilaration you felt as you took off down the side walk on 2 wheels vs 4 wheels. You felt free & magical...nothing could stop you! Then as you grew older, you were allowed to ride your bike in the street...WOW what a rush! Now you had to obey the street rules that adults in cars had to obey...you were a big boy!!! At this time you're thinking "Could life get any better?". YES...because then you get your license! Four lane traffic, freeways,blinking lights; you've even gone from a nifty little bell on the handlebars to a big bad horn & two lovely middle fingers to express your joy or dismay at your fellow drivers! And ironically you're back to 4 wheels. Now I ask you, as a grown man do you still feel like "Hell on wheels" when you ride your bicycle today? I'm sure you feel good when you ride that old bike, but really, is it magical like it used to be? I think not. Because you've grown from that stage, realizing that everybody can do it & at some point or another EVERYBODY WILL DO IT. Some may do it quicker & even better than others, but eventually it's all a very normal, ordinary thing that most everyone is quite capable of doing.



This is how I view everything that I have since learned that everyone is capable of doing. Including but not limited to connecting with spirit, medium-ship, clairvoyance, the paranormal, metaphysics, mysticism & psychic connections as well as being able to "see", feel & interpret things from other dimensions. At some point the more people that realize that this is possible for all to tap into, the more normal & ordinary it becomes. And the more ordinary it becomes, the less magical it becomes - because it isn't magic...it's reality.


Does this mean that it has become lackluster for me? Nope, just more normal or ordinary rather than EXTRAORDINARY. Like, being in awe of a magician ...until you learn the illusion behind his tricks! Isn't that what our human limitations are in the end anyway...Illusions! We are under the impression that magical, gifted, chosen ones posses the power to "see" & communicate with other dimensions, when in reality we are all gifted, magical see-ers, visionaries, vessels, extensions & individuals that stem from the same whole. And in the end, we will all find that we could always do these things, we just had to get past the ILLUSION that WE COULDN'T do them.


I am very much still in awe of these things OMJ, but not in awe of the people who claim to be the ONES who can do them. In awe more so, of the people who still believe that they CAN'T!



BELIEFS CREATE YOUR REALITY...

Much love always, Bless =0)
