Types of Psychic Powers

I will begin this post with a series of links that briefly talk about various "Psychic" or extra-sensory abilities that people report in great numbers around the globe. Throughout history people have held the belief that some or all people has these abilities, in more recent times on our planet many of these people with heightened abilities were given names, Druids, Witches, Warlocks, Shaman, Brujas/Brujos, Magi, and Masters.

It is my belief that these abilities or powers are a very natural part of being human, they may be at times burdens in modern society but ultimately allow us to connect to each other, and larger picture of ourselves and the universe.

My thoughts:

I would also like add some of my own experience and understanding on the areas I am sensitive too. although I have researched some of these many abilities I only wish to speak about what I have personal experience with. I am not a very big fan of labels, classifications in almost any setting but for the sake of this post I would most closely identify with being an Intuitive Empath navigating the sea of "feels" :)

From a young age I had a solid lie detector, it was usually obvious on peoples faces but I could feel myself get uncomfortable  and anxious and then would see the lie on there faces. I would say I have always been sensitive to others but when puberty happened it increased quite a bit, I was not able to understand then that the bombardment of emotions, feeling, thoughts I would experience were not all coming from me, this made public education very challenging.
People who identify as empaths are prone to depression, I would say a lot of this is due to the constant filtering and barriers needed to live "normally" like others (i.e. not in isolation) and the difficulty of balancing that with having social relationships and friends. My own depression was a gift and come into full form in the most beautiful divinely crafted way, this was accepted and necessary for me to go through in order to be who I am now.

I would like to try and describe how it feels to be empathic. It is natural feeling to me now but when others are near my focus is altered, I feel just as my own feelings the pain, the joy and the deeper tones of others. At this day and time I have a series of filters and barriers so that I have more focus on what I identify as myself, I know my feelings and reactions and thoughts.
My filter is like a bubble or priority list, that helps me balance myself and others separation.

Sometimes this filter is broken, I can lax on maintaining this through many habits or lack there of, also surges of extreme emotion or large group's feeling the same way can buff off this filter temporarily. I live in Austin TX in the USA and each year we have some big music/art festivals, during these times of ACL or SXSW I can feel the mass crowds enjoying themselves, loving each other and having fun. I am not found of crowds as much but I enjoy the festivals for the "good vibes" they bring.

I am sensitive to environments, lighting, color and symmetry through all my senses. Visually symmetry gives me a very pleasuring calming feeling with an alert mind, symmetric sounds do the same. Color is a big "feeling-giver" wearing certain colors has impact on my mood.


I would say Empathic abilities are part of my spirit shining through, these are my only natural gifts in terms of powers and abilities.
I do feel there is almost a second category of 'psychic abilities' but only in that they relate to similar directions on a path. These would be learned or trained powers that one can build, in theory anyone can get better and improve with such abilities. This would mean we are all psychic and those we call psychic are just exhibiting more developed abilities.

"We are all so desperate to be understood, we forget to be understanding." -Beau Taplin

Accept:


"Happiness can exist only in acceptance." -George Orwell

"Positive thinking isn't about expecting the best to happen every time, it is about accepting that whatever happens is best for that moment." -Unknown

"What you deny or ignore you delay. What you accept and face, you conquer." -Unknown

Forgive:


"Forgiveness stops the wheel of karma"- Law of One

"Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." -Bruce Lee

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." -Mark Twain

"Everything is just as it needs to be. And if we would forgive, our minds and hearts would open and we could see another possibility." -Iyanla Vanzant

"If they don't forgive you, you just have to forgive yourself, and realize that you've done all that you could to make it right." -Sonya Parker

My own thoughts:

I think about what it feels to have resentment and anger towards someone, Usually my first response is a very mental and separating as well {they must be wrong, or foolish in this matter} or I might even go as far to judge who they are and belittle there character in my thoughts to make myself feel more righteous. 

I rationalize that at least I am not insulting them or fighting, but still I don't feel serenity.

The more I learn in this young body of mine I see we really are all the same, or at least cut from the same cloth. Identifying at times as an Empath I am very sensitive to the feelings of others, it hits my core and I relate with their sensations, I am grateful for this sensitivity but also feel this we all have. 

Any time I cause harm to another somewhere within myself there is turmoil, and for any action of mine to others/& the world, by the wheel of karma turning I do this action to myself.

But it is even in not forgiving and HOLDING the grudge that I hurt myself. 

The mental fear, anger, and resentment I hold to others is a poisonous gas I cloak myself in that carries over others near me, I feed those I resent this poison without intention. 

At this point in time I see forgiveness as mandatory if I am to exist and experience life in which the way my heart desires. 

I like the order of Understand, Accept, and then Forgive in this idea but I do not see any rigidness needed for any of these concepts.
