How can I develop my abilities further?

[cutiecat]

Hey all! Thank you for reading this. As some of you may know I got my intuition recently heightened to some abnormal level I was walking on the street and knew lots of thins about everyone on the street. Couple days after some information about the family members came to me, including some knowledge about the health issues. I freaked out and started to pray for my abilities to go away. Couple days after that it subsided, I'm not bombarded by the information anywhere I go, but I became less accurate and it takes me more effort now. I think I'd love to have my abilities, but controlled. It would be amazing to regulate the power of my antenna My Yi ching reading gave 24, line 2 to 19. I wish I knew whats the advice here.

Thanks guys!

Its saying you have some innate abilities, but you are in danger of misinterpreting them, perhaps magnifying their significance unduly.
I sense you have a great struggle against the attractions of materialism. So far relatively successfully. Fight the nagging ego voice here. You have reached a spirual and interactional level that many of us are at, or intermittenly are in receipt of. Share it with the rest of us. Do not emphasise its perceived singularity to you.

I'm not struggling against the materialism. Not at all. We need money to live here on Earth, I have nothing against pure materialism. I'm used to a cetain lifestyle and I'd love to keep it this way. I'm not trying to achieve any spiritual level, i just want my abilites to be used in the most pragmatic and effective way, being able to regulate my acute perceptions and use it fo my own good c'est tout. And to make $$$, And realize my deepest desires. And if while doing all that i can still help others in some way - it would be a truly fulfilling life

 

[simon ian]

Its worse than I thought.

 

[cutiecat]

I do not see anything wrong with maintaining my physical body here on earth while exercising my 6 sense No need to be so upset, Simon

 

[simon ian]

Im not at all. Im just concerned you may be misinterpreting what is happening to you. Your perception of it I dont think is in balance, or your reactions to it.
You should maybe balance yourself before you approach it.
This you do by asking some self probing questions about how you are and should be approaching this thing that has come up, to the oracle.

I had 24 unchanging myself, just yesterday. About the best states of mind to adopt when interacting with the "other". Theres a thread about it I started. Ive been meditating on it a bit.

Just advice, nothing more nor less.

Even the giver needs to eat, therefore charging for one services is a necessary act of survival. Also asking for payment brings the serious seeker to one's door, as freebies just attract the greedy and the time wasters.

Therefore to improve you need to relax, control your desires to do, this, that and the other. Practice makes one better, its like a progression, slowly building up your abilities and it takes time as your abilities I'm sure are very scattered now, picking up bits and pieces from all over.

It calls for a generosity of spirit, the willingness to help others, but you need to have determination to make yourself successful. We cannot do this for you, it is up to you to find your way, therefore, if Joan de Arc could do it, and Edgar Cayce as well, so can you.

wow WF! Thanks a lot! What an encouraging post! Why did it subside? Do you have any idea? I'm not picking as many things now and not about everyone, like a week ago.

Simon, no kidding my reaction to whats happening is quite strong. I'm mean if you were blind all your life and suddenly started to see, good and bad, beauty and ugliness, sure you'll start freaking out and be confused. i like how Wf is totally supportive and encouraging...Offline people with real abilities are very supportive of me as well and they do not tell me things like oh, you are overexaggerating the importance, you have no real ability or stuff like that. I just do not find it helpful at all, plus it's plain bs. Sure i have abilities that are out of the ordinary, I never knew stuff about people I've never seen in my life before. I'm just not sure how can it be controlled?

By your own admission you tried to force your "seeing" to go away and your mind has partly complied with your wish.

Now you have to undo what you told your mind to do.

Is there any chance you could expand on this statement as I think I may have misunderstood as so far it seems to me this is what happened to you...correct me where i am wrong ;

You suddenly woke up one morning, maybe 2 weeks ago and when you went out on the street you knew 'stuff' about strangers and they were asking for your phone number. Was this because you were actually stopping them on the street and telling them what you knew, at random ? Did you initiate conversation with them to tell them these things....just curious. If you did that around here probably people would just walk away...

Anyway after a little while you began to get freaked out you said by your 'paranormal' (that was your word) abilities. You tried giving readings to others here but it didn't work so you figured your paranormal powers didn't work on the internet. I suggested a phone call to a member in your country to see if it worked by phone, not sure if you did that.

Anyway in previous threads this paranormal abiltity became a 'curse' to you but luckily it now has subsided and you know less than you did....which is what you wanted..... except now you want to get some of it back ?

If i have the story right then the advice of 24.2 is clear enough. If you reread your own narrative what do you think 24.2 is saying ?

It all seems a bit of a roller coaster ride to me...so what do you think 24.2 might say is next best on your super paranormal abilities roller coaster ride story ?

Its a shame that in the time you had these abiltiies...some of which must remain....? you could gain not insight into your own experience. Perhaps if you read it as a story you are telling someone else then 24.2 would be clear as an advice as to what you might tell that person

You don't seem to speak much of your understanding of the I Chings answers. I'd really like to know what you think about 24 if you look at it as a comment on the story so far

 

[Trojina]

As Simon said earlier you share these 'abilities' with many many others to some degree or another but seem to feel you are exceptional or weird in some way. The so called 'paranormal' is actually perfectly normal...don't get hung up on either having it or not having it...thats your 24.2 IMO.

 

[cutiecat]

Yep. WF, makes sense. To Trojan, do not you think if knew the answers to my I ching questions I wouldnot have come to this forum. I'm here precisely becuase i do not the answers or sometimes not sure about them. But thanks for your intepretastion Trojan, These abilities were certinly not normal me up until last week. It does not feel normal to be able to knwo things about people with no effort on my part.
Sure it's weird and not normal.
And how can I relax? I'm freaking out every second of my day

Off topic though, I purchased this book by Karcher Kuan-Yin Oracle, it seems much more user friendly to me ANd always optimistic, just what doctor ordered. Most of the times I do not understand Yi ching answers anyways. What do you guys think of this Oracle? Is it accurate? Is it an advice giver or a future prediction thing? It seems very simple to me.

Hey CC,

Your question was "How can I develop my abilities further?"

The answer - hex 24 - returning to one's own path, line 2: (quote from the AFPC Yi Jing website)

Six in the second place means:
Quiet return. Good fortune.

Return always calls for a decision and is an act of self-mastery. It is made easier if a man is in good company. If he can bring himself to put aside pride and follow the example of good men, good fortune results.

I'd take it as: accept your gift fully now (no more freakouts and prayers for it to be taken away ) and follow the example and advice of the people who have gifts similar to yours and have had to learn to live with them. Mercifully, such people seem to pop up on your life path when you need them most (but not nearly as often as one would like, still)!

Good luck and bright blessings on your path!

 

[cutiecat]

Thanks a lot hooliganetta! It seems to really calm down...May be my prayers were answered. I wish my other prayers would be answered as promotly

[gato]

like i told you before, watch your steps...

24.2 - leave it, don't think about it, let it come to you

 

[cutiecat]

Gato , thanks! I find "watch your step" is very vague. What exactly do I need to do? Your warning can apply to everything pretty much. Can you be more specific please?

 

[strawberry_blood]

Dear CC,

It seem the IC has already given you the answer, and now it is time to go and act. Remember, Return always calls for a decision and is an act of self-mastery. It is made easier if a man is in good company. I strongly feel you need to ensure you do not go through this opening up on your own, go and seek out a group for psychic development, attend their meetings/classes and learn how to harness your powers.
Something similar happened to me a year ago, and after the moment of awakening it took me a whole month just to learn to function - though I sought help from fellow psychics, it was more in line with "please tell me how to live with this" and less of an act of learning to use my gift! It is true, after a month my knowing was somewhat dulled down - but my life has not been the same since, I feel the Spirit moving behind every event, like an undercurrent, sometimes I am given information on the things unfolding - even so, it feels like walking on a tightrope - feeling every step of the way, balancing and enjoying the beauty of this balancing act.It's almost as if I have been given as much "sight" as I can currently handle.

I hope it will settle down for you, too - but please do not repeat my mistake and do join a community/class that will help you develop your gift while your senses are acute.

Bright blessings to you!

Gato , thanks! I find "watch your step" is very vague. What exactly do I need to do? Your warning can apply to everything pretty much. Can you be more specific please?

it is very vague because lots of things can happen ranging for simple depressions, disillusions to more serious encounters. hopefully nothing you can't deal with, but you have to be strong and stable. are you ?

 

[cutiecat]

Hooliganetta, what a comforting story for me! It seems you are descibing my own experience. Yes, it definetely dulled down, and I wish I could find some reputable pschycic development group. My goal is though not to do reading for other people or predict the future. It must be something else, not sure what exactly ranging from options trading to medicine. I need to be able to develop my telepathy. Now it seems for the past 2 days that I'm not picking uo a lot, and whatever I'm picking up sometimes is not about a person I think. For instance, in this massage place i though it was the massage therapist who lives in a certain address in my city, turn out it's the owner of the place. Stuff like that. May be someone can recommend a group for me, hopefully not a scam group?

Gato, currently I'm neither strong or stable, but I feel protected somehow, so I do not expect any sinister events.

i have never found this oracle to be accurate at all. it definitely made me respect the I ching more than I already had.

if you are serious about developing intuitive abilities, and about asking for counsel, as 24.2 advises, maybe start by quietly intuiting your own responses from the I Ching?

a quiet mind is essential. "freaking out every minute of every day" is not the quiet mind

 

[willowfox]

Have to agree, Karcher's oracle is just another one of his strange ideas, that doesn't make sense and doesn't look that easy to understand either.

There was another divinatory system called the Ling Chi Ching which is very easy, the book can be purchased from eBay for about a $1 but you would need to make 12 little discs and draw a symbol on each.

 

[cutiecat]

Thanks Bamboo! I find Kuan Yin very primitive, but it's simple Yi ching is way beyond my poor head, unofrtunately, if not for this forum most of the time I cannot make any sense of it. Yes, quieting my mind, hard to do at the moment, I'm all over the place.

I bought this karcher book, and surprisingly it works for me much-much better than Yi. Well, to each hiw own I guess.

Jessica Macbeth's The Faeries' Oracle, illustrated by Brian Froud, has shown me to be accurate and helpful, whether you're inclined to believe literally in the world of faeries and their influences, or see them as aspects of our own human consciousness, the oracle effect becomes quickly apparent. Jessica is a practicing Buddhist, a well rounded and grounded individual. She "knows" the faeries personally, and translates their messages through her oracle. Often Brian Froud is headlined by the publisher, because he's already a well known fantasy illustrator. But other than Brain nailing Jessica's vision visually, it was Jessica who wrote the text and ordered their significance.

Not my cup of tea to entertain, but I do respect her and her work.
