The Relationship of Psychic Ability to Reading the Tarot
I don't support the notion that only a few, exceptional individuals
possess psychic ability. I believe in fact, that everyone
has this gift. The difference between those who are identified
as psychics, is that they actively work to develop their psychic
ability, rely on it, and act on its insight. This is the secret
of becoming a psychic! When you pay attention to information
that comes into your consciousness from "unknown" sources,
and act on that information, your ability to intuit strengthens
10 fold. It's like any muscle in the body - "use it or lose
it", as the old adage goes.
There are 5 psychic senses just as there are 5 physical
senses. A demonstrated strength in one over the others is
thought to be genetically determined.
Clairvoyance – "seers" connect the
inquirers problems to psychic sources and prescribe ritual
actions and medicines to them – they can see auras and
energy fields around a person and can see things about a person
through a personal object the client has touched or used.
Telekinesis – this is the ability to move objects
with the mind; light bulbs burning out, cracks in tables suddenly
appearing, and psychic healing.
Telepathy – this is knowing what is in the mind
of another; empathic and deep understanding of others often
what is in the unconscious mind of the client. Some people
are "senders" and others are "receivers".
Some are able to do both. When you think of a gifted psychic
sender, imagine someone who is remarkablly charasmatic and
able to convince others to share their views or material things.
Receivers are gifted empaths and have a profoundly deep understanding
of other people. They make truly amazing counselors and healers.
Mediumship – someone who is able to communicate
with spirits beyond the grave. This is a person able to go
into full trance and be inhabited by souls of the dead; these
communications through the medium may be verbally relayed
or through the use of automatic writing, or clairaudience
(hearing messages).
Precognition – The psychic receives unbidden
visions and dreams of what is destined to happen. The insight
might be revealed through waking or sleeping images or simply
through the use of a divining tool such as Tarot or the I-Ching.
Some people experience clear visions of what will take place
for individuals and for the whole of humanity.
Kathleen was uniquely blessed in her ongoing process of spiritual
unfoldment which began when she was a child. She became aware
of her spiritual gifts objectively at about 12 years of age.
Up until then she just assumed everyone thought the way she
did. Once aware of it however she was relentless in her determination
to understand it and at 15 years old she gave a presentation
on telepathy to her Grade 10 Physics class that was enthusiastically
received. In fact an informal vote was taken by the students
to elect her presentation the best Physics class ever. Not
that it was a terrifically high bar to leap.
At 17 she was racing home from school (now in Grade 12) every
day to learn and practice yoga with Karena on PBS. No one
was doing yoga in those days (1972) that she knew of anyway
and since she was already suffering from a somewhat outcast
position to her peers, she certainly wasn't bragging about
her perfect downward facing dog. But then she had already
been warned by her mother to keep much of who she was on the
quiet anyway. She said if people knew you could read their
minds they might do worse than shun you. So she researched,
did her yoga and vented to her mother who was unrelenting
in her support of her individuality. She abhorred conformity
and generally liked very few people so the fact that Kathlee
was undeniably showing signs of becoming the most eccentric
girl in town really tickled her. And she would have loads
of fun playing psychic games with Kathleen. She would urge
Kathlee to "guess" at someone's name, where they
were from or some small detail about them and then they would
ask and when it was revealed that Kathleen was right, it would
make her day. She would crow with excitement and joy. So not
only was Kathleen's development supported, it was enormously
celebrated on a daily basis. It never occurred to her that
she might be just crazy. Or that her mother was for that matter.
As she matured she just naturally gravitated to people who
were also interested in spiritual matters. She had a stream
of spiritual teachers that gave her just the right guidance
at the most auspicious time. She sought academic training
throughout North America that encouraged in depth psycho/spiritual
pursuit. Kathleen studied Carl Jung extensively until she
was lecturing on Jung for the Jung Society of Greater Victoria
in the early '90's. Kathleen completed a Master's degree in
Religion and Culture finding classes and teachers that shared
a "somewhat" like mind. She's had a host of wonderful
role models as her therapists and counselors.
In Kathleen's psychic advisory practice she is honoured and
yet concerned for the people who have not been as fortunate
as she. She has met many people over the years who were on
the verge of suicide as a result of feeling isolated and overwhelmed
with spiritual experiences. She has had clients who were intent
on exploring their inner life whose families perceived them
as crazy and wanted to put them on psychiatric medications
to stem the flow of spiritual downloading. Most of these people
have not had the benefit of a conceptual framework to understand
what they are experiencing. There are times when regressive
behaviour and severe disorientation are a part of spiritual
growth and it requires patience not medication.
If you are going through an overwhelming spiritual unfoldment
don't despair. You aren't alone and you're not crazy.
