Agonies & Ecstasies Go Beyond the Psychic If you should have a psychic experience — i.e., see ethereal forms, hear voices, have tactile sensations about people beyond range of normal touch, smell fragrances others can’t, see departed souls, glimpse possible future events — write it down. Don’t try to interpret or understand it right away. Examine it in the light of your normal consciousness and scriptural writings. If you think it’s important or affects you emotionally, discuss it with someone you know to be spiritually attuned. You see, the problem with psychic impressions is that sometimes they’re right, other times they’re wrong. Sometimes these impressions are only partial and woefully incomplete. Sometimes, too, your psychic experience is a vivid reflection of what you want to experience — a vivid fantasy. Gain a calm insight about your psychic impressions while pushing forward as fast as you can into higher consciousness. Go beyond the psychic. Consider it a transitional level of awareness through which you are moving. It’s also true that you should not totally disregard your psychic experiences. Consider the foreman of a crew deep within an African diamond mine who suddenly received the psychic impression that the mine shaft was about to collapse on all his crew. He ordered immediate evacuation. As soon as his men were safely outside, the shaft collapsed into rock and rubble. Was the impression from higher consciousness or an intermediate psychic level? It could have been either. Fortunately, the foreman didn’t file away his impression for later study. He acted on his "intuition." For the most part, examine your psychic experiences in the light of day. Act on them only if they seem appropriate while benefiting others as well as yourself. Always strive to distinguish between your psychic and spiritual impressions. And don’t, if you would know higher consciousness, encourage psychic activity. Avoid making — or letting — your mind go blank. Don’t seek psychic impressions of others or of events. Go beyond, seek your own reliable higher consciousness.
