You are interested in becoming a seer..

There is a part of being sensitive for influences.. This can be practiced or already present at birth, or forced through trauma...
There is a big deal of belief... allowing the spirit to enter the body..
This can be the spirits of wisdom.. of healing.. of knowledge.. of destruction.. creation... you name them...
Then you should find willpower to exorcize your own demons..
Habits and forms that have stuck on you through growing up.. relations between you and the rest of it all are questioned..
You will go on a ride through hell and through heaven.. and you will exit the ride empty...
You end with nothing.. from there you start building an internal altar.. your body... your spiritbody...
It was always there.. but you find it again... and will be conscious of it...
How it reacts... how it pulls...how it pushes.. how it interacts.. how it buzzez.. how it works..
And if all you do is good..
If all you want is harmony.. healing.. creation...love...and togetherness....your body will shine... and you know when it's shining...
You may have felt it shine before..
This body can form it's abilities...

It is a road.. that is life itself..
I think an interesting road..
It's all in working on who you are..
And how you perceive the world around you...
How you add and alter to what already is... through action and creation...
There is a lot of readingmaterial out there that might interest you..
Read The holographic universe.. or works by Carl Jung...
The Tibetan book of the dead is a real transformative manuscript..
Read a lot and find your own ways.. in your own tempo..

My experience is that it happens.

At some point you find out ~ either through yourself or because the preponderance of external evidence makes it impossible to ignore. Most likely both.

I more likely dismiss it than trust that I am, and that has been a problem. The thing that is a big issue in many ways is the issue of what many people call "personal power." I have been so criticized for "giving that away." I don't think that people who say that really understand that you don't feel you have it to begin with, and wouldn't use it much if you did, and don't really agree with them anyway, and even it it's true, you sort of want to just be left alone anyway, so who the fuck cares? So to speak.

For my part, is completely unpredictable. I think you have to accept that by and large, because by and large it basically is like that.

And, yeah, cathy, I know you are ambivalent, and that's okay with me. I really don't require much really from anyone. It is just not that important at the end of the day. I understand you. But that makes it no easier. Because we aren't often speaking the same language. Sometimes we do, but more often we don't. I have already been where you are.

Stephanie, it is all perfectly possible in anyone, but not everyone goes there. And some people need not seek it. I think it is better if it just happens anyway. Dwelling on it is not entirely productive.

Most of the time, I am in a balancing act in life ~ I really think most people are in one way or another. My balancing act is, frankly, between the ordinary and the bizarre. I prefer the bizarre, but know that the ordinary keeps me sane. If that is an act you can balance, then, fine. Your choice. Just know yourself well enough before you choose, if the choice is there.

I saw a book that has various exercises. Probably breathing and thinking. I think how well people know each other becomes a sensation even when they are not around.
