This morning, I walked around my neighborhood to help ease me back into going to the gym. I've been nursing a groin injury since Mother's Day and the only reason why I remember it as that weekend is because I had a free group reading that night for those on my mailing list. My god do I miss the gym.
So! Lately, I've been finding myself lingering in the mind-space of trying to figure out how my skills operate. It began to plague my mind since it is just so strange! How does it work? How does it XYZ ABC 123? I take that fascination and almost OCD-like obsession due to my 6th House Stellium in my natal chart. I need to really tame that influence because it can become over-dramatic with the fine details, improvement border-lining obsession, and other extreme Virgo qualities.
So! Then Higher Mind / Team Light shot me with a lightning bolt of knowledge as I was studying my astrology books, taking notes, and digesting dinner.
How these skills - Psychic & Mediumistic - are Automatic...Autonomous...it is just like how our bodies just BREATHE. Think about when you try to obsess over your breathing and all of a sudden you pay no attention to your breathing, but you're still breathing.
This analogy / metaphor helped me to realize another side to the Intuitive Instrument within the human species. How we are Psychic & Mediumistic & Electrical Beings always working with our bodies' Psychism. I, and those like myself, have just somehow found a way to exaggerate and focus and harness whatever "organ" provides the Antenna to pick up on information.
It really is just 1 + 1 = 2. I remember watching a Psychic Detectives episode featuring one of my favorites! Noreen Renier. She talked about how people asked her how her psychic mind works and she fires back at them asking them how their logic mind works.
Me trying to obsess over how Psychism operates is like trying to figure out how Consciousness and our Logic Mind operates. I could literally drive myself crazy in the search!
This now leads me to this passage that I snapped a photo of from Stephen's book:
Stephen discussed the warning - the omen - concerning astrologers and their attempts to Scientism-ify their work. To make the work become so quantified, qualified, and reduced to fit the mold of the disaster and virus which is called Scientific Materialism - the Inversion.
This made me sit and realize how this mind-virus is also starting to sweep into the Psychic & Mediumistic Worlds.
There's a balance between using Scientific Principles to hypothesize, to test, to debate, to form conclusions, to do all that which makes actual science wonderful! Then there's the need to also allow the Artistry of Psychism to unfold and to not make a Reading so Sterile. I have no problem with being tested as I already have. But....when a Reading is reduced to a sterile, bleached laboratory...where is the Heart, Soul, Art, & Magic?
