Yes, i also would point to: „Basics first“


Many people are living in La La land regarding ESP capabilities. They wish: “Let me read her thoughts about me! / Let me know the next lottery-numbers! / Let me see my blonde neighbour while having a shower! Etc..
I think it is better they can’t do all these things, because they would definitely derail their own progress if they could.

ESP can be a boon or a curse, but in any case you have to be matured enough for the task.

If these abilities are gained through a natural spiritual development, then you might be able to handle them, otherwise it’s a lot of stress.

Imagine a very spiritual, loving, gentle, 100% telepathic person caught up in a packed train while, beside him, a charged dispute about a vacant seat is going on. Can you imagine the stress of perceiving all the tensed up thoughts and emotions?

I attended a meeting in 1986 in a European capital. Suddenly one guy spontaneously exclaimed: ”Something terrible has just happened!” His eyes were getting wet and he was obviously fighting to keep his shape. It was January and the space-shuttle Challenger had exploded just that moment. Emotional terror-waves from the many children in the USA seeing their teacher-idol blown into pieces emerged from that event like a global tsunami. The guy felt these emotions and was still able to finish this dinner meeting.
Could you?

So far for La La land.


Clarity: Do you have a spiritual guide(ance) ? inner or outer?
