Religious
Block
From
my experience I have observed that the most pervasive block
from the past comes from your religious background. Many people
have been raised to believe in a powerful authoritarian God
and to respect the “powers that be.” In this message it is often
also implied that we are fundamentally flawed and untrustworthy
beings, that we should seek our authority outside ourselves.
It
follows naturally that being blocked in this way arises out
of such a conservative religious and ethical orientation and
creates an unconscious anxiety about trusting yourself. At its
most obnoxious and superstitious level, we are taught to believe
that psychic ability is the work of the devil or his maleficent
forces. In its more subtle form, we are taught that the autonomy
that psychic abilities confer is somehow immoral. (This despite
the fact that Jesus Christ himself said, “Don’t you know that
ye are gods?”)
When
you awaken your psychic sense you will naturally overcome a
vulnerability to manipulation by others, be they unscrupulous
storefront psychics or less obviously manipulative people; when
you tune into your Higher Self it alerts you to any lack of
integrity on the part of people you deal with. Your Higher Self
steps in and takes the natural place of outside spiritual teachers
in directing you. I find that all people, if they genuinely
want to, are competent to undertake guidance of their own spiritual
journey when you are willing to be responsible for you choices
and decisions in life.
Whatever
religious training you may have had as a child may have been
necessary for your development and direction at the time. Ideally
it guided you into developing a balanced sense of right and
wrong, helped develop conscience, and taught you how to respect
others.
But
as an adult you may have to outgrow the restri ct ions imposed
upon you as a child in order to fully awaken your own higher
awareness. It may be time to investigate a little more deeply
into your religious beliefs to see if they truly support your
adult soul. Conclusions you drew as a child may not necessarily
serve you as an adult, especially if those conclusions are heavily
shame-based, guilt-based or controlling. And even more so if
those beliefs prevent you from connecting to and listening to
your own Divine guidance. Intuition is the loving voice of God
operating in your heart. As we evolve and mature spiritually,
we can become self-regulating rather than regulated from authorities
outside ourselves. And besides all religious masters from all
spiritual traditions encourage us to listen to our inner voice,
which is your sixth sense, your psychic sense.
If
your religious beliefs conflict with your personal intuition,
you can overcome this obstacle by questioning what is morally
and spiritually appropriate — for you. As an adult, you have
the right and opportunity to investigate and learn more, and
to draw conclusions not evident when you were a child. In awakening
your intuition, you act ually take a huge step toward leading
a sacred and blessed life. True psychic guidance is guidance
for the good of all concerned, not just for you.
Read,
ask questions, then turn the various ideas over to your soul,
and trust what rings true for you. Seek out more information.
Clear understanding of your psychic sense will help dissolve
all your religious blocks. And remember, this kind of block
is indicative of your growth. If you weren’t growing spiritually,
you wouldn’t be questioning the rules laid down for you as a
child. Each person has his or her own unique spiritual style
on the pathway of life.
If
you Reflect back on the teachings of all the greatest spiritual
masters, you will recall, repeated over and over again, “The
kingdom of Heaven is within.” The still voice of God is the
most direct personal affirmation of God’s love in your life.
Your experience will let you know if it is good and sacred.
All
the great spiritual masters — Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed — became
great because of their revolutionary teachings and beliefs.
It is good to question all, for truth endures scrutiny very
well.
Mental
Block
Some
people play psychic fireman with themselves by extinguishing
the fire of their psychic sense before even allowing it to fully
surface. By this I mean that your mind may censor, dismiss,
discount or disqualify many truly psychic feelings and experiences
by determining them to be mere coincidences, chance or luck,
and ignore what they have to offer, never considering that your
psychic feelings might be of service or beneficial to your life.
Therefore you tune out these higher inspirations and do not
consider them worth paying attention to.

When
you begin to pay attention to the voice of your soul, you become
aware of just how much you are being guided and directed from
Higher Planes at all times. Such guidance is psychic — it is
a communication “of the soul.” Sometimes these soul communications
may appear to directly conflict with your reason. When it does
don’t be surprised if the still small voice speaks up loud and
clear.
If
your thinking is overwhelming your intuition, the way to get
around it is to lighten up, back off, become more open minded
and realize that when it comes to your psychic sense everything
counts that comes from spirit, however insignificant, every
subtle magical twist in your day, every thought, every impulse,
every notion. It’s all psychic. None of the million and one
various ways a soul expresses itself, from a whisper to a gusting
wind, no impulse that comes from the soul should be disqualified.
Not one!
Again,
here is where your psychic journal becomes useful. Every time
you have a psychic impulse or experience, write it down, even
if you consider it 99 percent imagination. Remember, your psychic
sense is subtle and arises out of the imagination. It won’t
be long before you are forced to see just how frequently you
psychic is speaking to you, and how accurate it is! It’s an
eye-opener!
Being
psychic invites you to experience the world differently. It
allows you to see beyond appearances, and into the true relationship
between you and your life’s experiences. It makes you receptive
and aware of subtle guidance from God, from your Higher Self,
from your guides. It allows you to make choices that further
you on your spiritual path and ensure your deeper well-being.
Intellectual blocks are mostly bad habits, inherited perceptions,
and insecure disqualifications. You can cure Intellectual blocks
with a sense of humor, of wonder, and of awareness. So if your
head gets in the way — laugh, lighten up, and pay attention.
It
all counts!

The
Ugly Duckling Block
Unless
you view and accept your psychic sense as normal, natural, and
extremely important, embracing it as your highest and most informative
sense when it comes to sharing it you may feel self conscious
and uncomfortable fearing you are “different.” You are not so
much “different” as you are more awake. Being psychic has far-reaching
and deeply gratifying rewards, but it does carry along with
it special problems and challenges.
With
so much confusion and wrong information about the sixth sense
flying rampant across so many people’s minds no wonder people
get uncomfortable. These misconceptions are scary. Yet to be
truly psychic you must be willing to be different, to stand
apart from others and live your life as a self-directed person.
Most people in life fall into two camps — dominant and passive.
Dominant people push passive people around. Passive people submit
to dominant people. But there is another group, small but growing,
which is balanced. That group seeks neither to control nor to
be taken care of. They are directed by creativity, work with
love, and manipulate no one. To be psychic and spiritually aware
puts you in that group.
It’s
important to recognize that while psychic awareness is a gift,
in order to take advantage of this gift, you must agree to the
accompanying responsibilities. For one, you must accept that
psychic awareness not something people in general share, agree
upon, or even support — although, thankfully, that is changing.
