Compassion, the doorway to enhanced psychic ability

Image Credit: stockxpert True psychic ability, that is a natural increase in what would appear to manifest as a meta-normal state for obtaining and knowing information outside of the conventional ways that information normally is acquired, only happens in a direct response to an increase in the spiritual level of one's consciousness. Of course, enhanced intuition is common to everyone from time to time; and admittedly, some people are born with a more pronounced psychic or intuitive state of "knowing" than others. But what I am talking about here is an actual, obvious, and ultra-enhanced state of all-inclusive awareness, providing both knowledge and cognitive awareness of things, situations, and temporal outcomes that one would not normally have access to. Real psychic awareness is evidenced by a a sudden "leap," as it were, over the usual steps necessary to gain knowledge and awareness. With real psychic ability, one is said to "just know" things without any recourse to the usual avenues for obtaining knowledge. Whatever information it is that the psychic seeks, is just suddenly there, in the mind, as a "holographic" and totally complete picture.

As I said, while some seem to have naturally a certain amount of this psychic perception, for others it can only be increased --- and actually enhanced to a remarkable and amazing degree --- only through two methods, both of which have as their ultimate outcome and effect, the expansion and higher development of spiritual consciousness: Those two methods are:

(1) Meditation, coupled with individual exercises that are specifically designed to increase one's spiritual and psychic awareness, such as the "Middle Pillar" exercise (see my website wwwtomorrowsprophecy.com or check out at Amazon.com).

and

(2) Compassion, a greater state of awareness and empathy for the hardships, sufferings, and greater happiness of others.

Compassion, which can only be increased by a genuine and sincere effort and attempt to put yourself in the place of others, "to walk in the shoes of others," so to speak, naturally increases, somewhat exponentially, as a direct consequence and secondary effect of meditation.

To expedite this process, though, which naturally occurs as one expands their awareness and sensitivity to the feelings and physical circumstances of others, it is sometimes helpful to personally design a visualization exercise, or adapt an already established and proven visualization method, that has as its ultimate aim and effect to put one's self, imaginatively anyway, into the circumstances and emotional state of others. Of course, the subject of this exercise can be anyone, someone you know, have seen, or are just simply are aware of as a person who seems to be going through some sort of struggle or other difficulty in life. In this imaginative attempt to experience whatever it is that they are experiencing, to "feel" whatever it is that they must be feeling, and to "react," again, imaginatively anyway, to whatever difficulties, feelings, and outcomes the exercise brings into your mind and awareness, one "swaps places with," imaginatively and momentarily anyway, this other person. This exercise could come at the end of your regular meditation session as a sort of adjunct to your meditation routines each day. .

The benefits accrued, as a consequence of such an exercise, cannot be fully appreciated until they are experienced. To put the whole matter quite simply, such an exercise, when properly done in the right state of mind, has, as a direct effect, the phenomenal growth and increase of one's empathetic mind, where you are, at least momentarily, in the thoughts and feelings of others. Compassion becomes as natural to you as breathing. True spiritual expansion and growth can be the only result. How could it be otherwise? Here you have, for all practical purposes, "traded places with" another in every meaningful and experiential way.

What happens over time, as you continue to do and practice this exercise in spiritual and psychic expansion of awareness, is to develop in your own mind, as it were, a natural and automatic response to, and awareness of, the feelings, attitudes, and thoughts of others. In addition you have gained, and added to the spiritual armamentarium of your noumenal life, one of the greatest blessings and gifts that one could ever receive or be endowed with, what the Buddha called one of the two key components of the "Four Noble States of Mind,"...true compassion.[!gad]True psychic ability, that is a natural increase in what would appear to manifest as a meta-normal state for obtaining and knowing information outside of the conventional ways that information normally is acquired, only happens in a direct response to an increase in the spiritual level of one's consciousness.
