IzzyBell Posted April 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I am not particularly gifted and psychically and have never been able to do any of the things that many people have. But, lately, I've been having a hard time and I think I need some discernment. What do you suggest for a complete newbie to do to develop their insight? Is it even possible for someone like me? Any help or guidance is appreciated. Best, IzzyBell Edited April 8, 2018 by IzzyBell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Not A Rockstar Posted April 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2018 What interests you? What is your personal belief structure? What do you really want to do or gain? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted April 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If you want to develop your insight, spend a lot of hours on puzzles and problem solving task. As insight is our ability to quickly solve problems at an almost intuitive level. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you really want to do or gain? I guess what interests me is being more spiritually connected and better able to listen to myself and guide myself toward good decisions. This is also what I'd want to gain. I have no expectations of being able to see spirits or becoming a famous TV psychic or anything like that. I'm Episcopalian by religious "training" but fairly open to anything. I believe in God, in an afterlife, that people do have souls and there is a spirit world, and in good and evil. The rest is open ended to me. Edited April 8, 2018 by IzzyBell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is open ended to me. This is why I asked, because it is easier to work with the basic structures of belief built through our younger years. If yours is Episcopalian, that is a good starting point. In 1Corinthians 12 it talks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What you are describing is Wisdom. Asking God to help you develop that in prayer would be the way to go to achieve that. If you are like me, you know ahead of time an idea is not the best of plans but sometimes go right ahead and do it and when it blows up, feel annoyed. So, the wisdom is there, we just either do not listen enough or else need the self discipline to say no up front 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted April 9, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Ask yourself questions. Answer yourself honestly. Find your fear....and remove it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Lowell Posted April 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hi, I also think doing some form of meditation would be helpful. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyBell Posted April 9, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted April 9, 2018 For those of you who asked, I have meditated before but not super consistently. I can try to do so.....yes, fear is a big thing with me. I don't know how to remove it yet, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within reason and sanity of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to learn how to deal with various fears, not eliminate them. They can not be removed from any human. I suggest doing a medittation where you imagine a conversation with your inner wisdom. That wisdom being the highest divine aspect of your self. Most find that there higher spirit self is best for that effort. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no different than literally asking yourself a question then waiting for the subconscious to answer. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted April 11, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2018 To clarify what I meant by my above post. https://www.burrisconnect.com/workbook/37/2/empowering-questions-instruction-set If anyone has ever wracked their brain trying to remember the name of the actor/ess who played their favorite movie character, then a few moments (or more) later have the answer. Then you know what I'm talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people give credit to the divine when it was their subconscious that worked things out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'spirit' is just a tool. A means of impressing some idea into our subconscious. It's just us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
