How Psychic are you???
The article which caught my eye this time was this one from the Highland News and North Star. (Yes, I know I have great reading tastes!)
However, the story, about two people who both admitted they had psychic abilities (notice, I’m not using the ‘P’ word here: ‘powers’), is most interesting to me because of what Joanne says of her early years.
Specifically, she says:
At eight she realised she was psychic, though she remembers before that being frightened to go to bed because people were speaking to her.
‘I�d ask them not to speak to me again.’
From palm readings, she moved on to train as a professional medium. As well as studying at the Stansted College of Psychic Studies in Stansted, London, Joanne trained as a hairdresser too.
‘My mum said as long as I had a career I could study my spiritual work.’
Now, isn’t that one of the most refreshing things you’ve ever read? Get a career behind you, so you’ve always something to fall back on.
How many times have we heard that one, from our teen years when we had hare-brained schemes to make a living from jelly sculpting or hot-air balloon pilot? What a great thing, though, to have the acceptance of your parents of such a strange choice of careers!
Now, admittedly, not everyone has had the pleasure(?) of hearing voices when young, but how many among you have had experiences when little of things which now, as an adult, you can’t really explain away without feeling guilty?
Too many times, for too many people, the innocent experiences of childhood are ignored or swept away as adulthood beckons. Would it be too much to ask that we all just spend some time thinking
That last part’s the hard one, isn’t it?
