Spiritual Development V.S. Psychic Development
Psychic gifts are interesting, useful and
enticing... but, in and of themselves, they will never lead you to God.
They have their place in your growth, and can be a big step towards your
awakening. But the God realms are far beyond the psychic realms.
The psychic realms can become a trap. You may have heard
this statement at one time or another. What it means is that you can become so fascinated
with psychic phenomena that you forget the reason it exists in the first place. . .
. as evidence of the existence of other realms besides the ones we are familiar with.
It
can also be a way to help us to drop our attachment to the purely physical world.
It is wonderful to
realize that we are not the "meat machines" of our bodies; we are Soul, living in a physical
vehicle for the time being. Having a mystical experience can act as a catalyst for your
growth and opening. This is great and an appropriate use of the psychic realm.
However,
sometimes it becomes so interesting that we end up focusing on the phenomena rather
than the results. When you try to prolong your contact with these realms, it may
defeat the purpose of the experience. Trying to hang onto the experience will make you
susceptible to the trickery and deceit of the occult worlds. It is easier for many to
initiate contact with a psychic influence than it is to stop it once it becomes
frightening or something that you no longer want. Just ask someone who has messed around
with black magic and had it backfire . . .
I am not saying that all psychic things are dangerous or
bad. That would be like throwing the baby out with the bath water! For instance, it can be
quite useful and a moving experience do spiritual exercises designed to help you to become
aware of the presence of and the love that your Guardian Angel has for you. Of course,
there are many more examples. My point is, that when you place your focus on spiritual
development, rather than strictly psychic development, the "fruits of the
spirit" come with your growth, in a natural, unforced manner. You have a smaller
chance of getting wildly out of balance with your opening. The mystical or
"psychic" things that happen to you when your purpose is one of spiritual
development, happen in order to help you to open and unfold. Sometimes they happen to
shock you out of a rut!
It is like the ancient idea of the "thousand petaled lotus."
At first, your level of awareness is on the outermost layer of petals on the lotus; the
innermost ideas or petals, are covered or hidden from you. As you gain in your
understanding, these "petals" of your mind and experiences, open and you can see
the truth of the underlying ideas, in a natural, balanced way. Concepts make sense to you
because you have followed a logical path to your understanding and unfolding. Your
foundation has been laid carefully and you are building on it. For instance, if you are
exposed to the idea of reincarnation before you are ready to accept it, it may seem silly.
But, when you spend time unfolding in other ways, the concept becomes natural and easy to
understand. It makes sense. All things occur in their own time . . . you cannot force
understanding. Concepts that were once foreign to you seem natural and correct, when you
are ready to accept them.
If you give a child a musical instrument and then force them to
practice and insist that they play it, they will probably get very uncomfortable and may
throw it down in puzzlement or even disgust, at their first chance. It could turn them off
to playing an instrument for the rest of their life. But if you expose them to it
gradually, and encourage their interest in a balanced way, without pressure, they may well
develop a love for it.
The so called "Middle path" is a spiritual path of balance, a
slow steady opening that allows time to process your new understanding. It includes
exciting times of discovery and explosive growth, yes, but also the quiet times to reflect
on what you have learned. It is not a path that makes flashy promises. At first glance it
may seem like a slower path, but, it is steady. It includes the understanding that life
goes in cycles and that change is constant; for only with change do you experience growth.
It is also a path of self-responsibility. (And we know that self-responsibility has never
been a popular concept!)
The assurance of a true spiritual path is that when you look back at your life after a
year of truly dedicating yourself to it, you will see that your life has changed . . . for
the better. Spiritual growth is rarely comfortable. It is not just worthwhile, it is the
whole point of our existence! You feel satisfied when you have applied yourself and made
gains through your self-discipline and patience. When you focus on the purely psychic, it
is like eating empty calories; satisfying for the moment and not very good for you . . .
Spiritual awareness lasts!
