If you are born psychic, do you ever realise or is that just how you are used to perceiving reality?
What is psychic? Is it the ability to pick up messages other people couldn't? Not necessarily decipherable, but more like for guidance? That's how I see it at least.
Would drugs help? Haha, just saying, as I'd imagine they enhance certain perceptions. Maybe if you cooked your brain well enough you'd get to the stage where you were noticing new aspects of your perception - and you either shut them out and cope with being insane, or put them in context and find comfort in a new window... if you can manage. Context does wonders for fears and confusion, fallacies, insecurities etc.
It's worth thinking about.
Discuss?

One of the main precepts of mysticism is that we are already all born powerful spiritual beings connected to others, a pantheistic force, and each other. For example, the goal of esoteric yoga ie real yoga is to connect to your atman or soul which is in tune with everything. From there would flow such things as psychic awareness, etc, because someone can sense the energies of others.
Drugs such as psychedelics can give a glimpse, but have their own risks too and people come down. Real spiritual practices such as yoga and meditation are needed to create a sustained or real awareness.
Ram Dass talks about this extensively in the cult classic “Be Here Now.” I recommend reading this.

Yeah I agree. I’ve made tons of them, and tried out various hippy things in the past. All things good and bad can be teachers.

I find mistakes can have benefits. An I'm a bad decision maker, which has given me wisdom through lunacy and especially retardation in the brain mostly. So yeah. I correct these faults and the syntax adapts. Wizardry of my own making...
I take medication to chill out tho.
