I've been thinking recently about psychics. The Course states, more
or less, that psychic abilities are natural communication abilities,
and that all joining is the joining of minds.

It seems to me that becoming comfortable with, if not necessarily
proficient at, what would usually be considered as psychic forms of
communication would be a useful gateway to miracles.

I'm wondering if it is possible to be comfortable with miraculous
expressions if one is, at the same time, fearful of psychic forms of
communication.

Many forms of religion teach that psychic communications are dangerous
and of the devil. Many other forms of modern thinking teach that
psychic communications are impossible and irrational. Perhaps it is a
concerted ego attempt to deflect attention form the genuinely
important.

Since a miracle is a psychic communication, I don't see how.

Found in the HLC but not (sub)Ur, there is this:

"The reason people are afraid of ESP and so often react against
it is because they KNOW that thoughts can hurt them. Their own
thoughts have made them vulnerable."

If you are afraid the power of thought, being a "a very
powerful receiving and sending channel" will lead to fear. And
yet that is what we are asked to be.

Gene " . . . . I was intrigued by the idea of changing the way people
thought by some kind of projection of images, which is part of why I
think that's what I'm here to do."

~ That makes sense to me, Gene. Do you think that some people are
better suited or more talented at extending influence or receiving
influence, and that's just the way it is. Or, do influencing and
being influenced go hand-in-hand in some measure of balance?

~ I'm thinking of the passage that goes sorta like: You have more to
learn than to teach for now, and then you will reach a balance between
the two.

I think they are different developments to some extent. At
least, I've very often seen evidence I was projecting thought,
but less often picking thought up. But perhaps there is a
balance which gets set in some other way.

Here's another nice quote:

"The miracle worker is one who accepts my kind of denial and
projection, unites his own inherent abilities to deny and
project with mine, and imposes them back on himself and others.
This establishes the total lack of threat anywhere. Together we
can then work."

When total strangers come up to you or write you to tell you
you've been in their dreams, that certainly looks to be true.

It's true too! I can smell those moldy pizza boxes from all the way over here!!

Oh, but your Special Specialness is right on time!!

And there's a surprise!! An ACIMhole still invested in early childhood delusions of Specialness
and Importance!! The childish arrogance is pathetic!

Those authors sure did know their target market!
