I think what we call psychic abilities are like the elemental archetypes monks in ancient China assigned to plants used for medicinal purposes, to express patterns they could observe but not explain.

As a society we have gotten so used to hiding who we are and having prejudices against one another, true expression and trustful understanding is so discouraged, that effective, vivid, beautiful, and emotional connection and communication is equated to fantasy.

But to some, this is life. And this is a part of life worth preserving.

And it's not something I think we ought to over-explain, it's not something that has to be (or even should be) dissected as a science for risk of losing the flow. It's very basis and essence, after all, is to not replace feeling with more thinking.

Preserve the feeling. Preserve the mind, the heart, the gut and the hand and the dance it creates.
