Theos-Talk Archives (December 1994 Message tl00138)

In Liesel's note of yesterday I found the following:

> To quote Eldon again "We are taught to shut down psychic

I wonder if Eldon or Liesel (or anybody else) could elaborate on
those statements.  Specifically, I wonder

     1. how one "shuts down" psychic experiences, and
     2. about the difference between psychic "seeing" and seeing with
        "the mind's eye"

Thanks for any help you can offer.
Best wishes,
William
