	Bee, your idea expressed above  is exactly what keeps bothering
me and the TS view of psychism.  It is the TS's duty to warn us.  OK, you were
duly warned.  This is no reason to "ignore" those psychic abilities that come
naturally as a result of your work.  If you fall into the trap of neglecting
your "spiritual pursuits" than this is your karma, and so be it.  This can only
happen if you ignore the warning.  But given the warning, and making sure
that you keep up your "spiritual pursuits" whats the problem?
