It is strange to me that i will read certain posts and get such a feel for ppl. and sense there personality traits. sometimes they come through so strong and others i have to really focus on, and still can't get much to come through. we all have different abilities ( palmistry, tarot etc.), that we are good at. or just have always had a natural ability toward. some maybe good at more than one thing. others here may not think they have any special abilities, but chances are that if your drawn to this place and these kind of things. you probably just aren't aware of it yet.,  i believe that everyone in the world has these abilities. so i ask this, why are some so enlightened to receive then? while others are so closed minded? Does there closed mind stop the flow of receiving these ability's?

and why do some of us have to struggle so hard to learn things? when others have such a natural ability for it, if we are all truly born with these abilities? Is it that we are all in different stages of our spiritual growth?
I don't know, just something i think about now and again.

and why is it so hard to learn things that don't come naturally to us. I'm very good at reading ppl. and i come here to this forum most because it's easy for me to answer posts. but i have an interest in tarot and palmistry. i don't believe i have much natural ability in either. now, the tarot i have studied and practice so i have learned a lot. but it still is not easy for me. palmistry forget it. i know the lines and all the basics, I have read a bunch of books, but have no feelings that direct me while I'm trying to read a palm. and that is how i do everything in my life. i count on my intuition and gut feelings to guild me. so if you don't have those, is this something that can be learned?

I don't know if i should post this in the general topic forum or this one. but my intuition tells me it will be OK here (kidding). anyone want to give me their two-cents on this?

I'll give you five cents Blackcat, I think that you should go by your intuition and just relax it will all come to you, you can over step your mark by pushing yourself that is something you don't need to do, because you do have it but just don't see it yet.

thats not what I'm asking. this isn't about me. I'm wondering about others opines on these things.

Oh, Ok then.

Tarot, Numerology, Astrology, etc. are all tools of the sensitivities we have within.  They are used to focus energies through what have been found to be the 'right' answers for each one of the pieces.  It is like a puzzle coming together, they tell the story by their meanings.

Intuition, psychic, sensitivities are all part of being human.  Spirituality is our journey and it is an option with these sensitivities.  Each is a separate path and we  choose to make it our spirituality or not as we learn to unfold the techniques.

Each of us is born with the potential within to open to sensitivities (some say for psychic abilities we have a gland - the pineal) and like all talents, skills, abilities we are all stronger in some than others.  Just as some people are good organizers and others live their lives in chaos, we all choose to take what is strong in our talents and unfold them to our own best advantage in how we live our lives and they apply to it.

Potential is there, possibility is there, what we do with it is a measure of personal responsibility.  The strength will increase with use like a muscle in the body.

The first step is to Take Charge and examine the abilities of our own potential.  Then find a good source of information to study and a teacher to lead the way.  (Even a concert pianist had a teacher for the basics).
