What you put thought into is activated. Sometimes we/you are born with stuff activated, but if you do not put thought into those areas they atrophy and go away. Just like your muscles.

You don't use it, you loose it

Science seems to think that humankind in the future is going to have greater mental abilities, in some sense of the word "greater", because some or all of these areas of their minds are active/woke up !

Part of being a yogi is waking up these areas of the mind. And generally waking up these areas of the mind is considered, relative to what happens, realitive to what one has to deal with, is considered a nuisance. Psychic abilities realitive to waking up the mind is considered by all true yogis, a nuisance. It sidetracks you from your goal. Which actually is to escape this world, but at the same time waking up these abilities allow you to do that.

At the same time these gifts/abilities can be used to help others. For the most part this yogi stuff is really secret for reasons that we all pretty much know about. My problem is that knowledge gives everybody the opportunity to do what they want to do, and let God sort it out. I trust God, who or what ever God is

So anywho, "What you put thought into is activated!" Major physical trama is tricky. I am not sure how that works just yet. But other than that things are interesting (with the understanding that major trama is being worked on). "The Psychic" reality is the future mind. And these abilities can be woke up now, if one actually wants to deal with them.

The yoga key to growth is meditation.  The psychic key to growth is meditation.  There is no mystery as to why both tend to open at the same time.  There is probably a divergence in philosophy of either.  Being the best you can at whatever you strive to learn, is the key to your personal success.  Trust your own instincts as you go....these come from your heart.
