Is it possible to raise your gift to a higher level? Can this be achieved by reading psychic books or by experimenting with your own awareness of the subject.Ive known People who can see what Kind of day there going to have by looking through the headlines of there local paper,they read the first part of the paper but. what I can't figure out is how can you judge your day first
by reading only parts of it .Is it more like reading into it and creating your own day. Love a reply On the matter for future references.Thanks fishsmart

Yes you certainly can raise your abilities, and books will help somewhat. Especially books like "The Complete Book of Psychic Arts", Morwyn,Llewellyn Publications, 1999, ISBN 1-5678-236-4, to mention just one of many available.  

The best thing to do to raise your abilities however, is to meditate frequently and regularly, making sure to ground and center yourself.  Practicing exercises, especially in a group setting, even on the internet, is extremely helpful.  Practicing Breathworking, or Breath Exercises is also very helpful, especially at first, but always.  Taking classes is always a great idea too. But what I tell my students is: Meditate, Meditate, Meditate!!!  

Another wonderful way to catapult your psychic abilities is by having an "energy transmission" sometimes called an "attunement" from a Master to a Student, into one of the Healing Modalities, such as [my favorite, I'm biased here] Reiki, or by studying the Martial Arts such as Chi Gung, Tai Chi, which is the roots of such modalities.

As for Stichomancy, which is what you were talking about in your previous post, reading the paper, a book, a poem, an article, whatever, you have it partially right, mostly right. Thoughts are not just energy, they really do create your reality. The printed word is extremely powerful because it is a one dimensional manifestation of a thought. So you can program yourself that way for your day to turn out a certain way. Some people use Bibliomancy, which is the same thing using a Bible or other Sacred Text.  I do this sometimes when in need of guidance.

If you believe in Angels, there are certain angels and Ascended Masters you can call upon to assist you in your development...actually, that tickles them pink because they can't interfere or violate your free will and must wait for you to ask either consciously, or unconsciously.

However, it is, for those who have that ability and/or training in Stichomancy, possible to use the intuition to "see through" the words and use them as a focus point to enter a state of consciousness wherein you can predict, not only the day, but future world events. I do this sometimes, but not on purpose, it just sortof happens for me.

I hope I have answered your question.
If I can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

You definitely can increase your awareness by utilizing books and other items. But I think in the case of your friends reading the newspaper it is more as you say "creating their day".   They are putting the intention out there "Oh this is going to be a great day" and it turns out to be a great day or the opposite depending on what mantra they decide to uniform with on that particular day.

As always this is my opinion about this question.
