Protecting My Love of PSI/PSYCHISM

A beautiful Sunday on the 4th of July weekend! I spent the past hour outside, journaling, self-intuiting, and this practice brought me even deeper into the LOVE I have for PSI.

I can't think of one god damn thing that I like more than PSYCHISM. Nothing! Ever since I was a little boy...I loved all things Psychic. PSI from the lens of the Human Potential...the capacity for humans to retrieve/receive information outside of the physical senses. No prior knowledge given. Just the Psychic Art Mind doing its thing!
It has been quite a journey navigating this world, establishing my practice, doing the work, and traversing the terrain which declares PSI as impossible...along with the grotesque presentation of PSI through many "content creators" which just make the true Craft of PSYCHISM seem like Ms. Cleo.
And you know what? I don't care! I used to beat myself up all the time for being so triggered, angry, frustrated, annoyed, disgusted with the modern-day-psychic-world. I would shame myself. I would be left in a cesspool of self-annihalation for being so vocal and upset regarding what has come to the one thing in Life I love the most (other than my partner)!
Skeptics? Or should I say Unhealthy Cynics? They don't bother me as much as the pre-school presentation of PSI on the internet and social media. But! However! I've been a target for the ignorant, bastards who came to a party where I read. They were impossible. They were also incredibly rude, awful people. I remember their stares at me. I remember their intentions to attack me. It was a NIGHTMARE.
I see Higher Mind's plan all along. I needed to really expose myself to the many layers of this world housed within the Psyche of people. I needed to experience and to discover the...bullshit of this world surrounding that which I love the most...PSI.
Since 2018, Higher Mind encouraged me throughout all the low-days, blood, sweat, and tears which my practice and my work brought me to. I needed to be Raw with myself and to see the wiring of unhealed wounds tormenting my subconscious and how that translated into my conscious thought-emotion-action loops.
I needed to see what really is the Psychic Industry.
I would say to myself..."Jake, you can't be bothered so much by the XYZ." Now I see that my bothered-ness has roots in my LOVE for PSYCHISM.
A Healthy Anger! An innate drive to Protect what I love!
The years since starting my practice were also about constructing a healthy self-esteem and healthy boundaries. Thankfully, I don't have the unhealthy cynics or severe skeptics scheduling a reading with me. But! If I were to ever be in the energy field of one of these assholes then I know what to do. Terminate the reading. Refund the person. It is not worth my time and I can't convince anyone of anything especially when their mind is so deeply nestled in the...mind control of this world. Control information, Control perception. Right? Right.
Charmed was my favorite show growing up. I own all the DVDs the day they were released. I'd watch reruns on TNT all of the time. I can recall watching the series final when it aired.
Phoebe's premonitions are so well done regarding the reality of PSI. How her premonitions grew over time. How she began dipping into the past in the episode when she receives a timeless vision, no Time Stamp, but discerned that it was the past due to the clothing and landscape within the vision.
I was hooked from the moment I saw Charmed. Then when my mother died...I was hooked even more since the sisters lost their mother at an early age. Charmed was what I used to help me in the grieving process.
PSI. PSYCHISM. Now Charmed (along with X-Men) is an excellent symbol for my Love of PSI.
Premonition is one of the most valued powers in the Charmed Universe. Phoebe took her time to accept her power without feeling less-than compared to her sisters. Now...Charmed does fall off in quality towards the later seasons due to budget cuts, changing of the show-runners, and what not.
But! Premonitions in Charmed were about INFORMATION. The PSI Mechanics are very accurrate. The portrayal of PSI within Charmed is close to my heart and my own skills reflected the trueness of premonitions in Charmed.
No idocracy. No stupidity. No lackluster, lame presentation. Just MAGIC.
The last few months were really about me remembering why I do my work, have my practice, and choose to share my skills with others. To see why I get so angry at the bullshit presented in our modern-day world of the internet and social media.
To Protect what I love and I love PSYCHISM!
