Are people naturally born with psychic abilities - i.e. mediumship, telepathy, clairvoyance... or are they learned traits?
I was just pondering on the fact that, on ghost walks, Jack Iain and Charlotte see stuff all the time, and when I ask them to point it out, I never 'see' it even though I know it's there. Is it because I have less experience, or because I am naturally less psychic than them? I'd like some thoughts.

I consider myself to be empathically dead except for the very occaisional feeling of "That shit ain't right..." I'm inclined to say it's something your born with pesonally. Some got the gift, some don't.

i would agree that your born with it but it is possible to learn. it has to be because even tho ur born with the ability u still have to train urself. therefore with enuf hardwork u shud be able to learn psychic abilities

I would like to hope so. I must have something there already because I can sense things when they're there, I just don't 'see' them per se.

I must have something there already because I can sense things when they're there, I just don't 'see' them per se. obviously not as simple as this but ive always thort of it as looking at things without your 2 eyes and then with practice u use the eyes to see it in the correct context... apologies will prob edit this wen i think of a diff way to word it

No I kind of get that.... and as Jack will probably tell you I ended up channelling last night, which was crazy as I wasn't even sure I believed in it. Don't know exactly how much I appropriately conveyed, but it was funny because the thing I was channelling kind of looked down on Jack and thought he was amusing. Then Jack started shouting at him and he started shouting at me and it all gets rather confusing. Not really sure whether I was 'channelling' as such, but in a way it doesn't really matter because it seemed so fucking real.

Hey, go you! It's cool when something finally happens like that when you start to lose faith in your own abilities. My Step-Mum and brother and sister are really really spiritually and psychically aware, and I used to get really jealous of it. I've become much more able to see it and feel it in recent years though which leads me to believe that it is something that can be learnt. I think I had to stop looking for it in order to be able to find it, if you know what I mean? Don't get me wrong, I'm still not as connected to everything as I would like, but I'm certainly getting there.
But again, yay you on the channeling!

I think you can learn it but those born with it will always have the edge providing they nurture it not squander it.

this is Charlotte, too lazy to sign in... I don't think experience is necessarily a big influence, I'm probs one of the least experienced there, but I always see stuff and get quite alot of feedback from whatever is there. However I knw that Iain had to learn it and hes better at channeling than me.... just give me time mwa haha!!
Iain - tbh I fully expect Charlotte to be much much better than me, bcus she is channeling with a natural aptness which she is now nurturing. as jack says it is an advantage

I see more the woodland type things - the fey, the wood elves, and less so the dead people.

I'm loathe to use the term "psychic" about anything, it's totally counter intuitive and just has very negative connotations. Everyone is born with this ability, fact. Activating it is a pretty diffcult alchemical process, but like everything just requires the focus of the will. As far as ghosts and shit, I don't believe in them at all. I think for people who are born without any desire for this ability, who never the less find it activated without any effort, it's not so much a case of seeing dead people as walking around with a massive "attach yourself to me" sign on them. If you're conciously trying to activate something then you're ready for the consequences and will take the neccesary steps to protect yourself. If you have no idea what the fuck is going on, you're an easy target. in summary, invoke often!

Out of interest - Has anybody ever attempted to use a psiwheel for development telekinesis? I haven't used a psiwheel but I have used a computer programme that measures micropsychokinesis. I failed said the probability was down to change I'm gonna use the dice-approach next time

The trouble is they are so sensative to heat, movement in the air, vibration on the surface of the thing you put it on, ideally they should come with a sort of bubble in which to put the thing while you use it, to try and cancel out some of the undesired influences.
