[...] I commented aloud to Jane about how I thought that I had been using my psychic abilities in my paintings, quite consciously and deliberately as a most welcome aid.

(Humorously.) My telepathic abilities must not be operating well this evening, for I took it for granted that this is what you meant by your question; knowing what I did of your use of the psychic knowledge in your present works.

It is an example of the way in which his abilities came to his aid, giving him inner assurances when they were most needed. [...]

[...] He has in his mind seen himself not as a woman who had certain symptoms, along with many excellent good points and abilities, but he has identified himself primarily at times with the symptoms alone. [...]

[...] He comes through as an extremely attractive, highly intelligent young woman, with strong psychic and creative abilities, unusual insight into the problems of others—as a writer, a psychic, and as “the mistress” of a delightful establishment.

[...] He also on his own speaks loudly in class, and automatically accepts his own composure, status as teacher, and his abilities, without question.

3. It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities, and by so doing I also enrich all other portions of life.

The inborn leanings and attitudes that we have been discussing should ideally (underlined) remain with you for the rest of your life, leading you to express your abilities, and finding fulfillment as your knowledge expands through experience. [...]

When that challenge was met he used his will and mobilized all of his power to fulfill his abilities, and to bring about conditions in which he hoped Joseph could also fulfill his. [...]

He wanted to write, to use his creative and psychic abilities to the fullest, and so he cut down all distractions. [...]

[...] Because of his abilities he picked up your feelings all too clearly, but because of his fears he picked up your negative feelings. [...]

He interpreted what you said at times to mean “You are ungrateful for my sacrifice,” but he did not think the sacrifice in those terms was necessary after the first years, and that such sacrifice could destroy your ability, your fine purpose.

(Last night we went for a walk: Jane said she was disappointed in my reaction to her ability to walk a little better, and so was worse when she went to bed. [...]

(My thinking at this time is that when we allow ourselves expression freely—painful as it may be at times—and live in ways that are in keeping with our natures and abilities, we will achieve that necessary and vital balance that automatically results in creative work, health, whatever material success we require, etc.

The creative abilities have full reign within the dream state, and it is here that the personality first tests its creative intensities and methods. [...]

This requires on the ego’s part an excellent ability to perceive correctly the elements of the physical situation, to express it in terms that the subconscious can understand, and to deliver the message properly. [...]

[...] An ego that is overly rigid will inhibit the intellect from perceiving various portions of physical reality, and therefore distort the appearance of reality, limiting the intellect’s abilities.

The very act of dealing with him kindly utilizes your own abilities in many ways, stretches the limitations of your sympathy and understanding, and of your patience, yes; but in so doing you become stronger and better able to deal with your fellow human beings in general, with benefits to all.

[...] He cannot turn himself or his abilities off … His activities would be strong in whatever level of activity he focused his energy, exaggerated in terms of others by comparison. [...]

(Yet, somewhat ironically, Jane’s inherent abilities first began to show themselves, even if on unrealized or “unconscious” levels, within the very disciplined structure of Catholicism. [...]

(Even so, through her school years Jane didn’t particularly talk about her thoughts, or the abilities she sensed within herself — not with her mother, the priests she came to know well [and who didn’t approve in any case if she carried her religious devotion, her mysticism, “too far”], or even with her grandfather. [...]

[...] It was indeed a healing one, when he was dealing with the plasticity of events, and bringing those he wanted into better focus, by consciously drawing upon his own larger creative abilities. [...]

[...] The statements of the Sinful Self show him clearly the reasons why he was afraid of pursuing the unknown, and afraid therefore of using his own natural abilities freely and safely. [...]

The experience is hopeful though and taken along with my recent dreams seems to indicate that my psychic abilities are warming up again at least....

(I’d instantly understood the import of what she was saying—that here her body had within itself all the time that fantastic ability to move. [...] But I found it ironic indeed that that capacity was there, while on conscious levels we were trying to move an inch at a time, when we could do so by leaps and bounds as far as the body’s abilities and willingness were concerned. [...]

[...] You will insist that you learn to use your own abilities. [...]

[...] No one can develop your own abilities but you. [...]

[...] And each species has its own overall characteristics and propensities that further help it define the sphere of influence in which it will exert its ability to make choices.

Each person, for example, is born with his or her uniquely individual set of characteristics and abilities, likes and dislikes. [...]

[...] You are here to develop abilities. [...]

You will have no doubt noticed that these inner senses all represent actual inner abilities. I am rather surprised that Ruburt hit upon this one at this time, as it is usually a rather difficult ability to attain. [...]

[...] From her description of it I thought she might have been exploring an ability related to the inner senses. [...]

I am rather surprised that Ruburt hit upon this one at this time, as it is usually a rather difficult ability to attain…. [...]

They will begin to follow a road of denial and repression, and grow more and more afraid of expressing their own talents or abilities. [...]

[...] The strange thing is, I enjoyed both the feeling of lying just above my physical body, and my ability to use the latter to produce sound. [...]

[...] I knew all the while that much more was possible than I was able to accomplish — that just beyond my abilities of the moment lay wonderful possibilities if I could just break that… barrier. [...]

(The experience gave rise to a couple of questions which I added to the list for Chapter Twenty: 1. My own projection was so enjoyable, but more importantly contained so many potentials, that I wonder why Western man isn’t more aware of these abilities. [...]

[...] Each entity who is born in flesh works toward the development of those abilities that can be best nurtured and fulfilled within the physical environment. [...]

[...] As you are given many lives in which to develop and fulfill your abilities, so has the species in those terms been allotted more than the single line of historical development with which you are presently acquainted. [...]

[...] In some, you see, the built-in controls caused so many blockages of energy in all directions that even their naturally high telepathic abilities suffered.
