533.0. "Are there classes?" by EVE::RUSHTON () Thu Oct 22 1987 19:39

    Are there classes that people go to on the type of things in
    this file.  Is being psychic a gift?  Could you have it and
    not be aware of it?
    
    If anyone knows of a good psychics will you list them for me?

533.1Yes, but you do the workSSDEVO::YOUNGERThere are no misteakesFri Oct 23 1987 13:388
    There are classes in some things - Tarot, astrology, and other 
    divination methods.  There are some body work classes that might
    help you deal with those types of energies.  There are classes in
    various religious traditions - Shamanism and Wicca.  The classes
    give you the mechanics - if you are going to do anything with it,
    you need to do it yourself.

    I haven't attended any classes on any of this subject matter, but
    I have learned VOLUMES (unintentional pun) from reading...I think
    Shirley MacLaines's books (especially Out On a Limb)...are great books 
    for someone who is interested in "psychic phenomena" and is just
    getting started learning about it...I think the first book was "Don't 
    Fall off the Mountain", then "Out on a Limb", then "Dancing in the
    Light", then "It's All in the Playing"...someone once suggested to me 
    that I read them in order.
    
    A personal comment, though...Ms. MacLaine seems to seek most of
    her guidance from external sources, i.e., psychics, where she might
    move faster if she simply meditated and got in touch with her own
    "inner self", rather than relying on others to tell her things.

    Doug,
    
    There is one more book right after "Don't Fall Off The Mountain"
    and that is "You Can Get There From Here".
    
    Just started reading book 2 this weekend.  Promises to be quite
    good - especially her McGovern campaign experience and her trip
    to China with a delegation of women.

    The Unicorn Bookstore has classes and lectures on a variety of topics
    that can be lumped under the heading of psychic phenomena.  I took a
    psychic development class from Avril Bell last October at the Unicorn.
    We have continued the class at her home and have had many interesting
    experiences as we all continue to develop psychically.
