Quote by Anthon St. Maarten

“I have always disliked the term 'paranormal’ because it refers to anomalies — ‘abnormal’ phenomena not yet understood by science. It implies that psychic perception is something that exists ‘outside of what is considered normal'...This notion of ‘abnormality’ never sat well with me. I have spent too many years of my life being made to feel defective or ‘outside of normal,’ and I am no longer willing to consider my psychic abilities to be an ‘unfortunate anomaly.”

“Intuition is the unconscious processing of sensory information in one’s environment to come to a particular conclusion. Psychic ability, on the other hand, is the processing of extrasensory perception that doesn’t rely on primary sensory information about one’s environment.”

“In other words, intuition is based on perceivable external environmental information, whereas psychic ability is not. The two often work synchronistically together, and by becoming more in tune with your intuition, you will become a stronger psychic as you learn to listen to yourself and notice how you perceive information. I view intuition as the Middle Self processing information from the Lower Self, and psychic ability as the Middle Self processing information from the Higher Self.”

“Psychic ability is not about "seeing the unseen" — it is about perceiving what the soul already sees. It is the soul’s metaphysical cognition made known to the waking mind.”

“One of the biggest pitfalls I find when someone begins pursuing psychic development is that they try entirely too hard. I don’t mean that they’re putting too much effort into the development itself. What I mean is they tend to try to force the unfolding of psychic ability by pushing themselves too hard with the exercises, techniques, and meditations. Psychic ability replies on a mentally relaxed state of detachment.”

“A psychic development program cannot 'teach' or 'train' someone to become psychic. Instead, it can only strive to sharpen and refine the already existing talent or predisposition of someone born with psychic sensitivity by teaching the gifted person how to better utilize their innate gift.”

“I am not sure that being intuitive is the same thing as being psychic—maybe it is. I prefer to think of intuition as heightened awareness. And we’ve all got some degree of ability, like singing. It’s just that some people sing well and we want to hear more, and others we beg to stop!”
