Along the Way
psychicI stepped away from the church as a youngster. I had no idea of where I was headed but I knew the church wasn’t along my street. Briefly I tried Scientology but soon ran into disagreements and failures there. I’m not sure if auditing didn’t work on me or whether the practitioners weren’t skilled enough or whether maybe the excuse given to me after I left was correct, but failures of the techniques combined with failure to agree with the money-tree approach and I walked.
When I left the church as a teenager, I wasn’t aware I needed a path; I was reacting against, not walking towards… When I left Scientology I pretty much gave up on the spiritual idea. I got into a life of letting things happen. I had little in the way of personal morals but I don’t think I was a bad person, just lazy and cynical.
But over time, little things came to my attention. Some were things out in the world while others were internal to me or based around me. There were new insights into the world that didn’t fit in with a pragmatic solidly materialistic view of how things are. And I pretty much had to accept them – they were coming from Science.
There were events in my life I can only describe as psychic, strange things but not major things. I had dreams that came true, some coincidences that eventually became too much to remain in that category and a developing awareness that the physical could not explain all these things. And I pretty much had to accept them too – they were happening to me.
