HOW TO EXPLAIN PSYCHIC CHILDREN
Posted by anthonynorth on July 27, 2008
Paranormal literature is full of cases of psychic children. A poltergeist is almost certain to have a child at the centre of activity, and visions of the Virgin Mary are famous for involving children.
Go back to the days of the Witchhunts and you often read of children being easiest to bewitch, and many accusations of witchcraft came from children ‘affected’ by the supposed witch’s spells.
Can a study of children be of value to research?
By looking at the mentality within the child, can we identify elements that show the optimum state of mind for a psychic event to occur? Perhaps it can.
The sceptic will obviously jump straight in, here, and advise us that children are merely more fantasy-prone. Their minds believe more in wonder, so they are more easily conned by a trick, or even an illusion.
This is quite true.
But simply because such factors can be identified, it does not mean the subject is closed. For instance, many children have ‘imaginary’ friends. Do we just leave the subject alone by saying, ‘oh well’?
Of course not. We attempt to discover why this is so. And the obvious question to ask is this: does the average childhood mentality allow the mind to access something that is more remote from the adult?
I’ve often pondered a central sceptic’s criticism of phenomena.
If paranormality was real, why don’t we experience it all the time? And I think an answer can come from an understanding of the human mind.
We are said to have evolved from nature. Yet what is often ignored is the possibility of psychological evolution running alongside the physical. If we were part of nature, then chances are our drives were instinctual.
This would not have required the ability to think as we do today.
However, just as we evolved physically due to technology, I think the same holds for the mind. In effect, by using technology, we were required to ‘concentrate’ on a task at hand.
This would be an ability above instinct. And in order to concentrate, we have to clear the mind of all unrelated factors. Could this have caused the creation of a distinct conscious and unconscious mind – the former to allow concentration on the world; the latter, a repository for memory not required at that moment?
Evolution is thus applied to the mind. And we can argue that instinct was retained in the unconscious, whilst increasing technology, and the information it produces, would expand the conscious and move the unconscious further away from conscious thought.
Such a mind model explains why the paranormal is not experienced as a norm. Residing in the unconscious, it is only accessed when outside information declines, allowing the unconscious to move closer to conscious thought.
But it also shows that the more outside information we deal with, the less psychic we become. Hence, education, work – adult activity in general – becomes inhibiting to paranormal phenomena – unless, of course, they are of a mystical bent, thus being able to cut off outside information through meditation, etc; or retain the sense of wonder of a child.

Not to mention having the sense of wonder beaten out of them. Adults have a low tolerance for things outside the norm and children fall into that category. There are very few that retain a sense of wonder as adults and even fewer who believe.
But you knew that already. 😉

Hi Brian,
This is so. And I think much of it is down to science, and its predominance of the material. This is not how science was meant to be.
Wonder and imagination initially fuelled science – think Newton. Modern science has lost this. Hence, so has society. It is constricted, compartmentalised and conformist.

This has my brain churning, as #2 had a nightmare at the same time I was awakened the other night by the raccoon. She was at my parents’ house at the time. The timing is so odd, I’m wondering if there really was a coon or something else sending me a message…
anthonynorth said
Hi Susan,
It’s a fascinating subject. Something similar from my own experience. One night my family had a whole cluster of strange experiences. I won’t go into them now, but they ended with Yvonne’s iron blowing up and nearly causing a fire.
A short time later, she phoned her mother to tell her about the strange ‘goings on’. It took ages for her mother to answer – she’d been frantically searching her house, ‘cos she had a strong smell of burning that wouldn’t go away.
Comedy Plus said
What Brian said was what I was thinking while reading this post. Adults are made to think a certain way and any other way is frowned upon. Kids on the other hand have the freedom to think any way they choose. Well, until they get older and then we start on them to see things our way. It’s a shame isn’t it? Have a great day Anthony. 🙂
Twilight said
I wonder if the growth of technology for children (video games and suchlike) will tend to dull somewhat that blank screen children used to have, and that any potential psychic ability in childhood might disappear in future years/
There was a lot of talk a year or two ago about Indigo Children -remember that? It was thought that we were going to see a whole generation of young psychic individuals coming forward, to help the world into enlightnement. I never was quite convinced about that though.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sandee,
It is a shame. As I hint in the post, we can access information from outside, or inside ourselves. Science, technology and modern life are all counter to the latter. And our ‘systems’ guarantee that we knock it out of our children as soon as possible.
Hi Twilight,
Yes, I’m convinced tech is making such abilities more and more difficult to achieve. Of course, if I’m anyway near right, it IS easily reversible with meditation, etc.
As for the Indigo Children, very unlikely – a mass information world is the worst possible environment for it.

Interesting article. Something I always found intriguing about children and their “paranormal” experiences are the ones concerning NDEs.
I’ve read many case studies that include a child’s NDE involving angels. The curious part is that the vast majority of children (while asked while they are awake and coherent) describe angels as having large wings, yet the children interviewed that saw angels during their NDE did NOT have wings. They usually describe the angels of being people, usually, made of light. They were seen differently then they thought they would. I’ve even seen before and after (a NDE), drawings children have done that showed the difference between angels they imagine and the ones they saw.
If these NDEs are merely a figment of their imagination, wouldn’t the children dream or visualize an angel the way they perceive them in while they’re conscious? Wouldn’t they imagine the angels with wings?
I personally believe more children experience the paranormal then adults do simply because they have not yet been tainted by society. The Afterlife, paranormal…. are considered taboo subjects by “society”. A child’s mind is more pure and untainted and so more apt to be able see what most can not (or are not supposed to see at all).
I’ve always found the studies done with children are among the most fascinating when dealing with the paranormal. They have less reason to try to “fool” people then adults. They don’t have the same agendas as adults can have. And although they do have active imaginations, many of their stories, experiences are later proved to be 100% correct.
One more quick note. I’m also fascinated by the ideas, studies of reincarnation. Some of the most interesting evidence I’ve seen presented in this area, children being able to speak languages they could NOT possibly have learned in the traditional way. Or children (usually prior to the age of 7), who remember being another person. Sometimes telling their parents that they remember having different parents before. Some with very, very detailed information regarding their past lives. Information that was later verified. Including names, dates, places, causes of death…. – all specific to the people they claim to have been.
I suggest if you’re interesting, investigate it for yourself. Their are many good books and case studies available.

Hi Anthony,
If you consider brain waves and consciousness it makes it easier for me to understand why young children would be more psychic. I have read that child’s brain waves up to age 5-6 function in a theta state and that they do not enter fully into an alpha (conscious) state until the age 10-12. This means that children are basically in a hypnagogic trance (the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep) the 1st 5 or 6 years of their lives and don’t become fully conscious until they are 10 or 12.
During this stage, since the mind is not “conscious”, the brain is simply downloading information and experiences without any conscious mind labeling or questioning these experiences as good or bad. Life just “is”. Without conscious checks and balances it should be no wonder that young children would be more psychic and easily influenced by any information and experiences they are “downloading”.
anthonynorth said
Hi Njguy,
Yes, cases of reincarnation involving children ARE fascinating. I did a study myself. You may be interested:
Hi Dan,
An important point, there, about brain waves. I’m amazed more research isn’t done on them by science. Well, no, I’m not amazed. I suppose I’d be more amazed in they did.
Linda G. said
Hi Anthony,
Good essay, as usual.
I’ve often wondered about the differences between childhood & adulthood. I think our emotions & senses are so, so much stonger as children/adolescents. Perhaps this where the psychic ability flows through.
Also many artists seem to retain a larger degree of childishness, which I believe spurs creativity.
As we age, the necessity of fitting into society requires control over ones emotions, which I believe serves to dampen our senses.
My goddaughter, when she was less than 5 years old, had a wonderful conversation with me about before she was born & was still in her mothers womb.
I used to have many “deja vu” moments & still do occasionally. I have also had experiences of an overwhelming need to call a loved one, only to find out something bad had just happened to them.
Best regards,
Linda G
anthonynorth said
Hi Linda,
Thanks for that. I think in many ways it is so important to try to retain the child in adulthood. Okay, he’s got to be moderated – you’ve got know when to put him away – but you’re right. Most creativity has that sense of wonder, of non-conformity, behind it. We lose so much in becoming totally adult.
riddlej said
The wonder in a child is precious and antithetical to adult maturity, but that doesn’t mean the paranormal is real. A child is not a reliable witness of what is real, as you can see from simple questioning about themselves or things you know to be objectively true. I have four little ones and as precious and creative as they are, and as beings whom I believe to have a spirit or soul, they don’t have imaginary friends or anything else like that… because we don’t expose them to TV or stories that have those storylines. They learn what they pick up, and if you don’t teach it to them, they will internally witness some spiritual phenomena and others they never will.
anthonynorth said
Hi Riddlej,
You raise an important point, here. If you read around my paranormal category, you’ll discover that I am convinced that the paranormal and culture are closely linked. Further, I think the paranormal is grounded in the mind – we just don’t yet understand how far reaching it is, or its role in creating our reality, and, as such, culture.
But regardless of this, does it make the paranormal any less fascinating?

Wow. I hope my kid turns out pyschic, and can read my wife’s mind for me. 😀

Iis Kusaeri said
Hi,
I think children are so selfis, as we were. They really want to be the best ever. Their most dangerous weapon: cry….
Bob G. said
Interesting.
I disagree.
You actually believe we loose this ability as adults. We don’t. In many cases it is not talked about, because of the pain we see.
My father explained to me it is a blessing and a curse all in one package.
If you want to recognize a person with seeing ability, look for the ones who always say “I know” in a conversation.
I have trained my children and few of their friends how to recognize deja vu. Is it merely a dream, or have they seen this event that is unfolding before their eyes in a dream.
The hardest thing was to find out why I have this. I knew of the past of my grand Mother, and how the village where she was a child actually embraced this ability. You all remember they buried people with out embalming. She would tell who was buried alive. When they would dig the people back up, I never heard if they got out any survivors, but there was evidence of their gruesome deaths, as they tried to claw through the coffins.
That was short history.
Long history.
I have researched to the best of my limited ability, to find out that the ancient tribe my people came from would seek out this ability and make them either the king, or queen. They also embraced the analytical and athletic abilities, in both men and women. This for warfare, and self preservation.
In the house I grew up in my father and I are the only 2 that had it. My oldest has it, my 2 youngest to a limited amount have it. My 2nd’s wife has it but she doesn’t talk much about it. Again painful events have shown the curse in this ability.
My oldest’s wife keeps telling us to stay out of her head.
The ones who do not have this ability, can not understand or even conceive one can do what we are able to do. Also mine is not the same as seen on TV.
“It is not technology that suppresses a child’s ability, but the constitution of the child to deal with the pain involved with having to burden such a gift and curse.”
I had guidance, most children don’t.
Bob
anthonynorth said
Hi Bob,
I suspect it is the culture of adulthood, as well and the information overload involved, that lessens any such abilities. If you raise children within an accepting culture, I’d say it could remain. The culture overpowers the wider outside influence.
Carol_Noble said
Childhood has always been a time when it is possible to explore all avenues of thought and idea without the responsibilities of ordinary adult life hanging over you. But it is also down to what we believe we know and what we don’t know. Imagination is more prevelant when dealing with something we don’t know.
I remember twenty years ago I went on a new technology seminar. I had used computers, unlike many there, so was not a newcomer to the subject. I remember one workshop which looked at how groups worked dependent upon their knowledge and practical experience of technology. Three groups were formed: one who knew nothing about using technology; one who had some experience; and one with people considered to be experts in the field of computers. They each had a task to come up with an idea for helping disabled people. The novices group had several interesting ideas which were also imaginative (not necessarily workable but worth considering); the second middle group came up with a form of database; the third group came up with nothing at all! This was because they said they knew all of the problems any ideas would bring and didn’t want to deal with them!!!
The point of this is that imagination is key to understanding strange concepts. When you have a lot of expertise about a subject you are also less likely to have any imagination regarding the subject. You have moved into a different mind zone.
Children are still very much blotting papers who can absorb many ideas and concepts and if there is form of “paranormal” around us then they are more likely to perceive and observe/interact with it, whilst those of us who are more “expert” in many fields will reject these ideas out of hand.
Yes, we should listen to children. They can often give us information we would never gain ourselves.
anthonynorth said
Hi Carol,
Intuitive as ever. I wonder if this is why the holistic mind-set is more likely to produce imaginative ideas rather than the specialised.
Food for thought.
ronburgandy said
Interesting blog. A lot of a childs education at young age is driven through past experiences, so as they are young and without such experience you could say that children are ‘blank canvases’. So saying that children are easily manipulated is a vaild statement, i dont agree with ‘witchcraft’ or any of that though.
red pill junkie said
Good essay & good comments as always from everyone. Makes me wonder how we could come up with an experiment to test the possible “psi” abilities of children, without falling into unethical practices of course.
Speaking of which, I’ve always been fascinated by this story Whitley Strieber describes, of harrowing experiments conducted on children in which he—allegedly—participated. He says they children were locked up inside claustrophobic boxes, to force them to enter into such a frantic state that would enable them to “shatter the illusion of space/time” and escape into another realm. Of course all this must be taken with a large grain of salt, but it’s evident that in most accounts of poltergeist phenomena, there’s always a child going through some very stressing stage.
I guess there’s a reason why you-know-who gave us the advise of “being like children” 😉
anthonynorth said
Hi Ronburgandy,
A valid comment. Although I’m not so sure that a child’s mind is a blank canvas – merely different to what becomes acceptable for an adult.
Hi Red,
I tend to agree with the ‘grain of salt’ explanation for this. As for testing psychic abilities of children, I’d have thought there was already plenty of evidence.
The problem isn’t the evidence or experiment – it is acceptance of a hypothesis in which to place it. As long as science refuses to deal with such ideas, they can safely ignore the evidence.
Bob G. said
Some times a simple explanation is all that it takes. Even though it may not be good reading.
From what I have experienced, I believe a child may suppressed it, the same way a rape victim does. To some, it may be just as devastating.
Good conversing with you.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for that. Don’t forget to call again.

2 levels of consciousness, one social and one personal. A social personality pretty necessarily entails shutting off parts of the personal consciousness (thus “relevance”). The model does dovetail nicely with human evolution occurring more rapidly than can be accounted for by ‘natural’ causes. …And I think one could make an argument that language is the DNA of society; i.e. personal consciousness is at the price of social and vice versa.
Merely a thought, mind, and a micro-portion of what I sometimes babble about. Nice blog entry, thank you for your intellectual time, so to speak.

Anthony, You might like to read this poem which I wrote in the 1970s and which I am finding is truer everyday.
Where is He to be found?
If you look He’ll be around.
In a tree, in a brook,
In a flower, in every nook.
Time has passed, it flies by
And we still keep asking WHY?
Should it be just this way,
Every night and every day?
When will we touch you
When wil we feel
That you are there
Oh so real?
But, He says, I am here NOW
You can find me and this is how.
See the world, watch it move
Time is sprinkling through the groove
A flower that blooms,
A bird that flies,
A river that babbles,
A wind that sighs.
These are ME, the Lord replies.
You can but see with childlike eyes!
anthonynorth said
Hi Glenn,
Thanks for that. And I think you’re about right – especially about language.
Hi Carol,
I like that. And in social evolutionary terms it also reminds me of the animist. Perhaps our first religions would be what we would now class as childlike.
Pixi said
I think even if we have had that sense of acceptance & wonder flogged out of us in the growing up process, it’s not that hard to get some of it back through defragging our cluttered minds by meditating or spending quiet time in nature. At least our generation seem to be a little more aware, or remembering. I feel we have a duty to protect our kids from convenient babysitters like electronic games, Prozac & junk foods, which all act as fairy repellents… let them be kids as long as possible. Retaining that sense of wonder is paramount to a complete human experience and the spirit world is far more entertaining anyway, being both super AND natural…
anthonynorth said
Hi Pixi,
Thanks for that, and I love your term, ‘fairy repellents’.
And yes, retaining a sense of wonder IS paramount. It was certainly felt by those who built the modern scientific paradigm, which is now trying to dispel it.
batguano101 said
Someone taught you “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”, the basis of your remarks.
When you were a child you were not restricted by such as that.
Clarity of observation, uncluttered by learned interpretation, might explain some of this category.
anthonynorth said
Hi Batguano101,
As I recall, Recapitulation Theory concerned development of an embryo through stages of different adult species.
I don’t really see how it applies here.
batguano101 said
That is exactly what you are stating in the article above: applying recapitulation to the mind.
“However, just as we evolved physically due to technology, I think the same holds for the mind”
“Yet what is often ignored is the possibility of psychological evolution running alongside the physical”
“Evolution is thus applied to the mind. And we can argue that instinct was retained in the unconscious”
You just restate it as recapitulation of mind processes rather than embryology.
batguano101 said
The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism, and often expressed as ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, was first put forward in 1866 by German zoologist Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel proposed that the embryonal development of an individual organism (its ontogeny) followed the same path as the evolutionary history of its species (its phylogeny).
batguano101 said
Although Haeckel’s specific form of recapitulation theory is now discredited among biologists, it did have a strong influence on social and educational theories of the late 19th century.
English philosopher Herbert Spencer was one of the most energetic promoters of evolutionary ideas to explain pretty well everything in sight; He compactly expressed the basis for a cultural recapitulation theory of education in the following claim:
If there be an order in which the human race has mastered its various kinds of knowledge, there will arise in every child an aptitude to acquire these kinds of knowledge in the same order…. Education is a repetition of civilization in little.
– Herbert Spencer
batguano101 said
The maturationist theory of G. Stanley Hall was based on the premise that growing children would recapitulate evolutionary stages of development as they grew up and that there was a one-to-one correspondence between childhood stages and evolutionary history, and that it was counterproductive to push a child ahead of its development stage. The whole notion fit nicely with other social Darwinist concepts, such as the idea that “primitive” societies needed guidance by more advanced societies, i.e. Europe and North America, which were considered by social Darwinists as the pinnacle of evolution.
batguano101 said
“Evolution is thus applied to the mind. And we can argue that instinct was retained in the unconscious, whilst increasing technology, and the information it produces, would expand the conscious and move the unconscious further away from conscious thought.”
anthonynorth said
Hi Batguano101,
Yes, if you apply recapitulation as all evolutionary processes I can see the connection, but I must admit I’d never seen my ideas as linked in that way.
Interesting food for thought, though. Thanks for that.

One of the “gifts” spoken of in the Bible is the gift of prophesy. This gift, as well as other gifts were many times passed down through a family line to the children. I have seen some of these “indigo children”, and it seems to me that this is what they have — a special gift — one of many different gifts that our Creator has given to His children for the purpose of encouraging and uplifting one another.
Sue Ann Edwards said
If I may share from experience…
there was a reason I supposedly ‘learned’ how to play the piano and was playing classical masterpieces in 6 months at the age of 9. And ‘learned’ how to dance on toe shoes in 4 months at the age of 11. And could instantaneously comprehend anything I saw, heard or read.
And have been able to see straight THROUGH people since I was born.
My conscious and sub-conscious levels are fused.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sue Ann,
Thanks for that input. Yes, if the conscious and unconscious are separated in the way I argue, a coming together, or ‘fusing’, would arguably increase intuition.
The talents you spoke of are arts, and intuition is vital to such practices.
batguano101 said
Sonoranlane
Although I outlined the background to the line of thought academically I have to agree with your allusion to the gifts of the spirit outlined in the Bible.
Biology and medicine in no way decreases recognition of God Almighty creator of us all, giver of gifts according to His purpose.
Science is quickly reaching that conclusion also.
Sue Ann Edwards said
Hi Anthony!
Basically, I am/have been just as adept when it comes to the math & sciences, as all of the arts. My 1st degree was in Engineering. I simply ‘see’ things in my mind’s eye. Like now, I keep ‘seeing’ a structure of magnetic field arrangements…so I’m tinkering with it.
I was tested when younger and the results were that both hemispheres of my brain were equally dominant and active. The only way I could stay stable, was to learn how to use both half’s in unison. Five decades ago, there weren’t too many of us but now, I suspect, there are many of us being born all over our world. This would be the ‘violet’ and ‘indigos’ and ‘crystals’.
If I could say anything that would help all of us, it would be to try not to invent so many new categories, like ‘indigo’, etc. It simply results in feelings of alienation and isolation from Society. And when that happens, we either explode or implode.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sue Ann,
I must confess to being sceptical of the ‘Indigo Children’, etc, but certainly there have always been such intuitives, I think.
As such I agree with you concerning ‘categories’.
sonoranlane said
Sue Ann, I have a son (23 years old) I would describe as dominant in both hemispheres. I think it is really difficult for him, as he tries to accomplish a task both artistically and analytically perfect. I would be interested in how you learned to use both halfs in unison. What do you mean by this?
Sue Ann Edwards said
Anthony, I mean no disrespect when I say that we can’t expect to understand the outside of a box, from within the box!
Many of those of us who are being called “indigo”, etc., are ego-ed out, trying to be “super-human” or wallowing in “specialness”, which is arrogance, which in turn is dis-associative. But they are young and will learn.
Sonoralane, it is quite simple but not easy by any means. Your son is conflicted and at war with himself. And the cause is…he’s trying to live according to limited ideas. The more he does, the more internal stress he’s creating for himself,resulting in experiences of frustration, exasperation, disappointment and depression.
You might share with him that “analysis” is a different thought process then “synthesis”. The difference between the two, is one is a conflicted process; the other integrating. He’s been born with the capacity of Unity Awareness but he’s trying to get there through duality and polarity. And it won’t work.
The idea that is the seed of his conflict, is the idea of “perfection”. At it’s root is a FEAR of “imperfect”. He is making Judgments, instead of realizing choices. I suspect he’s been taught ideas that represent lacks in substance of character, just like we all have. Taught that self denial or withholding loving attitudes of compassion and understanding unless certain conditions are met.
Share with him that whatever emotions he experiences are HIS. A result of what ideas he’s entertaining in his head. Our thoughts create brain chemicals called “peptides”. When these peptides flood our physical systems, we call it “feeling”. Teach him that his feelings are his own and so are everyone else’s. Be especially vigilant no guilt trips are EVER used on him, for what anyone ELSE feels, for they are adding to his difficulties. And he will eventually rebel and then have to deal with resentments towards those he loves dearly.
Teach him how to be Self Nurturing in regards to what he thinks and feels about himself. To not limit the capacity within his character, to ONLY accepting what others have taught him to be “acceptable”. For his potential will flower as he tries to expand his capacity to embrace his own Humanity, BOTH the “good” AND the “bad” within himself. Genuine Humility is knowing that whatever “darkness” another expresses, is within him, too.
A “perfect human” is an oxymoron. Tell him to trash the very idea. For being human is about making mistakes and it is in embracing these mistakes, with Compassion, Understanding and Forgiveness, that will bring out the potential within him. Tell him to be “one with all that is”, means being able to embrace “All That Is”. And “all that is” IS ALL THAT IS. It includes both “good” and “bad”, “negative” as well as, “positive”.
Tell him that every moment of Life is a Present, a Gift, whether spent happy or sad and to embrace it, whatever it is, in Gratitude and Appreciation. Tell him to prove how much he loves life by having the Courage to LIVE IT!
Sue Ann Edwards said
p.s. Tell him to climb back into his EVER Loving Mind,rather then living outside of it. (smiling)

Great subject!
anthonynorth said
Hi Enna,
Indeed. Thanks for that.
Carol_Noble said
Sue Ann
Much of what you say in your last posting applies to most people. This is what makes us all human. Instead, we have become very logical, and lacking in feeling, until it all builds up and become frustration/anger. I will certainly take a great deal of note of what you say.
My grandmother had what people called “the sight”, and there have been times when I intuitively seem to know what is going to happen, and can see patterns of behaviour and event procession. This has been a curse as well as a blessing, but I no longer have one hemisphere or the other dominating. Astrologically I have always had opposing planetary aspects, making it harder for me to know which way I should be. I also have tried to “conform” to society so much that I don’t know who I am sometimes, or what I expect out of life. By subsuming myself I have lost a great deal of emotion and become more of a zombie. It is only when I relax away from society that I find myself beginning to “link” with nature, and become telepathically attuned to my husband’s thoughts.
I’ll admit, I have desired to conform most of my life, but have found it impossible as I was what I term “the living hope” at the end of WWII. My mother was born in Germany, my father in England, and I was born in England too. I have listened for years to the propaganda, and had to put up with racist remarks, and even legal banning of jobs because one of my parents was not born in the UK. Yet, I am only allowed to be a British subject.
This splitting of emotional loyalty, and emotional bullying, has made it difficult for me to know and be my true self. I don’t say I am a particularly nice person but there are times when I seem to see what others can’t. My brain isn’t fused, it is totally divided, more than most. I am trying to find a way of linking positive emotional vibes with practical actions. It is slow, and already most of my life is over, but I will keep trying to the end.
Even for someone like me Sue Ann the answer you gave may yet be the right way to go, and be of help. For this I thank you.

Hi Inverto,
Thanks for sharing those fascinating experiences.
