Psychic Development Tip #38 – Thought ‘Layers’

Recently I was asked a question about the invasiveness of telepathy.  That prompted me to create this psychic development tip.  It may very well be the most important tip I’ve ever given.

As mankind’s evolution continues, we are all becoming progressively more telepathic, so this tip really is for everyone, not just psychics.  For anyone who is already using psychic skills, or is learning to develop and use them with full awareness, this tip should be one of your Golden Rules.

It’s important to understand first that thought is vibration, and that vibration goes through three major transitions before it is projected out into the world, usually in the form of verbal communication or physical action.

You are probably aware of that first stirring of thought, when an idea begins to ‘bubble up’ from your unconscious.  You are aware of it as it formulates itself, but you haven’t said it to yourself yet.  This is the deepest level of conscious thought.  Thoughts at this level may come from your subconscious, they may come from your Guides, even your Higher Self.  These thoughts are fully protected from all but trained psychics as they have not yet come to your own full conscious awareness.  I call these ‘deep thoughts’.

The second level of thought is when your conscious, aware mind tells you the thought.  Essentially, your own mind verbalizes the thought or idea to you.  Now you are fully aware of it.  This level of thought can be read by any telepath who is skilled and lacking in manners.  Obviously, that includes psychic readers; but don’t forget that many people are now evolving this ability on their own.  Also, your family members and people you spend a lot of time with can readily read thoughts at this level, if they are trying to ‘figure you out’.  These people, untrained, can often be what I call ‘psychically invasive’.  Thoughts at this level are your ‘personal thoughts’.

The third level of thought occurs when you are getting ready to either act on the thought, or verbalize it.  You might say, “It’s on the tip of your tongue”.  Thoughts at this level are available for anyone to read.  This is why so many people finish each other’s sentences, or why someone interrupt you because they’ve already got what you were going to say.  At the store, someone might reach for the item you were about to pick up just before you do. These are ‘surface thought’s’.  You are unconsciously projecting them, because you are getting ready to act on them, so they are easy to read.

So now that you’ve got the basic understanding of how thoughts go through this process, it’s time to take responsibility for how you are going to handle your own telepathic ability when reading the thoughts of another.  You see as your psychic skills continue to develop your telepathic ability will blossom to where you are reading people’s thoughts on all of these levels, even the deepest, since when someone comes to you for a reading, they are essentially ‘inviting you in’ to their deepest selves.

Values and ethics come into play here, and you will have to develop your own as this is a highly individualized thing.  It’s a good idea to start with a “would I like it if someone did this to me” point of view.

For myself – I am always aware of my own surface thoughts, since as we develop as psychics our powers of thought projection increase – and I don’t necessarily like someone grabbing that item I wanted before I could reach for it. (For real.  That used to happen to me all the time before I understood to keep my surface thoughts to myself until I was actually ready to speak or act).  I’ve also had to train myself to not finish other people’s sentences or cut off their train of thought before they’ve had a chance to share it.  Frankly, other people will see those things as your being rude, and you won’t have many friends.  I’ve also learned to allow people to tell me who they are, and how they want me to see them, instead of doing that terribly psychically invasive thing that involves digging into their personal thoughts.  Yes, I was that psychically invasive person myself, just as you may be.  That’s a danger we all face as we are developing our telepathy skills.  Lastly, unless someone actually asks me to read them, I never, ever pry into those deep thoughts.  Even then, I let my Guides lead me to anything that’s important for my clients to know or talk about….I never push through to areas that aren’t my business.
