21. Mind Over Matter - Part II

Finely-tuned Frequencies

It's exciting to know we might one day develop telepathy and clairvoyance and other untold “psychic” powers, now only semi-formed in our consciousness; but we cannot hope to build these abilities if we ignore the powers and endowments we already possess. For instance, we have the ability to tune ourselves in to someone else's frequency and then to regulate that person's energy field, re-establishing a more rhythmic brain wave pattern (or disrupting that pattern). We might also describe this power as an “energy-regulation response”, turned on by benevolent will, or, as my old Webster's dictionary describes that same ability, “the power to enter into the feeling or spirit of others” (italics added).

But we tend to narrow all descriptions down to single words then either take our words and our powers for granted, fail to express them (give them form or reality) or use them miserly. In this case, the word is “empathy”.
