The Negative Ego and the Dangers of Lower Psychism

Another danger or glamour of the spiritual path is the issue of lower psychism. Many people are greatly intrigued by psychic powers. It must be understood that being psychic has absolutely nothing to do with being spiritual. This is hard for some Lightworkers to realize. Being psychic has nothing do with spiritual development. It has to do with the development of the abilities of the subconscious mind not the super-conscious mind.

It is hard to believe, but I remember one well known psychic I went to twenty years ago, who didn’t even believe in God, yet had all these great psychic abilities. Often those who have psychic gifts are very run by the subconscious mind because of their use of its gifts. This becomes a great blessing and great curse simultaneously. Very often to release themselves from this chronic victimization of the subconscious mind and astral body they actually have to let go of these abilities to learn to spiritualize their whole program.

There are a lot of Lightworkers I meet who would love to have these psychic abilities but they don’t realize they are much more developed spiritually than the people they are admiring. Lower psychism is one of the many great traps of the spiritual path. Most Lightworkers don’t realize that such spiritual senses as spiritual discernment, comprehension, healing, divine vision, intuition, idealism, beatitude, active service, realization, perfection, and all knowledge are much more advanced.

Lower psychism is an astral level ability. To stay stuck there as a psychic rather than become a spiritual teacher, is to stay stuck in the astral plane, which, in truth, doesn’t even exist for a realized ascended master. Lightworkers should be much more concerned with developing the senses of the Higher Mind, the buddhic senses, atmic senses, monadic senses and logoic senses, than being enamored with the idea of being astrally psychic.

There is nothing wrong with being astrally psychic. It is just that this ability must be integrated into an understanding of total Self-realization to be used appropriately. Being psychic in this way has nothing to do with one’s ability to achieve ascension and to complete the seven levels of initiation. A person who is psychically developed and psychologically and spiritually unclear is going to have completely inaccurate and contaminated information anyway.

I personally know a great many people who are incredibly psychically developed and who are also some of the most disturbed people I have ever met this lifetime. Do not get caught in the side road of fascination with this aspect of life for it will detour you from your true mission. I do not mean to denigrate people who are psychic for this is a wonderful ability, as long as it is used only in service of the purposes of the soul and monad in an integrated way and not as a glamour and trap of the negative ego keeping you stuck in the fascination of lower psychic development.
