Around this same time, I encountered some young persons who were going through similar patterns of personal vulnerability to what I experienced around the same age. This combination of events started me looking for this type of information. When I was unable to find it, I felt it was important enough to have that someone should do this. I am the sort of person for whom realization of a lack of information creates a sense of obligation to personally address that lack.
The most useful information I have found on this topic is either from the speculative fiction & fantasy genres, or from materials written for those practicing their faith in the earth religion traditions. In both circumstances, the materials assume a context or framework that may not apply to the individual seeking information. While the information IS there, if you look long enough and hard enough, it is often interspersed with a great deal of other information which may be simply part of a fictional story or may involve rituals or ceremonies beyond what is desired. Trying to sort out what is most helpful may be difficult.
What I wanted for my friends was something simple, something brief, something for beginners or unbelievers who just wanted to test the waters (metaphorically speaking). They had reservations about the entire topic, or more questions than answers, or both. They weren't sure that they (or their child) actually was psychic.
I am not a brilliant, talented, or particularly perceptive psychic. I know many people with far greater talent in this area than mine, and I don't envy them one jot. I do not consider myself particularly qualified to speak on this topic, and most of what I know here was learned the hard way, and believe me, I mean HARD. I am not a teacher here, but am simply someone else on the path, struggling to find my own way, sharing what has worked for me.
Don't ask me for any guidance or suggestions beyond what is on these pages. Frankly, I just don't know. My solutions may not work for you. You may be more or less psychic than I am, in which case my solutions will probably not work for you! If you want more information, to a large extent, you must find your own way, must explore through trial and error what does and does not work for you and those around you. For this, the fiction literature is often honestly the best source. Try reading some of the materials recommended at the end. Think. Feel. Don't act unless necessary. Error on the side of caution. Most of all, observe, question, test, explore.
