	A psychic, or one who is psychic, has, in this or previous embodiments, developed faculties of sensitivity or extrasensory perception not generally accessed by mankind.

[From Greek psyche, “soul”] One who has developed his soul, or solar, faculties for heightened awareness of the physical, astral, mental, and sometimes the etheric belts of earth and her evolutions.

A psychic, or one who is psychic, has, in this or previous embodiments, developed faculties of sensitivity or extrasensory perception not generally accessed by mankind. This may include altered states above or below the normal threshold of awareness and the tapping of the computer of the subconscious or the superconscious mind. Although some use these faculties constructively with a respectable degree of accuracy, in many cases the information as well as the discrimination thereof is unreliable.

The term “psychic” has come to be used synonymously with the term “astral” in its negative context and pertains to the penetration and manipulation of energy at the level of the [[astral plane]]. According to the [[ascended master]]s, one who has involved his energies in the psychic, psychicism, or psychic phenomena is functioning on the lower astral plane.

== Psychic activities ==

The things that fall into the category of the psychic include dealing with spirits and [[spiritualism]]; [[automatic writing]]; involvement with [[UFOs]]; and methods of divination such as “worldly” [[astrology]], tarot, the [[pendulum]] and Ouija boards.

[[Lord Maitreya]] explains that involvement in the psychic is always a detour from the path of spiritual attainment:

<blockquote>The veil within the human temple must be rent in twain. The veil of illusion must part, and by initiation Reality will shine forth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Beware, however, of the penalty for engaging in automatic writing, in psychic activity and in all of those things that are contrary to ascended master law. Take heed that you understand that there is no need for man to do these things that tie in to the psychic world. The Ouija board and many of these other activities bring mankind downward. I tell you, there are few upon the planet who understand how to operate the cards of the tarot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>You ought to understand, then, that the safest and best journey [course] for the elect is under the direction of the ascended masters.

Lord Maitreya gave further teaching on these activities in a letter of July 1, 1986:
