Some people are able to call upon more of their resources than most. Of course the ones that can't, don't understand them, and can't comprehend what is actually going on, and therefore, don't believe it. For example, I believe that people who are able to "see" things that others can't, people that are called "psychics", "witches", and a variety of other names, are actually just able to tune into their own natural abilities, and to use them. These special (I call them special, because I believe they are), have always been looked at by the general public in an unfavorable way, because of a select few that have taken advantage of their abilities for their own benefit and profit, and not for the benefit of all beings, as I believe it was intended. There are still those kinds out there now. They try and make a profit from it, where it isn't something that should be sold, it's something that should be taught, and shared in order for others to be able to use their own abilities, and not depend on others.
I have a certain amount of abilities that I'm able to use, but they are very limited, and I'm not able to tap into these resources by choice. I am trying to learn how, but I've learned that it's not something that you can read out of a book, it's something that is already there, you already know it, but you can't remember how to use it. It's something that you have to find within yourself, and allow it to come out. Most people that are able to realize their abilities are often afraid of them, usually because it's strange to them. As a society, we've always been taught that these people are evil, or "possessed by the Devil", when in all actuallity, it's just the opposite.
I have a friend, my best friend in fact, that has above average abilities, far beyond my own. We've been very, very close since we were both in school. She moved into our community when I was around 10 and she was around 15, and despite the huge age difference (huge at those ages anyway) we immediately became best friends. I have a lot more friends, and most of them, I see and talk to much more often than I talk to her, but she'll always be the one that I'm closest to. We've even gone for as long as two years without any contact, when I moved away from home for a while, but we both know that if we need one another, despite the situation, cost, or distance between us, the other will be there as quickly as possible. One of the main reasons that we are so close, or it could be because we are so close, is that it's almost as if we are on the same wave length, or radio signal or something. She automatically knows if something happens to me or someone that I'm very close to, and I'm the same with her.
