Having no "special abilities" or innate, supernatural gifts is the standard human experience.

Having no "special abilities" or innate, supernatural gifts is the standard human experience. Research indicates that the concept of innate talent is often a myth; instead, expertise and skill are primarily the result of deliberate practice, effort, and environmental factors rather than fixed, natural predispositions. Having extraordinary abilities often seen as something special, however this is probably the most dangerous life road you can take or mistake you can make. Society uses people who express such things as … testing rats for psychiatric experiments. Why on Earth anyone would want to be used?

“Extrasensory perception (ESP), also known as a sixth sense, or cryptaesthesia, is a claimed paranormal ability pertaining to reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses, but sensed with the mind. The term was adopted by Duke University botanist J. B. Rhine to denote psychicabilities such as telepathy, psychometry, clairvoyance and their trans-temporal operation as precognition  or retrocognition.  Second sight and ESP are classified as pseudosciences. In the 1960s, parapsychologists became increasingly interested in the cognitive components of ESP, the subjective experience involved in making ESP responses, and the role of ESP in psychological life. This called for experimental procedures that were not limited to Rhine's favored forced-choice methodology. Such procedures have included dream telepathy experiments, and the ganzfeld experiments (a mild sensory deprivation procedure).” ( according to Wikipedia)

“Extrasensory perception (ESP), perception that occurs independently of the known sensory processes. Usually included in this category of phenomena are telepathy, or thought transference between persons; clairvoyance, or supernormal awareness of objects or events not necessarily known to others; and precognition, or knowledge of the future. Scientific investigation of these and similar phenomena dates from the late 19th century, with most supporting evidence coming from experiments involving card guessing. Subjects attempt to guess correctly the symbols of cards hidden from their view under controlled conditions; a better-than-chance percentage of correct calls on a statistically significant number of trials is considered to be evidence of ESP. Although many scientists continue to doubt the existence of ESP, people who claim this ability are sometimes used by investigative teams searching for missing persons or things. The existence of parapsychological phenomena continues to be a subject of dispute, although societies for the study of psychic phenomena, made up of eminent scientists and laymen, have been in existence for over a century.

In 1882 the Society for Psychical Research was founded in London, followed six years later by the founding of a similar society in the United States, partly through the efforts of psychologist William James. Such societies were founded later in most European countries, and active work is carried on, particularly in the Netherlands, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan. Universities have been slower to recognize psychical research as a serious subject for study. The activities of the parapsychological laboratory at Duke University, Durham, N.C., under the American parapsychologist J.B. Rhine from the 1930s to the 1960s attracted considerable interest. A department of psychical research later was opened at the University of Utrecht under W.H.C. Tenhaeff. One of the reasons for interest in psychical research in the last half of the 19th century was the rise of the spiritualist movement that grew out of the acceptance of spirit communication as real and the use of this as the basis of a new religion. Some of the early psychical researchers were also spiritualists, as, for example, British spiritualist F.W.H. Myers and the British physicist Sir Oliver Lodge. Other psychical researchers (such as the French physiologist Charles Richet) accepted paranormal activity as real but rejected the spiritualist explanation, while others were not committed to either view.”

“Discussion about parapsychological phenomena has sometimes assumed emotional overtones, unsuitable to scientific discipline, and outspoken but contradictory opinions are still frequently voiced. Believers and nonbelievers in psi may base their belief or disbelief on what they consider to be the scientific evidence, on their personal experiences, or on some larger system of attitudes and values into which ESP does or does not fit. When such extreme and contradictory views are widely held, it is almost certain that the evidence is not conclusive either way and that confident conclusions are unlikely to be supported by a survey of all the known facts.” (according to Britannica)

Many ordinary people think or assume having special abilities opens extra doors or gives you ability to bypass something I society otherwise unavoidable. It does not. People who known to possess such abilities either work for Government lab, where they are testing rats; or psychiatric facilities, where they end up, if they refuse to work for Government. This is their only pathways in life. Alternative options - monastic order of life. I did not get involved with Buddhist or Dhrama becasue I awas mentally ill or whatany abilities. Neither was my reason getting involved with Tibetan Buddhist culture. Traumas of loss, and Feng Shui, ironically, led me to it. I studied it academically first, since 2009, for almost 5 years, only later did retreats. Thats it. I meditated. I did many practices with ceremonial purifications, considered by some religious people as which craft. But this is how some people process trauma: as alternative thinking and reality perceptions process. Without anti-depressants or any other drugs, except cannabis, may be, that would be required for clearing the mind, from the past thoughts and stagnated emotions, using alternative mental methods. I was working with my traumas, not developing any special abilities, nor was I ever even remotely interested in these. I think it is a wrong reason to practice anything religious.

I simply found alternative to Ayahuasca without breaking a bank to do it or using drugs they use to get rid of past traumas and experiences. I used Tibetan Buddhist ceremonial process for that. That’s it. Oh, boy did christians around me where all delighted to call me schizophrenic with bipolar tendencies. These are the people, who can barely see their own dirty thought, that make others who see it - vomit, because they are paranoid social junkies. But hey they loved labeling me. Let them. I did achieve great special ability to… not have any thoughts. No thoughts, no emotions arising, no disturbed energetic waves. Thats it. Nothing special. Now ask yourself a question whether or not you would want to have any special abilities at all. Do you? I don’t. I do not have any. Period. I tested Bio-Well in 2016 & sent it back for full refund. I do not believe it. Sorry.
