Left with a feeling of doom

[Sacred Fool]

All people can do is to experience psionic abilities personally. That way they don't have to theorize or try to debunk whatever they read or see on the tv/internet. Personal experience is far better than reading books. Remembering is better than reading too.

Agreed.  And just to be clear, the point I was trying to make was not about having a gift for extraordinary psychic abilities (such as Manning), because manifesting such things is clearly not part of everyone's incarnational plan.  I was just trying to point to the crucial importance the deep feeling portion of the mind can play in the course of one's spiritual unfolding during an incarnation.

Swinging back the topic of this thread, if you are feeling a sense of doom, then harmonizing with that area of self can be highly beneficial.  Although, like so many other things, on the one hand it's not easy work, but on the other hand, this makes the journey to experience it all the more personally significant.
