‘Psychic’ abilities or powers belong to the occult domain of our being. In other words it means that there is a larger, vaster subliminal mind behind our mind, a deeper, more powerful life behind our life, even a subtle physical beind the physical body. Ordinarily we live bound by the surface consciousness and hence are unaware about these domains that have greater powers than our surface consciousness. The reason is that these inner domains are less tied to the physical consciousness and more open to the universal consciousness. It is called as the inner being in Sri Aurobindo’s terminology.
The psychic being is still behind, still deeper. It belongs to the Transcendent Divine. It is a portion of the Divine, the secret soul in man that develops from life to life until it becomes one with the Supreme Divine Itself.
The occult domain with psychic abilities may, in fact, do awaken as the consciousness turns inwards towards the Divine. But these are not without their risk and tend to sometimes carry the seeker into an intermediate zone where truth and falsehood is mixed. Traditional yoga cautions the disciples from treading into these domains as they often require a close contact with the Master. But the psychic proper, the secret soul belongs to the spiritual domain and can be pursued without the help of a living Master.
