Most human beings will have a psychic spark at least barring a few. Those very few who may not have a psychic spark are usually possessed by vital forces and are often the cause of much disruption and disorder and sometimes of worse things which may well be called as deliberate evil. They cannot be changed and it is best to cut off all connection with such a person as his or her close presence may sometimes be even harmful for others.
The sign of psychic presence is a warmth in the heart with love, sympathy, gratitude, kindness for others, the urge for progress and above all faith. Love for Truth, Good and Beauty (true beauty and not just beauty of appearances) is another sign. At a more developed stage, those with a psychic being have an aspiration for the Divine or a seeking or quest for higher things. Of course this seeking for God should not be confused with religiosity such as visiting of temples and engaging in rituals to gain personal power or aggrandise and fulfil one’s ambition.
The ultimate sign of the fully developed psychic being is love for God made up of the spirit of self giving. A love that gives itself without demand is the clear sign of a developed psychic being.
As to realising the psychic being, the best method is cultivating faith, increasing the aspiration, spending time with genuine spiritual books or in the company of God lovers and God seekers, devotion, bhakti, love and surrender to the Divine or at least love for God in humanity. One can also practice concentration in the heart, in the centre of the chest on the Divine Presence, and go deeper, with the help of God’s Name and contemplating upon His form.
Affectionately,
