The Psychic Level

In line with the idea that the model need not stop at the intuitive, lets propose that there exists a level number five.

Since so called ‘psychic’ levels are referred to in various literatures, lets assume for now that one exists. The experience conveyed by contact with these larger systems is neither emotional, physical or mental since these are the means of communication of subsystems that function differently. It should not therefore surprise us that descriptions of experiences of the psychic system are not easily translated into physical, emotional, or mental language. They are more likely to be translated into numinous, transcendent, or just plain woolly language. This is indeed what seems to happen.

The psychic system can process information at lightning fast speeds because of the high level of abstraction at which it operates. This gives the impression of it acting outside of space and time.

Following the principle of ubiquity and unification, the same principle that we have applied to physical, emotional, mental and intuitive systems, the the psychic system exist to sum up intuitive procepts into a higher order of processing.

Psychic processes are sufficiently abstract and remote from normal awareness that the mind invents spirits, ghosts, discarnate entities and aliens in order to try and grasp the information that it is receiving. For most people however will  simply block out all awareness of the psychic level because it is so ‘alien’.

The fact that it is so easy to mock people who claim to have psychic awareness lies partly with our desire to mock and partly with the people claiming awareness who clearly have disjointed and partial experiences which they try to explain using words and emotions.

It is quite likely that anyone who has an integrated ‘psychic’ awareness would use it as appropriate and this would not be showing off, giving ‘psychic readings’, or trying to beat the bookies.

It is also likely that what the psychologist C. G. Jung identified as ‘Archetypes’ are a way of describing information distilled at this level.
