She said what about that poem you wrote about reading a bird’s mind?
I said, I’m a jester at times, kidding about things I don’t believe in.
But what about your spiritual experiences and the kundalini energy in you, she said?
I said, those aren’t psychic powers, just natural manifestations in one’s spiritual life.
She cited people with alleged psychic powers she’d read about.
I said don’t believe what you’ve read. They’ve all been debunked.
I’d like there to be an abundance of psychic powers … if
they could be used for the good of humankind and to better the world.
But I just don’t believe anyone has bona fide paranormal powers.
