Of course, there will always be humans at different levels of consciousness on earth - some so much into their feelings that they become neurotic, and some so disconnected from their emotions that they lose the ability to intuit. Both extremes are dysfunctional. Detachment is also a virtue (according to Buddhist philosophy), but one that I haven't managed to master yet. I like having the ability to feel. Seems more real and alive to me. I ever decide to renounce the world and become a sanyasin, I'll learn detachment. ;-) I think (and have read) that humans are reaching a higher level of consciousness, which is why there are more intuitives popping up.

I wonder. It's curious that in this age of technology people are growing more detached and removed from each other and at the same time it seems clairempaths are popping up in larger numbers. Or making their presence known could it be that people are becoming more detached because of an ability they possess, or is the ability making itself known to counteract the distancing. I think I've confused myself. ;) That’s fascinating. I wonder.
