It is somewhat akin to the fear of Gay or Lesbian people to "come out" in publicly announcing their particular anomaly to the general ways of heterosexuals. The fear of retaliation and of discrimination keeps many of those people from "coming out".
This fear of public ridicule or of observations that the psi recipient in all probability needs to be counseled and given drug treatment to suppress the perceived "illness", keeps us from advancing publication of such experiences and perhaps depriving society as a whole from possible blessings of such experiences.
In my case these paranormal experiences began at age eight and continued through life to the present now at age eighty. Early in 2001 I published on the internet a biography, Under the Mormon Tree, in which I first outlined some of those experiences which had brought me into conflict with the leaders of the Mormon Church.
At the time of those conflicts, in the early 1970's, I was
an active Mormon but when those conflicts became paramount in my life, I spent
about five years attempting to merge them within the confines of subordination
to the hierarchical order of the church.
By their nature it was impossible. I asked the church leaders to personally take the responsibility of my failure to follow paranormal directions given me as a result of their counsel.
They refused of course!The problem was that the church leaders claimed a direct connection with God and I was receiving information that was in conflict with their claims to that connection. One or both of us had to be in error. I placed them on notice that at a time certain, if they failed to intelligently communicate with me. I would proceed to follow my conscience. They failed and I proceeded.
For those who thought I came off the wall and out of nowhere on April 2, 1976, there is a long history of effort to deal with church leaders behind it.
