If you’ve had it since childhood it’s probably something natural for you, certainly no sin involved in any way unless you use the ability to do something illegal or immoral.

I have been accused of reading minds before! I think that sometimes, if you are with certain people, perhaps family actually, you think alike, or are able to predict what they think, before they say it. If you are concentrating very hard on caring about another person, and, perhaps they are, as I said, predictable, or rather shallow maybe … It certainly isn’t a sin, unless you take a lot of pride in it, or have it lead you away from Christ. I think that it may be a problem that should go away, though. It may be a spiritual thing. Something like music on the radio, is coincidental.

I don’t know anything about it really, but, I can imagine it happening. Ask your physician! Or your Mom!

I don’t see you doing anything wrong. Just relax and know that any special gifts we may have come from our Lord. It is our job to use gifts to help others if possible.

Take care and learn your faith well and my God Bless you abundantly.

I used to “do” this too since childhood: dreams, premonitions, “knowing.” It is scary but first realize that intuition is instinctive knowledge. We all have it as human beings, but some of us have more of it than others. Also, some of the more “psychic things” – be very wary. Be wary of becoming intrigued by it or thinking that you have some special gift that needs to be cultivated. I was led me down some very scary roads by well meaning new age types.

I suggest these things: pray for discernment. Talk to your priest. Search out your heart to see if you think you are getting involved in this with your ego. Now when I have these things happen, I pray for the person who it is happening around. Tonight for instance, I prayed, “God please help that person.” I don’t have to “know” what’s going on with them, just a simple prayer to acknowledge that there is something going on. When I became Catholic, I gave up these things to God. It is a process. People, myself included, get carried away by these things. I have felt such a relief to rely on God for guidance. Again, pray for discernment and talk to your priest. My best to you, Sasha
