 Listen to your heart as the only validator.

I agree with you here.

Ah. I didn't say *I* thought it was good advice. I don't particularly. I
was commenting on what Terril wrote about avoiding developing esp. Which I
don't think is a problem at all, so long as you don't mistake it for the
ultimate goal.
Which I presume (though I don't know) is why the Buddha of history told his
followers to ignore it until they became enlightened.
Personally I quite enjoy my esp. And it led me to spritual curiosity, when
otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered at all. I'd probably be an
atheist.

Peace :)
