"Natural" blocks That Occur When Reading Ourselves/Others
I have been reading a long time and have heard from other reader's over the years about natural blocks. Though I never really explored starting a thread or asking them in depth about it. I think we all have these blocks to some degree, and they are often in place to either protect us, our higher interests (maybe a moral code thing) as well as to protect others...
One common I have heard is not being able to read yourself. Knew a few readers who always tried, but never could successfully. I chalked that to that person's desire to remain objective in all that they do... but they very gifted and often used their abilities to help others and didn't seem to have any qualms about not being able to read themselves. It is refreshing.
Another less common one, is not being able to read others. I think this is one is kinda weird... because I think we all do sense each other on some level, so probably there is only a block to the point of not "forcing" a connection that isn't initially there... because don't we all get gut feelings about those we are around? For example, getting a gut feeling that a person you are around is a bad influence or just knowing you or someone else connect well on some level... or don't. Maybe this is an objectivity thing as well... because when we don't force conclusions, isn't that when we are usually our most honest selves?
I have some of my own natural blocks but they're more situational and often depends on the querent and their sense of well-being. Like I won't even open to those who I know it will be detrimental to do so. Anyway, I don't want to make the OP so long that nobody replies ...
Does anyone have any experience with this type of phenomenon?
