Not All Psychic Abilities Come from a Higher Place
We love the idea of psychic abilities. The thought of receiving messages from beyond, predicting the future, or tapping into hidden knowledge is deeply alluring. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize, not all psychic insights come from a higher place. Some come from past experiences, subconscious fears, and unresolved trauma.
Enter Low Psy-Q vs. High Psy-Q, a framework that distinguishes between psychic insights that merely recycle old information from the Unconscious Mind and those that bring true wisdom and expansion from the Higher Self and beyond.
According to my Three Minds Model, our Unconscious Mind, Conscious Mind, and Higher Consciousness all play a role in our perception of reality. However, not all psychic downloads are created equal. Some are just regurgitated past experiences, while others offer genuine new insights and inspiration.
Let’s explore how to tell the difference.
What is Low Psy-Q?
Low Psy-Q is psychic intelligence that comes only from the Unconscious Mind. This means it’s based on past experiences, fears, and learned patterns, rather than genuine intuition or divine wisdom. It’s not actually new information, it’s just the mind retrieving and repackaging what it already knows.
Signs of Low Psy-Q
- Pattern-Based “Intuition” – Thinking you’re receiving a vision, but it’s just your Unconscious Mind matching patterns from past experiences.
- Fear-Based “Warnings” – Getting messages that feel urgent or scary, but they’re actually just anxieties bubbling up.
- Emotional Triggers Disguised as Psychic Hits – Feeling like you’re “reading” someone’s energy when you’re actually projecting your own wounds onto them.
- Confirmation Bias – Only noticing psychic insights that support what you already believe.
Because Low Psy-Q stays within the realm of what’s already known, it often leads to repeating the same cycles, giving the illusion of psychic ability but never offering real growth or transformation.
What is High Psy-Q?
High Psy-Q is psychic intelligence that comes from the Higher Self and beyond. Instead of being limited to past experiences, it taps into true intuition, divine wisdom, and fresh insights. This is where real inspiration, creativity, and deep knowing emerge.
Signs of High Psy-Q
- Genuine New Information – Insights that offer a perspective you hadn’t considered before.
- Neutral & Clear – There’s no fear or emotional charge, just a deep, calm knowing.
- Expansive & Uplifting – High Psy-Q guides you toward growth, rather than keeping you stuck in old fears.
- Beyond Personal Experience – You receive knowledge that isn’t just a replay of what you’ve already seen or felt.
- Aligned with Higher Truths – The insights lead to empowerment, wisdom, and deeper understanding.
When you access High Psy-Q, you’re not just recycling old patterns, you’re stepping into a higher level of consciousness, receiving guidance that propels you forward.
The Three Minds Model & Psychic Intelligence
Dr. Lisa Turner’s Three Minds Model explains why these two types of psychic intelligence feel so different:
- Unconscious Mind → Low Psy-Q
- The Unconscious Mind stores memories, fears, past experiences, and automatic reactions.
- Any psychic ability sourced only from here is just pattern recognition, not actual intuition.
- Conscious Mind → Processing Zone
- The Conscious Mind can evaluate and filter psychic impressions, asking, “Is this new wisdom, or just an old story?”
- This is where discernment comes in.
- Higher Consciousness → High Psy-Q
- True intuition, divine downloads, and transcendent wisdom come from the Higher Self and beyond.
- This is where new ideas, spiritual breakthroughs, and authentic psychic clarity emerge.
When psychic messages come from Higher Consciousness, they feel clear, calm, and enlightening, never fearful or limiting.
Why This Matters
If your psychic abilities aren’t helping you grow, or if they keep reinforcing old fears and struggles, you might be stuck in Low Psy-Q. This isn’t a failure; it’s just a sign that your insights are coming from the Unconscious Mind rather than from true higher wisdom.
Many spiritual seekers unknowingly mistake trauma responses for intuition. Without healing, they stay in psychic loops, reinforcing fears rather than breaking free.
How to Shift from Low Psy-Q to High Psy-Q
- Heal Your Emotional Wounds – The Conscious Emotional Transformation (CET) method clears past trauma, making space for true intuition.
- Question Your Psychic Hits – Ask yourself, “Is this coming from fear and memory, or from a place of wisdom and love?”
- Strengthen Your Connection to Higher Consciousness – Meditate, journal, and practice receiving rather than assuming.
- Use Your Conscious Mind as a Filter – If an insight feels charged with fear, doubt, or urgency, it’s likely Low Psy-Q, not true intuition.
- Expand Beyond Your Own Experiences – Seek insights that challenge, uplift, and evolve your understanding, rather than just confirming what you already know.
