I know what you mean.. I've always loved learning about psychic abilities though and trying to inhance my own. Although I've never wanted to use my abilities to take advantage of others. I agree. Meditation time is better spent looking for enlightenment and fulfilling yourself.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, I've definatly done a lot of thinking about everything you've all had to say.
