Spiritual Cultivation and Movement
Must you proactively tell someone everything you spiritually perceive about them?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Having a feeling does not mean you must keep telling the other person about it. People with spiritual perceptions can face a dilemma: staying silent raises concern about failing to warn, while speaking may make the person feel constantly directed. The wish to help needs to be considered within the actual relationship too.
I once knew a friend who readily voiced whatever they sensed, without necessarily intending to show off. Sometimes they simply felt that knowing something but not saying it to help the person avoid misfortune seemed wrong. But I have encountered similar situations myself where saying too much ultimately made people dislike it.
So having an ability is not only about what you know. It also involves learning how to relate to people. Your wish to offer a reminder and the other person's feelings are separate matters. You cannot focus only on feeling compelled to speak. Also consider what constant advice is doing to the relationship through which you originally wanted to help.
