Clairaudiance can be understood as a telepathy with that astral being who sends thoughts to a human recipient, without bridging a large distance, which is possible with telepathy. Telepathy is part of God's plan because it gives us all a way to communicate. In the original sense telepathy was supposed to be communication with one person consciously sending thoughts, the other person consciously receiving them. This allows long distance communication. With spiritual development it is possible to regain this ability and thereby get in contact with spirit beings.
Telekinesis is another previously misused ability.
Telekinesis is the power to move or change matter. Originally humans were given this ability, until it was misused and is now only present in few humans. Also here are some cases of forced use and misuse. Also this ability can be learned for proper positive use at the right time by those that are on the spiritual path. Neither telepathy nor telekinesis are a purpose of the spiritual path, however these gifts will be given to those who through their spiritual development are ready and prepared.
