It seems I've been confused about the whole concept of talent. eek Some people loose they ability to walk at some point of life, although before they might have been real talents at it. That could happen to esoteric talents? Could someone become psychic deaf for instance for some reason or another, while before they where real talents in it?
Nothing is permanent. Like many talents, if you don't work at something sometimes it leaves you. Music degrades if you do not practise. Ageing pianists get arthritis and can't play anymore (or get botox treatment). Your talent for walking will leave eventually when you have two false hips and varicose veins.
Psychic talent might well leave if you don't work at it. Someone who may be naturally talented may have it beaten out of them if always told that such things don't exist. When people get old and mentally unstable their psychic skills may degrade. Nothing lasts forever.
Aw now I've got that Paul Simon song stuck in my head... "Everything put together, sooner or later falls apart..."
