Wands, I was referring in the second sentence to people who prefer to suppress their abilities. Sorry for any confusion on that. It was late, I was tired...lol
We all have abilities. Some more than others, but I believe we all have them. I have known people who deliberately suppress them for a variety of reasons.
Did that clear the confusion for you?
As for the second paragraph, I am saying that our mundane partners may not be the only influences as dampners. We may also self regulate our own energy to "meet" or align with the more mundane energies of our partners. It may be a combo of the two things...self regulating plus their dampening nature.
