The veil which separates our logical mind from subconscious mind is not discrete. It is rather moving, fluid and fuzzy. Some things are very difficult for us to perceive via the veil. Other things are reasonably easy. As we develop habit and handy automations, we can practice them and send them into subconscious mind via the veil. It is very natural for a modern human to do so. Most of our education is this process: to automate certain skills and make them a part of our subconscious mind.
Having an inherent talent is common for humans. This means that it is for a human is very easy to learn a certain skill. People vary in which skills they are talented. Many people focus on works in which they have inherent talent. Yet, there are people who focus on works where they have a very limited talent. It is not irrational. It makes sense. For example, I know a woman who had real problem with communication to others. She took special effort to study communication in college, became an expert and now teaches communication. So starting with no talent potentially allows a person to consciously learn a certain skill in more detail than for people who already have a talent.
I am pretty sure that I am talented in many things because I had done them in past lives. Also it is possible that I have a psychic ability to connect to universal resource of knowledge, maybe to Akashic records of Earth or wider records. When I start learning new things, I have a familiar feeling of learning something that is easy. As I practiced learning new things, I developed a skill to transform and blend into a new vibration compatible with a new skill. I am conscious about the effort of this transformation and limitations of it. For example, I have empirically determined that I am vulnerable during the transformation and frequent transformations are harmful for my health. Still the energy and pleasure I am getting from doing new things is high so I keep learning new skills. I believe this helps my higher self and possibly you to learn via my experiences.
