THE PSYCHIC SENSE

If not clearly understood, the psychic sense can be a detriment to our spiritual awakening because it is basically a sixth or physical sense.  Being genuinely psychic is very helpful and is a personal sense often laced with a feeling of power and may be fostered by the manipulative side of the ego-personality. To deliberately seek psychic powers for self-aggrandizement is to waste precious time.  It becomes a misuse of a heightened awareness.  Psychic experiences are a natural byproduct of a developed sixth sense in physical form.  It isn’t always connected with soul advancement.  Many animals, particularly cats, have it.  My cat, Baba, sees angelic beings and other forms of light around me and in the room.  Sometimes, I feel he sees and knows too much.  But at least, animals do not misuse the sixth sense like many humans tend to do.  Dogs often growl when they sense an invisible entity in a room.  It is fascinating to watch the dogs’ movement as he or she is on alert and following activity happening in a room that may not be seen or felt by the humans.

In the far distant past, being psychic was more commonly a part of the every day physical experience.  Looking to past ages of man, it appears as if the more a human is involved with materiality and technology, the sixth sense frequently diminishes in power and use. The truth of this is in evidence if one studies carefully the progress of the soul.   Anything, meaning power, can be used for the good or for mischievous ends depending on the consciousness of the individual and the cycle of humanity and its collective interest.   If psychic powers are a natural development in man and they are used for personal gain and glory, the misuse may temporarily destroy any gains that have been made in the enfoldment of the flower of the individual hidden spirit life.

Intuition in its pure form used for the awakening of consciousness is a gift to be shared with others.  Through intuitive awakening, we will naturally realize what we need to know to bring harmony and wisdom into the body and mind and create a healing environment.  Obviously, there are degrees in consciousness.  If we seek to unfold and awaken fully to our true spiritual identity, why seek that which is of the lesser?  Seek not personal power, but rather seek the Impersonal power that is available, healing and helpful to all?

It is through intense feelings that change and an expanding enlightenment eventually take place becoming a living reality in our lives. The pursuit for excellence demands attention, discipline and discernment for us to remove the veil from the clouded mind that is so easily deceptive.  It is through our mental and emotional choices that visions surface in the conscious mind.  Visions are meant to be teaching tools, a language taking comfortable forms to help us grow in our conscious awareness of a higher life that is waiting patiently to live through us as us.  The inner divine self transcends the senses including the psychic. The divine helps us remember what we have learned and encourages us to further explore the endless wisdom of the light of understanding through spontaneous visions.  Speaking from experience, the visions are not always understood.  We are not to only observe them and be thankful but use our intuition and in some cases intellectually investigate the symbols and make certain we understand the message correctly.  This is why we must be attentive and develop discernment not going off in the ‘la la land’ so typical of the many who are blessed with this ability.  Stay grounded, analyze what you have viewed, learn from the vision and take action if necessary.

We are given revelations from both the subconscious and super-conscious at the strangest of times.  They happen to me in the shower, at the grocery store, talking to friends and every type of situation imaginable.  If I can, I remove myself to a place where I can safely observe and receive.  Why spirit chooses inappropriate human times to present a message to us is interesting but then our typically mundane lives compared to their limitless freedom of expression takes precedence over what we consider convenience.

It is very comforting to realize that we have an inner companion looking out for our best interests.  It is important not to take for granted revelations but use them for spiritual growth and to help others when a need is indicated.  At one time, I referred to spiritual manifestations as gifts but soon learned that they are really an original and intricate part of our true self.  We have experienced and learned their existence long ago and are again remembering the forgotten presence and power.   There is a difference between psychic gifts of the sixth sense and the power and possibilities of the innate awakening aspects of our higher Self.   The sixth-physic sense primarily focuses on the invisible planes closely associated with earth and earth life itself.  To be psychic does not necessarily mean we are a consciously awakened spiritual being.  The ideal is to blend and use the two together for the good of self and all.  The intuitive knowing or gifts of spiritual illumination involve the wisdom science directed by that Source, Core, Indescribable Force, which existed prior to the birth of creation, humanity, false belief systems and materiality.

AN IMAGINED REALITY

Dramatically beautiful and exciting spiritual experiences may breed a form of competitiveness between seekers.  Some people complain that their experience in meditation wasn’t as good as the other persons. Self-mastery is not competitive or involved with the world of glamour.  It involves soul progression and becoming fully alive here in matter.  Healing is experienced silently on many different levels.  The secret is to view mystical experiences as powers from the Higher Self to be used for the good of humankind, but not as an end to be sought after or achieved. You will also need to learn the difference between psychic and spiritual energy.

Acknowledge experiences as they happen and then encourage movement through them.  What effect do the visions have on your state of mind?  How do they seem to fit in to the perspective of your spiritual growth?  If psychic or spiritual experiences prove to be a benefit for your growth as well as a help to others, then be attentive, learn and use them wisely.

At the same time, you need to guard against not being grounded and falling into or becoming ensnared in an imagined reality.  If you allow and encourage this form of manifestation, your reality may become laced with the power of ego. It could become a form of turning away from its original design.  Psychic experiences can become a super-charged manipulative activity.  The lure of personal power has caused many a soul to turn away from the path of purity.  It is possible to become so immersed in the tinsel of mental mirages, the Maya, that you eventually become blind to the reality of your true essence and purpose.  We are creators.  This means we can at times create a false perception of what Is as easily as a true perception.

In the teachings of true masters, the emphasis is always “Love God First”.  Be alert to the fact that a soul can easily forget the One Presence, Power and Wisdom that is behind the creative finite manifestation.  I would like to see more evidence and hear stories revolving around devotion, commitment to soul growth and service associated with an authentic brotherhood and sisterhood.  The Lord Buddha said it clearly, “Only when you realize the full potential of your higher Self will you heal and understand the purpose of self.”

What are you willing to do to be healed in body, mind and soul?  Are you open to explore your true identity as intelligent light, a spirit, temporarily living in form?  Are you serious regarding kindling the fires of soul discernment?  Do you realize that as you lift your consciousness the requirements of Universal Law are more demanding?  Are you training your mind to be free and not duped by opinions of others?  Do you understand that self-mastery is to be attained in the physical body?  Do you realize the urgency of world conditions?

We have a responsibility.  The responsibility is to attentive and keep ourselves so filled with Light that at any hour of the day or night we are free of limitation and not bound by the misshapen desires of mental manipulation.  It is not the years, the study, the books we’ve read or the psychic experiences that matters, it is how deeply we love and try to express the heart.  I have discovered that devotion to Source is the greatest protection against delusion.  Loyalty, honesty and respect toward the higher Self manifests as a calm acceptance.  Any obstacles or glamorous inducements that cross our path will not sway us.

If you do not wish to be mesmerized, do not waste time on distractions, instead, trust and choose to see God in the moment.  We are holy beings hiding behind a mask.  In the ‘Song to God in the Bhagavad-Gita it is said, ‘Listen to me and hear me.  This is my secret…the supreme word.  I will tell you what will benefit you the most, because I love you.’  Gandhi in his interpretation of the Gita called it “a big knowledge-feast".  It is the very amrita (sweet nectar) of knowledge.

SUICIDES AND CLOSURES

Not only are influences directed toward us from unseen intelligence that same subtle intelligence may ask for a healing from a human.  A friend’s neighbor was actually afraid to go into his basement and do the laundry.  Even his dog would resist.  They ‘felt’ something or someone hanging out in the basement that was not peaceful.  Finally, my friend asked me to visit her neighbor and psychically check the basement and see if I could determine what was actually going on.  I carried my boom box, a cassette filled with Gregorian chants, incense, candles and a pendulum to the basement.  For one reason or another, I felt whatever was going was somehow involved with church protocol.  Feeling the anxiety and sadness permeating the area, I came to the conclusion that there was a departed soul in the basement who needed a healing. I have always found it interesting how the ‘dead’ seem to know which humans have enough sensitivity to actually see and communicate with them.  They obviously feel the connection in our personal energy field.  I also felt amused regarding the homeowner, his dog and my friend not coming near the action by staying off to the side.

I found out that the earthbound soul had taken his life in the house.  He had been a Catholic and according to our telepathic communication received no closure ceremony regarding his burial.   He wanted a service and asked whether I would create right then and there a memorial for him, which I did.  Feeling compassion for the soul, I did the best that I could do under the circumstances.  Candles were lit, incense burning and prayers said and a lovely chant was playing.  When finished with the ceremony and feeling his newfound peace, I called the angels to come and gently take this soul to a brighter place than his former basement. 

Perhaps, you already know that many animals are clairvoyant.  They usually have a clearer access to unseen activities in subtle and sensitive areas than many humans.  It was really sweet observing the homeowner’s dog watch the grateful soul leave with the angels.  Of course, the homeowner was grateful as well.  Now, he could go into his basement without feeling the intense sadness that had filled the room and take care of what needed to be done.
