Paranormal Research and You

Psychic abilities are common in many people and often go unnoticed, are denied, or written off as "coincidences" and not taken seriously. I have observed some people with an excellent mark for psychic abilities yet they never thought their abilities were unusual. They generally said they considered their psychic abilities to be normal and thought everyone had them. Many people with psychic abilities have been studied in an attempt to understand exactly what the phenomena is and where it comes from. The results are varied and inconclusive many times. However, there is overwhelming evidence that some people do indeed operate in supernatural ways that can not be explained by traditional physical laws.

To increase your psychic abilities it is necessary to quiet the conscious mental chatter in the mind. Usually there is considerable "self talk" in the head that is produced by daily stresses. Any calming and quieting activity such as meditation, yoga, or soaking in a bath will greatly reduce the chatter and improve one's communications with the source of psychic abilities. There are many beliefs as to what "the source" is. Some think the source of psychic abilities and information is some religious figure, spirit guides, a dead relative, or even aliens. For our purpose here I will just call it "the source". I generally consider the subconscious mind in the body to be like a radio receiver getting information from "the source" which is external to the body.

To most successfully access your psychic and paranormal resources the conscious mind has to be an objective observer willing to accept any information coming from the source. What all too often happens to block psychic abilities and information is that a flash of information comes from the source and then the conscious mind analyzes it, doubts it, and rejects it as "not what we are looking for". That just turns off the subconscious receiver! The biggest deterrent to using psychic information is the conscious mind that has to analyze or criticize every new impression. Hopefully the conscious mind will simply observe the first information coming into awareness (First information is usually correct!) and just say, "That's interesting. Thank you." No judgments! No criticism! Nothing except: "That's interesting. Thank you." Any analyzing and judging will stop the flow of psychic information every time!

Some of the major psychic phenomena experienced by people throughout history falls in these categories:

  • Extrasensory Perception (ESP) Perception (as in telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition) of information about events external to the self not gained through the senses and not deducible from previous experience.
  • Psychokinesis (PK) Movement of physical objects by the mind.
  • Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)Multidimensional consciousness where one senses operating and viewing from outside one's own body. Also called astral projection.
  • Altered States of Consciousness Operating mentally in an manner not normally used, generally with extraordinary senses and wisdom or abilities.
  • Precognitive Dreams Dreaming of future events that actually happen as dreamed.
  • Psychic Healing Extraordinary healing of physical conditions, often immediately and spontaneously.
  • Apparitions Perceiving the appearance of people who have died; generally called a "ghost". Often the apparition is of a past religious figure such as the Virgin Mary or Jesus.
  • Dowsing Searching for something such as underground water source. Tools such as a forked tree limb or bent rods called "divining rods" are held and used to locate objects.
  • Poltergeists A noisy usually mischievous ghost held to be responsible for unexplained noises (as rapping)

Another interesting ability is the "medical intuitive". I knew a woman in Rancho Cordova, California back in the 1970's who was a receptionist in a medical doctor's office. For years she played a little game where she would trust her "hunches" and guess at what each new patient's medical problems were before they told the doctor. She wrote down the details of symptoms and later gave them to the doctor after the patient left. Her "guesses" were nearly always correct. This type of psychic ability is called a "medical intuitive". One of the best known medical intuitives was Edgar Cayce (1877 - 1945). His work is well documented and available to the public for use and for research.

Recently declassified documents reveals that psychic phenomenon was taken seriously by the U.S government's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the "cold war". For over 20 years the CIA funded psychic remote viewing intelligence gathering experiments at Standford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California.

My final comment here on this subject is that it appears nearly anyone can receive psychic information. It happens by quieting the conscious mind and allowing the information in the subconscious to flow freely. Usually first impressions are correct. I also know that some people are better at it than others and the better psychics usually have some indication of their powers by marks in their hands.
