Believer vs. Disbeliever
In my earlier post I gave an introduction to the paranormal, described a few psychic abilities through the clair-talents, provided a brief history of psychics, and then covered some of the more modern psychics. Whether or not one believes or doesn?t is of moot concern when you consider that everyone possesses some form of psychic ability in one way or another.
The difference between the believer and the non-believer is strictly a matter of how in touch one is with their higher being; the spiritual self. As I?ve witnessed over the years, sometimes it?s a good thing some people are not in touch and in a way have chosen to be so. I say chosen because, every person that is born to this life does so with an agenda in mind; that is to learn in this classroom called Earth.
I am neither here to persuade nor convince a disbeliever to become a believer. My purpose is to merely support and affirm a believer?s or a soon to be believer?s mind in their process of discovery. If a person is not ready to accept the next step, then he/she is simply not ready and should never be forced to accept what they are otherwise not ready for. It can never be stated enough that we are all here to learn our own lessons no matter where that path they may lead us.
Earth is a spiritual classroom where souls come to experience things that could not otherwise be experienced. We are here to learn new concepts which are then integrated into the awareness of our higher being. In a way, giving reference to a higher being doesn?t quite capture the essence of our true spirit. The fact is that the term ?higher being? is only a reference point and not an absolute. The absolute is the sum of our whole being; body, mind, and spirit together.
Absolutes
As corporeal beings with body and mind here on Earth, we have a strong tendency to define and be defined in terms of absolutes. For instance, we go to college to be educated and ultimately be given a degree. That degree confers to the graduate certain absolutes we have come to expect as given facts.
Many times though, we have come to understand that the degree doesn?t necessarily wholly mean what it was designed for. After all, there are Psychiatrists who sometimes behave in a contradictory and erratic manner. Then again, there are those who have risen to great heights with little to no education. Despite the infrequent aberrant behavior from the norm, we still cling to education as an absolute indicator or worth and talent.
Does this automatically infer that there are no absolutes? Absolutely not, absolutes provide the framework for growth, just like a baby grabs hold of a chair or other prop to assist in standing. Eventually, when the baby is able to stand on its own, he/she will no longer need props to stand. When props are no longer necessary, a new absolute takes its place; legs and feet become means of locomotion. In this manner we could consider absolutes as tools (framework) for greater growth.
Higher Self and Being
Bearing in mind that absolutes are a means to an end and not an end to a means, so are we in relationship to our ?higher self?. The concept of a higher self stems from the need to define a part of ourselves in absolute measures of greater, lesser, higher, or lower values. As a result it becomes a compartmentalized representation of who we ought to be rather than who we are.
This rigid compartmentalized way of thinking has become so prevalent as to be considered an absolute institution unto it?s self. This institutionalized thinking is both a corruption of the spirit and a necessary evil if life is to exist here on earth. A corruption due in great part to its inhibition of abstract creativity, a necessary evil because not all people are capable of or should be capable of anything greater than concrete reasoning.
Like the child who has just taken his/her very first steps, there is a moment of confusion and uncertainty with this new ability. At this point the child will either grasp the new concept of standing or walking, or will simply revert back to using props to sustain his/her efforts. In the later, the infant has chosen to become overwhelmed by his/her surroundings instead of overcoming them. They (the infant) become, as it were, a part of the fixtures at this point; neither succeeding nor receding.
As created beings, we in turn possess the inherent needs and abilities to create and evolve. When we sleep, our dreams, rich in symbolism, help to drive us closer to the truth of who we are. Some of us will heed the call to merge with the infinite, while others may give a perfunctory acknowledgement at best and move on, while others ignore it completely. In all, just a matter of whom and what we have chosen to be in this life and the lessons we choose to learn.
Saints and Sinners Alike
What exactly is a saint? According to tradition, a saint is an individual of exceptional holiness who is an important aesthetic symbol of virtue in many religions, particularly Christianity. In addition Christianity, Hindus have their own version of saints, as do ancient religions which used the term demigod to refer to special half god and half human like individuals. For the most part, Saints and Demigods alike are considered to be on par with superhuman abilities.
On the other hand, sinners are considered those reeking in moral turpitude. That is, lacking good character and integrity normally expected of a human being. Unlike saints who are adored for their virtues, sinners are abhorred for the lack of them. Wretched, greedy and godless; with little or no regard for any sensible shred of human dignity. Today?s psychiatric terminology would label them as antisocial personalities, sociopaths, and/or psychopaths.

Saints and sinners have one thing in common; both serve the purpose of providing a stark contrast to right and wrong. After all, for the sake of being human, how else would we know light if there is no darkness and darkness if there is no light? Each has their reason for existing and a greater knowledge to unfold.
Destiny
Does this mean that we?re predestined to live a life in black and white? Not in the least, there are as many colors as the world can hold. Just because we have chosen the life we will lead here and now, doesn?t mean we will follow a direct path between X and Y. Think of it as being on a cruise ship, with the captain steering and overseeing the journey as it progresses. In the mean time we?re free to walk about and interact with the other passengers. The only difference is that we have a general agreement and understanding of where we are headed and the lessons to be learned along the way.
A well known psychic made a statement a while back that really caught my attention. She said, ?Each of us has been given five waypoints in life where we will be provided with the opportunity to live or die.? At that moment I realized just how disingenuous this psychic really was. The fact is, there is no such thing as five waypoints in life for anything let alone our demise. We might have an idea of what, when, where and why, but it is not a waypoint by any means.
The creator has created and in that creation creates in return. In this way we are all like artists working in a strange medium we call life. We craft every curve and nuance in whatever manner of our choosing. It is through the act of creation that we unleash our true passions upon the world. Every stroke capturing a moment in time of who we are and building upon the next of whom we are becoming. Therein is the one and only absolute in life and that is that the creation exists to become a creator.
Strange as it May Seem
Anyone who has taken the time to embark on a spiritual journey has eventually come upon a moment similar to a child?s first steps. It is a moment filled with all sorts of emotions; the joy of a new revelation, the fear of uncertainty, and most of all the confusion of facing a new form of reality. It?s a daunting challenge for even the most adept and willing of humanity to take in let alone an overwhelming fright for those caught unprepared.
One of my very first inklings of having psychic abilities came during a bible study meeting at a friend?s house. During the meeting I was suddenly overcome with a strange emotion of dread and sorrow. As these feelings persisted I started to look within for an answer. Just as quickly as these feelings had enveloped me, so did the answer, ?Say a warm goodbye to your friend tonight, this will be the last time you?ll see her.? Can we say dumbfounded and dismayed?
Reluctantly believing what I had just been told, I still managed to say a fond goodbye as though it would be the last time we would see each other. That Sunday, upon arriving at church, another close friend approached me with some very sad news. My friend, it turns out, suffered a stroke the night before and passed over unexpectedly. As sad as I was at her passing I was also confronted by a sense of guilt for not having said or done anything to prevent it. Again, a voice came from within saying, ?The information was not intended to save her life, it was given for you to say a final goodbye. This was the time she had chosen to depart and her life here was complete.?
Well, talk about learning to stand, for me this was the equivalent of skipping that part and going all the way to flight school without a learner?s permit. I?ve always known that the other side had a tremendous sense of humor, but good grief, can we start out a little simpler next time? How about a hamster or gold fish, something a little easier to handle? But hey, sometimes it?s true; it?s easier to get my attention with a baseball bat than a toothpick any day.
