Understanding Psychic Phenomena
With the dawning of a New Age of Enlightenment,
everyday, a wealth of new information continues to filter in to the world. All
the mysteries are unfolding in our midst. Many things previously unknown, even
feared, can now be known and understood.
Today, we are learning that psychic phenomena are
perfectly natural occurrences. We learn that psychic properties are inherent
although latent in everyone. While the five senses derive from the normal
functioning of our physical sense organs, psychic perception and psychic
abilities relate directly to our inner, spiritual faculties. We need not be
afraid of these phenomena; instead, we merely need to understand more. And we
should also realize that if we so desire, these faculties are capable of further
development.
The more spiritual aspects of psychic phenomena
may not as yet be acceptable to many of our scientists since their studies are
confined almost exclusively to the realm of physical things. However, without
being too scientific, let us consider a few of the principles or theories, if
you prefer, now given to explain them.
We are what we think we are. It is possible so
long as we think that it is possible. In fact, all matter and all things have
come into being only as a consequence of thought. "Thought is the
builder," according to Edgar Cayce.
Thought creates. Really, whatever name you
may wish to call it, consciousness, intelligence or thought reigns supreme. And
the application of this principle on matter is what we now term as psychokinesis
or PK.
And, precisely, this is the same principle that
Christ employed when he was yet with us. He transformed plain water into
excellent wine. He multiplied a few loaves of bread and fish to feed thousands.
He commanded the forces of nature and they acceded to his commands, even storms
and such. All these he was able to do by simply availing of this creative force.
As it relates to diverse forms of these phenomena, the mechanics may vary but
the same basic principles apply.
Psychic senses operate in much the same manner as
radio and television. A sound, a picture, a thought and even a feeling or an
emotion can be captured or encoded in a particular impulse, signal or vibration
and transmitted abroad. And these sounds and pictures can then be received or
the signals decoded by an appropriate instrument. However, until now, psychic
vibrations are still well over the range of our most sensitive receivers. But
those humans who are able to detect these higher vibrations are those whom we
now know as psychics, mediums and clairvoyants.
Christ, just as the prophets before him,
demonstrated these very same faculties. He knew before they actually happened
that Judas would betray him and that Peter would deny him. Moreover, his display
of unerring knowledge with respect to certain other persons like Philip and
Zacchaeus are similar proofs of his clairvoyant faculties.
In the area of healing, when Christ laid his
hands on the sick, he charged them with his own recreative energy, which is
simply something like recharging a depleted or dead car battery.
We should also realize that all matter is not
really "solid" but, instead, is merely a conjoining of many separate
and individual molecules and atoms. We know from science that when the rate of
vibration of matter changes, then the state of that matter changes as well, be
it from solid to liquid or to gas. And when this happens, the properties of such
matter change drastically. We need only to consider the differences in the
properties of ice, water and steam to demonstrate this fact, because all of
these three are the same substance except that they are in different states.
In the case of psychic surgery, a significant
increase in psychic energy tending to increase the rate of vibration of tissue
cells has been noted during psychic operations. And then as if by magic,
suddenly, the cells can easily be parted, and many things that could not have
been done are then made possible, in like manner that ice can be parted much
more easily after it has melted into water.
And what about those near death experiences or
out-of-body-experiences where some have had the enviable opportunity to visit
Higher or Lower Worlds and return to their bodies with their memories intact?
Many consider the accounts of these journeys mere dreams and hallucinations. But
those who have undergone the profound experience have, in almost all cases,
turned their lives around. Precisely, such experiences provide us with necessary
insights and proofs of the Greater World that is to come. And they are given to
us so that we may better prepare for the life that will follow this life
because, make no mistake, life after death is certain and there, we
can only receive that which we justly deserve.
In closing, it is time we all realized that this
Earth is a World of Illusion. It is fantasy and make believe. It is transient
and impermanent. But the invisible world is the real world. And when we
die and leave our bodies, after all the trials and tribulations, we will enter
into the Reality where the unspeakable beauty and the eternal gloriousness of
the Heaven Life wait for us all.
