Psychic Kids – Gifted or Posessed?

I guess you could say that this is a follow-up to yesterday’s post. I was reading some other posts around the net about Halloween, Ghosts and random thoughts on psychics. I was thinking about what I had read regarding the children who can see ghosts, and how some fundamentalist Christians believe they are possessed by demons. Personally, I have to disagree, and yes, I’m also a Christian. I think many people “read between the lines” passages from the Bible and infer what they want. If enough people say the same thing, eventually it becomes a “truth,” even if it isn’t a direct quote from the Bible. And before everyone whips out their Bible, I would like to remind everyone that the Bible wasn’t originally written in English, nor had it been edited to suit certain rulers of our time (hint: King James)… and if we have to remember a quote from the Bible, how about, “judge not lest ye be judged.”

However, I don’t want this to be a lesson on the scripture.

Most children who are considered gifted psychically don’t use Ouija boards, tarot cards or worship the devil. They simply see things that are going on around us, they are more aware. If we currently only use 33 percent of our brain, what makes us so sure that if we used even 50 percent of our brain that many of us wouldn’t be able to see the same things? Why is it so hard to believe that our spirits could move onto a different plane of existence, as opposed to lying as ashes in a box in the ground, unable to escape until God calls us home? Isn’t it possible that our spirits could be freed from their earth bound bodies upon death?

I don’t believe that spirits of those that have gone before us do only one of the following: either they go to heaven/hell, never to see us again until we die, or they hover around us or a favorite place, unable to go anywhere else. I believe they do a combination of both- why would our free will end when we die? I don’t believe God rescinds this upon death.

I guess I’m concerned when certain people want to decide for the rest of us that their way is the best way, and they are free to interpret the Bible how they choose and foist those beliefs upon us. I don’t want to believe that they would be willing to cause harm to someone, especially children, because they can’t believe in alternate existence theories. I think we are all still children in this universe, and we will constantly evolve and understand more about the universe we live in. For centuries people have said that certain things can’t be possible, yet the impossible continues to happen.

As a Catholic, we believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost – a little heavy on the ghost part in my case.

Haunted Breast Implants

Okay, on the humorous side, this headline definitely caught my eye.  I had to think about how breast implants could become haunted in the first place.  Did surgeons re-use breast implants from dead people?  Did an evil spirit take up residence in silicone?  Just how exactly does one discover they have haunted breast implants to begin with?  Do  they start doing things independent of normal movement?  Do they twirl like a stripper’s pasties?

If you are tittering hopelessly by now, you aren’t alone.  As it turns out, this was a telephone prank pulled by Crank Yankers (Comedy Central) on a paranormal investigator.
