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.

Psychics – Real or Fraudulent?

It is really easy to be a skeptic – I’m sure there are plenty of people who check out this blog and think I’ve lost my mind! Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ve worked in law enforcement, so I think I have a healthy dose of skepticism for all things paranormal and always cast an eye of caution towards individuals claiming to help to find the dead.

I used to think it was pretty weird that people could connect with dead people who need to be found, until it happened to me. Without going into detail, I can honestly say that it is possible to connect with the dead, and when you least expect it. My story is pretty simple: I’ve had “abilities” since I was about 11 years old and I’ve had intermittent experiences for most of my adult life (some 30 years now). Personally, I don’t get involved in any investigations other than helping out as a civilian when things arise in my area. The bottom line: I don’t advertise any services.

Obviously, I’m fascinated by other people who have similar abilities, especially those that have demonstrated abilities and have worked with law enforcement to solve crimes and recover the dead. I’ve read on some other websites that there is no evidence of this, but there is. There are psychics that have helped law enforcement, and you can see their stories, including the officers who they work with, on Psychic Investigators.

I urge you to check out this television show’s website if for no other reason than curiosity. The shows are pretty interesting to watch, especially if you have an interest in how missing persons/homicide investigations are worked and solved. Some cases are solved by psychics who live hundreds of miles away from where the crimes have taken place – pretty amazing by anyone’s standards.
