I'm 28 years old and have recently started to have random moments of clarity about things that have happened without anyone telling me.
The first time it happened I was on maternity leave and I had a sudden thought "Skippy Wert is dead." I am a veterinarian & Skippy is a patient of mine that I have no specific connection with other than this. I went to work the next week to show my coworkers my baby & asked about Skippy. They said he was euthanized last week.
A couple weeks ago I was gardening and again had a sudden thought. "Jimmy is getting divorced." Jimmy is a friend of my Dad's & has a traumatic brain injury. I went to his wedding last year. The next day my Mom told me that Jimmy was separated.
I really want to focus this ability as right now it is so random... I don't even know if this is clairsentience - that's just what I looked up online. I am very pragmatic so it is very hard for me to accept this.
I have always been a seeker of the truth so I wonder if this has anything to do with it. I recently started going back to church but have always been skeptical of religion. As a doctor (well a vet) I love critical thinking & evidence based knowledge. I have started praying to the Holy Spirit to help my Mom with her suicidal behavior. I feel this may be opening some kind of channel. Although I go to church I only seek the truth & I pray for that. I hope that is not taboo.
My first step is going to be more meditation & being true to myself, trying to be a good person etc. Does anyone have any advise for a beginner? Hope that good work can be done through me & fear a pathway will be opened for deceitful demons. How do I keep the pathway for truth open but deceit closed?
I respect the supernatural & don't want to invite bad spirits.
Thanks for listening.
It could simply be that it happens to you because you seek the truth about life. I honestly am not sure why it happens to some and not others, but I think it has to do with what each of us want in life. Some people want to be lied to. Some people don't want to know what's going on in the spiritual realm. I think, to a certain extent, it has to do with what we want. Also, we are each different. Some of us are given special gifts to help us on our path. Some of us are also meant to protect others or simply ourselves and need the spiritual information so we can defend ourselves/others.
Over the past few years especially, I have had things similar to your experiences (and I'm about the same age, so I don't know if that matters). You will be visited by both "good" and "evil" spirits. Some spirits that appear to be good may in fact be out to harm you. (Think "good cop/bad cop" scenario.) A few things to keep in mind: 1) Do they help you or hurt you? 2) Do they lie to you or tell you the truth? 3) How does their energy feel? I have been praying for discernment, especially in regards to spiritual matters.
Also, pray for protection and have faith that God/higher power will protect you. This is your reality/realm; you have more power than the spirits.
Even if a spirit may not be good, has he/she tried to harm you or others? If not, it is up to you how you want to treat him/her. Think of it as if you met a human with the same personality and persona, what would you do?
And I'm sorry if the terms "human" and "spirit" offend anyone, I'm not up to date on technical terms for this sorta thing.
If it makes you feel any better, I do believe the spiritual/supernatural side of life has laws just as there are laws in the physical realm and can be explained through science. I just don't think our "modern" technology has evolved enough to prove it yet.
As for helping your mother, prayer does help a lot, but make sure to pray for protection and healing for yourself as well as healing for your mother. Whatever spirits are around her may also need healing, so pray for them, too, but do not leave yourself open to spiritual attack. As sad as it may sound, if your mother doesn't want help you have to respect that because free will is sacred. You can still send love/positive vibes her way, though.
