I Am Uncertain Of What Abilities I Have

This entire existence is basically one energy, one tone or one verse (>universe<) which is just about unlimited in its vastness and complexity. To learn more about your spiritual body is to travel down a road many have been down, but one that you will remake for yourself. If you are a Christian, bear in mind your place in God's kingdom -- you do not open yourself to the outer energies of the world, or to spirits without his divine guidance, and you perform no acts with your energy that aren't necessary or clerical. There may be reasons for this, and his ultimate gift to humanity was making them ignorant of the true nature of things, so you should maybe pray and query as to whether you have right to involve yourself in the astral... Though you might already be a projection in that unlimited plane, if you experience things like that on a regular basis.

Anyone can be spiritual on the other hand. I am not a Christian -- I know God is real, but he and I have an odd relationship. I'm a lot more arcane than most Reiki practitioners or healers, and I mainly work on focusing my energy, making it tangible, manipulating the things around me on a level that has been haneously-obvious in the past. My goal is to bring myself at a point of unity with my body, mind and spirit after building those parts up to their respectice apexes. Consolidation is an exhale -- remember to never stop breathing.

You'll find there are an infinite number of routes you can choose to take with this -- it's literally limited to your imagination. If you prefer to imagine your form as an animal, or denote what you feel by colors that become visible after a time, or to channel energy in the tradition of a monk in eastern ideologies, you may, but whatever the case, realize every state of mind has a consequence, and know that you will feel things pass into you at first that can range from annoying to debilitating. The advice of prayer is from experience.

by questioning the circumstances, what do you expect to find? Supposing you spend years doing this and end up back where you started. The choice about wether you accept what is happening or question, even fight it is like facing your own demons. Others can put "sticky plasters" on you, but only you can heal yourself.

In my continued reading, I have discovered certain things that I have experienced written by others. I wish I knew the terms or labels for what these experiences are. I am now wondering if I might also have a bio-kinetic ability. Will anyone help me find some explanatory definitions please?

Anne,

I have read your article and I admit that I personally have not and do not try to discount what my kids report seeing. I also do not follow the belief of my older generations about not talking about what is experienced. I do try to let them know that what they experience should not be easily dismissed and that I also experience 'things'.

I think part of my issue is that I do not know what kind of experiences each, or even one, of these experiences are or are called. I, and my kids, experience things and/or people, but do not know what to call them.

Where should I go to get explanations for what is and has gone on? Religion only covers so much and sometimes it just isn't enough.

Any guidance or suggestions?

Thank you for your input Anne. I will read your article and see if it helps any.

My beliefs are Christian, as far as normal spiritual beliefs go. I do believe in paranormal events and experiences. I can not recall ever not believing in both of these. Maybe I am reluctant to accept that I might be special enough to have any abilities. The possibility does seem far fetched, but I definitely want to understand so that my children do not have to deal with this mind-boggling dilemma themselves.

Any and all input is welcome.

Your beliefs right now seem to be muddled. You've obviously been raised by a family that is fear based (as you say, not wanting to appear abnormal so let's all not talk about things). So you've got that in you as well. But now that you're an adult and a parent, it's time to consider committing yourself to some beliefs - whatever ones you decide serve you at this point in your life. What do you believe in? We can sit here all day and post comments as to how we perceive our own realities and what to think of them, but some of our beliefs will not match yours and so they will just be an interesting side note.

I believe strongly that we are more than our physical bodies. I believe that we are spirits inhabiting a shell and that when we die we'll shed that shell and move on to the next phase. Being spirits, we can sometimes perceive more than our normal senses, including dreams that come true, hearing other spirits (makes sense that a spirit can hear another spirit). And so on. My beliefs allow me to be open to the paranormal. It's not scary, weird or stupid. It's my reality. My reality has also confirmed my beliefs to be true. I leave my body and confirm details, hear spirits, see the future and so on. Not much to debate on my end. I'm well beyond the "Am I crazy" or "Is this real" phase but that all started with believing in what I was experiencing and not discrediting it based on what others may say.

What are your 'abilities'? They are like all of ours. Everyone is a spirit so everyone has varying degrees of experiencing what that is. It all varies depending on how open they are, their beliefs, their fear, upbringing, the work they put into themselves once mature, and so on. You fit right in here because you're a spirit too. At the core, we are all the same so we all have the same potential for what the spirit, while encased in a body, can experience.

Your children haven't been indoctrinated into fear based paradigms yet. Most children are open until their parents shut them down. Again, you have to pick your beliefs and hopefully share them with your children as you see fit. You may or may not find it helpful, but I wrote an article here called, "Help, I think my child is psychic".
