IS TRUE THAT everyone is psychic. Our psychic and intuitive
perception is god given. These things are natural to us when we are
born of body. They reside within the lower three chakras of the etheric
consciousness, emotional consciousness and astral consciousness.
Often called instinct and feeling, the psychic abilities within each
of us keep us alive survivally. Most people refer to them as their gut
feeling. Spiritual people refer to them as their intuition. Either way
all humans are born with them.
So what happens to these abilities as humans grow and develop? They
are generally taught to use them only in their most basic form. Present
day life disregards sense perception as a necessary form of development.
It is seen as superstition, imagination and other worldly experience.
Fear based, present life teaching and programming comes from the adult
every day world surrounding us. We are brought up as children not in
an environment of multiplicity that acknowledges the feeling sense as
primary to any use other than our most basic survival.
When first born till the age of four all humans not only have the ability
to see and experience the astral plane and its inhabitants, but spend
a lot of time doing so. Young children still have recollection of where
they were before incarnating this round, as well as memories of other
incarnations. Because the rational mind is under-developed during these
early stages of life, it does not yet have the developed capacity to
assimilate experiences as an adult mind does. Certain cultures advocate
methods of teaching that help their young learn how to reflect and remember
their experiences as they grow. In this way these experiences will be
properly assimilated later in life.  Some
cultures teach their youth the importance of dreams, visions and to
learn to interpret them. In modern times, these cultures are rare.
In the modern world things such as dreams and visions hold little if
any daily importance. Children are taught that dreams are not real and
visions are imagination. Little if anything is taught or learned concerning
individuals as soul. Because of this children now often experience night
terrors and many people have developed sleep disorders.
Let's look for a minute at the journey of the soul into the womb of
human conception. Metaphysics teaches us that as a soul being, we choose
our parents and environment before re-incarnating. This teaching is
misunderstood because it is often taken literally to mean that we actually
pick out the people in life that will play these roles. What is actually
chosen by us, are the experiences needed to complete the next rung of
the ladder in our own physical and soul evolution. Our need for this
set of experiences was determined by our soul during previous incarnations.
There are many things that factor into our choice of experiences in
one lifetime; most are to accelerate our soul process.
This is why we do not choose the individuals that will be our parents
but the experiences these beings present to aid us with our karma. The
people whose lives we enter also have soul experiences that are needed
with ours and resonate with us.
When the soul enters the womb of a physical mother it merges with her
and the father's DNA to receive its blueprint of what its life is to
be about. Whatever the mother experiences and feels during the pregnancy
is taken on by the child as its earliest memories of personality before
being born. Because during this phase of life the new individual restores
itself to where it left off learning in the previous physical incarnation,
I call this karma.
To assume that when we die we go to a better and more spiritual plane
of learning and then assume that we no longer need to continue where
we left off in our physical learning last lifetime, is absurd.
Each plane of learning is what it is, and even though they are all interconnected,
they still hold individual learning that needs be fulfilled before true
ascension can occur. These are Universal Truths that cannot be superceded
simply because we do not like or agree with them.
So we choose our parents not because of the love they will give us but
because of the lessons we ourselves have not yet overcome the need for
as a human being. When born we are at the mercy of these seeming strangers
and their environment. All life seems quite foreign to us as we just
came from a place where all our needs were simply met as they arose.
Now we must obtain what we need to survive physically. Things such as,
food, clothing, shelter, love, compassion and kindness, are necessities
we had forgotten about. If the family we are born into does not normally
have or share these things, we will do without them. Our formative years
will be lived as an animal in the wild and we will believe that we too
are wild and unruly. If the family you are born into is organized, educated
and loving, then you too will experience this energy and be taught to
develop in this manner.
Now let us say that you are born to parents who are spiritually aware
of themselves and the Universe as a whole. Entering the womb in this
manner would be like being home, safe, loved and understood. Even the
trauma of birth would subside by the loving connection the parent has
already attained within life. The parent would have already established
an energy of loving support and safety in the home you are sleeping
and eating in, as well as understanding and communicating with you knowingly
telepathically all the time. There would be a sense of peace established
early on as well as sense of safety and security.
If in your last round of incarnations you yourself had reached such
a state of awareness this indeed would be your experience.
Instead, most parents create a dependent sense of security within their
children rather than a natural sense. This they do because they know
no differently. That was their experience and they maintain it. The
natural sense perception they were born with, is not part of their remembered
reality. They establish security based on fear, not love. This doesn’t
happen because parents don’t believe they love their children,
but because they know no other way. Thus the pattern thrives of dependency
upon others out of fear of loneliness.
While very young we are like sponges, sucking up on  all
the energies around us. This is how we develop our sense perception.
Other children surrounding us are also going through their own experiences
and are often combative. Just as animals in the jungle learn to survive
and fend for themselves, so do we.
If we have parents who have developed their sense perception already,
we are taught love and enlightenment early on. We are taught to think
for ourselves and to use compassion and common sense when dealing with
the rest of the world.
When born to parents who have stifled their sense perception we are
taught that we are strange and weird and that we must conform to what
the world recognizes as normal. We are taught to go against our natural
sense perception.
In an ideal world we would be taught how to blend the two.
Since so few of us were born to parents aware of their sense perception,
we had to re-start the process later on in life to free ourselves from
the stifling existence our childhood’s produced.
We had to go outside the so-called “norm” to begin searching
and finding a true purpose and meaning to our life. We had to travel
beyond what was known to us and into the unknown to learn to overcome
our fear. We had to discover our own inner sense perception and begin
using it anew.
Metaphysics teaches us that we are gods. It teaches us that we are the
creators of life and all the experiences therein. This being true then
it is mandatory for us to not only comprehend what this means but to
live it. Using our god given natural sense perception is key.
Sense perception and telepathy are strongly related. Without sense perception,
there is no telepathy. When sense perception is distorted by our life
path experiences, we receive all kinds of meaningless and distorted
messages. We then convince ourselves that our intuition is useless.
We have not yet learned how to clear our mind and thought of the distortions
we have accepted as truth during our present incarnation. We expect
a miracle to occur so that all the inner distortion be simply magically
removed. We forget about the journey of life and karma and just want
salvation. When this does not immediately take place we decide that
we cannot trust what we feel and ascribe intuition to superstition.
This is another distortion of truth.
Most people think that true sense perception is being able to see the
future. They often believe in the intuition of others and not their
own. We are actually seeing the future everyday by being observant in
the present. If indeed it is true that history repeats itself, and strong
evidence supports this theory, then we are looking at the future daily.
It is not the ability to see the future that one should want to develop,
but the ability to change it.
 Re-acquainting
yourself to your sense perception and its development are the key elements
to achieving this. Sense perception is unending and continual. It is
connected in with the “all” and “whole of life”.
It is linked to the awareness and genius of all planes of existence,
those that can be seen or not. It delves into the mysteries of life
itself on planes of awareness established long before the earth existed
and far beyond its demise. It is natural and genuine, just as you were
designed to be, if you so choose.
Everyone loves a newborn baby when they meet it. This is because the
baby is yet unconditioned by the exterior world around it. The baby
is still telepathic and unconditional. As an adult, is it a huge undertaking
to find and re-establish these things within self? Only the boldest
and strongest will succeed.
Humans wish their worth to be recognized by their lower mind, their
rational being. Their need for approval supercedes their desire to know
themselves to be the universe of light that they are. They are afraid
of being different and alone in life. They believe that they need the
security they have been taught life is and will not explore other possibilities
they believe to be outlandish and superstitious.
To all of you I would say, before you were incarnated you were nothing
but sense perception. Somewhere within you is this memory, for truly
you have spent more time within sense perception than you have within
physical existence. The only journey and path of life is to get in touch
with this memory and develop and integrate into the experiences you
are now having.
I only know of one way to do this and that is to go within. This can
only be accomplished through hypnosis and meditation, done correctly.
I say this because the states of consciousness you are trying to tap
and remember dwell within your soul and you can only access them by
reaching a trance state. The logical mind will never grasp these concepts
in their entirety, only sense perception can do this
