Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How Anyone Can Undergo Psychic Development

By Angeline Tribe

The idea of psychic powers is one that's been in our world for untold millennia. Many people wish to undertake their own psychic development in order to have the abilities that most associate with the word. However, the actual abilities and their nature are far from what we've grown to think of them. Our modern world has belittled these abilities that every human has and has made them out to be nothing more than cheap magical tricks.

When starting out with your psychic development remember to keep in mind that what we have seen isn't everything. As humans we think, all too often, that we are alone in the cosmos. And the ultimate authority.

To awaken your latent psychic abilities is the first step and to understanding you are but a very tiny piece of a much larger picture puzzle. To believe that one can command all unseen powers of the universe is arrogant, foolish and all to often a dangerous idea.

The first thing that comes to your mind, as you think of psychic powers, might be the telephone psychic, people who deal with the deceased, get rich quick schemes and all too often cheap magic tricks. This is the modern worlds vision of a psychic. This version of what a psychic is gives the legitimate psychic a bad reputation. Legitimate claims by an individual have been scoffed at and they have been given names like religious nuts, put into the cultist category and persecuted by major religions of the world.

The idea that psychic development is something that's bad or even evil is completely false. As mentioned, every human is capable of having and using these abilities. There are two main things that you must have in order to even begin to wrap your mind around the idea of these powers. The first is unyielding faith in yourself and the second is a flexible mind.

Psychic abilities are not mystical or even magical. They go beyond our world, as we know it, and often labeled as magic tricks. The development of psychic abilities requires only that you accept unscientific and unorthodox things as being true. Accepting that the mind is much more powerful than you've been led believe is the first step in the process.

Looking back to the history of many religions, empires and groups of people, all of whom had individuals such as prophets and mystics. These individuals has special or unusual abilities. They could do things and see things that, in today's world, we consider absurd. These abilities enabled them to heal wounds, see into the future, summoning and then work with beings of pure energy and even sometimes work with the deceased.

Although working with the deceased sounds rather creepy, it does have a legitimate purpose. When people die they have ties to the world of the living, loved ones, issues that have not been resolved. This prevents them from moving on and causes them misery and pain. A psychic working in this area tries to help the unfortunate soles so they can be released from this world and move on to the next dimension.

Keeping in mind that this isn't some current fad or trend or something cool. Using these abilities to work with peoples souls requires a great deal of responsibility. This ability is not for your own entertainment and not to be taken lightly. If you feel you can accept this responsibility, then there are some things you need to know to begin the process of learning.

At the beginning of developing your psychic ability, it may seem like nothing is working. This is normal...it takes time to bring down barriers forced upon us by the modern beliefs of society. Concepts of good and evil, religious morality and the fear of something that is different. These are all some of the challenges faced.

You can begin to tear down these barriers by meditating every day and looking inside yourself. The meditation ritual is up to you, whatever relaxes you and opens you to the universe.

Remember this is your own personal journey, what works for others might not work for you. Just remember to have patience and never get frustrated.

Once you have opened your mind and have accepted certain truths and ideas, you will experience other related things of the psychic development process. OBE's, lucid dreams and other such related interesting events will be some of your experiences. Remember, you and the universe are connected. It will guide you - respect it.

Can You Pass A Psychic Test?

By Adrian Bonnie

There is a difference between normal people and psychics and that is the senses that are more developed. The average senses that we all rely upon on a daily basis like smell, sight, touch, hearing and taste are much more sensitive in someone who is psychic. This allows them to experience things that other people may not be able to.

Psychics are able to touch an object or even enter a room with strong psychic vibrations and see events from the past, present and future or to commune with the dead. With a psychic test, everyone can learn how to develop their 5 senses and become more aware of and in tune with their psychic abilities.

A simple psychic test you can try is by using several decks of psychic cards. These cards might include colors, symbols, geometrical shapes, numbers, animals, or faces. To test your ability to predict the future, shuffle the cards then stack them in front of you. Touch the card on the top of the deck and focus on thinking about what the color, animal, or other figure on the card will be.

Avoid trying to rush and force the answer. Instead, slow down and relax your mind. Images or words may filter into your mind, giving you a clue to what the card on top of the deck is. Guess your answer out loud before turning over the card and try out a few trials first before you start keeping score. Being able to guess more than half of the cards correctly indicates undeveloped psychic talents that should be explored.

To focus on seeing into the past there is another fairly easy test that you can perform but you will need to have someone that is willing to volunteer as an assistant. Find a family member or friend that you do not already know a great deal about their past and ask them if you can give them a free reading. You will be working on your psychic intuition and will need it to be able to provide results that are accurate.

Psychic intuition is the ability to instantly see into another person and come to correct conclusions about their life. It also applies to having advance knowledge about an event before it happens. You probably already do this all the time. How many times have you already known who was at the front door before answering it? Ever answered the phone and just knew that someone you loved had been hurt before anyone had spoken a word?

To develop intuition so you can conduct a psychic test, start by learning to read psychic auras. Auras refer to the energy field or life force that surrounds each of us and appears as an ethereal light. The colors seen in a person's aura indicate their current mood, their personality, and health. Psychics can see auras as well as sense their presence.

How many times have you stood beside someone in a line and just been able to feel their anger and frustration over having to wait? Or have you ever walked into a room after a fight and felt the negative energy in the air? If so, you have the ability to sense auras. To sense auras at any time, try physically holding the hand of the person receiving a reading and using soothing music during the session.

As you listen to the music, shut your eyes and you will begin to pick up on the vibrations. There is an original frequency for each and every color and once you begin to feel these vibrations, be prepared to feel the emotions that go along with it. The emotions will be emitted from the person that is receiving the reading. After you have relaxed and sensed the vibrations for a few minutes, open your eyes and take a look at the person to see if you can see their color aura. Place them in a chair right in front of you and perform this test in a place that you will have a background that is white and that the lights are very neutral in color. This will assist you in your psychic test.

Look easily at the subject and do not stare very hard at them. You could cause eye strain and not be able to see the aura. Put all of your focus onto one particular spot on the subjects face. This could be their forehead if you wanted. Focus your gaze in on that one spot for a minimum of thirty seconds and do not shift your eyes from that spot. As you hold your gaze you should be able to see the aura that is surrounding them and should be able to see the colors.

Though you may be giving a psychic reading, this does not mean that the person receiving the reading should be silent. When the participant is engaged in the reading, the results will be more accurate. To get the psychic test started ask basic questions such as first name and what information they seek. This will guide you in interpreting the visions you see.

Through practice, dedication and belief in your abilities a psychic test can give you an accurate guidance into your current level of psychic ability. Use regularly to strengthen these abilities and unlock all your psychic powers.
