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?

Understanding Psychic Power

By Mary Argant

I once knew a girl in school who could sometimes and quite accurately tell us things like whether a teacher would be absent that day or her own marks in a certain paper before the results. Though we held her in awe but never really thought much about her abilities except concluding the phenomenon as a exceptionally good gut feeling. Well, now when I come to think of it, my childhood friend was a psychic having a well developed psychic power of precognition.

Psychic power refers to the ability of perceiving information from one's surroundings which are otherwise hidden from the five sensory organs. Thus, a person can be termed a psychic if he/she has the special ability to see, hear, feel or know certain things which other people cannot. Commonly known as extra sensory perception, psychic powers are believed to be born with or developed after a tragic near death experience or a major event in a person's life which might have turned him towards a spiritual lane. Whatever might be its origin, it has a profound impact on the person's life being perceived as either a special gift or a curse.

Various types of psychic powers exist in the world. The most common being those of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. While telepathy involves perceiving and knowing the thoughts of another person, clairvoyance refers to seeing things which are far away or are otherwise not available to you or anybody else. Precognition on the other hand is the psychic power of predicting future events.

In case of telepathy, the psychic is able to know what is going on in another person's mind or what he is feeling. This power varies from a level of mere knowing what he feels or wants to do, to an advanced level where the psychic can infuse his own thoughts into the his mind.

Clairvoyance comes from the word 'Clear Viewing', hence it is the psychic power by which the psychic can see persons or things which are hidden or are thousands of miles away. Also known as 'Remote Viewing' this power helps in only 'seeing' while that of the psychic powers of clairaudience and clairsentience are powers to 'hear' or 'know' under the same conditions.

Precognition on the other hand refers to the psychic power to foresee future events and predicting the same. Since human beings have an innate desire to know about his/her future, this psychic power is the most popular and psychics possessing this are in great demand.

Other rare but important types of psychic powers include psychokinesis, the power to move matter with the power of thought; levitation or the ability to get your body to ascend from the ground; aura reading, the power to perceive the energy fields emitting from another person; astral projection, involving leaving your own body and traveling to another place in spirit and lastly channeling, or the power to act as a medium to any outside intelligence or spirits.

If you are a psychic, chances are that you take yourself to be either gifted or cursed. Always remember that psychic powers are extremely rare and are special abilities that not many people are born with. Hence, consider it as a blessing and try to make it come useful for the betterment of others.
