Good questions. I was recently speaking to my hairdresser who has psychic abilities. She asked me why it seems to be magnified whenever she is close to the ocean--whether she is at an ocean resort or if she is in an airplane flying over the ocean--it is really strong. She knows the persons name sitting next to her, though they do not know each other. She knows the woman is pregnant with a girl, though she is obviously only a few weeks pregnant, because she is not showing. things like this - that really spooks her partner.
WHY? she asks me.
Well first of all, you are in tune with yourself. fully in tune. and being by water magnifies it, because moving water seems to electrify or magnify spirit energy. Or so, I have noticed.
Where do these abilities come from? well, it does seem to be very noticeable in people who have a parent with the same ability, or grandparent. Like in DBs case or mine--it goes back every generation for many generations in each of our family lines. Though, I do believe that everyone has these abilities. Perhaps because we are raised in a family where it is normal to 'know' who is calling, before answering the phone, or what has happened to Aunt Mary, even though she lives hundreds of miles away--we are open and use to it. I don't know for sure, but I feel since we are exposed to it and know not to fear it, we accept it more readily.
I realize for myself, it works better, when I meditate on my rosary and prayers. When I stop--it slows down big time. why? why do I have to meditate, when my friend above only needs to be by running water? or a large body of water? Who knows. perhaps its just a form of what helps us to relax enough to accept the spirit energy? Maybe, just like using tarot cards, or tea leaves, a pendulum or crystals it is just a tool that we've become use to and think we need to have our abilities strong.
Why does it work? because, I think, we are open to it. We will accept it for what it is. that is why it works for me, but my husband doesn't believe, and so he doesn't rely upon it, though I feel he is also very psychically tuned.
I've never died either. I've been awfully sick--with major life threatening things, but never actually died. I don't really know why I can do this. But, I think it is as I mentioned above, because I look at my sister, who is also very psychic and has seen spirits. some who scare the hell out of her and some who don't seem to bother her, because they are family and friends who have passed over. She knows they won't hurt her. however, her visions seem to happen very infrequently and I think it is mostly because she doesn't want to be "different". Seh is so fearful of what others will think of her. Her neighbors and friends mostly. Where as I don't give a hoot what the neighbors, friends or family think of me. And to be honest, the family are the ones who are harder on me for my ablities then the friends I have. Not all the neighbors know, because its not like I run over and knock on their door and ask, "By chance did you have an Aunt Mable and Uncle John who use to fight all the time, and Uncle John finally killed Aunt Mable? because I just saw them and they told me...."
I have approaced some neighbors when their deceased family members came to me. My landlord for instance. his grandmother wouldn't leave me be till I asked him if his grandmother died in the house and was she known for baking brownies? However, I didn't mention it to him till he told me how he was going to see this locally famous psychic's show in town.
Most of my friends 'know' about me. A few do not. I don't tell them unless I have a need to do so. Once, I could see and feel the friends departed father around her, when we were sitting together in Mass. She mentioned after Mass how she was thinking of him, because his death anniversary was coming up and how much she missed him. "He knows that, Kathy. Trust me, he's always around you, watching over you. He loves you and misses you too. I know this. Our loved ones are always with us. he's here now, watching over you and he loves you too." though, the way I delivered it didn't give her the knowledge that I LITERALLY SAW him.
she is not one who would accept my abilities. wouldn't understand them as a God given gift. she'd see it as the devil working through me. so, I deliver the information differently to her. She is happy, her deceased father is happy and I'm 'safe'.
Perhaps, DB, it is that God has given everyone the same amount of abilities in everything, but some people prefer to follow their dancing ability path, others follow the path to sing like an angel, and then there is us--who prefer to follow the spiritual path of knowing and seeing. we may have been able to perfect our dancing skills or singing skills or mathematical brain. but we chose to put all our effort and strength in this area instead. we all have choices. we all have free will. we made a choice and our choices are what helps to make us different, yet, we are still the same. still equal.
