With the dawning of a New Age of Enlightenment, everyday, a wealth of new
information continues to filter in to the world. All the mysteries are
unfolding in our midst. Many things previously unknown, even feared, can now be
known and understood.
Today, we are learning that psychic phenomena are perfectly natural occurrences.
We learn that psychic properties are inherent although latent in everyone.
While the five senses derive from the normal functioning of our physical sense
organs, psychic perception and psychic abilities relate directly to our inner,
spiritual faculties. We need not be afraid of these phenomena; instead, we
merely need to understand more. And we should also realize that if we so
desire, these faculties are capable of further development.
The more spiritual aspects of psychic phenomena may not as yet be acceptable to
many of our scientists since their studies are confined almost exclusively to
the realm of physical things. However, without being too scientific, let us
consider a few of the principles or theories, if you prefer, now given to
explain them.
We are what we think we are. It is possible so long as we think that it is
possible. In fact, all matter and all things have come into being only as a
consequence of thought. "Thought is the builder," according to Edgar
Cayce.
Thought creates. Really, whatever name you may wish to call it,
consciousness, intelligence or thought reigns supreme. And the application of
this principle on matter is what we now term as psychokinesis or PK.
And, precisely, this is the same principle that Christ employed when he was yet
with us. He transformed plain water into excellent wine. He multiplied a few
loaves of bread and fish to feed thousands. He commanded the forces of nature
and they acceded to his commands, even storms and such. All these he was able
to do by simply availing of this creative force. As it relates to diverse forms
of these phenomena, the mechanics may vary but the same basic principles apply.
Psychic senses operate in much the same manner as radio and television. A
sound, a picture, a thought and even a feeling or an emotion can be captured or
encoded in a particular impulse, signal or vibration and transmitted abroad.
And these sounds and pictures can then be received or the signals decoded by an
appropriate instrument. However, until now, psychic vibrations are still well
over the range of our most sensitive receivers. But those humans who are able
to detect these higher vibrations are those whom we now know as psychics,
mediums and clairvoyants.
Christ, just as the prophets before him, demonstrated these very same
faculties. He knew before they actually happened that Judas would betray him
and that Peter would deny him. Moreover, his display of unerring knowledge with
respect to certain other persons like Philip and Zacchaeus are similar proofs
of his clairvoyant faculties.
In the area of healing, when Christ laid his hands on the sick, he charged them
with his own recreative energy, which is simply something like recharging a
depleted or dead car battery.
We should also realize that all matter is not really "solid" but,
instead, is merely a conjoining of many separate and individual molecules and
atoms. We know from science that when the rate of vibration of matter changes,
then the state of that matter changes as well, be it from solid to liquid or to
gas. And when this happens, the properties of such matter change drastically.
We need only to consider the differences in the properties of ice, water and
steam to demonstrate this fact, because all of these three are the same
substance except that they are in different states.
In the case of psychic surgery, a significant increase in psychic energy
tending to increase the rate of vibration of tissue cells has been noted during
psychic operations. And then as if by magic, suddenly, the cells can easily be
parted, and many things that could not have been done are then made possible,
in like manner that ice can be parted much more easily after it has melted into
water.
And what about those near death experiences or out-of-body-experiences where
some have had the enviable opportunity to visit Higher or Lower Worlds and
return to their bodies with their memories intact? Many consider the accounts
of these journeys mere dreams and hallucinations. But those who have undergone
the profound experience have, in almost all cases, turned their lives around.
Precisely, such experiences provide us with necessary insights and proofs of
the Greater World that is to come. And they are given to us so that we may
better prepare for the life that will follow this life because, make no mistake
,
life after death is certain and there, we can only receive that which we
justly deserve.
In closing, it is time we all realized that this Earth is a World of Illusion.
It is fantasy and make believe. It is transient and impermanent. But
the
invisible world is the real world. And when we die and leave our bodies,
after all the trials and tribulations, we will enter into the Reality where the
unspeakable beauty and the eternal gloriousness of the Heaven Life wait for us
all.
