I am psychic.
Okay, now that you have snorted contemptuously out your nose at me, I re-iterate- I am psychic. So are you, whether you use it or understand the uses for it in your own life. All of us are born with a certain level of clairvoyance or such, a sixth sense, that is actually a built in survival tool. It’s that little bit of something, that if listened to, can help one avoid unhealthy circumstances. When it gets out of hand, one can become paranoid or so fearful that one will not take any chances of any kind, and frankly, that’s not living.
I have a longtime friend who seems to go through more ‘psychic ‘ events than anyone else I have ever heard of, including the famous Edgar Cayce. After awhile he starts to sound hokey, even to me, and I have had a large number of experiences that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. We are not talking ‘ghost stories around the campfire.’ They are bloody hard to describe to anyone who has no similar point of reference, so much of the time I don’t try. I got tired of being looked at strangely and then avoided as a teenager.
My friend (call him Daryn, obviously, not his real name) is a bi-sexual who has always been hyper. I have known him for better than 30 years now, and even before the definition of Adult ADD, he was the poster child for it. I love him to death, despite his ability to hold an entire room captive (and I do not mean that nicely) with his pure verbosity. I have seen him talk almost without breath for better than an hour. One has to figure out ways to get out of the room to get away from him, and even then Daryn has this uncanny ability to know EXACTLY where he left off as one set foot out of earshot......astounding. He should be listed in Guinness.
Anyway, this guy and his 22-year partner go through an astounding array of apparently psychic experiences, some together, some apart, but when looked at from outside the bubble of their world, almost assuredly related to both of them. They are extremely close people, were even more attached to their recently deceased dog, and are both decidedly more emotional than most guys. Daryn himself has a tremendous flair for the overly dramatic, and while he is not a liar, he can embellish very well. That is the sign of a great story teller. Too bad it is almost always self-centered stuff; he rarely can build a similar story about something outside his own world..
My whole point with this is the things he claims to have gone through. Visitations from those who have crossed over to the Summerlands (gone to Heaven for you Judeo-Christian types) are really not that uncommon. Many people will have dreams after such a passing that they do not recognize for what it is. That’s okay. To know the Truth is sometimes too much for those who have chosen a simpler life here. Not everyone needs to see the Light while they are physical. It might actually hinder what they came here for.
Daryn and his partner have had a number of visits from their dog.
Granted, not a whole lot of other creatures on this world were closer to them, and I have had cats I have had reappear here briefly to let me know they were alright on the other side. The way Daryn makes it sound, he’s the new pet psychic......
I am a bit frustrated with his need to be so very different and out spoken about that different-ness, I think. His talk about all his and his partner’s experiences makes it sound like they are the only ones who see with any clarity at all. I suspect they have had things occur, but somewhere along the line, that fish got to be a little bit larger than it was when caught. It’s one thing to have the occasional oddity in your home, and another to claim a point blank poltergeist. Such hauntings have happened, but are vaguely documented, due to the very subject matter. It is very difficult to record, measure, contain the non-physical with physical methods. I learned the foolishness of it while a “guinea pig” for a psychic research group here in town. All their machines, all their measurements, all their questions could not make what I and others do or experience tangible to someone outside of it. I don’t think the researcher I had befriended liked me gently laughing at her attempts to clarify through physical science methods something completely of the non-physical world. I think I did get through to HER, in particular, at least; she quit the company not long after I walked away from the EEG and EKG machines, the half-ping-pong balls over my eyes and the hissing BP cuff on my arm. In retrospect, it all seemed ludicrous. I learned far more from them than they ever got from anything they recorded off me.
Daryn would have convinced himself of the machines ability to capture the experience or perhaps have unconsciously affected the machines where I didn’t. I have “tampered” with a lie-detector, well enough that the examiner knew it, to my own amusement, but that was bio-feedback, not true psychic ability. I have come to believe that Daryn and his partner have got some form of connection that can cause these phenomenon , that it isn’t something from outside themselves. Such things have been documented, though what drives a person to create such things is, of course, unknown.
In my head, it boils down to the fact that there is good reason most of us do not go through such things on such a regular basis. It would be disruptive to most of our lives to have such interruptions. Maybe the belief in what they think has occurred gives these two some ground for their continued relationship- a uniqueness that only they share. I have heard of such things between well-matched couples before. My best friend and I are that way and have been since we met at age 12. I would just like to see some rational thinking I guess from a person who doesn’t come off as always being there.
Oh well. I rant. It is too hard to get a word in when Daryn goes off on his tangents. I know there is a spirit world walking alongside our physical one and that they often overlap. I just don’t think for one minute that one person gets all the messages and the rest of us are supposed to take his word as gospel. I mean, that’s where religion got its start and look at the damage that has done to our world and species.........
Night, folks.
