Spiritualism

[kazza1985]

The word in the title can have different meanings to different people. What does it mean to you?

I am a spiritual person. I am trying to better myself and develop on a personal level. I meditate and still my mind. When I got with my ex, he was quite the atheist and I suppressed my beliefs and meditation etc

I am single again now and back on my spiritual path. I am a natural empath and pick up on the physical feelings experienced by close friends and families. My mum can vouch that I had my best friends pregnancy symptoms and claimed she was pregnant and I was right. I then had a dream that night in which her deceased mother came to me, took a child from me and handed it to her daughter. This was when I knew something was there and I was interested in developing. Psychics do claim that everyone has a gift and they just need to open it and be receptive.

When I meditate, my empathic abilities extend further than physical feelings and only those I am close to emotionally.

I have visited a psychic in the past and everything she has said has come true and I know for a fact she was not cold reading me. She told me events that came true following my meeting with her. I also read the tarot and angel cards and always get an accurate reading.

What are other peoples experiences of psychic phenomena? Or anyone feel free to say you think its a lot of crap... I'm sure you won't hold back

^^^She sees dead people

Actually when she was a baby she used to seem to be acknowledging other presences.

And my youngest, she knew things she was never taught at an age it would've been impossible to learn from the family members.



A word to anyone not believing in something: it is healthy both psychologically and physically to still your mind and meditate.

Most are charlatans but i still remember 2 events vividly.
We had a shop and this old Indian came in with a load of crappy scarves and ties and asked me if I wanted to buy one. I looked at them and said 'No thanks' My Father walked in and hissed 'Buy one!' I looked at him and he said 'Take money out of till and buy one' so I did and the Indian smiled and told me things I hadn't even admitted to myself' Apparently , he came round every few years and had 'the gift'

My parents then bought a small guest house. One night there was about 9 in the bar chatting, at the end of the night this fellow told everyone their 'birth'sign' he hesitated at my sister and said he couldn't work out between 2. She was born when the 2 changed. So he was 100% right so yes some can, but most who have the gift give it away or like the Indian charge a v small fee and didn't charge for the prediction he charged for something (I've never worn the crappy tie but still have it)

I SAW dead people. I don't any more. Maybe one day I will again.

Geoff, sorry I disagree. That is a very sweeping statement to say that most are charlatans. No they are not. Some are charlatans and fake. I don't believe people who do have a gift should be using it to make a living but thats their decision, doesn't make them fake just because that is the path they choose. I have spoken to several psychics. Only one of whom I have absolute faith in and she lives in the village that I live in and she is fantastic. She told me things about my mum, my ex, my daughter, myself; things that she wouldn't have known, they weren't statements that could have applied to anyone and the names reeled off, she linked in with events happening to that person... for example telling me I knew a Katy who would have a baby brother in the next couple of weeks (My best friends was pregnant and her daughter was named Katy). It wasn't just a few things either, there were a lot of things.

Most are ! most =50%+

some genuine ones but a lot work on assumptions

Nice post Kay. I firmly believe that some people are naturally gifted. My closes friends joke I am a witch and have since I was a little girl. I don't have empath capabilities, although I think most of us feel it inside when a loved one is in pain. I do however dream things as they happen or before on occasion. Definitely more than mere coincidence. I am a firm believer in mind over matter and have daily affirmations. Do i believe in a higher power? Yes.

I dont believe in Ghosts, I live in a so called haunted village and despite a liking for beer i haven't seen anything ghostly and I doubt I ever will. Funny people think im a nut, ironic I think.
looool

Spiritualism = ONENESS

I don't know how to explain it, but I've always been "in tune" with some wild things.

When I was younger, there were 5 different ocassions that really freaked out my 2 best friends. One morning for some reason I couldn't stop singing "Return to Sender" by Elvis, my friends were starting to get pissed at me. LOL Later that day we found out that Elvis had died just a few hours before I started singing. The other 4 times I had someone stuck in my head, and spent the morning/whole day doing impressions of them only to find out later that day that that person had died. The 4 were, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Durante, John Wayne, and Groucho Marx.

The most realistic dream I ever had was when I was in highschool. I was dreaming that I was in a sword fight with one of those huge Arabian Nights type of guys(btw, this was before Indiana Jones shot his LOL), and I won the fight, but as he was falling he stabbed me in the upper leg. Less than 2 months later that was the exact place that I got shot.

In the early 90's I was with a friend and his family out on their farm, watching a meteor shower. He had me tell his family the story of when I was shot, and how I had died twice on the operating table. His aunt asked me if I'd had any kind of paranormal experiences since my "near death" experience, and I said yes. I told them that just a few days before I was watching Oprah interview Michael Jackson on live tv, and that I all of a sudden got this very weird feeling that something bad was going to happen to him. It was just a short time later that my friend started believing me. That's when Michael was first accussed of being a pedophile.

Around the same time I was working as a pizza delivery guy. My car didn't have A/C so in the summer I always had to have the windows down. I'd been working there for a few months and it was well known how lucky I'd been that it never rained on nights when I worked, or else I'd have had to roll up my windows. Then one night a huge storm was rolling in and the owners(very religious people btw) were teasing me that I wasn't going to escape this one. As the 2 owners and myself were outside looking at the storm closing in, I said, "hey, no problem", and I raised my arms like I was Moses parting the Red Sea and said, "I'll part the clouds". As I was making my deliveries, they were watching the storm on the news. They freaked out when the radar showed that the storm literally split into 2 parts going just to the north and the south of our delivery area. Of course we "knew" it was just a MAJOR coinsidence, but then I did it 2 more times in the comming weeks! It even had ME freaking out, because I was just doing it as a joke and never even thought that I was actually directing the storms. Yet to this day I've had it happen several more times.


This is long I know. LOL
