Psychic Abilities – (Paranormal – Part 4)

Updated on January 25, 2013

Psychic peek into the future

When you look at the future, it changes, and that changes everything else.”

……One of the best dialogues of my favorite actor, Nicholas Cage in the movie ‘Next’. This statement must have had some weight, as the movie started and ended with this one-liner in the backdrop. I have deepest admiration for the person who conceived this thought. If you think about it, you’ll see a lot of truth attached to this statement. Speaking for myself, there have so many instances in my life when I have acted upon my visions and taken a giant leap without even knowing where I would end up. The only thing that I knew before acting on my instincts was that ‘it needs to be done’. It was a kind of double-edged weapon for me as, when those events (which I had seen with my eyes closed) didn’t come true, I used to doubt by instincts and curse myself for making that significant effort to change my prevailing situations / surroundings, but at the same time, a feeling of peace reigned in my heart as the events which I had feared the most, never occurred. I could never understand how my visions, on which I had so much trust, could fail me until I saw the movie (Next). It suddenly dawned on me that by subconsciously obeying the voice in my head, I might have (unknowingly) changed the course of certain disasters which were bound to knock at my door and destroy all that I possessed. Intriguing, yet an undeniably hard fact of my life!

Psychic Abilities – Backdrop

The word ‘Psychic’ is taken from a Greek work ‘psychitos’ (of the mind or mental) and refers to human mind or psyche. The ability to see future (best known as fortune telling) dates back to ancient times when people used to be overawed and mystified by the (almost) accurate results of astrological readings. The science of planets and their overall effect on human beings has always been a subject of huge interest to the physicists, astronomers and even to a common man. In olden times, people believed in ‘heavens’ playing a vital role in deciding the future of every being, existing on the Earth but as we stepped into the scientific age (of quantum physics), the astrologers started using their vision / clairvoyance in conjunction with the knowledge offered by the scientists regarding the planetary positions and their placement in an individual’s natal chart at the time of his birth. It became easier for the clairvoyants and psychics to give faster and accurate readings while looking into the future of their clients. Psychic abilities work in different ways with different people. Some try to work consciously (having all the tools in front of them) to analyze the future happenings in the life of a particular individual while for the others, it just comes naturally. In fact, for the latter group, they don’t see things when they force themselves to do so; they have to depend on some particular place or a particular time when the visions get triggered off.  A typical example of such natural psychic ability is laid out in Delphic Oracle (Greek mythology). The Pythia, priestess, presiding over the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi was believed to deliver prophecies in a frenzied state induced by vapors rising from the ground and then she used to speak gibberish which was believed to be the voice of Apollo, speaking through her. However, some say that she spoke in her own voice and quite intelligibly.

Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce, better known as ‘sleeping prophet’, is said to have had made all his prophecies while in a trance and the best part was that he did not remember even a word of what he had said in his sleep, after he woke up. He became more prominent in United States in the twentieth century. This was a time when people started believing in the authenticity of’ mediums’ and their power to connect with the dead; it was believed that the spirits of the dead could lend insight in various areas concerning the living. Edgar Cayce used to answer all the questions and concerns in his sleep. Apart from his noteworthy contribution to the theosophical society, Cayce upheld and validated the doctrine of ‘incarnation’ which Egyptians and Hindus staunchly believed in. In one of his writings he clearly mentioned that “The body is only the vehicle ever of that spirit and soul that wafts through all times and ever remain the same." He could reply to any question ranging from health, politics, and economics to digging oil from the Earth. Cayce, in his last days moved to Virginia where he was said to have increased his daily psychic readings which took a toll on his health. He is said to have mentioned about the little voice in his head warning him of dire consequences in case he did not reduce the number of readings per day. Edgar Cayce, the world renowned, Psychic and clairvoyant died of a stroke in January 1945 in Virginia, leaving behind a huge resource of his prophecies and astonishing insight into the human psyche. His followers run more than 25 Edgar Cayce centers across United States.

Nostradamus

His French counterpart Nostradamus was no less popular than Cayce. Nostradamus is believed to have written all his prophecies in an enigmatic and coded language which, even 500 years after his death, have still not been interpreted or decoded completely. He is believed to have predicted all major events including World War I, friendly ties between Russia and United States, global economic recession, the 9/11 disaster, advent of anti-Christ in the form of Napoleon, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden, religious wars, conflict between US and Iran, and many more such terrible events which we humans can never be proud of. Most of his prophecies have been unraveled only after the mishap took place. His critics challenged the validity of his predictions as they thought the prophecies to be of no use if they could not be interpreted before the happenings. The followers of Nostradamus believe that the latter lived in a period where the Churches had been vested with unfettered powers and as such he did not want to be slain for anything which appeared as unacceptable to those in power. Nostradamus, deliberately, recorded his prophecies in a way that would help a ‘good man’ to change the future if he could decode the message therein and prevent a ‘bad man’ to misuse the predictions for his own benefit.

Psychic readings—my opinion

Speaking of my opinion, I have no doubts about the psychic visions and clairvoyance. I have met psychics who have the capability to make anyone’s jaw drop by the revelations they make about past and the future. Such is the power of Extra Sensory Perception (ESP). Entering into someone’s consciousness or crossing the time zone to see events before they actually happen can be intriguing enough for any ordinary human being. That makes me wonder if we can go against the conventional belief of ‘destiny cannot be changed’ and actually change it by changing the events which are destined to occur in future. Again, I wonder if we have to compensate in some way or the other, for going against Nature (destiny) and making things happen for us. After all there are no free lunches here. All big things come with a price tag---that’s what is said. Does Universe practice ‘Barter system’? Is it that we gain one particular thing, at the cost some other precious thing which we are forced to part with? Is it a way of maintaining balance in the preordained treasure which we are blessed with, at the time of our birth? I’m not sure. What do you think?
