…a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
Aha! …and so, it came to me…I had written a previous post…Ever heard of good news? In it, I mentioned an article about how Jane McGonigal believes we can create video games that will improve our world.
I was contemplating this, I won’t tell you where, and the sense in it started adding up.
There is a man, who’s name I won’t insert – only because I don’t care for his outlook, who is constantly going on about the negative aspects of the actions of children who play video games. He is in the public eye quite often, usually exaggerating and making big of what is small; jumping on any and every negative action that might be able to be, and some that can’t be, attributed to video game playing.
I have been seeing multiple news items recently, all of which have to do with young males who have gone way beyond bravery in saving people from immanent, life-threatening dangers. I want to know if anyone stopped to ask them if they play video games and I want to know if playing video games can encourage the reflexes and quick thinking it takes to actually get off our duff and lend a hand in an emergency. I want to know if this human awareness, this bravery is a learned something that we should be considering. I’m not talking war bravery, a soldier is expected to perform in a certain manner, I’m talking every day people who jump when it seems unlikely they will succeed.
I believe that there is a huge faction of humanity that wants to do “good”; it is part of their nature; and playing video games will not deter them from that – it may even aid them in succeeding. This is my epiphany, my sudden insight into reality. Ya never know when one might strike…

Am I psychic?
I had a feeling you were going to call!
My tummy hurts the day before a catastrophe happens in the news.
I feel dizzy just before finding out one of my kids is hurt.
My dreams seem so real and I get great ideas for something that has been bothering me.
What can these things be attributed to? Angels’ whisperings, God’s still small voice, luck, or maybe it’s just one more of your senses doing what it’s supposed to do.
Why not try to accept this sense is real and allow it freedom to practice itself? Simply observe. Observe your body’s little tells and start remarking them to yourself. There are all kinds of places online that will tell you how to develop your dreaming time. Most of them will stress using a dream journal. This is a great way to keep track of your body’s messages as well. Writing down oddnesses or out-of-the-ordinaries will help you have a greater belief level in your sixth sense. Every sea captain keeps a log. Ledgers, journals, diaries are all common place ways of keeping track and then going back to find patterns.
Allow yourself some time to meditate on a particular idea or question; keeping a pad and pencil next to you. I used to worry during distance healing energy sessions that I would lose the connection if I stopped to write. Not true. I love to capture the images that come into my mind and then share them with a client. Most often (although not 100%), the images have some pertinent information that helps with part of life’s trials and questions. Sometimes the images speed by so quickly that, as soon as I realize there is one, it is gone and I am off seeing another one. In this case, I try to get a feel for the general message/picture of them all. The point is that I have to write them down. Because I do this, I can not only share the images, but see that they really have some substance to them. I am building my belief level, my foundation and faith base, my trust in myself.
Imagine how much we miss by not developing our skills from childhood. Why were we not allowed to pursue that which comes naturally? Lack of knowledge, lack of belief, fear of things we don’t understand, fear from religious propaganda…fear and lack…very negative words. Can you remember mentioning things to your parents when you were preschool aged? Our psychic abilities and pre-life memories are lost at about age seven unless they are used and talked about. This is the age when we become aware of our actions and how they impact the world around us. We figured out how to manipulate when we were infants. We found out consequences and could reason through them starting at about age four. At age seven we begin to start feeling who we are and how we want to be. Reality has become the concrete that anchors us in this plane. We have learned to believe our parents and our parents, no doubt wanting to protect us, told us we were imagining things. No such thing as that little friend, no you’ve never been to that house before, no that man is not a bad man, there’s nothing in that room, they’re just dreams and aren’t real…on and on and on. I remember all these very well; and the confusion of being told so. It was all real to me and I had to learn to filter and sift through my reality and make decisions on what to ignore and what to hold onto. My doubts still persist.
I’m not saying we should fall for or even believe every little thought that flies through our minds, a discerning nature is a great tool, but I am saying we should stop, examine, and make an informed decision as to just how psychic we really are. It is a very useful sense and can help us make choices in life…who we will marry, where we will live, what foods are best for our particular metabolism.
Another point I’d like to add here is that there are some different ways people tap into their psychic ability and we don’t need to be afraid. We know that we are only using them as tools to find out what our sense is telling us. Pendulums are easy access to the sixth sense and subconscious. Crystal balls, bowls of water, flames…all good ways of scrying – another way of saying meditating. Dowsing for water or oil, or whatever else you want to try, is just a way of asking the sixth sense to show an answer.
Global Consciousness. Mass Consciousness. Inventions happening simultaneously half way around the globe from one another. Indicators piling up all around us, showing that there is something more and, yes, we can tap into it. We can use our abilities and we can make a difference. We can share what we feel through our sixth sense, our psychicness, and not be afraid or embarrassed. We can be wrong or right and take it as a matter of course. We don’t have to hide in a closet and wonder what others will say. Who would argue over what emotion you’re having? If you say you’re happy, you’re happy. If you say you have a feeling something is going to happen, you have a feeling. So it goes.
Am I psychic? Everyone is. Ever heard someone say that God put it on their heart to do something? Is it a sin to use your God given gift? Nope. It all boils down to what you do with it. I am always thankful and eager to find out more about my gift.
