Trusting Our Instincts

THE SIXTH SENSE

In the modern age, man has come far along the path of knowledge to unlock the wondrous workings of the natural world, the mysteries of the known universe and now claims to fully understand the workings of pretty much everything through the appliance of science.

So, when there's strange phenomena occurring outside the known realms of science, the scientists will be quick to jump on these happenings to dispel them as paranormal and make moves to explain them through sound reasoning and scientific fact. However, there are just too many other-worldly occurrences going on that cannot be easily explained through conventional wisdom.

A number of people have been shown to have special talents - a kind of sixth sense, and it's my belief that we all have the ability to use these powers - we just need to recognise when they are working, what they mean and how we can use them to benefit us.

Call it a hunch, a gut instinct or just a thought that comes from nowhere which has relevance to a particular situation. The amount of times for example that I've thought of someone who I haven't seen or heard from in a while and then mysteriously bumped into them or they contact me from out of the blue. Picking up on thoughts coming from other people's minds seems to be another trait I have a sometimes freaky ability in doing. Again the scientists are moving towards finding a way to do this with technology and there have been recent telepathy experiments with some early success transferring information across continents. However, there are already many examples of people having this ability to pick up on brain energy or telepathic thoughts, just as there are other examples in many cultures throughout history of astral projection and even more recent science-backed examples of remembered past lives from young children who would have no way of obtaining the detailed information they possess and the scientists no way of explaining how they got it either.

It's worth considering there are logical explanations to what seemingly cannot be explained with rational thought, just as it is worth investigating and not completely discrediting the paranormal activity that some of us are more sensitive to feeling than we wish to believe is possible. And some of the following powers may be accessible to you and I to some degree, if we just accept that they could actually exist in the first place.

Telepathy

Mind reading

Clairvoyance

Reincarnation

Astral projection

We are all made up of matter and electrical energy after all and it is the way we connect with everything around us that gives us the potential to harness these sixth senses. In order to better do this we have to give up on the idea that we are separate and in fact one and the same energy as everyone and everything around us.

Amazing People

POWER OF THE MIND

There's some extraordinary people out there who are doing things that defy science and logic. Ram Bomjon Gadhi is one of those people. I was looking up some info today on meditation as it's something I'd like to introduce into my day, when I stumbled upon this boy and was so transfixed, I ended up watching the entire documentary. The BBC initially visited India, in order to film Ram over a few days. They wanted to see if the meditation and boy's alleged divinity was all just an elaborate hoax because there were claims the boy had remained in the same mediative state without food or water for 10 months. Ram was actually planning on meditating for 6 years as did Budha, who was born very close to Ram in the same area of India. The documentary discusses with 'professionals' the life-threatening symptoms we would normally expect to see when a person stops taking nourishment for only a few days. We get to hear from other holy men that have supposedly gone without any food or drink for many years. There appears to be no solid scientific explanations for any of these amazing feats of endurance and ability to exert such control over the body.

The power of meditation

I've watched another powerful documentary recently about prisoners in one of America's toughest jails, who have taken up Buddhism. The story follows the lives of some of the most violent and dangerous prisoners as they use their House of Healing meditation techniques for self-healing and to face up to their demons. The documentary, The Dhamma Brothers, is available on Youtube and Netflix. 

There are some things that we just cannot explain through science. The world is a wondrous place and there's so many amazing people in it. There's stuff we'll never understand and if these prisoners have shown me anything - it's re-affirmation that we have the capacity to look inwards and never too late to make great changes. I believe we should help our prisoners find themselves again and allow them the chance to give back to society. If this means they do good things from the confines of a cell - ie. too much of a risk and never to be released or if they are non serious offences and can be re-educated in order to work again within society - it's going to be better than just locking them up.

I'm going to check out The Clink over the next week or two - which is a charity that supports prisoners by educating them to work in kitchens. There has been a huge success rate for lowering the re-offence figures of those that have taken the programme. 

The Supernatural

Seeing as I was drawn to supernatural feats this morning - I also watched another interesting documentary called The Boy Who Lived Before, about a boy who claimed to have been re-incarnated. It was pretty eerie stuff - and there were so many coincidences in this documentary that it's given some good reason to believe that reincarnation is real...
