Question

For the naive people, look im not imature to think like this..if you're just gonna call me a retard, don't answer!!!! so do you believe? and are there any REAL schools like alice academy that help people with special gifts? I'm talkin' about real

Answer 1

I do believe in special powers, yes.

In my opinion, they are gifts that are given to the people most suited to them, and everyone has something. The problem is, a lot of people choose to ignore it, or become so wrapped up in the overly scientific world that we operate in that they don't even believe that it is possible!

I think some people are blessed with gifts and the opportunities to learn to harness them. There have been various acadamies and courses set up around the world which attempt to teach people these, but the majority ask for a fee and do not tell their students anything that they could not learn on their own with a little research. If you've ever seen the show 'Buffy' you'll be familiar with the phrase 'I must consult my books' - and that's pretty much the deal in real life, too! Through my personal seeking i've found that the majority of 'schools' in this field are scams and are looking to rip people off.

If you know anything about Paganism or Wicca I would suggest that this is a good place to start. Personally, I am neither, but a lot of research into the field of ESP and suchlike has been carried out in a Wiccan basis, and a UK group called Minor Arcana (for under 18's) did a lot of work in encouraging youths to embrace the magical gifts they have been given.

The internet contains a wealth of information, and meditation and prayer can, in my opinion, help someone to harness and gift and gain control over it. The best way to do this is to sit in a place where you are comfortable and at peace (outside is ideal, if there is somewhere quiet and peaceful in your neighbourhood, and where it is safe to be alone - a garden is ideal, if you have one) and try to clear your mind. I do not know what your gift(s) are - you have not specified - but like I said, everone has one. Focus on the beauty of nature and marvel in the way everything is connected, and you will find your gift within you eventually.

There are people who dedicate their lives to this kind of practice, some healing the sick, others predicting the future through dreams and visions, others learning to gain control over the elements, but perhaps the most important thing to remember, I think, is that if you are given a gift, it is not yours. It is sacred and special, and just as you have been given it, it can be taken away from you if you misuse it. No-one has ever been able to prove that they are psychic or any such where they are doing it for publicity, or to try to convince people that they are special. The only way to use such a gift is with a sense of honor, to help others and to worship, not to try to achieve fame or glory.

Answer 2

Yes, there *are* special mental abilities - such as eidetic memory, or "savants" like Mozart. I also believe in Christian miracles, some of which (for example, medical miracles) have scientifically-sound evidence supporting certain claims. If you mean paranormal abilities (mind-reading, fortune-telling, reading of "impressions, etc.), the fact that there is no scientific evidence supporting any of these claims is very persuasive for me. This does not mean that such abilities cannot exist. It only means that those who claim to have them have been wholly unable to prove it - in other words, they are charlatans.

More on fortune-tellers: the bible states that there is a way to tell a true prophet from a false:
1) A true prophet will *never* make a false prediction - not even once
2) A true prophet will never ask someone to do something contrary to the Law (of Moses).

Everyone has some magical abilities, starting from childhood. Remember your imaginary friends? Not the ones you got from movies or books but ones that sort of popped up that would 'actually' talk to you? And wanting say a cookie and all of the sudden your mother or father giving you one? After we get older, however, our schooling and common sense kick in, telling us there is no such thing as magical powers, so they don't go away, just unused. And there isn't any 'place' you can go to to learn about yourself. That's something you have to experience on your own. No book or person can tell you about yourself or your sub-conscience. Ask the questions you want to be answered and have faith in yourself enough to know you will get the answer.

Answer 4

i'm no longer American yet considering that Islam is a issue in my lands too i'm going to respond to. No, i do no longer think of that they could be compelled to hold playing cards. Doing which will purely lead them to extra alienated and then human beings will whinge that integration fails. besides, it somewhat is extremely like what the Nazis did with the gold stars on the Jews' clothing. the different stuff: yeah i'm prejudice against Muslims. I hate the religion and picture its a hazard to Western lifestyles. I not often ever hit upon a Muslim which will nicely be secular and arise for democratic perspectives. heavily, by no ability. Or seeing them protest against terrorists like they protest approximately cartoons. I additionally think of their non secular perspectives are severe. i could say that some Muslims in the U. S. help Al-Qaeda yet probably purely the minority. Al-Qaeda is nuts even via Islamic standards.

Answer 5

Yes, there are gifts that are given to everyone...it's all in whether or not you decide to work with them. It's not magic like Harry Potter...don't confuse the real stuff with Hollywood stuff. I have been a clairvoyant/medium all my life and have been seeing spirit since I was 3. I did not ask to have this gift, I have accepted the fact that I have it. Unfortunately, there is no formal school that you can enroll in to unlock these gifts, you must work with a teacher or mentor who has worked with their own gifts.

Answer 6

We are all born with Psychic senses everyone you talk too Yes even YOU, has one or more psychic sense some people choose to enhance them others just ignore them others may just shut them down.

Senses are

Sight: Eyes "Clairvoyance" Spiritual Body "Eye" (called the Third Eye)
Sound: Ears "Clairaudience" Spiritual Body "Ear"
Touch: Skin "Clairsentience" Spiritual Body "Skin"
Taste: Tongue/Nose "Clairlinguance" Spiritual Body "Tongue"
Smell: Nose "Clairolerance" Spiritual Body "Nose"
*Know: Brain "Claircognizance" Spiritual Body "Mind"

Clairaudience - Intuitive
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.

Clairvoyance- Visionary
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.

Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.

Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.

Clairgustance - Taste
Clairgustance is being aware of tastes without putting anything physically in the mouth. To perceive the essence of a substance through taste from the spiritual or ethereal realms. The sensation of what one is tasting is often linked to a spirit on the other side.

Claircognizance - Know
The sense of knowing through our brain, even though it is not a physical sense, simply because it has a corresponding metaphysical sense known as claircognizance, or knowing without knowing how you know.

Clairolerance - Smell
The sense of Smelling different fragrances from Spirits to find that earthly connection, strong odours you can't escape and can't explain a reason for eg: Cooking odours, Perfumes, Perfumes, Cigars or Cigarettes, Flowers, Extra. The characteristic essence linked to a spirit on the other side.

Psychometry - Touch
Psychometry is another form of psychic divination using the sense of touch to get mental impression linked to it. Psychometric impressions may come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or images. The visions can appear is single flat images, much like a photo, or as animations. As we exist in an electromagnetic energy reality, metal objects often work best.

Answer 7

Yes I believe people have an ability that they can strengthen by learning how to control it...I know of no school to do this in, I am working with a woman who already has learned how to use her abilities and I imagine most people learn by this apprenticeship method...

Answer 8

The psychic abilities are natural and normal. Expanding them into mediumship and/or clairvoyance, empathy, etc. is a real and valid undertaking. There are many groups who take development of these powers seriously.

Answer 9

If you mean special skills, talents, creativity, yes. If you mean something supernatural, then most likely your gift is a strong imagination. enjoy it, but don't let it run away with you. Active imaginations make great slaves, but terrible masters.

Answer 10

Yes, Everybody has the inbuilt ability, but with common teachings of present religion they have been dulled. there are places to learn but they require study and practice.
