I'm a teenage girl and I think I might be psychic.
I can see ghosts and I feel deja vu constantly. Sometimes the deja vu is so severe I know what someone is going to do or say before it happens. My friend was the one who first caught on, and gave me a deck of cards. She told me to try and guess the suit of each one. I only got four wrong. I am very sensitive to others' feelings, and when I walk into a room I can sometimes pick up unsettling vibes about certain people in that room, or just the overall atmosphere, like I can tell if a fight just occurred.
One night, I experienced something I think might have been astral projection, but I'm not for sure (sorry, I'm kind of new to this world.) I was lying awake in my bed when suddenly I was somewhere else. It was like I was looking down on the scene. There was a Middle-Eastern man (at least, my mind told me he was middle-eastern) wearing a turban. I knew, somehow, that this man was an ambassador. He seemed to be showing a very beautiful girl around, with blond hair and a blue dress. She looked very royal, and she had a small tiara. Suddenly, it flashed down a corridor and I saw a gun coming out from behind a corner.
I came back to reality again and I was terrified. The entire time I was having the vision-thing I had been trying to get back to my own house and my own bed. I was horrified, and nothing like that has ever happened since.
I constantly feel like someone is watching me or following me, but that may just be paranoia.
I had an imaginary friend (well, horse) named Pegasus when I was little. He was completely and totally real to me, I remember playing with him a lot. He's gone now, but I've heard people say that that could be a sign of psychic-ness.
So, now, for my questions:
1. Does anyone think I might be psychic? I have no idea if I am or not, and it's kind of freaking me out.
2. My parents are complete Christians. I kind of am, but I don't want my parents to be all mad at me for looking into this kind of stuff. Any ideas on how to talk to them if it turns out that I am psychic?
3. How can I develop my abilities, if I have any?
4. Since no one knows me on this site, I just want to say that I cut myself sometimes. (SOMETIMES, so don't go giving me the talk) The friend who picked up on my maybe-abilities knows, and she said that it might hurt them. Is she right?
Thank you for all your help!
I have this sensitivity too. You need to learn as much as possible about this so you can be a help and so that you don't get into trouble. You can't NOT have this gift now so you must learn about it.
Unfortunately the Christian church (and I am a born-again spirit-filled Christian) is closed and ignorant about many things. The church and wars and competition throughout history has done this. The Bible says only the Holy Spirit is our teacher. However people in the church will constantly tell you what the Holy Spirit is saying and his limitations. This is not so. This is YOUR journey, YOUR connection with God.
As I said though, you cannot now, NOT have this gift so you MUST learn as much as you can. There are also some other sites about spiritual sensitivity. The word 'psychic' has been put into the 'evil' box in the church. There certainly are things to be careful of but don't close out knowledge that will help you. However, personally, from experience, I think you need God's protection. I sound like a churchy now.
A VERY important verse in the bible is when God said 'My people perish for a lack of knowledge'.
God Bless You.
