Real Psychic Experiences

Confused About Abilities

 

I'm very confused because I don't know if what I feel and experience is real and if I have some kind of ability or sense, or if I'm just making things up in my head because I do have a crazy imagination and am a naturally stressed person with a lot of anxiety. I'm confused because I don't know if I have some kind of psychic ability, sensitivity of some sort, or more prone to see/feel spirits or whatever, if anything at all. I've always been extremely interested in psychic powers and spirits and all that, and I've always hoped that I have some kind of ability so I hope that I'm not just making things up in head and using coincidences to hype myself up into thinking something that's not true. There have been times when I have been with friends/family members, but also by myself, where paranormal activities have occurred, things have been moved, radios turned on, etc. In my house, both my sister and I have seen a spirit/ghost in our house. I'm 22 and afraid of the dark so I sleep with the tv on because I'm afraid of seeing a demon/spirit, but I'm very intrigued by it and want to experience things. I am tortured with the most horrifying dreams you could ever imagine on a daily basis and this has been occurring for years. I have deja vu very often, I always know what time it is, there have been a couple of times where I have a feeling/vision something's going to happen and it does, but I also have visions where I see things so vividly in my mind when I'm awake that I can't see what's in front of me, but it doesn't happen. I always get these feelings that something bad is going to happen or I see horrible things in my head. I always feel like I'm being watched no matter where I am, especially in my house, and I'm afraid to be in my house alone. I feel like I'm never alone anywhere I go, even in my car. I don't know if I'm just a naturally freaked out/messed up person or if I do have some kind of something, I hope I do so I can fully embrace it. I just need some help and advice because I don't want to be scared and I just want to get to some kind of truth. Please be completely honest.

Thank you all so very much, I greatly appreciate it!

fear is the number one thing that block us to connect to oneness. Overcoming fear, you must practice loving-kindness meditation (you could research online or contact me snowyy402 [at] yahoo.com, I will send you the link). Once you reach to non-duality in meditation, you will realize you are connect with everyone and everything. Then, your fear will no longer raise. In fact, once you reach this level, seeing ghost, demons or other entities is like seeing another person. You will have love and compassion for all beings, even animals!

The more you fear your ability, the harder it will be for you to experience things relating to the spirits that surrund you all the time. You must have faith and the will to learn and preatcice the gifts that you have been blessed with.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

That is why you need to record your experiences immediately after they happen (or as soon as you can). Memory right after the event is fullest. After a few months, you can even forget that such a thing ever happened to you (I was once surprised to find an OBE I had forgotten but written in my journal).

This link first states the necessity of keeping a record and then goes into some exercises http://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib9.html.

This link gives an example of an ideal detailed record as mentioned in the previous link http://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib860.html. No one is saying you have to be as detailed; just write down everything that you think might be relevant. When I had an OBE recently (see my story on this site), I first wrote down brief notes of what happened and then fleshed it out with details. Afterwards, I recorded my immediate thoughts about the experience. Remember, it's very very easy to forget things.

You might also want to look for sources that tell you how to record your dreams.

Everyone has potential (or so they say). I have read a lot of theory, but I have never before been able to persist with practice (but I'm trying now). When I was still small, I was really scared of seeing anything, but my twenty years of not seeing anything when awake have calmed me down. I semi-regularly see weird stuff in my dreams, but that can be explained by the large amount of fantasy reading I've done. I've never seen deja vu dreams. It's still sometimes a bit scary at night when I've just finished watching one of those "unexplained phenomena" or "ancient aliens" shows on tv, since they seem to go out of their way with mysterious music and other ways to make you feel scared. Thankfully, I don't bother with such shows often. I also make use of the superstition that cats can see spirits to convince myself that my cat would definitely know if there was something there. (Another plus is that most mysterious night noises can be blamed on pets).

There's no such thing as a non-psychic human, just like (almost) every human has the potential to do math. Some people may make slower progress or progress better in different directions.

If you really want to develop your abilities, try to keep that intention in mind as much as you can. Find an exercise and do it once a day EVERY day for... Say at least three months (I'm not an expert in this, and plus each person has their own requirements) or maybe a year. Other than the LBRP I recommended earlier, there's this practice which would only take up 5-10 minutes of your day http://lib.oto-usa.org/libri/liber0200.html. (It's the only thing I'm currently doing regularly, and when in public, I do it mentally.)

In any case, do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. (Do, not sit around and think. Will, not want.)

Love is the law, love under will.

Thank you so much! I actually sent in another story that added on to this one that was better with more experiences, but they published this one instead/ first. And how are you supposed to know if you're psychic or have some kind of power if things only happen every once in a while, or if your powers are weak? How can you be sure you're not being over dramatic, over analyzing, or just wanting it too much? I just don't want to hype myself up and not really have any true power or potential because I would love to have some kind of ability.

You sound like you need to start some sort of spiritual practice to calm down and organize your energy as well as protect you from negativity. Try learning to ground, meditate, and shield (most beginning-psychic books have those).

Here is one exercise that would help you do all of that, if you're willing to do it. (Each link gives a slightly different description of the same thing).

If you're interested in psychic abilities in a serious way (or if you don't hate reading), you might want to look at this book http://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/lib4.htm and/or this book http://hermetic.com/crowley/magick-without-tears/.

Love is the law, love under will.

Sounds like what I am going through, and I know that I am psychic. So my guess would be that yes, you are. 😆
