So You Are a Psychic? Aren’t We All?

by Lisa Shaw

In human form, we embody the essence of the Divine, and that essence, according to multiple religious and spiritual traditions, is love. On this single point, diverse devotional adherents usually agree. They affirm that the human being is a spark of Divine light, a segment of the universal whole, and our journey through life is to make our way back to that greater Divine entity. Of course, karmic debt complicates the individual journey to varying degrees, but our ultimate purpose on earth is wisdom gathering on the road home to enlightenment.

The gathering of such wisdom is a multi-faceted, transcendent experience that transforms us as we reach beyond the physical. Meditation, yoga, prayer and ritual become the path to higher energies. Along that path, we discover gifts of the spirit that manifest along the intuitive continuum: gut feelings becomes acute sensitivity to energy; hunches become valid inner guidance; dreams become premonition; perception becomes clairvoyance. In this way, we are all psychic, but how we use and honor the gift will determine its strength. More importantly, how we honor the Divine will determine how wisely we use these innate abilities.

Being a psychic, by hanging the sign in your window and earning a living as an intuitive without the devotional element, is simply not enough. Being a true “psychic” requires a commitment to love and a clear alignment with Spirit. With the understanding that our origins are Divine, we must then believe that the essence of pure love radiates from our core. When we succumb to the diversions of the mundane world, we lose that connection. Through spiritual practice, we will resonate that love and operate with Divine support. It is only when we act from this sacred center that we find our true identity. Getting to it means unburdening ourselves from worry, fear, external distractions, expectations and desires.

This is where psychic ability meets theological intention and consciousness study. John Williams clarifies the concept of our separation from spirit as Edgar Cayce saw it. Cayce, known for his prophecies and metaphysical understanding of the Universe, viewed creation as the act of supreme consciousness, the Creator, God, who then created smaller consciousness in, a mirror of the greater. Our early existence was spiritual, parallel to God in thought and deed, our spiritual gifts imitating the Creator’s. As we grew, still in spiritual form, we dwelt less in harmony with the Creator, while separating ourselves from the Source of all. We evolved and retained our gifts, but our self-absorption muddied our purpose, so we are left with modern, secular explanations for “psychic” ability called “extrasensory perception.”
