Although I had always had an interest in psychics and psychic phenomenon, I was pretty skeptical. However, through a series of random (or not so random depending what you believe haha) I found myself at a near by metaphysical bookstore. After meeting the owner and talking to him in length about spirituality, he suggested I check out this medium that was coming to do a demonstration. I figured I had nothing to lose. I went to the mediumship demonstration as an open-minded skeptic. To my surprise I was selected out of the crowd. The medium asked me if I was aware that I was extremely psychic and I answered "yes" because I had had dreams that came true and some other experiences that led me to believe I had some level of intuition. I was not prepared for him to tell me that an old man was telling him to tell me that I myself was a medium and that I could do exactly what he was doing and that in fact, I'd one day be doing mediumship as well. He said this being was advising me to begin my psychic development. Shocked and inspired, I began what would be a three and half year intense study of my own spirituality and development of my "sixth sense." I found that at first, the whole process came very naturally to me. I was able to do mediumship- getting names, descriptions of people, how they passed, messages, etc. I also developed my channeling ability, bringing in entities of a higher nature (guides, angels, etc.). All this came so easily that is until I began to question and doubt. Once I began questioning and doubting if these things were really possible, I found the ability to be muddled, challenging, and almost stressful. I wasn't sure if I was just making this all up (despite my confirmation from those getting readings from me). Finally, there came a point where I completely stopped doing any studying of the subject at all. It was then that I went back to school to study psychology, philosophy, and other science based subjects that drilled the scientific method into my head. Without objective evidence there was no proof that anything beyond this world existed. However, as with all "religious experience," subjective experiences are valid only for the person who is experiencing it. I had had several subjective experiences that have always kept me from shutting out the possibility of something beyond this reality. Then came a very long dry spell where I felt very little to no connection spiritually. I felt that if there was no objective evidence to support the claim of something greater then myself, then it was unlikely, if not non-existent. This is where I have been up until a little over a week ago. Who would have thought so much could change within a week?
Which brings me to why I created this blog: I have had experiences that I cannot deny and evidence to go along with it. I don't expect anyone else to believe any evidence that I present here. I probably wouldn't believe yours if you had it on some random blog. However, I can say this: my interest is to find truth plain and simple. I have nothing to gain from this except knowledge. If I were to cheat or lie about any of this evidence (subjective or objective), I would just be doing myself a disservice. I will try my best to bring any available objective validation when possible, but I will also be posting subjective information as well as I feel it is also valid for my own development. With that being said, I ask that you will consider what I present here with an open mind, even if it's a little skeptical.
Thank you and I hope to bring you a lot more!
