Is ESP real?

 

I received a text question from a student of Eusebio High School in Pasig.

 

But before we answer that, let me rephrase the question- What is ESP?

 

ESP means Enhanced Sensory Perception.  It is not as it was commonly think about as an Extra Sensory Powers.

 

Every being in this world has it.  Even plant and animal has sense ability.

 

Human being is said to have five senses, i.e. Sight, Hearing, Smell, taste, and Touch.  And they perceive their senses through their body organ like Eyes, Ear, Nose, Tongue and Skin.

 

The Largest part of these organs is the Skin.

 

And through the skin, we perceived the temperature, texture and solidity of an object.

 

Temperature pertains to hot and cold, the texture to the smoothness and roughness, while solidity to the harness and softness of an object.

 

The sense of taste enable us to determine if the food we eat is sweet, salty, sour, spicy and bitter.

 

The Sense of Taste somewhat connected to the sense of Smell which we can also taste the flavor of the food through its aroma.  Through smell we could determine if it is fragrant or pungent. 

 

The Sense of Hearing could make us determine if it is Loud or soft.

 

Our sense sight of course enables us to see the colors in our surroundings.  Aside from that through sight, we could also measure distance if it is far or near.

 

All of this ability is innate to us.  But if we are going to talk about ESP as being supernatural, then we could ask if ESP is real?

 

Again before we answer that question, I would like to direct you to how and where do our senses operate?

 

This question will lead us to answer it in a scientific manner.

 

As I have said, that sense perception is innate to all human being.  Even plants and animals have senses.

 

Human beings have senses because we have what the science call sensory system.

Sensory system is a part of nervous system that consists of sensory receptors that receive stimuli from internal and external environment that passes through neural pathways that conduct this information to the brain and parts of the brain that process this information.

 

Where in the Human Body can be found the Nervous System?

 

Nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the Body.  It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning and memory.

 

In short, all of what I mention above is part of our brain.

 

So now, how ESP works?

 

ESP as what I’ve said is ENHANCED SENSORY PERCEPTION.

 

If you think ESP as having supernatural powers, it is a different subject.

 

The question would be, what does it mean to be Supernatural?

 

Is ESP a supernatural phenomenon?

 

If every being has ESP then could it be supernatural?

 

There are two definitions I want to elaborate about supernatural.

 

1^st is supernatural means not natural or it is Artificial and the 2^nd is it is above natural.

 

Our society set standards about what is natural or not.  When things are innate by nature it was supposed to be Natural.  But now-a-days, man can imitate the things what supposedly nature can only do.

 

These days, fresh fruits could be artificial but it will be branded as Natural. The norms of society are very deceptive.  When the mountains before are immovable but now it could be divided into half.  Before the clouds could only give rain to the people, now it could be planted.

 

Now-a-days there are no more natural left to us. Everything can be cloned or somewhat become supernatural.

 

Supernatural means above the natural level. 

 

Human brains could achieve the abilities of being supernatural.

 

Going back to ESP, in order ESP to become a supernatural phenomena, it must however be integrated from one sense to another.

 

Let us say the ability to see the unseen, in Psyhcism it is called “clairevoyance or clear seeing” abilty.  This ability let us to see things that could be hardly be seen with the naked eyes. People connotations with this ability are those who could see ghost or poltergeist.

 

But in reality, Ghost is an energy body in a form of plasma (a condensed gaseous state of energy being). This ability to see is integrated with the sense of perception through touch.

 

When a clairvoyant see ghost perhaps, they first feel it.  The feelings could be felt like a cold moist. Then that stimulus will signal the sense perception of sight to see images of moist formed in human shape.

 

Another phenomenon is about seeing aura.

 

Aura is an electromagnetic force that surrounds the human body.  It is like an atmosphere that surrounds the earth that protects the planet from invasive particles that is floating around the universe. (As we all know, the only thing that these planet of ours hold in to its place is through gravity).

 

As I have said, aura is an electromagnetic force that can’t be seen by naked eyes.  It could be measured now-a-days through an instrument called kirlian camera.  This device is used to measure and see aura.

 

Aura means light.  And when light passes through a spectrum it will produce color.

 

Before, the method that been used to see people’s aura is through scanning.

 

It is done by focusing your eyes to a certain part of a person for about a minute, then afterwards closing your eyes to see colors.

 

Another method is by rubbing your palms together for about a minute, and then passes it over to a person’s body to determine the length and width of the person’s aura. The feeling of an aura is like a magnetic field that surrounds a person.  Have you played with magnet before? Try it to experience what I mean about it.  (Try to place two magnets side by side and observe what will happen.)

 

There are many more things that could be considered as supernatural but when ESP is used the supernatural phenomena becomes Natural.

 

In ancient times, people believed that illness is caused by evil and malevolent spirit.  But through the evolution of man and the Technology of Science, man discovered that there are other factors that contribute to man’s illnesses rather than the spirit.  One of this was the discovery of bacteria. And thanks to modern technology through the discovery of microscope that the unseen bacteria now can be seen.

 

 

Now, what about the 3^rd eye or 6^th sense relates to ESP?

 

How many eyes does a normal person have? And how many senses do natural people has?

 

These terms were just term.  It used to describe things but actually inappropriate to use.

 

3^rd eye was used as a description by Indian people that refer to the forehead or in the area that can be found in the middle of the eyebrow above the eyes.  It is called ajna chakra.

 

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”.  It is associated by Indian to the power center that is located in that area. In Japan, they called these “Tsubo”, and in Chinese it is called “Tsun”. Tsun, Tsubo, Chakra is now called acupoints. Or pressure points. To the medical science it is called “Mitocondrion”, the energy center of a cell.

 

The hindu-vedic belief about the third eye is that it refers to the function of the lower brain, spine, and eyes.

 

So what about 6^th sense, or mind reading, telepathy, telekinesis or psychokinesis?

 

Ok. That is a good question.  But I will give back the question to you, where is the mind located?  Is it part of the human body?

 

Is mind the same with the brain?

 

No. The brain is a human organ where mental activity including thought, learning and memory are processed.  The mind is outside the human realms.  There is no scientific evidence that our body produce thoughts, inspiration, idea, and so on and so forth.  The brain could only process it but the mind can only produced it.

 

Let us put it this way. 

 

Write now, I am writing this essay to you.  But where all of this came from?  I might get it from a book or from another source material.  But the point here, thoughts are not produced inside our body but came from an outside force.

 

The Greek term for the mind is “Psyche”, which also means “Soul and Spirit”.

 

Soul and Spirits are unseen. But they are always present, like life or air is not seen but it was there. The unseen life is only manifested through us.

 

Let me give you another example.

 

You have probably a cell phone? Isn’t it?

 

Your Cell Phone could not produce text message unless you key in your message in it.  Your cell phone only processes your message and transmits it through radio wave and been received by another cell phone.

 

It is the same with the mind.  Your mind is part of a whole universal mind that is connected to one another that is processed by our brain.

 

Our brain works through the consciousness of our selves.  And our consciousness is works through the bio-electrical activity in our brain that been measured by an electro-encephalogram.

 

When this device is put up into our head, our consciousness is measured in form of waves.

 

According to psychology, there are 4 level of consciousness.

 

1. Beta level or the conscious mind- which is the area of the alert, awake mind. Actions, decisions, muscle and speech are done on this level.
2. Alpha Level or the subconscious mind- is a level of the mind where the brain is relaxed but alert.  On this level concentration, relaxation, meditation and hypnosis are made.  It is maintained and level regular pulses when using meditation, hypnosis, and some enhancing sense perception exercises.
3. Theta Level or the super conscious mind- creative imagery, computation on deep mind level is made on this level.
4.  Delta Level- this is the level of our consciousness when we are asleep.
5. Gamma level- it is still unexplored but this level were observed in individuals who are undergoing crisis situation.

 

  Now how, ESP works in order to prove that it is real?

 

In developing ESP, there is researched formula in doing it.

 

Conscious + Subconscious + Super Conscious= ESP

 

The conscious mind decides what is desired, makes decisions, chooses what programming is to be done, which problems are to be worked on, or what skill is to be learned.

 

The Subconscious mind accepts the direction of the conscious if put into simple words and commands.  Retains the suggestions that are programmed into it and causes the results to become a reality.

 

Super conscious mind is the third factor.  It is the portion of the mind that contains access to the collective unconscious, the pool of awareness and knowledge, doorway to true mental power. Perhaps mans connection to his creator and to cosmos.

 

Proving ESP by answering questions like this is a hard task.  And it can’t be prove easily towards skeptical mind. A six page essay is not enough to learn about ESP. But by experiencing the ability by your self is the only best way that I could say to prove the reality of ESP.

 

There are many groups of researcher on this topic has immersed since 1960’s.  And even up to this day, school of thoughts has been established to prove the reality of these phenomena.

 

The great Dr. JB Rhine has devoted his life in Duke University in 1930’s in this field of research. And even great military leaders are using this ability in the so called psychological warfare among nations.

 

The question on the reality of ESP is like a Millon Dollar question to be answered.  In the midst of the world economic crisis, is this question relevant or not?

 

For me, as a respondent, as a researcher, and as an individual who is also seeking for answer of truth regarding to this question; I found the topic very relevant to us, specially, now-a-days.

 

Developing our skills to have ESP ability would help us not to question anymore.  By knowing the answer within us will make our life easier by taking action to the cause of a problem.  Even the problem does not occur yet, we already have a solution.

 

If everyone is sensitive enough to sense each others need, we could immediately find solution to our problem.

 

Having this ability does not make us fatalistic or fanatic.  But having the ability to perceive things before it happen to us will make us more efficient and effective.

 

Thus having an Enhance Sense Perception makes us also an effectively efficient Sensitive Person that immediately response for a solution.

 

 

Till here. Hope you enjoy.

During the first day of AM/TM 1 Training, i was not aware of what i am taking up not until the Lead Facilitator (Ms. Mendenilla) orient us about the training Program.

This was the first time i’ve heard about CBT Program of TESDA.

CBT, what is it all about?

CBT means Competency Based Training.

(though i’ve been a Training Assistant on Massage Therapy and Natural Health Care Practice at the Same time as a Personal Mentor/Tutor on the Field of Self Enrichment and personality Booster Course).

True to her Words according to the standards set by TESDA, CBT Learning is a Self Paced and Modular Training where the Learner can gain mastery on the Qualification he/she is enrolled.

Aside fro being Self paced and odular, CBT recognize the individuals past learning experience.  Learning from a CBT Program allows the learner to graduate in a short time span compared to the Traditional School that need to spend much time just to complete all the subject requirements to fullfill a qualification.

There are more benefit why you should enroll to a CBT Program.  But in order to know more about CBT, you must experience it on a first hand.  And by experiencing it, you will know and can make a Difference in your Life.

What would you expect when you plant a tree?

Of course we want to see its fruit.  That is what most of us think.

But what if the tree does not bear fruit? What would you do with it?

I ask some friend the same question, what will they do if they planted a tree that does not bear fruit.

They answered me that they will cut it down.

I was discouraged by their reply.  But if i will be asked, what will i do if the tree does not bear fruit.

My answer, i will spare it to serve its purpose.

I believe that not only bearing fruit is their purpose.  But also they are responsible in giving us fresh air and holding the soil so that it may not collapse to create disaster.

I compare my self to a tree.  A lone tree that stand in a ground.  A steady and unmovable , but quietly serve its purpose even without bearing fruit.

If you cut a tree that does not bear fruit, would it means that it Just and Right to Kill a man that gives no purpose or becomes a liability to everyone?

I don’t think so!

Everyone has a purpose. And everyone should strive to see and know their purpose in life.

6. When you are completely relaxed check for any possible tension left in your body and send relaxation to that area.

7. In a relaxed state, put your left hand in front of your chest towards your heart and feel its beating. Notice how it beat, how fast and its texture, etc.

8. Continue feeling your heart and check the emotions contained in your heart. Check if there are worries, hatred, fear, anger, etc. in your heart.  Don’t do anything about it, just recognize its presence.

9. Feel the beating of your heart getting faster and stronger.  Feel that as it beat, it pushes your left hand away from your heart and guiding it to reach forth above your head towards the sky.

10. As you move your left hand above your head, see in your mind’s eye that you are reaching for a bright ball of white light like the sun in the sky. Recognize this ball of bright white light as the Physical heart of God.

15. Feel that your heart has been filled up by God’s positive energy of Love, Joy, Peace, Hope, and Goodwill.

Last year was a blessed year for me that i found employment.  And last night as i meditated on what had happened to me, it bring me to a point that i should appreciate all the things that come to me specially the wisdom that God gave me in handling Nature’s gift.

As i assess my self, i found out that i benefited a lot from doing all natural treatment to the company that im working but also the company earns a lot from me.

Right now, i have formulated 5 treatment products for them that earn a lot of saving from them.  I also introduce to them a new signature massage that has a unique filipino touch, that is the ARCO Technique.

Last december 13, Yahoo Group Luntian celebrated it’s 7th year foundation on the cyberworld. From it’s small begining the group has become a mother inspiration to filipino pagan to get out of their magickal closet and express their faith of being a Pagan.

Though the group still has a shed of Christian Doctrine, Luntian and Luntiang Aghama become the first Filipino Cyber group that has a unique Christo Pagan path. Since then, Luntian continue to do it’s mission by providing free workshop on Pagan Culture and Tradition and also information on Alternative Health Care, Lifestyle and Spirituality.

Luntiang Aghama has been recognized as an Outer Court Shrine by the Correllian Nativist Tradition on March 6, year 7 of Aquarius. From then, the network of the group has been expanded and the interest of serving Mother Earth grow’s even more.

On 2008, Luntiang Aghama wishes to have a Sanctuary of Healing Herbs that will become a Center of Earth Based Spirituality and Alternative Health Care.

May everyone who wishes to become a steward of Mother Earth express their faith with us in the group.

• Magick is real. The things you accomplish with your spells, incantations, and invocations will affect your future. The beings that you call forth within your Magick Circle exist within the Spirit Realm. Magick is real; it is not a metaphor. The symbols and correspondences you will learn are tools to enable you to control your Reality.

• Know yourself. Socrates once told his students that “an unexamined life is not worth living.” As you travel the path of the Apprentice, you will maintain your Magickal Journal. Your notes and observations will enable you to learn who you truly are and what you truly want. Through meditation and focus you will learn why you respond to events and things in specific ways. As you learn more about yourself, you will gain the knowledge you need to change and become the Wizard you want to be.

• The best way to predict the future is to create it.  It is human nature to want to know what is about to happen. Many people throughout history and in our current time have turned to psychics and forms of divination to learn what lies ahead. The Wizard has the power to create the future he wants. To manifest what you desire will enable you to predict your future.

• Question authority. Why is a very powerful word. As an Apprentice you must question “why” somesomething is done, and “why” it is done is a certain way. Understanding “why” leads to a clearer understanding of “how.” Your ability to question why something is being asked of you or expected of you will protect you. Questioning can and must be done with respect for the teacher. However, you must always be willing to stand up and say “no” when someone gives you an instruction that goes against what you know to be your best interest. Your ability to question will protect you from others who wish to manipulate you. Be certain you understand “why” before you act. Respect those who have come this way before, and learn from them. But if they say, “It can’t be done,” chances are it can be done or there is another way of achieving the same goal. I say, if it works for you, use it. If it doesn’t, don’t use it.

• Magick is both an art and an experimental science.  ome people, like some artists, are naturally good at magick. However, with practice, someone who is not as good as others can easily become better than those who put no effort into the work. Remember that authors, writers, and lecturers try to share magick the best way they can. But that doesn’t mean it will work perfectly for you. Experiment and use what others say as a guide, not as a law.

• Be watchful of what you do and say.  Magick happens all the time, not just when you are in a ritual.

• Intention controls Results.  A Wizard’s most powerful tool is his intention, his will to manifest what he desires. If the desire is for knowledge, then an intention of becoming a diligent student will enable you to obtain the desire. However, if your intention is to ace the test without the necessary study, your results will probably be disappointing. With Magick it is extremely important to be very clear on your intention before you start the Working.

• Don’t invoke what you can’t banish.  We have already established that Magick is real. The Elementals, Deities, and Spirits do exist and will be present when called. Some are friendlier than others; all have their own agendas, which may not be the same as yours. It is very important that you can send your visitors back to their realm, before you invite them into yours.

• Always consider the options.  here are always options, various ways to act or not to act. Because Magick operates within the greater laws of the universe, it remains true that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Your analysis of the options to any given situation must include an understanding of the consequences, to the best of your ability. Sometimes, a third or fourth option is better than the either/ or selection people think are their only choices. The corollary is to always think before you act.

• The job isn’t done until you’ve put away the tools and cleaned up the mess.    This is true whether you’re doing your math homework, building a model, or casting a spell. Your task is not complete until you have put everything in its place and returned your space to its neutral state. A Magick Circle left in disarray will drain the focus from your working and undo what you have worked to create.

• Keep silent regarding a Magickal work for 24 hours, lest your analysis create doubt, thereby weakening the Intention that binds your spell.  As we have discussed, your intention will control your results. Once your working is complete and the space has been returned to its proper state, then you need to keep silent about what you have done. Analysis can lead to doubt that will degrade your intention and focus, thereby reducing the positive energy flowing into your spell. You should immediately record what you did and how you felt in your Journal. Wait 24 hours, then discuss your working with those you trust. After this waiting period you can begin to explore what results you can observe and analyze how you accomplished the working, with an eye toward making the working stronger then next time.

As you travel the path of the Apprentice these Rules will strengthen and protect you. Learn them well.

No man is an Island! Yes! Everyone need one another.  And this theme goes the same to all people.

Before i used to be a loner and silent.  Only the deaf can hear the true sound of silence that goes in my mind before.  I used to hide my self away in the presence of many people cause it gives me more headache.

Beore people come to me to see me and hear me. Now i went out of my cave to see the reality that people is doing in their world.

I am now exposed to the reality that people need one another to live.

Even in the animal world these theme apply the same.

There is a prey and a predator.

In my world that i am living with, i am very greatful to the people who help me to cope up with the system.

To my partner and bestfriend, who always take care of me, to my team mates at the spa who teach me to become more receptive to clients needs, and to my manager and trainor who keeps me going strong and still to reach my dreams in our small company.

Thank You Very Much!!!

A lot of people now-a-days are stressing themselves at work.  It is not a choice for them to be stressed out but a compulsory action that been brought out at work.

I am now with them.  Waking up early to play the morning rush of the busiest street in the metro.  Swarming with people to cope up with the daily quota  of lifestyle. and to encounter weird people around you adding up  the pressure that burn’s you out.

Coping up with the daily activity of the real life is a hard task.  But surviving the the is a complementary reward that you will get after the long day of work.

Tapping on your shoulder, and recognizing your work motivates you to work more harder and make better results.  Filling up your mind that you are part of the team will give you a sense of responsibility to work as one.

But sometimes, even though all of the motivation that been done it does not sink in to your mind but instead you become more pessimist than ever.  People depends on your ability, but if you don’t trust your self you will fail and fail everyone with you.

I remember a hym in the church that: no one live’s for one’s self, but everyone is responsible to each other.

That song make’s sense to me that my every action is connected to the effect from other persons lives.

In my daily life, i make sure to inspire my self on positive thought’s by creating positive affirmation of the things that i will do.

By motivating your self with positive affirmations, you can do great things.

You are designed to be a great person. MAke a habit of inspiring your self to become a great person.

And sooner, you’ll achieve to be GREAT!
