I am new to this sight. I read the post marked in May about the Inner Voice. I have questions that I have no where else to turn concerning.
Please understand, I am a member of a wonderful Church that has been so supportive of me over the last couple of years since I joined, and they have treated me as if I am family, and yet, I have had some unusual experiences in my past that I have no other words to describe other than psychic abilities.
Some within the Church know that I am gifted; especially in my ability to "see" when others are being themselves, or if they are putting on a front.
This past weekend, I took an Internet test from Tickle to gauge what my psychic abilities are. It came back with Precognition, Retrocognition, Clairvoyance, Remote Viewing and Telepathy.
I am both relieved and alarmed! I am relieved because now I know that I am not the only one! I am alarmed, because I have no idea the full extent what all of this means.
There are things that I remember from my past about things that could not be explained any other way than by a psychic connection.
When I was in the 7th Grade, the guy I had a crush on was in a fight at school. I was behind over 150 students and didn't actually see the fight, but I knew, and then I became very weak, It was as if my strength left me and transferred to him. After the fight was over, I had a terrible headache for a couple of hours. My friend had a gash on his forehead over his eye, but I was the one feeling the pain. As I sat in class, I remember what could only be described as a telepathic conversation with him. It was almost as if in my mind I was arguing with him. He told me that he didn't want me to suffer, that he would be alright and allow him to feel the pain that was rightfully his. At that moment, I was free. Later that afternoon, I spoke with him on the phone. He confirmed everything that I had felt. He said that in the middle of the fight, all of a sudden it was as if he had the strength of 2 people and that he didn't feel the cut on his head until they began to put the stitches in, and he said, that for some reason, at that moment, he thought about me. I have never told anyone that story until writing it here, now.
I do not believe that these abilities are "from the devil" as many fundamentalist faiths teach. My current Church, fortunately does believe in spiritual gifts - I am just unsure what they would say to this type of development.
In my years of searching the one thing I have learned is that Semantics have a strange effect on people!
Christians believe in "The gift of Prophecy" But cringe at the thought of someone being Clairvoyant!<img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
As far as the Inner Voice is concerned, I listen to and have conversations with my Inner Voice daily. I believe that the voice is from Our Heavenly Father, guiding, directing and encouraging me. I have learned to listen to My Inner Consciousness because it perceives the things I have yet to realize. I do not see the voice as being my own inner thoughts, I see it as a telepathic link to the divine. I nurture this relationship privately. Some may call it prayer, but many people list their requests without taking the time to 'listen' for an answer. The answers come in ways that make sense to you as an individual.
Now that I know what to call these abilities, I intend to look up more information and manage to control them, because I have to! With out control they invade my life at inappropriate times. I feel that I would be an irresponsible steward of this gift with which I have been blessed.
Any encouragement or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Angela_W
