What the Bible says about psychics

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" -- Genesis 1:27   Note: "male" and "female" gender are only relevant to life in the physical world, a creation of nature as a method of perpetuating physical vehicles of life. Although the concepts of "male" and "female" also exist in the Astral worlds, they do so because the people living their still believe that the physical world is reality, and they perpetuate that illusion in the next phase of life in order to feel comfortable, or "at home".   As immortal Spirits we are neither male or female, we are androgynous as is The Source or God. Our Higher Self Who is the sum of all physical lives has experienced numerous physical lives as both male and female gender. Anyone who thinks that "male" is superior in any way to "female", usually because they believe "God" is "male", is being driven by the ego and lack of knowledge of their true Spiritual nature.   "For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring'" -- Acts 17:28   "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you" -- John 14:20   So what do these phrases tell us exactly?   These all demonstrate one fundamental truth; that each and every one of us is "made" in the Spiritual image of God, not in a physical sense as people often believe; God is not "male".   The principle that has become known as "God", i.e. what I will refer to as the "God principle" may be thought of as everything in existence, all that Is. Nothing exists outside of the Universe, and therefore of God, and everyone and everything has its Being within the Universe, within the infinite Mind of "God".   The God principle is therefore The First Cause, our Prime Creator, infinite, conscious, intelligent, vibrating Energy.   We "live and move and have our Being" within this great Energy field as individuated Energy fields "made" in the image of God, the macrocosm, and as such we share the same powers of Creation as "children of God", the microcosm. I should point out that as Energy we were never "created" as such; Energy cannot be created or destroyed.   This then is where The Law of Attraction becomes important to the way we create our experiential reality.   Everyone, without exception as a "Son" or "Daughter" of God has the same powers of creation, but in order to realize those powers, certain principles need to be observed.   One of these principles is faith. The Bible or Jesus teach the importance of faith time and time again. But it is important to first define the word "faith" in the context in which it is written in the Bible.   "Faith" is not some abstract "belief" based upon what someone else has said, faith is rather a very powerful feeling, a knowing and trusting beyond all doubt that we do indeed have God-given powers which will manifest anything at all in accordance with our thoughts.   Here is what the Bible says on faith:   "Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith". -- Mark 11:23   And Jesus admonished his disciples for not being able to achieve their wishes due to a lack of faith in their own God-given powers:   "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." -- Matthew.17:20   Here Jesus is saying that nothing is impossible, and that we are only limited by our belief in our ability to create in accordance with thought. In fact we have no limitations; moving a mountain would be simple to anyone who had the faith in their own God-given ability to do so.   The source of our ability to achieve anything we desire is the Subconscious Mind. The Subconscious Mind is infinitely powerful, beyond the comprehension of most who fail to understand the powers of their own Subconscious Mind.   The Subconscious Mind is not a separate Mind, but rather an aspect, by far the largest aspect of our total Mind. I should point out that the brain is not the Mind; the Mind resides in every cell, molecule, atom, subatomic particle and quanta of Energy that comprise the Energy field that constitutes what we perceive with the five physical senses as our "body".   The Subconscious Mind will accept any sustained impression, particularly fuelled by emotion, and therefore any sustained thought, and bring it into manifestation without question. It is the task of the conscious Mind therefore to choose carefully which sustained thoughts and impressions the Subconscious Mind receives.   This is what the Bible says about these important truths:   "Marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well". -- Psalm 139:14   The "Soul" in this context is the Subconscious Mind.   The Subconscious Mind controls every aspect of our body as well as our individual experiential reality, and has so from the moment of conception. The Subconscious Mind originally created our body from the genetic blueprint contributed by both parents, maintaining every function including for example, heartbeat, breathing, digestion, immune system, cell regeneration and much more; in fact every component of the body is controlled by the Subconscious Mind by communicating the levels of Mind that comprise them.   This is the basis of true healing. If we wish to heal ourselves we simply impress our wishes on the Subconscious Mind as if it is a reality Now, and the Subconscious Mind then executes the wish immediately and completely. We therefore have total control over every aspect of our body including health, healing and bodily characteristics, appearance and function; they are not subject to some external factor, although of course wrongful eating for example will result in disease if left under the control of the cravings and ego driven desires of the conscious Mind.   Likewise if we wish for something to manifest into our experience, the Subconscious Mind will do this every time through its intimate connection with the Universal Mind; the Mind of God.   However, it is absolutely crucial that we know these powers beyond any doubt.   Doubt is a powerful vibration which tells the Subconscious Mind that your conscious Mind, your ego, does not believe the subconscious Mind can achieve your wishes, which, as many have already discovered, will become your experience, a reason why The Law of Attraction does not appear to work for some people.   An excellent way of impressing your wishes on the Subconscious Mind is by prayer. Now prayer is a whole new subject and one which I will discuss in the future, but let us define what "prayer" is not.   Prayer is not mechanically reciting a verse either from memory, read from a book, or by repeating words after someone else. These things might be called "prayer", but in reality they will have very little or no effect beyond a personal satisfaction.   True prayer is designed to influence reality, for example changing something in our lives. This is what the bible says about prayer:   Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. -- Matthew. 21:22   Now it is important to note here that "believing" does not mean a dogmatic belief in for example "God". Many people think that if they "believe" in God or Jesus or the Bible or some other religious icon or concept, that alone would be sufficient to "please" God enough to deliver the request and later admit them to "Heaven".   This is a complete misinterpretation of the true meaning of prayer.   God, the Universe is incapable of being flattered, or "pleased" or gratified in some way; they are all very human concepts that do not apply to the Infinite.   So let us look at that statement again:   "Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."   This is saying that if when you pray, in other words you "ask" for something, knowing beyond all doubt it is already yours, then so shall it be.   Another of the disciples confirms this when he said:   What things soever ye desire, when ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them -- Mark 11:24   So you see; these important truths for using The Law of Attraction are emphasized time and again throughout the Bible.   The reason is this; true prayer is not and never was intended to be dogmatic in nature, or conform to the creed or dogma of others, it is rather a science, in other words true prayer is used in the unshakable knowledge that immutable Universal principles will be influenced in the direction of the prayer, or rather the thoughts and emotions behind the prayer which must always be stated as if you have already received the object of the prayer.   Another important aspect of prayer is "faith".   Now again "faith" has been very misunderstood in the past taken by people to mean that providing they have faith to their chosen religion, or to an icon of that religion, they will be duly rewarded by having a request granted, and eventually be allowed into "Heaven".   This is not the meaning of true faith. True faith is an absolute faith in the infinite power of the Subconscious Mind, that whatever you wish for has already manifested, and is not subject to some external influence.   Now this is a very important point to note; the power of Jesus as a healer was due to the faith that his followers placed in him. They believed that Jesus was Divine and the "son of God", of course we all are, and that he had special God-given powers of healing.   If the people he healed had not believed this, then they would not have been healed. Here is an excellent demonstration of this:   "And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, according to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, see that no man know it". Matthew 9:28-30.   The blind man was healed by the power of his own Subconscious Mind due to his faith that Jesus possessed special Divine powers. He knew, beyond doubt, he would regain his site and so it was. Had the blind man not believed that Jesus possessed very special healing powers, he could not have regained his sight, because he would not have sent the impression of "sight" to the Subconscious Mind to restore.   Jesus knew this when he said "see that no man know it" he was cautioning about telling others lest they mock him, and cause him to lose his faith in the healing process.   If he lost his faith in the healing powers of Jesus, upon which his healing rested, and started to believe it could not be true, then his Subconscious Mind would have receive the thought that "his sight could not be true", that would be his reality, and he would lose his sight again.   Mark confirms this when he said:   "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" -- Mark 9:23   Again though; a word of caution here as with "faith". "Believe" does not mean some abstract belief in God or Jesus or any other external agency, it means belief in who we are and the powers we accordingly have available to us through our own Mind in particular subconscious Mind, powers that are infinite and unlimited, powers that are only restricted by the ability to believe in those powers.   As Matthew rightly said;   "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you".-- Matthew 7:7   We have confirmation of these truths in this passage:   "Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways". Job 22:28.   What this means is simple; once you have experienced the power of The Law of Attraction by utilizing Universal principles, then you will know beyond doubt it is real and true, and will go forth in joy in realization of being a Divine creator.   This is why it is important to achieve your first success; when you do your life will change and your life will rejoice from that point on in the knowledge that you really do control your own reality and your own destiny.   As Mark said:   "Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole" -- Mark 10:52   And again; "faith" does not mean in religious terms; faith means true faith in the knowledge of our true reality and our infinite powers of the Subconscious Mind as an integral aspect of the Universal Mind to manage our own life and destiny.   It is important to reconcile the union of conscious and Subconscious Minds.   Very often the the ego or the conscious Mind will object to your use of The Law of Attraction because it prefers to be in control, and will want to convince you that it is all fantasy.   An important part of progression is to subjugate the ego completely. The first step however is to silence your conscious Mind when using The Law of Attraction, because your first success will quell the doubt of the ego.   The Bible teaches this in the following verse:   "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven". -- Matthew 18:19   The "two of you" referred to in this passage are the conscious and Subconscious Minds. Before anything can be achieved, both need to be in harmony. The Subconscious Mind is always in harmony and never argues about anything, so it is the conscious Mind, the ego, that needs to be convinced.   The Law of Attraction and other Universal principles are always in immutable operation. Every thought, every emotion is a cause with a corresponding effect whether intended or not.   So if your thoughts towards others are not of a positive nature, or worse you wish them harm in some way, the result will be such that whatever you thought of others will be attracted into your own experience.   "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again". Matthew 7:1-2   The fact is this; from a purely temporal perspective you cannot know why a person is who they are, or why they are acting in the way they do. Judging people by your own standards, expectations or prejudices is a serious mistake, and one which has to manifest in your own experience in the same way sooner or later.   This is the meaning of "karma" which is not a punishment and reward system, but rather the immutable, perfect operation of the Universe through which we learn by experience.   Very often the emotion that blocks people achieving their desires is fear in one of its numerous manifestations. As the saying goes "there is nothing to fear but fear itself".   Fear is a destructive emotion alongside its close relative "worry".   There is nothing to fear because we all control, manage and create our own reality.   If you are experiencing fear, then the best action, rather than fight it, is to ask your Subconscious Mind to free you from fear. The bible in fact teaches exactly this:   "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears". Psalm 34:4.   The "Lord" in this case is again a metaphor for the Subconscious Mind.   One of the most common fears of people next to the illusion of the change known as "death" is the perceived inevitability of "ageing".   In fact people only age because they believe they can, as a result of programming from an early age.   People believe that at a certain age you must gain gray hair, teeth fall out, wrinkled skin and then comes mental degradation and senility before finally the release of "death".   Here is the truth; our entire physical body renews itself constantly. Some parts renew in hours, some days, some weeks, others perhaps months, but after a short time we have a brand new body; this applies to everyone in physical life   So why is it then that people age?   The reason is because they believe they will age the Subconscious Mind happily accepts that belief and manifests the signs of aging in accordance with those beliefs.   Some might say that it is due to oxidation of tissue due to free radicals in the blood. This may or may not be true, but even if it is, the Subconscious Mind will use whatever mechanism the Subconscious Mind deems appropriate to achieve the desire in the quickest, most efficient and most effective way, and if that is by free radicals then so be it.   The body cells are forming body parts in accordance with the instructions of the Subconscious Mind. If the Subconscious Mind instructs the intelligent skin, hair and eye cells to form wrinkled skin, gray hair and poor eyesight, that is what they will do.   "Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle". Job 29:2-4.   This passage from the bible demonstrates that once you know that you cannot truly age then that will be the reality, and the reality will be:   "His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth" -- Job 33:25.   I   Their is only one ultimate reality and one truth, a truth so infinitely powerful that its light will penetrate where no false teaching can ever go, a truth so intense and unmistakable for what it is that there is no need to point out the false truths, creed and dogma originating at a time when the originators either did not understand, or sought to distort the truth for their own convenience.   Every belief system, religion and tradition has elements of truth, but the absolute truth is a thread that runs through all.   Be conscious of one most important truths. It is fine to desire material things that genuinely help the learning process, and to bring genuine joy. No material thing however, in and of itself, obtained by the demands of the ego, or vanity, or to look better than others can bring true happiness, fulfillment and above all the very reason we are here; Spiritual progress.   "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" -- Galatians 5:22-23   And finally always remember; only you can create your own reality by the thoughts you hold in your Mind; the Bible also knows this truth:   "For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" -- Proverbs 23:7.
