Psychic Connections

This book is about psychic experiences I have had in my seventy years of life. These are true stories, and at the heart of each one of them is an expanded awareness where the ordinary becomes extra-ordinary. These experiences are psychic and divine to me. I feel that I have had crossover experiences in time and space. My stories are about extrasensory perception, dreams, déjà vu, spontaneous healing, reincarnation, and the continuity of life.

In everyday speech we may not use psychic terms, yet everyone knows of them. Isn’t there a ring of familiarity to . . . “I was at the right place, at the right time and . . . I got the job . . . I met my wife . . . found a house?” We have all made statements like these at one time or another. An occurrence like that is called a coincidence. Carl Jung called them “meaningful coincidences,” and so do I. In my observations, these events come at a perfect time: They are synchronistic because they happen when you are ready for them.

Did you ever think of a friend and then your phone rings and it is that friend calling you? What happened there? I believe that thoughts between people connect. Did the thought travel faster than the telephone connection? The same connection is in action when letters between friends cross in the mail.

I have had premonitions about future happenings. Sometimes I’d follow the idea and I was rewarded with success. Other times I didn’t use the information and then the results were hit and miss. Long ago I read a study that said the most successful company presidents gather facts and add in their intuition to make their decisions. They may call that their “gut reaction,” but that is just another name for intuition. Our intuition is a form of perception.

Psychic experiences are divinely connected experiences. They have an element of the invisible world to them, the world of spirit. The dictionary says psychic is that which pertains to the human mind or psyche. Psyche is a noun for soul or spirit. In combination, the process involves the mind and also the spirit. I trust my five senses to learn things: I know my world by sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. And, I acknowledge the information I get from my sixth sense.

Here is another example of perception: Have you ever met a stranger and asked, “Do I know you from somewhere?” You try to find the common thread, but neither of you can remember any previous meeting. Consider this: You may know that person from a past life. Reincarnation is the theory that we live many lives, and it claims we know each other when we meet again.

Dreams are an age-old source of premonitions. The Bible tells of dreams that were used as predictions that came to pass. Sigmund Freud said that dreams were the royal road to knowing the unconscious mind, where keys to the past, present, and future are stored. I’ll share with you the dreams I’ve had at night and even in the daytime—dreams that have come true.

The most common definition of the word psychic is the noun for a person who easily calls up information from inside and doesn’t have to wait for it to show up in a situation. I have asked a professional psychic for information, and I have been given accurate information about my past and future.

I hope you will enjoy the wonder and the humor in these experiences. Let them jog your memory bank and think of the times when you knew the inside truth of a matter; a time when you were guided by spirit as a persistent thought or a hunch or a response to a prayer. I have learned to trust my inner guidance; it helps me to navigate through life.

Is everyone psychic? Yes, each and every one of us—because our consciousness is connected to spirit and helped by that still, small voice within which is our birthright.

There is a force in the Universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
