Paranormaal is heel normaal

PARANORMAL IS VERY NORMAL ( de Nederlandse vertaling volgt binnenkort)
door Manon Tromp
The word ‘paranormal’ can give various reactions, but usually one of disbelief. For many people paranormal means something of another world, not of this one: it is scary and considered to be science fiction. Paranormal means that one can observe more than a person usually does with the regular senses. These observations are usually contributed to a psychic, someone who is gifted with a sixth sense. One would expect that a normal person would not be able to have these observations, or maybe you would think that, wouldn’t you?
What is normal? Who describes it, who decides it? How do we come to this conclusion and is this true? It is time that we pose this question, because it is becoming more obvious that we still do not have all the answers. Scientific research and people’s experiences teach us that there is more out there, than we have assumed so far. An increasing amount of people are getting into their own research, because they can not accept what just appears to be so. They feel intuitively that more is possible and that there is more than just our world. Many questions are being asked about who we are, where we come from and why we are here. These questions have always been there, but now it seems there is an explosion of more and more people trying to find answers. Books are rapidly appearing explaining the paranormal and the paranormal issue is becoming very popular in movies and television series, like Charmed and Medium. Psychics everywhere are doing excellent business and even science is starting to go more public with their research of this phenomena. Quantum physics is one of these sciences and even parapsychologists are being taken more serious.
Parapsychology is the area of psychology which researches the possible psychic powers of the human being which scientifically seem unexplainable. Parapsychology has not been acknowledged for a long time as a science and has been the ridicule of scientists in general. This has mostly to do with the fact that it has been very difficult to prove results based on the basic regular science norms and values. These values demand hard proof and evidence, but because you are dealing with invisible forces, these evidences are very hard to get. From this you can conclude that it is time that new values and norms are being added to the existing ones. Science operates with logical and analytical thinking, which is very much a left brain activity. Our paranormal power is a right brain activity, so maybe it is about time we balance science.
Paranormal powers
What are paranormal powers? Which powers do we refer to? In the beginning of this article, I talked about our observations outside our five regular senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling. With these senses we hear birds sing, see a beautiful sunset, feel the soft sheet on our body, smell a lovely flower and taste a sour apple. However each of us has had unexplained observations, like seeing a energy shape or hearing a voice when nobody is around or knowing that the phone is going to ring and who it will be. These are observations which are usually being kept to us, because another person might call you crazy. These observations are usually done by our sixth sense, but not everyone is aware that they have a sixth sense and the way they can come about, can be different for each person. The best is to observe which seems to be your talent and work with that. Paranormal is more than just seeing ghosts, which is often associated with this word. It is a scary thought for most people just the idea they can suddenly see their passed away granny, so they shut of their connection to their sixth sense. Not only that, but the idea that there could be more between heaven and earth is something not everyone is willing to accept. They choose to deny this and carry on with their usually lonely lives and that way loose the opportunity to create a better life. By developing your paranormal powers, it is possible to get a better grip on yourself and your environment. For this, it is fundamental that you see the earth, the universe and especially us as energy. Science has already proven that we exist out of small energy particles and that makes us energy beings and to be able to observe energy and to understand it, we need our paranormal powers. The energetic exchanges that take place constantly influences our thinking and our behaviour, so the more conscious be you are of the exchanges, the better you can react and make your choices in life. Often, because energy is not visible with our eyes, people think that it does not exist and so it is not important to them to take into consideration. This is one of the biggest misconceptions that exist and it blocks important changes of consciousness that are needed to develop and grow. It leads daily to poor decisions on a high level in politics and big companies. We are more than just our bodies and only when we change our thinking, we can move on. We can then create a better reality and not be dependent on influences we think are outside our control.
Old Civilizations
Our western society is based on rational thinking, but in older days this used to be not the case: they were more in touch with the paranormal and used it daily. When the Christian Church took over, old behaviour based on energetic connection with the earth, was quickly banned. The only connection which was allowed, was the connection to God and how you did was decided for you. We still experience the consequences of these dogmatic teachings and it is for most people very difficult to release themselves from that conditioning and to be open to connect with nature. The Celts for instance, used to live in harmony with the energy of the earth and the planets: what happened outside of them, was in direct connection to what happened inside them. To seek advice from psychics like druids and even witches was considered to be very natural and normal. The same applies to other civilizations like the native Indians, the aboriginals and the bush people from Africa. The interesting thing is that they all developed sort of the same customs in how to connect with nature and the earth, without knowing of each others existence. It may seem strange that I call them civilizations and not primitives, because I feel these people were and still are in much better contact with inner beings and their environment than western people are. I will even suggest that we are the primitives in this and I am quite certain that in about a hundred years from now, we will be considered like that. We may be civilized in our own eyes, because we have wealth and material riches, but the real wealth is to be found in our souls. Unfortunately many of the old civilizations do not exist anymore, because we have done much to intervene and extinguish them. Those who are left can be our teachers, so we should treasure them and learn as much as we can from their wisdom.
To work with your paranormal powers
So far so good, but how do you begin to work with your paranormal powers? There are several ways to do that, but it is important to find your own way. The power is there, but needs to be practised and experienced quite a lot. It is kind of like developing your cooking skills in order to be a chef. You also need to find out where your talent lies: clairvoyance, sensing, Clair knowing, how do you find out? You can do a workshop or pay a visit to a psychic or a spiritual advisor, but be sure to trust your instincts, because not everyone will be suited to help you develop. Do not be impressed by someone, just because they are more advanced than you. The important thing is to feel safe and secure and to feel that you can trust them. We are all equal souls and one can have their talents more developed than another, so what? Trust your intuition, your gut feeling, because that is what you need to work with to develop your powers. Try not to be influenced by fear of the unknown, by uncertainties or other emotions and keep a diary to see how you develop. Do not get carried away by the stories of ghosts and evil spirits, because than you give it energy and it will come about. Be positive, grounded and feel the love that supports you: you can not go wrong.
