introduction
W hen I was in college, everyone in my dorm knew I was a clairvoyant. You see, the walls were paper thin, and I was working for one of those psychic hotlines in which I would give clairvoyant readings over the phone. My next-door neighbor in the hallway was always very shy around me and seemed too frightened to talk or return my smiles and waves. I never heard a peep out of her until one night, she knocked on my door. I opened the door and she stood timidly in the dim light of the hallway looking at me with earnest and friendly eyes.
Theres a spider in my room, she said. Will you kill it for me?
My jaw dropped. Then I couldnt help but chuckle. What makes you think I kill spiders? I asked. Im a vegetarian; I love all living creatures.
Her face fell. I uh , she began. Then the rest spilled out in a rush. I figured that since you tell fortunes you must be into all sorts of spooky Halloween stuff and maybe oh, I dont know She looked up at me balefully. I imagine she thought I might like to throw the spider into a cauldron and cast a spell.
I went into her room and she pointed out the offending arachnid, which was still lying on her bedspread. Gently, I captured it in a drinking glass, carried it down the three flights of stairs, and released it into the bushes outside the dorm hall. She followed me sheepishly and grinned. Thanks, she said. Im sorry I implied you were evil or bad or something. What is it that you really do?
Thus began one of my most satisfying exchanges with a layperson that would alter anothers perceptions about clairvoyance; many would later follow. You dont have to make a huge effort to promote clairvoyance, even if you believe it has changed your life. In fact, the best thing you can do to advance the cause is to make an effort not to shy away from intrusive questions and curious eyes.
Being clairvoyant is a big responsibility but it also comes with great blessings. When you are clairvoyant, a whole new world of sensory experience can open to you. The past and the future can seem more accessible and even better, more changeable. Best of all, you may be able to see some people whom you dearly miss, if distance or even death has separated you.
Imagine being able to see true visions of the past, present, and future with your own eyes. You can have the gift of powerful psychic vision, and it will feel natural and normal. Forget those movies where a clairvoyant doubles over in pain or shock, wincing because of terrifying premonitions. Clairvoyance can be a source of gentle wisdom, the sort of message that appears to you while sipping a cup of tea, rather than one the universe can deliver like a whack over the head with the clue-by-four.
Clairvoyance (clear-seeing) is the ability to see literal or symbolic truth using your eyes or the minds eye. Being labeled psychic unfortunately carries with it certain expectations. It implies that you know everything. However, psychic perception simply means that you receive information through senses other than your usual five. Yes, you see with your eyes, however most of the perception of light that enters your eyes is actually processed and made useful in your brain. Thus clairvoyance, like physical eyesight, is something that is mostly performed by your brain. However, it also has a special link with spiritual ability. Think of it like your physical eyesight is governed by your body and your mind, while your clairvoyant sight is regulated by your mind and your spirit.
This book is designed for the beginner. With it, you will be able to learn how to experience clairvoyance on your own terms. Whether youve been struggling all your life to control your ability to see flashes of visions or youve never seen anything more than whats in front of you, youll be able to develop your natural talents and potential abilities. Well start with honing ordinary powers of observation. The natural world is full of omens waiting to be noticed and put to use.
When youre ready to move on to seeing things that are out of the ordinary, you can start with your eyes closed. The world of dreams is the best place for any budding psychic to start understanding the strange symbols and vibrant landscape of clairvoyant thought. Besides, youve probably already been dreaming all your life. Once you start gaining mastery over the understanding of dreams, you can then develop the ability to meditate and even go into a trance to see things in your minds eye the same way you experience dreams.
