Develop Psychic Abilities Lesson 1 - Belief
Belief is an extremely deep subject, but it is the first step to being able to develop psychic abilities for a very good reason. If you don't believe in psychic abilities or believe that you are capable of using psychic abilities, then you will never learn to use them to their full ability.
It is important to understand that there are many types of beliefs. We may or may not believe there is a higher power and depending on how strong that believe is, it can have a massive effect on our ability to develop psychic abilities.
If you paid attention in history class as you were growing up, then you remember how throughout history, peoplehave been killed for their belief in things such as psychic abilities and that can leave a scar that is hard to overcome.
Some religions still teach that anyone that has psychic abilities is not much better than being the devil incarnate, and believe it or not, even today, in the year 2011, there are people actually being killed in some of the African nations for nothing more than having spoken of a psychic ability and given someone a warning.
Then there is the problem where, for the vast majority of people, they simply can not reproduce on demand scientifically verifiable results and there are many who doubt the existence of psychic abilities for this reason alone .
For the reasons listed above and many more, we have buried deep within us this doubt. It really doesn't matter if you have had 100's of psychic experiences where you knew things that saved lives or helped you in some way, the first time the abilities are not there when you really needed them, doubt starts to creep back in.
It all adds together to create this mean, ugly monster called doubt and doubt can take your budding ability and turn it into a pile of mush if you allow it to happen.
I can not tell you how to deal with your religious beliefs on the subject. I can only ask you to remember that even the bible speaks of prophets and a prophet is nothing more than a person that has fine tuned psychic abilities.
I personally believe that God intended for us to all have psychic abilities and it was the people in authority, whether that be religious heads or government, that have denied the abilities for so long. After all, if you stop and think about how corrupt virtually every religion and government is these days, it is pretty obvious they have been hiding things for a long time and the one thing they most assuredly would not want is to have all their followers KNOWING what they were up to .
No matter what your reason for not believing in psychic abilities, if you are serious about learning to develop psychic abilities, you must find something or some way within yourself to overcome the doubt.
It is the same mechanism within the human mind as what happens when a woman is abused by her husband for a long period of time. He will daily tell her how worthless she is, how she can not do anything right and after a while, she start believing him.
She reaches the point of not being able to do much in life. She thinks she is not worthy of the good things in life and thinks she could never make it on her own without him, so the cycle keeps repeating and she stays a virtual slave to him.
You must decide you will not allow your thoughts, ideas, religious training or anything else to keep you from being able to develop psychic abilities.
It also important to be completely honest with yourself in where you personal beliefs are at. We often say, "I believe", but at the first sign of failure, we allow that nagging voice back into our heads to tell us, "this isn't real" or "you'll never be able to do this".
Do not allow yourself to become the battered wife. Know within your mind, body and soul that you are psychic. You can do this just as well as anyone else can do it and it is your right to use this abilities to help others.
For many people, it helps to turn to the age old use of the power of positive thinking. Go through your day, telling yourself over and over again, "I am psychic, I am psychic". If you need to spend days or even weeks repeating it to yourself, that is fine. Only you know how much your mind has been programmed with bad information and you have to overcome that doubt.
Never let your guard down and allow negative thoughts to enter into your mind on the subject. If you catch yourself starting to think negatively about psychic abilities, push that thought out of the way and immediately start to repeat "I am psychic".
I hope you will be one of the lucky ones that can easily overcome their doubt on the subject. But if you can not let go of the doubt, take some time to look around the internet at stories people have posted where psychic abilities have helped or saved them in some way and remember, nothing is either good or bad, it is the intent of the user that turns good things bad.
