Believe it…or not!

Question. Do you believe in psychics? Fortune tellers? People who can predict the future? As much as I’d like to give a clear cut answer, I’m going to firmly answer “NO, but.” No, I don’t believe people can predict the future in the way shown in the movies, or on those psychic hotlines. I do believe however, that there are people who are unbelievably sensitive to seeing the cause of things before they occur or are seen by anyone else. I also believe that there are some things that defy scientific explanation.

I can state that with some degree of certainty because I am one of those people. Trust me, I’m not a charlatan, preying on the old and infirm, defrauding them of their hard earned cash. Far from it. I have had experiences though…which defy all rational explanation. Let me give you a few examples, and let you decide for yourself.

I’m at home, and I get the strongest urge to call my friend. Like, it’s really strong. Call his house to find out he’s been in an accident. I was at work…had the strongest urge to call home. Repeatedly, like a clarion call. Call home, call home. I ignored it. Came home in the morning to find out that a relation passed away that night. I had a dream about someone being sick. Deathly ill, in fact. Had I known this person better, I would have straight out asked her if she were ok. She got breast cancer several months later. I had an overwhelming sense of peace and dread that I’d die in NYC. When I was walking back to the hotel room while in NYC, a massive icicle missed hitting me on the head. The feeling disappeared after that. And so on, and so on.

So…tell me! Do I have a gift? Do I have what Stephen King called “The shine” in his book? Or is it just coincidence? Believe it or not!

I have a very strong intuition. I will grant you that. Perhaps I’m more in tune with things that just aren’t visible to most people. I’ll take that. The problem is that sometimes I use my intuition and not base my decisions on any logical facts. No facts, no hard numbers, etc. Just a gut theory based on what the universe is telling me. Sometimes what ends up happening is that my “gut feeling of the universe” coincides with exactly what I want to happen. Amazing how that works!! LOL.

So in the future? I promise to anchor my desires and dreams with a bit more reality. A bit more tangible facts, even if that means I don’t get what I want. Or who I want. My intuition is still amazing, and I’ll never ignore it. But I won’t totally let it have charge of my behaviour and actions. That cause damage and intense hurt, and I’d like to avoid that. Now if it can give me immense joy and pleasure? Bring it on.

Believe it, or not!!
