I was raised to believe that anything that had to do with psychics was evil and wrong. However, as I went through my teen's I noticed a 'ability' spring up, if you will, that allowed me to 'know' when something just wasn't right. I was heavily bullied in school, I would be walking down the hallway and would just get a strange feeling and what I discovered was when I'd go around a corner I'd see one of the jerks that harassed me all the time. As I began to pay more attention to these things, they got more clear and I'd duck into a class room and wait for the nasty guys to pass.
I remember a particular time when I was 17, I lived in Southern Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. There were a lot of woods around our house and there was a trail that went down deep into the woods that I would walk on from time to time, it went down to an old cemetery dating back to the civil war. I began to walk down the trail and I got this really strange feeling, my hair began to raise up on my head and then I got chills and I just knew.. not to go into the woods that day. I turned back and went home. The next day I got on my ATV and headed down the trail, a few hundred feet from where I had been the day before.. I saw fresh bear tracks and there were bear cub tracks mixed in. I remember just sitting there, with my mouth hanging open. What if I had ventured into the woods the day before??! I would have come face to face with a black mamma bear and two cubs! Yikes! I was so happy that I paid attention to the feeling.
Fast forward into my 30's, the feelings or vibes continued through my 20's and got stronger as we I went into my 30's. I found out that it was't just me that experienced this, my maternal grandfather had something similar and my Mom and sisters did as well, but for them it comes as dreams from time to time.
For some reason this past year has been filled with quite a bit of activity for me in regards to this. Sometimes I'll just know when something bad is about to happen or what a person is feeling. Some people I find are easier to read, sometimes they'll be talking and I'll have the image of what they are explaining pop into my head and it's exactly as they are explaining. I was chatting with one of my real estate clients and she was getting ready to tell me about a new house she was listing and an image popped into my head and I asked her "Does it have X, Y, Z?". She asked how I knew .. and when I told her she freaked out.. lol
Now mind you.. it doesn't happen all the time.. nor do I try to initiate it. In fact, it's been months since this has occurred for me.
About a year ago I was leaving work to go meet with a former spiritual director who lived an hour away from me, as I was driving out of town, a very strong thought popped into my head "Go by the Church rectory, Father M. has something to give Fr. T." I was like.. wth.. so I turned around immediately and headed back into town. I stopped by the Church and knocked on the rectory door (House that Priests live in). Fr. M. answered and I told him that I was going down to see Fr. T. He responded "Oh hey Mike.. I got an envelope for Fr. T, can you hold on a sec while I go grab it?". I was flabbergasted!
A few months later I was preparing for bed and was just crawling into bed when a very powerful thought struck me, "Mrs T is dying right now, pray for her soul, she needs your prayers as she passes from this world into the next". Then immediately following that was "Mrs. H. is on the verge of death, pray for her". I wasn't too sure what to think, but I got down on my knees and prayed. I crawled into bed and the following morning I loaded up facebook to shockingly see a message from Mrs. T's daughter announcing with great sadness the death of her mother the night before, she had been in hospice care for some time suffering from brain cancer. I also saw another message from the husband of Mrs. H, he was taking her to the hospital suffering from complications with her cancer battle, by the time she arrived at the hospital, she was coding and thankfully they were able to resuscitate her. She sadly passed away 6 months later, but was given that extra time to spend with her 9 children and loving husband.
What do you think this is? Is this intuition? Is this some psychic ability? Should I seek out ways to make this clearer or just let it be and when it comes and it comes?
