Connecting With Spirits - How to Connect With the Supernatural

When I was a boy our family radio was stolen. After days of investigating who the thief was, he or she was not identified. Somebody suggested that we use the Ouija board to help us identify the thief. Sure enough the Ouija board spelled out the name of the thief. She was our neighbor. But the neighbor denied that she was the thief.

Connecting With Spirits Through the Ouija Board

Ouija board is a way of connecting with spirits. When we used the Ouija board on that occasion to identify the thief, we invoked the spirit of Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero who was executed for treason against the Spanish government in Manila. On other occasions we would invoke the spirit of the glass. We used a drinking glass rather than a planchette to point to the letters in the alphabet and numbers.

The Ouija board game is so popular that there are warnings from well-informed persons of the dangers of using this method to contact the spirits. Most of the warning comes from evangelical Christians. Psychologists on the other hand say that the movement of pointing to the letters of the alphabet and numbers is done by the subconscious mind of those participating in this game.

My opinion is that using the Ouija board to connect with the spirits is dangerous. While playing this game it is possible that some evil spirits will possess the participants and force them to do involuntary actions. There have been reports where this possession of spirits occurred.

To Connect With Spirits Unlearn

If you want to really connect with spirits and the supernatural in a safe way you need first to unlearn some things, especially if you have been educated through the Western system of education.

In the Western system of education we were taught that the world is composed of living and non-living things. We learned this in our high school biology and chemistry. This idea goes back to Aristotle who was instrumental in classifying the many plants and animals around us. Many of us memorized the phyla and families of these plants and animals.

We have to unlearn this idea of dividing things into living and non-living. The truth is that all things are living, even the dust we step on our way to work. Some primitive people, like the Mangyans of Mindoro, Philippines, instinctively know this truth that all things, even the stones, are living. They have not gone through this Western type of education.

All things are living because there is a spirit in all of them or, to put it in another way, all things are in spirit. There is no way something or somebody cannot be in spirit and yet exist. Just as matter occupies space or is in space, so also anything, whether matter or energy or anything else, is in spirit.

A person trained in Aristotelian logic may insist: But if you do not distinguish between living and non-living things, then what do you call the person who dies? Is he still living when you know that he is already dead, non-living?

My answer to that is that the person has stopped breathing, his body parts have ceased to function but he is still living. He has gone to another mode of living, and his body has gone into another mode of living because the body is still there although we call it a corpse.

Another idea we have to unlearn is the division of beings into natural and supernatural. We were taught in our religion classes that natural beings are the beings we can perceive with our senses and our reason. Supernatural beings are those divine and angelic beings, the spirits whom we cannot perceive by our senses and reason alone.

This division is misleading because we think that supernatural beings are above us in space and in ability. The prefix “super” literally means “above” in the original Latin. It makes us imagine that they are up there in the heavens and they can do more, much more than what we can do.

Experience tells us that the so-called supernatural world, the spirit world, is just around us, not just above us. We are in it and it is in us. As Jesus said, The kingdom of God is within you.

Having gotten rid of these two ideas of the division of things into living and non-living, and the division of beings into natural and supernatural, we now know that all things are living, are infused with spirit, and that we are living in a supernatural world and the spirits are living in our natural world. The so-called natural and supernatural worlds intermingle. There is really no need to distinguish them.

Spirits Are Always in Contact With Us

Having learned this truth and having been convinced of this reality, we now know that the spirits are always in contact with us. The analogy I can think of to illustrate this point is the analogy of the electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are all around us and go through us. They are the medium of radio and TV waves. Without the radio or TV receiver we would not know their existence by our five senses. But a live radio or TV functions because of these electromagnetic waves.

So also the spirits are all around us. It is we who fail to acknowledge their presence because of our upbringing. Because they are all around us we can connect with them anytime as long as we go on the spiritual mode. Just like we can connect with the radio station anytime as long as our receiver is on the same frequency as that of the radio station. But contacting the spirits is not like contacting our neighbors through our speech or bodies. Spirits do not have mouths or bodies. But they have intelligence, thoughts. We contact them by giving them our thoughts. We project to them our thoughts and they project to us their thoughts.

How We Connect With the Spirits

In the beginning of living in the spirit, burning incense, periods of deep meditation, chanting a mantra may help us in invoking the palpable action of the spirits upon us. But as we progress in our spiritual living communication with the spirits become habitual and simply natural and normal.

We communicate with Spirit God, the spirit angels or messengers, the spirits of persons dead or alive, the spirits of animals, of plants, of minerals, of earth elements. We do this simply by passing to them our thoughts, our ideas. Then they answer us by passing to us their thoughts, their ideas.

How do you know you are really communicating with the spirits and not just imagining that you are communicating with them? You know because you are in a spiritual mode, meaning you are on the same level or frequency with them. Just like you know that the radio is connected to the station because its receiver is on the same frequency as that of the radio station and sound is being produced from your radio.

All this is done by faith. Just as we see things through our body with our eyes, so also we see things through our spirit by our faith. Faith is the spiritual vision. Faith is the knob we turn to tune in to the spirit world. By faith we listen to what the spirits are telling us. Just as we were born normally with eyes to see, so also we exist as spirits normally equipped with faith to see spiritual things. The more we use this faculty or ability of faith, the more useful it is for us.

First, we think of the spirit we wish to contact. Then, we communicate with him our thought by just telling him our idea through our mind. Then we pause and listen in our mind for the idea from the spirit. The idea from the spirit will come. That is how simple it is. But we do this by faith and in faith.

There is no need to use the Ouija board to connect with spirits, with the supernatural. We have faith. We simply use it.

How to Open Your Sixth Sense

It was necessity which forced me to use my sixth sense before I even understood what this sixth sense was. As with our five ordinary senses we use them first before ever understanding what they are.

Deceptive Teachers Made Me Stumble into My Sixth Sense

In college I had teachers who would mislead us by telling us to study certain topics for the examination when they intended to give us other topics for that examination. For example, one teacher told us that our examination would be about verbs. When we got the examination questions they were all about nouns, nothing about verbs.

I was desperate in passing my examinations because my scholarship depended on getting high grades in my subjects. But if I trusted the word of those teachers who misled us in announcing the topics for the examinations I would get zero because I would study something which would not come out in the actual examination.

So I had to find ways to know, really know what would be the actual examination questions. The ordinary way to do this was to go to the room of those teachers and look at the questions they wrote for the examination. But to do this I would be accused of trespassing and also cheating if I got the actual questions.

What I did was to condition my mind. I would visualize what the teachers thought, then I would visualize the questions that he wrote for the examination. At first it did not work so well. But with constant practice I got to know the questions before the day of the examination. So I tried to study the answers to those questions. Sure enough when the examination papers were corrected I got the highest scores.

This was a case of using my sixth sense before I even understood what it was. My sixth sense revealed to me what my physical eyes could not see, the actual questions hid by the teachers in their rooms.

All of Us Have a Sixth Sense

If a normal person has five senses, she also has the sixth sense. She may not use it often or as often as she needs it but it is there. It is part of the creation of the Spirit in us.

As the dictionary defines it the sixth sense is "A power of perception seemingly independent of the five senses; keen intuition." Some call it ESP or Extra Sensory Perception.

So the question I want to answer is: How to open your sixth sense?

Why Open Your Sixth Sense?

But first we ask, Why do we open it? The answer is because for most people their sixth sense is, as it were, closed. It is like the closed eyes which cannot see, cannot be used as long as these are closed. So just as we have to open our eyes to use them, we have to open our sixth sense to use it.

The Steps to Open Your Sixth Sense

The first step you need to do is to be more aware of your five ordinary senses: the senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. The reason for this is that the sixth sense uses these five senses. Intuition is partly a result of the combination of these senses. Let me illustrate by a simple example.

You are working on your computer. Then your sense of smell tells you there is a strange odor. The next thing that comes to your mind is that you are in danger. So you get out of your table and leave the room. You escaped danger because a fire was nearby. You helped put out the fire.

The odor of smoke was perceived by your sense of smell. But the danger was perceived by your sixth sense. Another person who does not believe in the sixth sense may not get this message of danger and so she continues working on the table until the fire engulfs her.

That is why it pays to be attentive to your five senses. This is the first step if you want to open your sixth sense and use it.

The second step is to realize that not everything can be known by your five senses. For example, you cannot see microbes with your bare eyes. You need a microscope for this. You cannot see some stars with your bare eyes. You need a telescope. In other words your five senses need instruments to be more useful.

So also your sixth sense needs some instruments to be useful. These instruments are periods of rest and quiet. If you are always in a hurry you will not be able to listen to the silent prodding of your sixth sense.

The third step is to realize that you are surrounded and immersed in a world of unseen reality. Some call this subtle dimension or subtle energy. Others call it spirit. Some spell spirit with a capital S. Whatever you call it you just have to take this as one of the givens in life. Just as we are surrounded by air on the face of this planet earth, so our being (body, soul, and spirit) is surrounded by an unseen reality.

This unseen reality knows who we are, where we are going, the dangers we may encounter, the defeats we shall go through in life and the successes we will attain.

The reason why we have to acknowledge the reality of this unseen reality is because it is this unseen reality which acts on our sixth sense, telling us what to do, warning us of dangers, informing us of opportunities.

The fourth step is just to follow your sixth sense. Some call this the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This sixth sense acts like the daemon of Socrates who forbade him to do some things. The more you follow your sixth sense the more it will make itself useful to you.

Use Your Sixth Sense

So now I can explain how I was able to get the questions that my teachers hid in their rooms. The unseen reality who surrounds all of us knew those questions even ahead of the teachers who formed them in their mind. Since I had access to this unseen reality this unseen reality gave those questions to my sixth sense and my sixth sense brought them to my mind. My mind studied those questions and that was how I got those high grades. People do not believe me when I tell them I got those high grades by a trick. It was indeed a trick, using the sixth sense.

You also have a sixth sense. Open it and use it. You will be warned of dangers ahead, informed of business opportunities waiting for you and your life will be more enriched with the use of this sixth sense.

How to Be Spiritually Healthy Always

You may think that spirits do not get sick. They do. It is not only our bodies and minds that get sick. Our spirits also get sick.

We have hospitals for our sick bodies and mental health facilities for our sick minds, but we do not see hospitals or clinics for our sick spirits.

Where Do Sick Spirits Go for a Cure?

Some may immediately say, We have churches for our sick spirits. Maybe churches do care for our spirits. Do we mean to say that those who enter churches and are ministered to by these are spiritually sick, like those who enter hospitals and are cared for by our hospitals are physically sick?

If that is the case then how pitiful are those persons who frequent the churches. They are the ones who are spiritually sick.

Then someone may retort: Actually all are spiritually sick, even those who do not frequent the churches. But it is only these who go to the churches who are aware that they are sick. The ones who do not go near the churches are not aware that they too are spiritually sick.

So, if all of us, church goers and non-church goers are spiritually sick, how do we get healthy? How do we get spiritually healthy?

Three Major Diseases of the Spirit

First of all let us understand the three major diseases of the spirit. These are doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear. If churches are institutions of spiritual health they are supposed to cure us of these deadly spiritual diseases: doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear.

How do we stay healthy so that these diseases do not invade our spirits? The answer is rather simple but it needs some kind of lengthy explanation.

How To Be Spiritually Healthy

The answer is that we stay spiritually healthy by connecting ourselves constantly or always with the ultimate source of all kinds of health, physical, mental or spiritual. This ultimate source who is the Spirit of all health is always healthy. In him there is no sickness and he is the one who communicates health to all of us.

If has been established already by the science of medicine that what keeps the body healthy is the body itself. The Spirit has created our body in such a way that it produces all the substances necessary to preserve our health. The medicines that we take are only helps to our body so that it can properly produce these substances. Our body has the most reliable immune system. When this immune system breaks down as in AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome then the body's health also breaks down.

So also, as the Spirit communicates health to our body by equipping it with an immune system, he communicates health to our spirit by supplying it with the medicine for the deadly spiritual diseases of doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear. If we are always in communication with this Spirit he will give us the medicines for these diseases.

For doubt or disbelief the Spirit gives us the medicine of faith or belief. Some think that you can produce this medicine by self-affirmation. It is not done so. It is the Spirit himself who gives us faith or belief or trust in him.

For despair, the Spirit gives us hope. He urges us to expect better times, times of delivery from all our problems.

And for fear, the Spirit gives us love. He convinces us that to love is better than not to have loved at all, that at the end all love is repaid.

So, how do we keep ourselves spiritually healthy? By keeping close to the Spirit who gives us the medicines of faith, hope and love against the deadly spiritual diseases of doubt, despair and fear.

3 Ways to Analyze Your Personal Spirituality

The word "analysis" comes from two Greek words, "ana" which means "throughout" and "lein" which means "to loosen". When we analyze something then we loosen or separate its parts and look at them thoroughly.

Three Ways to Analyze Your Personal Spirituality

There are 3 ways to analyze your personal spirituality, because basically your personal spirituality has three parts. These parts are its origin, it progress and its end or culmination.

I shall now teach you the 3 ways to analyze your spirituality. I will teach you how to analyze its origin, whether you have already begun the journey of your spirituality or not yet. Then I will teach you how to analyze its progress, whether you are progressing well in your spirituality or not. Thirdly I will teach you how to ascertain whether you have already attained its end or culmination or are near it.

Analyze the Starting Point of Your Spirituality

If you want to know whether you have already begun your spiritual journey the question you need to ask is: Did a moment come in my life when I was thoroughly dissatisfied with it to the point that I wanted to abandon my life then and to live a completely new life?

If you have not yet experienced such a moment in your life you have not yet begun your spiritual journey. To all appearances you may be a good person but if you have not undergone an experience of total dissatisfaction with your life, you have not yet begun the first step in the quest for genuine spirituality. I want to give 2 examples of such an experience of total dissatisfaction with life. Of course I do not mean that you also experience these examples in the same way. What I want to emphasize is that a similar situation has occurred in your life.

The first example is that of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. He lived in the 5th century before Christ in India. He was the son of King Suddhodana who wanted him to be his successor as king. But when Siddhartha was 29 years old, he left his palace to see his subjects. There among his subjects he saw an old man, a sick man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. The sights of these suffering human beings depressed him, and he got dissatisfied with his life, so totally dissatisfied that he quit his palace and lived the life of a beggar. That was Siddhartha's beginning of his spiritual journey.

The second example I give you is that of Giovanni Francesco di Bernardone, the founder of the Franciscans. He lived in the 12th going to the 13th century. He was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, Italy, and he lived a carefree life of a wealthy man. But soon he was completely dissatisfied with his life renouncing even his father and his inheritance, even getting rid of the clothing his father had given him. He stood naked.

These are extreme cases of dissatisfaction with the present life. But such dissatisfaction must occur before you can begin your spiritual journey.

I cannot forget the words the preacher directed at me when this moment happened in my life. He told me, as though he addressed his words personally to me only, 'Burn the bridges to your past life in such a way that even if you want to you can no longer return to it.'

If you have experienced this dissatisfaction with your life then you have begun your spiritual journey. If not, you have to wait until your searching for a better life leads you to this experience.

Analyze the Progress of Your Spirituality

Now we go to the second analysis. Do you want to know whether you are progressing in your spiritual life? The way to do this is rather simple. Just ask yourself: Have I become more compassionate towards others, not just human beings, but even animals and plants and minerals.

We also notice that in the lives of the two persons we cited above they grew in compassion towards creation as they progressed in their spiritual life. The reason for this is because progressing in spiritual life is a progress towards the Creator and as we come nearer to him we begin to love more and more his creation.

Growth in learning or in wealth is no guaranteed sign of spiritual progress. The only authentic sign of spiritual progress is compassion.

So, you ask yourself: Have I become more compassionate towards others, my family, my friends, the animals I meet, the plants I pass by? If you can answer this affirmatively, you are sure of progressing well in the spiritual life.

Analyze Whether You Have Attained Your Goal in Spirituality

Now we go to the third way to analyze your personal spirituality. This is about its end or culmination. How do you know whether you have attained perfect spirituality or have reached the end of your spiritual journey?

Some people are of the opinion that there is no end to our spiritual journey as long as we are still living on this earth. My opinion is different. I say that there is an end to our spiritual journey even while we are still on this earth. This means that we have already attained complete growth. We are already stable. We can no longer be swayed by this or that opinion. And we keep on producing spiritual fruits.

The nature of any journey is that it has a beginning and an end. If the spiritual journey is all beginning and going and there is no end to it, then it is not really a journey; it is more of a treadmill. But spirituality is not a treadmill.

So, how do you know whether you have reached the end or are near the end of your spiritual journey, having attained the purpose of spirituality in life? It is simply done by asking whether you are afraid of death or not. If you are still afraid of death, that means you have some unfinished business to do here on earth. But if like Socrates the philosopher or Jose Rizal the Philippine national hero, you are no longer afraid of death it means you are ready to go into the world of pure spirits.

Now that you have analyzed your personal spirituality according to its origin, progress and its end, you can truly decide in what stage you are in your spirituality, whether you have already started this spiritual journey or not yet, how well you are progressing, and whether you have already attained the end of this journey or are near it.
