Mind Your P's and Q's

In the world of the occult, there are many people out there who have special talents; Jean Dixon, Nostradamus, and Edgar Cayce, just to name a few of the most prominent.  I have always been fascinated by these people and the things they can do.  Are there really demons and ghosts?  Can some people actually foresee the future and talk to the dead?  I have never really bought into this stuff but, many years ago some friends and I fooled around with an Ouija board and after I learned that the boards may open a doorway to the underworld, I never played with one again, so maybe I do believe a little bit.

I once read a book titled “Bridey Murphy” that has since, been debunked and undebunked.  The book is about reincarnation and a Colorado housewife name Virginia Tighe who had recollections of a previous life in Ireland wherein her name was Bridey Murphy.  Virginia was able to remember many things about her life as Bridey that only Bridey would have known.  I have since, read many books on the subject of reincarnation and there are some fascinating stories out there.  Even if the facts are true, there is no way to tell whether the person in those stories actually lived a previous life or whether that person is tapping into an archive of “memory records” of some other, long deceased person.

A famous clairvoyant named Edgar Cayce told us that these “memory records” exist in the form of “Akashic Records” and that we all have the ability to tap into them.  He also said that the “Akashic Records” are an archive of everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will happen!  Of all the clairvoyants I have read about or seen on TV, Edgar Cayce is the most interesting.  His “readings” are very well documented and his abilities have been well proven.

Almost without exception, these clairvoyants and many other prominent people of our age such as Dale Carnegie (How to Win Friends and Influence People), James Allen (As a Man Thinketh), and Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) profess one thing, and that is the power of the mind.  It seems that if we could learn to control our minds we could tap into those Akashic records, summon spirits, talk to the dead, or even move mountains!

In the final analysis, we have to be very careful with our minds.  We have to be careful about what we think and believe, because that is what we will get.  The human mind is a wonderful gift and a powerful tool and it would be a shame to let others shape if for us.  Question everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, and keep an open mind.
