A Theory Of Psychic Source

One of my favorite Vedic hymns is the Absolute mantra which can be translated this way:

That is Absolute (Divine), this is Absolute (Divine), Absolute (Divine) rises out of Absolute (Divine). If Absolute (Divine) is taken out of Absolute (Divine), Absolute (Divine) remains.

It is my personal belief that this mantra is a key to understanding our existence, and also gives us insight into where psychic phenomena come from. We are all interconnected through a Divine matrix, but the daily perception of our experience is that of duality or separateness. We do not consciously share our awareness with trees or other people, but the Divine matrix is still present whether we recognize it or not.

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean ~ Alan Wilson Watts

So, how does this explain psychic phenomena? These are my theories, but that being said, they are theories that have their roots in various spiritual traditions. We may never fully understand psychic phenomena, but it is my personal conviction that it happens when a level of the Divine consciousness seeps through into the consciousness of an individual.

Some individuals experience intense empathic impressions, where they can experience the emotions of another individual, while others communicate with ghosts or ultra-terrestrial beings, such as the Angels and Guides that observe and influence our everyday lives. The veil of duality is slightly removed for people who have these abilities and they can peek in and interact with these beings. Many psychics can also see into the future, and transcend the duality of time. This is also a manifestation of the Absolute, since the Absolute transcends even time itself.

It is my theory that each psychic ability is a manifestation of the Absolute making itself known through the Absolute. I believe that through every spiritual gift or talent, whether great or small, we are as humans experiencing the transcendent nature of the Divine. Whether it is the person manifesting the gift, or the recipient, both are being reminded that there is more going on in the Universe than our own individual experience.

No matter how separate we think we are from everything and everyone else, the truth is that the Absolute within you remains Absolute, regardless of how you feel, and nothing can separate you from that Love.
