Eyes that See Differently

Psychic.  The word brings images of `woo-woo' stuff, psychic hotline
commercials, carnival sideshows and charlatans.  Does anyone really
take this stuff seriously?

I confess to similar thoughts once—until several people with
these `different abilities' started coming into my life, and in
unrelated situations.  My queue the universe had some lessons for
me, and it was time to pay attention.  Here's what I learned:

Some people have abilities I don't.  And just because I don't have
those abilities, doesn't mean they don't exist.  And some of those
abilities fall under the term psychic.

From past experience I know that some people's eyes see colors
differently.  I have an art fair pottery mug with a light brown leaf
design painted on it—at least I see brown.  My mother sees green.
Same mug.  Her brown eyes see colors differently than my blue ones.

In the eye glasses section of a local department store, there are
standard lense sunglasses and Polaroid lense glasses.  When I tried
on standard lenses, I saw everything clearly—or so I thought.  When
I tried on the Polaroids, what was hidden with the standard lenses
came into sharp focus.

It isn't that far a stretch for me to consider the possibility that
some people have eyes that see spirits and energy fields.  My eyes
have standard lenses; theirs have Polaroids.   And because of that,
they have additional information they can share if we ask them to.
I have.  And it is amazing and comforting, and an experience of
sacred time and space.

When someone we love goes on a long trip, it's reassuring to know
they arrived safely and are okay.  Or it's the closure or
opportunity to say good-bye.  The gifted individuals I know are
healers and mediums that help heal souls and spirits.

We took a lot of things on faith as children, especially teachings
about the afterlife and what happens when we leave here.  For some,
faith is enough.  For others, in our basic humanity, reassurance
that our loved ones are okay or still with us, or a chance to say
good bye or thank you or I love you, matters to our spiritual peace.

There are many gifts of spirit and light.  Ancient writings tell us
of these.  I've been a seeker for a long time and studied many
paths.  The lessons that come my way like this are a gentle reminder
that there's much MORE yet to learn—if I'm open to the gift.
