Chapter 27 - Spiritual Divination And Telepathy

In many of the Taoist classics and historical novels from ancient times, the phrase "prompted by a sudden impulse" often occurs. It describes the sudden surfacing of a certain sixth sense. However, I truly believe that what is in question is not "an impulses' or "sixth sense," but rather the special, sensitive reaction of a soul with awareness. A soul with awareness does not merely detect vibrational frequencies from the spiritual realm, it can also respond to the vibrational frequencies of one's family and friends. It is also likely for such an individual to suddenly receive vibrational frequencies transmitted by a friend in danger. Such happenings seem very mystical, but they really are not.

I have detected two kinds of energies in the space: thought energy and psychic or soul energy. Approached from another perspective, there is selfpower and extraneous power. Thought energy is often generated by one's own power. When one's thought energy reinforces one's own psychic energy to interact with an extraneous power, a new thought or intention is generated. This new intention can be regarded as a result of "telepathy." Although this description sounds complicated, the actual event takes place in a flash that is as quick as an electric current. When one turns on an electric switch, the bulb will be lit within a fraction of a second.

When we concentrate and focus our thought energy in a certain matter, such as turning the dial of a radio, an intended result will be generated. The stronger the thought energy, the more magnified will be the response. This experiment to test the power of thought has been documented in the past: when a group of people prayed together and directed their thought energies to problem solving, they would find a solution readily, no matter how difficult the problem was. The result would often seem unexpectedly miraculous. There was one experiment wherein people held hands and concentrated their thoughts on wishing that a sheet of paper before them would float and fly away. Strangely, the sheet of paper flew up in front of their eyes. This kind of power, like the static electricity generated from rubbing hands, is not entirely without scientific basis. When one places hands that have been rubbed rigorously together over small pieces of paper shreddings, the static charges generated from the rubbing will cause the paper shreddings to start to flutter.

Under the drive of thought power, psychic energy is generated, and when it communicates with extraneous psychic powers, information from the future is accessible. This is the basis of the ability of Spiritual Divination. Although we are not conscious of it, a kind of psychic energy pervades throughout the Universe. When one's soul is active and wants to find out about any problem, one can pose the question and obtain an answer. This kind of Spiritual Divination is of the highest level and completely under one's own control. It means that one's soul can travel out of one's body to roam freely among various lands and waters of the world. It means that one may move freely at will to any plane of existence, from the heavens to the nether worlds. When one reaches the most ideal state, one can even manifest in bilocation, the transformation of one soul body into two soul bodies, or even myriads of forms that fill up the vastness of space. In a person with a medium level of psychic ability and whose soul cannot yet travel freely, the channelling of psychic energy can result in the development of Divine Eyesight by which one can observe, like a telescope, things in heaven and on earth, the various astronomical and geological phenomena, as well as into the realm of the spirits. When one obtains the faculty of Divine Hearing, one can hear what is inaudible to other people, as well as conversations among ghosts and gods.

At the lowest level, where psychic development is just beginning, the soul is active but one does not yet have command over it. Without any spiritual training, one cannot see or hear the realm of the spirits. However one can still receive vibrational frequencies or thoughts.

Do not slight this ability of "telepathy" as some people cannot even succeed that far. To engage in "telepathic reception" one has to completely abandon one's subjective views and pray quietly for guidance from the higher realms. If one is too subjective, the telepathic messages received will be colored by one's own ideas and not be accurate.

A young man, who had received psychic training from me, once came to ask me,

"Teacher, although my soul is active, I don't have any special vision or hearing. Why is this so? I also do not have any telepathic ability. What good is it to have such a 'live' soul?"

I remarked, "The resurrection of the soul is just the first step in spiritual cultivation. The training is a success when one continues to work to open up all of the knots in the psychic passages. There is another effective method, different than the method of Divine Eyesight and Divine Hearing, which I can teach you. It involves the use of hands."

I asked him to sit down quietly with hands joined, and to focus his mind on one single object, not thinking of anything else. This kind of method is carried out after one prays sincerely to the higher beings in the spiritual realm. One has to open one's heart and not hold any preconceived views. During meditation, one enunciates the question clearly to the spiritual realm and sincerely asks for guidance to be given through the movements of one's hands. For example, "if the project in question will succeed, please give the hands a big movement, and if it will fail, make the hands tremble slightly." A positive answer is a big movement, and a negative answer is a small movement. The spirits in the space have to simply move the joined palms to give one the answers. (The movements of the hands are involuntary and not caused by one's own mind.)

One should be able to feel clearly the movements and later confirm the prediction with facts. When the results are corroborated by the reality, one will have personally experienced the phenomenon of "psychic" hands.

"Although the method of psychic hands is not a high level method of channeling, with long practice it will lead to the development of telepathy. Do not treat it lightly," I explained to him.

"Teacher, will it really work?"

"Give it a try, and you will know."

Several days later, the same young man came happily to see me. He said he had had a miraculous experience. He had someone toss a die, cover it up, and he would guess which number it was. He used the psychic hands method and got it right each time for five consecutive tosses. His friend was puzzled and kept on tossing the die five more times. Each time he got the correct number. His friend was greatly astonished, while he was greatly elated. This was proof for the existence of his psychic ability.

Truthfully, since my soul is awake and active, many invisible friends from the world of spirits often pay unannounced visits to me. If they find me busy in the middle of my writing, they sometimes drill into my train of thought (causing a tingling sensation) to let me know of their arrival. Sometimes they come to bring me news of imminent events. Other times they just drop in without any particular reason. With so many friends in the spiritual realm, my life is really full! At this writing, I am reminded of the reason behind most people's lack of belief in the existence of the soul. Since they do not see, hear, or have any awareness of their souls, they do not believe in the soul's existence. In fact, many Buddhist and Taoist monks, Christian ministers, and Catholic priests also deny the existence of spiritual phenomena. Their denial is no different than knocking down their own teachings. It also tells us that a great number of monks, ministers, and priests basically cannot see into the world of spirits. It pains me to see so many religious administrators and believers refuse to believe in the psychic and spiritual events that I have truly experienced.
