Comments on Unlocking Your Psychic Abilities with Echo Bodine

Dear Teddy,
Yes, the bible is a very good handbook for someone developing their psychic ability. It gives many examples of what is possible, and more importantly, warns of the potential risks. The most important warning comes in 1 John 4: “Test the spirits”.

The thing that Echo did not make clear is the broad range of abilities that get labeled today as psychic. She mixes the idea of reading thoughts and prophecy, which is dangerous. It is important to know that this gift allows the user access to spiritual energy and spiritual beings; both positive and negative. Using the music analogy further, everyone may have the potential to play music, but few can play J.S. Bach as he wrote it and even fewer can compose music as beautiful as he wrote.

Keeping with this analogy, we find that the true musical masters are not just gifted, but their whole person is aligned with the Divine. At the end of each piece Bach wrote, he dedicated it to “The Honor of God”. Psychics or mediums can only access the spectrum of spiritual energy which is in tune with them (mind, body, and soul). Moses told the Israelites to cleanse themselves before approaching the mountain and not to attempt to climb the mountain in order to protect them from the intensity of God’s Light. Only Moses and his medium Joshua were pure enough in heart (soul) to be this close to God; all the others would have been killed by the intensity of His Light. There are few examples of people with this precious gift, but many more who have used their gift for material gain, such as the great oracles of the past , including Delphi.

As you know we all have seven chakras. Each one of these has its own frequency, from low (red, base chakra) to high (violet, crown chakra). Attached to each one of the chakras are the seven layers of our spiritual body. When a clairvoyant looks at the spiritual body of someone, rarely can they see all seven, but rather they are able to see the one in-tune with their own frequency. Being able to see the life energy associated with the base chakra can help in healing, but this does not mean the clairvoyant can see the higher frequency bodies or the higher frequency beings (Angels, Elves, and Fairies). These laws govern all spiritual communication, (I.e. a clairaudient can only hear within their own personal bandwidth.)

Teddy, you asked a very good question: “What should a psychic do who is in a situation where they are not appreciated or understood?” I know many of people in this category also and the most successful ones do nothing at all; they just are. If a psychic has aligned their mind, body, and soul with the Divine, their greatest work is just to be, not to do: to just let His Love and Light flow through them to their friends, family and clients. I have a good friend who has a very materialist husband and rejects all her beliefs and her gifts, but she is never alone! Besides communicating with the Divine Spiritual World she talks directly to her husband’s soul/heart and does not bother to talk to his ego or mind. His soul is very grateful for this, even though his mind cannot accept it. It is not our job to change people or know why they are as they are; but rather to allow the option to change through their Free Will and to show them another way…

Best wishes, Shawn

Why was reincarnation taken out of Christianity?

Comments on Reincarnation and Karma With Richard Sutphen

Dear Richard,
This is a very nice podcast for those suffering from issues of karma and it is very important work. I would like to suggest a deeper understanding of karma for those more critical listeners. To say that reincarnations give us the ability of repaying the debts of prior lives, but just leaving it at that is not logical. If each of us is just trying to become who we were in a past life, before we created our own karma, then this would imply that we all were better in people in a past life. Evidence does not support this on a macro level or on a micro level. There has been a very a slow beautification of humanity and nature over the life of this planet. There have been major setbacks, like the Dark Ages for example, but the long-term trend is clear.

It is highly ironic that today the majority of Christians are lacking a belief in reincarnation and karma, when their ancestors are the only religious group who understood the higher meaning of reincarnation! Reincarnation was taught throughout true Christian believers, but not those (materialistic Christians) who belonged to the group that finally conquered them. The Romans, and their supporters. So when you read the history books today, you find very little evidence of the broad acceptance of reincarnation and the theory of “The Restoration of All Things”.

The Emperor Justinian declared in 543 AD: “Whoever says or thinks that human souls pre-existed, i.e., that they had previously been spirits and holy powers, but that, satiated with the vision of God, they had turned to evil, and in this way the divine love in them had died out (apyugeisas) and they had therefore become souls (yukas) and had been condemned to punishment in bodies, shall be anathema.”

When you have a look at the huge number “barbarians” that the emperor killed after he made their Christian belief barbaric, you will get an idea of how widespread reincarnation teaching was cherished. The inquisition did a very good job of seeking out and killing all others who dared to believe the good news of reincarnation taught by Jesus. This dark shadow still hangs over Christianity today, making it very difficult to reconcile modern Christian teaching with its roots. Only by going back to the beginning and understanding why the Roman Empire abhorred reincarnation are we able to expose the true face of the modern Christianity that grew in its shadow.

Christians did not take reincarnation out of their teaching because they feared the teaching, but rather they feared the (worldly) consequences of holding this belief. We stand at the beginning of a new age of elevated spirituality (and freedom of thought) and it would be nice to eliminate the huge chasm that lays between religion and the modern enlightened/educated mind.

Best regards, Shawn
