Events That Changed My Outlook

I have had a lot of spiritual experiences in my time. I come from a very conservative family who believes that none of that psychic, or spirit guide nonsense exists. Well, a lot of that has changed, for me at least.

Ever since I was young, I felt different sensations, in a matter of speaking, and have seen many things I cannot explain. I saw a ghost when I was young, later I learned that it was a suicide victim. After that a lot of things started going on that "opened" my mind. I started empathizing with people, I could almost know what they were feeling. I couldn't explain it. I tried talking to my parents about it, but of course, it is mumbo jumbo.

There was one specific time when I was in my room, and there was a bust of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in front of my mirror. As I was lying down I heard the sound of porcelain (don't know how to spell it) scratching over the surface of something. I looked at the statue, nothing seemed to be out of place, that was until I looked at the reflection. The reflection was facing the same direction as the statue, as both were looking directly at me.

That is one thing that changed my life on the spiritual plane. My empathy just got stronger, not extremely strong, even today, but still, strong enough for me. Catholicism looked down upon "so called" psychic ability. Through time I changed my whole philosophy, there must be something out there.

I am now studying the peaceful mystic philosophy, which encourages this way of thinking. I don't personally believe in spirit guides, but I believe, we are all interconnected to the one great mind or soul known as God. I believe that the dead being still connected to us, can still help us along the way, with the knowledge of God, being that they are now a part of him/her. I realized, that there is more to life than just what we see everyday. There is a world we cannot see, possibly because we cannot comprehend it, but it is out there.

My life was changed through the events I have mentioned, and I am glad, though I do keep secrets from my parents about some of these things, I will eventually tell them, and hopefully they will see this world, and everyone else will also.
