About ‘Supernormal’ and ‘Occult’ Abilities:

I thought I would post some comments related to supernormal abilities in case there are some people who are curious or who have had a confusing experience in the past. The term "supernormal abilities" here refers to cognitive, psychic or spiritual abilities that ordinary people do not commonly possess or that are beyond the understanding of modern science.

I use the term "occult abilities" below to describe a type of abilities or practices that "occultists" might refer to. While the word "occult" itself is defined as "secret," "concealed" or "covered up," I use the term connoting powers or abilities that are essentially “channeled” from other entities. The level of the universe that mankind exists in is quite low, and the entities that might possess a person or lend abilities are also at a low level within the Three Realms. Quite often the entities that come into contact with man can be dark and deceptive in nature, and the person who accepts the influence of these beings may be doing so with the aim of gratifying some pursuit, egotism, competitiveness, greed, the desire to deceive, even hatred, and so on.

The content of this post is inspired by guidance I received from a very powerful and very upright spiritual teacher through a practice that naturally cultivates some abilities as byproducts of positive spiritual development. My comments are not intended to criticize anyone, but simply to lay out what the majority, if not all, of the ability types are and how they arise.

First, supernormal abilities developed in an upright spiritual cultivation practice are abilities that reside with the person; they are abilities that the person him or herself possesses and may be able to use at will. Scientifically identified abilities include clairvoyance (seeing over distance), as well as pre-cognition and retro-cognition (seeing into future and past dimensions of time-space). In addition, there are different levels of wisdom and spiritual understanding that can come as the result of being in harmony with universal truth. Telekinesis refers to being able to move objects remotely using invisible energy circulations. In reality, everyone innately has some abilities, but over time as man trains himself to pursue the tangible and practical “reality” delimited by the ordinary senses and defined by deductive methods of science, these abilities are all but cast off due to disuse and disbelief.

These various states mentioned above and other abilities may arise during the course of one's own spiritual cultivation. There are also specific abilities (developed energy matter) that can remove the causes of illnesses. There are abilities associated with martial arts that people may use to enhance their movement, or deliver and withstand blows. And so on... Again, all of these abilities reside with the individual him/herself, and they are under the control of the individual's own will and main consciousness. There are people in the world who possess some of these abilities, either because they developed them or because they possessed these abilities from birth (perhaps developing them in a previous life...assuming you are willing to believe in reincarnation).

There are also forms of "evil" cultivation that exist, whereby individuals will intentionally do bad deeds in order to amass greater amounts of "black karma," which is actually a black energy mass attached to the person in another dimension. Through this approach, a person can strengthen his/her innate abilities by way of the black energy matter. The downside, however, is that this person is accumulating a lot of black or evil karma and will meet with severe retribution as a result: the person's lifespan is usually shortened, one will meet with severe tribulations, and/or one might descend after death and become a lower form of life, such as a malevolent spirit or "asura" (as described by some Eastern traditions). Asura are typically monstrous looking beings that, as I'm told, "regard human beings as animals, and therefore like to feed on them." They exist in another dimension, but apparently are able to enter into this dimension, assume a human appearance, and even walk among man.

The other kind of abilities, or what I am calling ‘occultic’ abilities, could be described as belonging to the realm of sorcery, simply because these abilities are not directly possessed by the individual him/herself. They are channeled or otherwise summoned from other beings. The usual form is that the person involved will draw some type of symbol and/or chant some type of incantation to bring to themselves (or activate, if the individual is already possessed) a low-level spirit in another dimension that actually manipulates external or extra-dimensional circumstances within its control in order to achieve an effect.

A person who is involved in this type of practice may be only vaguely aware, or perhaps not consciously aware at all, of what is really happening. That is because the individual's main consciousness is in a suppressed or disassociated state, and the external entity, a low-level spirit, is at that time possessing the individual's mind or body in order to emit its energy or otherwise make use of the limited abilities that the entity/spirit itself has. These low-level beings may also manipulate circumstances to create outcomes in favor of the individual, such as the person gaining some money or some benefit in society. However, in return for this favor, the entity will remove a vital energy substance from the individual's body, as part of an exchange. The entity may furthermore seek to attach itself to the individual's body and try to manipulate the individual's thoughts and behaviors in order to make the individual reliant upon the entity. This way, the entity can strengthen its hold and take more of the person’s energy (bodily essence).

In such an instance, the individual may well remain in a state of "spirit possession," whether knowingly or unknowingly, with an extra-dimensional entity able to manipulate or dominate the individual. Whether this happens or not, the individual who is possessed is likely to become physically weakened or otherwise debilitated over time, as the low-level spirit has depleted his/her vital energy.

It should also be pointed out that an individual can pick one of these entities up in thier life while being completely oblivious to it. This is where the importance of spiritual connectedness becomes paramount. If you are intuitively in contact with your higher self and possibly even guardian angels then the nasties usually can not get to you.

These entities can be attached to material objects like houses, jewelry, and artifacts. Sometimes a person ends up around one of these things simply because of owership of one of these cursed things.
