Sometimes in the 80s, Jaime T. Licauco, the Philippines’s top paranormal researcher and author of many books on the subject, replied to a
letter I sent him. I didn't know that he would publish it; fortunately, I stumbled upon it while browsing Philippine publications (magazines and newspapers) in a small bookstore in Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia. It occupied the full
3 pages of Mr & Ms Magazine. Since it is long, I will reproduce it here in
3 parts.
If you are a follower of my blog, you know that I have since projected to many places. Long before space scientists discovered that diamond planets do exist, I had already visited/projected to one.
I did not have an iota of clue that Jaime T. Licauco would publish my letter…
A couple of months ago, I received a long letter (five
typewritten pages) from a Filipino Muslim doctor named Nosca L. Khalid, who works in a hospital in Saudi Arabia. His letter contains so many interesting questions concerning various aspects of paranormal phenomena that the only way to deal with them adequately is to reply to each question one by one. He
began by giving a background of himself and explaining why he had written the
letter.
“I have
read the last three of your articles in Mr & Ms and have been greatly
encouraged to send you a letter. I have been beset by some phenomena I found
very hard to rationalize in spite of my scientific professional achievement. I
am a Muslim (Maranaw) and a doctor of medicine. I am writing to you for two
reasons: Can I qualify to be a member of your research group in the study of
the paranormal? And second, if after reading this letter, you believe that I have paranormal abilities, can you help me develop them
further, or can you recommend some books I can read.”
I am
glad to know that my series of articles on the spirit entity Ang Suh has struck a chord with many people. I understand that there have been
numerous requests for Xerox copies of the series.
Regarding the Philippine Paranormal
Research Society Inc., which I have recently established, any interested
individual who adheres to its philosophy and objectives is welcome to become a
member. He or she does not have to be a psychic to qualify. Ours is a
scientific and humanitarian research organization that does not discriminate against any religion, race, sex, or political affiliation. The society will investigate
and document paranormal abilities and events in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. It will also help develop such skills through well-designed courses, seminars, workshops, and experiments. Under separate cover, I shall
send you more information about the society.
“What’s in a letter? Why is it that people whose names begin with the letter ‘N’ seem very close to me? My name begins
with the letter ‘N’; my wife and three of my best friends do too. I began to question the coincidences when a friend recently tried to avoid me for no reason except that we were both married. Only a year later did I discover
that her real name begins with the letter ‘N.’”
Let me begin with a quotation
direct from the American psychic and prophet, Edgar Cayce: “We seldom meet a
person by accident.” All meaningful encounters we have in this lifetime are
merely echoes of past encounters with them. This is true of
our spouses, children, bosses, parents, close friends, and even enemies. A helpful law of the cosmic universe to remember is that “like attracts like.” So if you
are warm and friendly, you will attract warm and friendly people. If you are
the opposite, you will attract those same qualities from others. Therefore, your attachment to certain letters, numbers, or colors will attract others of similar vibrations to yours, and you notice this because you are sensitive enough
to these subtle qualities.
“What’s in a dream? Why do most of
my dreams come true? There was a time when I could dream of what was going to happen,
no matter how trivial. The most notable dream I had was when I was in my second year of medicine at UERMMMC. The night before our excursion to Taal
Lake, I dreamt I was attending a funeral, but I disregarded it because I was
wearing white. One of our female classmates drowned, and we attended her funeral
in our white uniforms exactly the way I dreamed it. On another occasion, I
dreamed I was bitten by a black dog. I was held up the following day at the
Lambingan Bridge in San Juan. I was wounded at the exact part where I was
bitten by the dog in the dream.”
Dreams are the language of our
subconscious minds. They speak to us in far more significant ways than
we commonly regard them as such. The ability to interpret and apply the messages of dreams in our daily lives can mean the difference between success and failure, between greatness and mediocrity.
Not all dreams foretell future
events, although many do. Some dreams help us solve problems, others castigate us for weaknesses, and still others offer us glimpses of our past lives. No two dreams should be interpreted the same way, no matter how similar,
for no two dreams are similar.
Dr. Sigmund Freud, the pioneer of
psychoanalysis, was the first Western scientist to systematically study the
meaning and significance of dreams. But centuries before he was born, the
ancient Greeks, the American Indians, and the Senoi aborigines of Malaysia were
interpreting dreams as naturally as breathing. Dream interpretation was part of
their cultures, and it was no product of academic gobbledygook as it has become
in contemporary Western civilization.
Three
excellent books on dreams I’d like to recommend are: Creative Dreaming by
Patricia Gerfield, Ph.D.; Working with Dreams by Montague Ullman, M.D.; and Nan
Zimmerman; and Edgar Cayce on Dreams by Harmon H. Bro., Ph.D.
i do remember this time when during my stint in KSA with you doc, we would always go to you for dream interpretations...i remember too that you used to share that dream interpretations book that you bought from the philippines when you went for your yearly vacation then...i too was used to be sought for dream interpretations but i did not develop it coz later i just depended on what could be found in books and now the internet...it was easier this way rather than trying to purge my brain for it...;-)
ReplyDeleteI still have that old “Dream Dictionary.” It’s falling apart for age but it is still very useful :-)
DeleteLet me introduce to you this Verse 60 from Surah 6 of the Holy Qur'an as follows:
ReplyDelete"And He it is Who takes your souls at night (in sleep), and He knows what you acquire in the day, then He raises you up therein that an appointed term may be fulfilled; then to Him is your return, then He will inform you of what you were doing."
A Paranormal & Psycho-analyst scientest converted to Islam upon reading this verse in the Qur'an which he said is a confirmation of his reasearch work that our soul do travel like an astral journey when we are asleep, That is why we meet people or visit places in the first time that we feel of having met them or having been there before...
Amzing to know this. I now do not wonder why there were times in the past that i would see a place and feel/think/wonder that i have seen that place and wonder at it!
