A Mother and Child Connection

   Tess (not her real name), recounted her paranormal stories with me.

 She and her daughter, Niña—who is 8 years of age—were living in an apartment. They occupied the last door. Behind their unit were big sampaloc and mango trees.

Unexplained experiences were typical with them. They accepted already that those mysterious events were caused by elementals sharing space with them in that  unit.

But what troubled Tess is the three baffling occurrences that she experienced with her daughter, Niña.

The first occurrence  took place one night when she was soundly asleep. A call from her daughter Niña awaken her. She looked for her daughter she knew lying beside her,  learned that Niña was soundly asleep. So, who called her “mama”? But before she consumed by her thought, she smelled a circuit burning. There, she saw  the electric fan  sparkling and about to explode any moment. Tess don't waste any moment. She quickly unplugged  and put the electric fan outside their unit. This unexplained event saved not only their lives, but also their neighborhood as well.

 The second incident:  Tess was mending their torn clothes one afternoon while Niña was sleeping in their room. Tess accidentally lost the needle she is using. She looked for it  but to no avail. Out of the blue, Niña came out of the room and picked up the needle  stacked in the mid of their couch.  Niña handed the needle to her mother and quietly goes back to the room and continue her sleep.

Another unexplainable moment Tess won’t forget was transpired one night. She and her daughter were already sleeping. Tess was awaken when she heard the voice of her daughter calling on her “mama”. When Tess opened her eyes, she saw again her daughter sleeping soundly beside her. She tried to ignore the call when she saw a bright light shining on their feet. Then the light vanished.

These incidents shows a mother-daughter connection.  Nina is the messenger while Tess is the receiver.

Unknown to Tess and even to Niña, the latter do astral projection during her sleep. That’s why Niña is still conscious of what is happening in her surroundings. Notice that Niña warned her mother about their electric fan burning. To get her mother’s attention, she called her "mama". On the second story, Niña even help her mother to find the lost needle. On the third account, Niña called her mother and the latter awake. The bright light what Tess saw is none other her own daughter’s projection.

Fantasy and Reality--Which is Which?

Seeing things beyond this realm is definitely, a mystery. However, differentiating it from hallucination should be clear. Some people claiming that they can see ghost, spirit, elemental and concluded that they had an opened third eye.

But, what if these things they are seeing are just plain hallucination? How could, or should we distinguish mystery to delusion?

My client, Terry (not her real name) consulted me concerning her experience. She is now being bothered by strange voices uttering into her ears. These voices, according to Terry, is arguing and talking nasty things about her.

Terry also claimed that she is seeing a beautiful lady, clothed in very bright dress. This lady is just standing outside and will vanish.

Sound strange, isn't? But does Minda really have an active third eye?

As I go thorough investigation of her background, I've learned that Minda is suffering for a mild depression that obligated her to take some medications. This compels that Minda is just experiencing delusion.

But here is the catch—although Minda is really experiencing delusion due to her medications—creatures and things beyond this realm could only be reach through tranquility (relaxed state of mind). Medication, indeed, caused Minda’s brain to relax. Could it be possible that Minda’s experience are real as medicines could forcibly—and temporarily—opened her “third eye”?

Fantasy and reality should be separated, but it can be one. It is up to the person to decide.
