There are people with psychic ability and there are a gifted few. It is all genetics. Rita is one of the gifted few. This is a brief account of her trials and tribulations as a gifted psychic. Rita shared her personal life with me in the hope of inspiring people to develop spiritual values and abilities. She especially pleads to parents to embrace and nurture children with psychic gifts.

MY GRANDFATHER WAS A SHAMAN PROPHET

My grandfather was a gifted Shaman in a third world country. He had a respected position in the local Church as a prophet.

His daughter married an American and her family migrated to America. I am one of her children.

OLD CULTURE - NEW CULTURE

In the United States, my family was anxious to fit in. My older sister was obsessed about it. She managed to lighten her skin tone and hair. She obsessed about Euro-American culture. She tells people her ancestors stepped off the Mayflower.

There was pressure to conform in the 50s era. But, my teenage sister was insane about it.

My mother and sister hid their cultural identification. Nobody was allowed to speak of Shamans and the gift. Any display of supernatural ability was ignored, dismissed and vehemently condemned- in that order. I was literally beaten by my sister for displaying psychic ability.

BRUTAL SUPPRESSION OF THE PSYCHIC GIFT

As a child, I talked to the angels who accompanied me. I thought everyone could see angels.

That got a negative response. The more I insisted, the more dangerous the reaction was.

The neighbors were told I had imaginary friends like other normal children had.

As I grew, my older sister continued to brutally silence me and suppress my gift.

After brainwashing and beatings, I ignored the angels and suppressed my psychic ability.

I was frustrated and withdrawn. I developed a secretive personality. I really wanted to be honest and outspoken.

Decades later I was finally freed from this oppression. Freedom came as a result of a severe crisis.

In order to understand the crisis you need to understand my husband.

I MET AN ANGEL

At age 18, I met my husband-to-be. I was instantly attracted to him because he was as transparent as my angels were. He glowed with honesty, openness and genuine affection.

Both my husband and I have a religious nature.

After marriage, we mutually agreed to give child-raising top priority. Much of his life he held two jobs.

But, one spouse could no longer support one family.

While my son was young, he was not expensive. But, when he was in college, expenses spun out of control.

After years of finagling bills we finally reached the ultimate crisis. We either coughed up a fortune by 3 PM or we were homeless.

ENEMIES OF THE PSYCHIC GIFT

My husband had not been receptive to the occult because of Church teachings. I was still confused and secretive about my gift.

A social scientist could explain the uneasy relationship between gifted people and Church leaders. I think it boils down to power and money.

Ironically, there are also people in the scientific community who vilify and oppress psychics. Atheists do not want the spirit dimension recognized and validated. If a person is closed minded, is he really a scientist?

When I think of the respect my Shaman grandfather had as a prophet in a third-world Church, I compare it to the disrespect prophets suffer in American Churches.

Of course, ministers would have to be wary of predators who pretend to have gifts. There are predatory businessmen who combine with charlatans to ruin things for psychics like me.

Customers complain to Congressmen and psychics are shut down over night. I lost a good job because of this.

CAPITALIZING ON THE PSYCHIC GIFT AT THE RACE TRACK

One of the times in my young life I capitalized on my gift was when I went to the horse races with my Dad. He was a nurturer. He taught me about horse racing. It was a case of a daughter flourishing in the sunshine from her father. I won a little money but was not really interested.

I got interested only once when a wealthy friend asked me to vacation with her in Hawaii. Her father simply gave her a credit card to pay for her trip. I had to rely on myself.

I went to the racetrack and won enough money to pay for a two-week Hawaiian vacation.

I SAVED MY FAMILY WITH A BAG OF CASH FROM THE RACES

As I was saying before, unplanned college expenses led the culminating crisis. We needed a fortune in cash in a few hours. We would be homeless and my son would be out of college without bus fare.

I told my husband about the racetrack. He was more favorable because bill collectors had worked him over. We took our last twenty-dollar bill to the track.

Afterward my husband dutifully asked if I made anything. I did not know. I turned my paper bag upside down and shook it. To our astonishment, a gnarled mountain of large denominations fell out and spilled over.

The eyes of my husband popped open. We started laughing.

That miracle had a profound effect on us as we contemplated the bottomless pit we almost fell into.

OUR NEW PSYCHIC LIVES

We did a lot of soul searching. We rethought everything and reconstructed our minds.

I think God rewarded us. My abilities grew exponentially and my husband began to demonstrate psychic ability.

A NEW WORLD OF PSYCHIC POWER

The Bible says God will someday pour His spirit out on everyone. Everyone will have visions and prophesy.

A free environment will make that possible.

There is great value in psychic ability. A person can recognize evil people by their auras. It is good to know the future and make preparations. That gives us peace of mind.

Mankind could take a quantum leap if it acknowledged the spirit dimension.

MY PSYCHIC ABILITY GREW IN A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

My husband nourished my psychic ability. My psychic power grew as it did when I was with my father. People became aware of it.

A coworker observed that I was telling the future. He put me in touch with a tarot card business owner. I did a few phone readings and astonished him. He had a legitimate psychic business with gifted readers. I was off and running as a professional psychic.

I worked for a month without Tarot Cards. I used blank pieces of paper until I got a paycheck. I actually have no need of physical objects.

At times I was astonished at and frightened of my increasing psychic ability.

I TRAVELED TO DISTANT CITIES & PASSED THROUGH LOCKED DOORS

A prankster called me from college. Immediately, he demanded I tell him how many people were with him. Miraculously I found myself in his apartment.

I calmly replied that I was in the room with him and I saw he just had a party. Only two friends remained. He was on the phone in the kitchen and one of his friends was in the bedroom listening. I asked if I should count the blond-haired boy who had passed out on the couch.

I heard hysteria and pandemonium as the phone dropped with a bang. Someone screamed to hang up the phone. But, the boy bravely picked up the phone and asked for a reading.

Some readings were very sad.

An old man phoned to say he needed to know if I was real. So, he did not speak another word until AFTER I did his reading. That was it.

I saw his situation clearly. I said that he was a minister who recently lost his wife. He was suicidal and called me out of desperation. He did not believe in psychics. I am thankful that he talked to me instead of an amateur or charlatan.

I told him he was neglecting his flock. A group of young people desperately needed his counseling. There would be a tragedy if he did not promptly contact them.

The gentleman burst into tears because I told him everything and he was indeed ignoring certain young people. I told him to pick up his bed and walk. A new sense of purpose cured his affliction.

THE UNBEARABLE VISION OF A CHILD DYING

Visions of death came to me before I became sufficiently confident.

A child stepped into a deep hole in the front yard of his home. I was the only person to see him. There were stories of kidnappings in the papers. Search parties went everywhere.

I think the suppression I suffered as a child made me doubt my abilities. I phoned the police anyway. A detective promised to check out my vision. But, he did not.

I watched the news to hear that the detective found the child. That news did not come. I believed the detective checked for a hole but found nothing. I was ashamed to have phoned.

Weeks later, the dead child was found in a weed-covered hole in the front yard. I am still grieved. Is the detective grieved?

We can add some detectives to the list of reactionaries who dismiss psychics. They can share the list with Church leaders and atheists.

I WATCHED THE MURDERS OF LACI PETERSON & NATALEE HOLLOWAY

The most sensational murders I watched were those of Laci Peterson and Natalee Holloway. The husband of Laci smothered her to death with a pillow. I also watched him dump her body. I could only describe the scene as a person who appeared out of nowhere. I saw the angled slabs of cement on the shoreline. I saw a large drain pipe.

I phoned the police. But, the fact is that detectives are overwhelmed with messages and these include delusional people with visions. So, I was unrealistic. And, I was still unsure of myself.

Eventually the scene was televised. I saw that the lake was actually seawater in the San Francisco Bay area.

How does a psychic validate a vision and the time? I am now mailing letters to myself in order to use the postmark. But, postmarks will not help psychics overcome emotions that hinder validation.

In the case of Natalee Holloway, some people do not want to find the body because of their self-images and emotions that would be inflamed.

Regardless, I watched Natalee being murdered by a young man as his two friends watched. There were shot glasses and traces of drugs that the police could have used for DNA.

Her body is in an old cistern under poured cement. I saw two palm trees as I looked toward the front of the property. There is an abandoned foundation. If given a real chance, I could literally point to the cistern.

PSYCHICS COULD HAVE STOPPED 9-11

After 9-11, psychics began to compare notes about foreboding messages. I had disturbing dreams.

I was in a building looking down. I saw a lion roaming the city streets and I wanted to warn people that he could kill them.

My husband laid out Tarot Cards and repetitiously came up with the burning tower and the card with twin towers.

On a day about that time, my husband came from the supermarket and described Arab men he encountered. One of the men singled out my husband and approached him. My husband said he was demon possessed and full of hate and murder.

After 9-11, government officials were chided for their inability to connect the dots. In my opinion, 9-11 could have been prevented if the best psychics had been comparing visions in a think tank.

PLEASE CHAMPION THE SPIRIT OF GOD

I guess I can end by saying that the spiritual side of mankind has been suppressed too long. We need spiritual progress to match technological progress. We put a man on the moon, but we are still dumb beasts.

Education is the way. That is where the good people come in who make this article possible. So, we should thank them!
