The Price of My Gift..........................~Jason

A nineteenth-century scientist, Thomas Huxley, once asked, " If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then how much knowledge does a person need before they're safe? "

All my life, I've lived with one constant factor: I'm empathic. Sensitive, open, ESP, a gift, a seer, whatever you wish to call it. Most kids, when going to bed at night, are afraid of the dark because of something in their imaginations. I was afraid of the dark because of what I saw in it. And the things I saw as a child were very real.

I listen to the stories of others, how their " gifts " are truly a blessing, and they use them to faciliate positivity in their lives. Not me. My case is a bit more peculiar than most.

I've seen appiritions, been hunted in my nightmares, detected thoughts and intents, felt energies and presences, I've even been physically as well as mentally attacked. And this is supposed to be a gift?

I've had several people tell me that the Lord has a purpose for this " gift " of mine, and that I am to use it for good. First off, how can I use something I can't control? And second...........I don't want to use it.

I used to ( as an amatuer ) investigate paranormal activites and occurances within my county. And it seems that the further I went into an investigation, the more of a vocal point I was. I'd experience nightmares more frequently, feel " presences " watching my every move, saw appiritions and images that rattled me to my core. Once I'd given up the habit of investigation, the intensity of occurances ceased.

For the past 8 months, I've made a conscious effort to " suppress " my abilities in an effort to be a normal person; in other words, I ignore it. Since doing so, I frequently get terrible migraines that suddenly develop without warning and fade away just as quickly.

I have to admit, with all the " happy empath " stories I hear, I sometimes feel like a freak.

It's amazing the things, the ideas, the " bigger pictures " that I see. I understand them, but cannot articulate them into coherent thought or words. It's like knowing all the answers in the back of your mind, but when test time comes, they stay on the tip of your tongue, only glimpsed.

I often feel alone, wondering if there are other empaths who pay the same price that I do with their abilities.

I see people on USM wanting to develop their empathic abilites; I want to be free of mine. To me, the prize is no longer worth the race, and the sight is no longer worth the price.

If someone can help me, please contact me.

~Jason

I have excepted what has been given to me though. Im still learning to live with something that I have had strong all my life. So you are not alone in any of this. Im glad that you posted this *hugs*  
Date: 9/9/2001 10:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 18870    I don't know what to say, how come you never told me about this? I'm not sure how you can make it stop, but maybe learning how to control it and use it would help, cause then if you can control it, you can keep it back unless you need it. And as for migranes, ouch... I get them sometimes, so I know what the pain is like. I know its not the same, but sometimes I have dreams and then a few months later they come true....it creeps me out sometimes...*hugs*  
Date: 9/10/2001 2:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hello Jason. Who can control such things? I believe that we all have this "gift," to some degree. The disciplines that you practice make you ultra sensitive, perhaps? Had this ability all your life? Not any answers, sorry, only more questions. Might sound strange, but, "Faith Healers." Who knows? Maybe ask around and find out their thoughts. This is what flashed to me when I read your post. Good luck. Write on....  
Date: 9/10/2001 4:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 37411    Hey! I am an empath to. And yes the headaches often come with this gift.But usually I can ground myself and send the energy to other places. I personly think you should carry flourite. It screens empathy and you wouldnt get your headaches as much. And as for spirits watching your every move, I have that to. You sorta just have to ignore it. I know thats hard, like if you see a spirit you just keep doing what your doihn and they will get the message that they are not worth fighting. My mom is starting to develop her gifts and on thursday she had a frightening experience. She was sleeping inmy livingroom and she woke up and thought, "I have to get to my bedroom." And she was paralyzed. Then she saw a white fog over her. she couldnt scream and move until whe started running in her room. She found out this was a spirit guide trying to tell her something. Maybe some of your experiences were with your spirit guide. And since you were afraid when you were a child then it is hard to overcome. You need to learn to control your gifts because most likly your gonna have them all your life. msg me if you have any others. babybluemoon42  
Date: 9/10/2001 4:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 3835    I love you! *hugs* I know. I understand. I agree.  
Date: 9/10/2001 6:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 31275    oh...i don't know what to say. I just want to wish you good luck. Somehow...I hope it turns out okay. PAI  
Date: 9/10/2001 5:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 26733    Its funny cause i allways asked the question in my mind about being an empath (a strong one) - you downside's ypu mentioned are my downsides. But there trully are up sides to every down. Being empath has helped me choose my friends and know what other people think of me or if there being real - i know when people have an hostile feelings towards me and such, so i consider that as the upsides. I to allways (still today) see things at night, in the shadows moving about - hovering over me. I have gotten very use to it and not scared at all except i think i have a new ghost in my house that is an old guy that likes to whisle this particulare tune. Shielding is a good way to block the energy waves of others. I feel your pain, its ok...your not alone.  
Date: 9/10/2001 9:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 33357    Welcome to the wonderful world of reality. These talents are not always a good thing as anyone with them knows, anyone with real talent that is. I've never thought of these things as a 'gift', I don't believe in god to say that it is. Besides what can come to everyone is not a gift, it is just someting that you're not even born with thinking about it. Your talents comes from having a soul and all the energy in and around you, this is just as 'is', no 'gift'. Empathy can be very touch sometimes, any good empath, and myself can relate to that. I've been paralyzed to near incapacitation from the overwhelming emotions of others. About spirits, could be good or bad. Since you've been attacked by them, it shouldn't be a choice anymore about learning them. You have these talents and having them are some reason that spirits do that kind of thing in the first place. There are also nastier things than spirit you have to deal with that will be very hostile, specially to poeple who have strong psi abilities or strong magical abilities. That is life. So I think that you 'should' learn your abilities. I am a Mage, I study active-magic (requires no rituals, words, or tools and materials to do) and although everyone in my house has heard and even seen 'apparitions' they never bother me. My room has been warded whereever I've lived by my magic. It is an area where no entities can enter unless I was to drop my wards. Though my room isn't as powerful as it was before I moved, it's still my place and I control it. For normal spirits that are inclined to harrass you, you can you psi balls to get rid of them if you are so inclined. Though you have to be good with them. Spirits are energy, you trap them in your psiball and collasp it on them or send them away. This does not apply to demons. Demon's must be controlled with a controlling factor. Books on conjuring can tell you what some of these are and how to make your own. If it happens to come where you are dealing with a demon, you 'MUST' learn, you 'MUST' get outside help if you are not strong enough to deal with them yourself. Many psi-users don't deal with this kind of thing, but many many practictioner of magic, the active or indirect way comes up with this type of thing sometime during their life. You can't suppress abilities unless you take mind altering drugs that shut your mind down. If they are strong they will come, and it hurts you in the attempt. For that reason alone you should learn to at least control it to shut down and stop working. Or shielding yourself heavily.  
Date: 9/14/2001 12:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 35185    Great post, it seems alot of us can identify with you. One saying I relate to is "Ignorance is Bliss", and it is very true. The only way for me to block others feelings is to build an imaginary wall around myself. This is easy for me since I'm a Cancer and have the crabs hard outer shell. Sometimes if it is really strong, I will walk with my head down and completely block people out. I refuse to make eye contact or acknowledge them in any way. People won't understand this and may take it the wrong way, but it's the only way that works for me. Good luck. ~big hug~  
Date: 9/18/2001 2:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 16339    yes i understand you so. sometimes when i get an empathic bit. i feel this drain. the emotion drains my strength. as you said. there are downsides to having the 'gifts'. The pain is so bad. mine is not physical but mental & it is hard to bear. you must be strong to withstand it. this comes with time. «*~ßrëtt~*»  
Date: 7/17/2002 10:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 51393    I believed,you can let it go and sometimes by sharing it with other psychic or gifted one can take it from you.It is energy can be absorved by others.If,you truly are willing to let go speak to someone that has it here in USM.It can be let go ,just as easily you have it.Deeply within it has to be casted out,and if you need anymore of my help ,we may find a ritual activity for you to return to normal again.This is my e-mail [email protected] or you can speak to me on my yahoo at unkle_big_byrd....hope to hear from you soon.
