Though we have reached the era of digital technologies, every thing should be exactly the same as determined by the digital indicators applied in the technologies, some people still believe in supernatural world to find out something they think that are unreachable through nowadays’ technologies or unreachable logically.

The preference is a normal phenomenon, especially for the people living in developing and under-developed countries. It means people still need services from paranormal or supernatural experts. Direct or indirectly I see the services from them are commodities and now I feel like to share my opinion on the services.


Special Warning

Personally, I think it is not a superstitious opinion and is a sensitive one. If you want to rate this opinion, please make sure you have finished reading this opinion thoroughly.

I also welcome your comments on this opinion which is purely coming from my heart – and for certain it does not represent my religion or any other religions. I just show you some facts and my thinking framework on the supernatural products.


The Uncertainties

Well, as I have described in the beginning of this opinion, everything should be exactly the same as we see or calculate by using nowadays’ digital hi-tech.

Now let’s imagine. I am showing you a draft (drawing) of an object represented in black and white on a piece of paper. You may think it is crane, a duck, a bird, an antelope or even a camel. Different people would give different answers.

Try to observe a candle shining brightly in a dark room. The question is “Is the fire flaming without any intervals of stops until the candle ends?” In general we might conclude that the fire flames until the candle ends without any intervals of stops. Actually there are some intervals of stops though mostly being occupied by the flaming fire. It proves that what we see does not always tell the truth. Please don’t ask supernatural experts about this phenomenon, but ask a scientist.

Several Services

I have seen a lot of ‘supernatural commodities’. Really extra-ordinary, I think. You can gain physical strength, health, peace, love from someone you love very much (though he/she does not love you at all), richness, good position or job, power, killing your enemies, knowing your future, etc. In brief, whatever you want, just tell the supernatural experts.

I always read advertisements on these commodities in my local papers. They can also transfer their ‘magic knowledge / abilities’ to someone who is willing to buy the offers in a number of money. Do you find these kinds of services in your country?


My Experiences

I have consumed some kinds of the supernatural commodities. Some (happen to) work and do not work at all. Here are some of them.

Visiting a fortune-teller is amazing. I have ever visited 2 fortune-tellers by the different periods and places. They use different techniques to make predictions for my future. One is using cards (tarot cards) and one is a mediator and calling a spirit go into his body to tell me the predictions of my future. It happened in my teens of age. Both of them told me that I was going to have good and bright career when I reached 30 of my age. I just listened because I was doubtful and just for pleasure. I have been 34 now and I see there is not a significant change in my career, especially my income.

Here is another one. About 1 year ago, I had a very serious pain on my right leg. I had seen some doctors (specialists), Chinese traditional medicine men for quite a long time. Their treatments did not help at all. It took me about 6 months to feel the pain. A lot of money had been spent and I felt no progress during the treatments and even became worse and worse. They told me that I had a serious rheumatic and just gave me prescriptions.

In the frustration and uncertainty, in search of healing, supported with my strong wish to recover, finally I was introduced to a mediator by a friend of mine. The mediator told me that I had stepped on the right foot of an evil’s child and as the part of the evil’s revenge, the evil hurt my right leg. The mediator suggested me to make a ritual pray to ask for apology from the evil.

Was I willing to do it? Absolutely no! I am not a proud or egoist. I knew that God creates human beings to be the ‘first class creatures’. Besides, logically thinking the evil’s child was not a stupid or an idiot creature. It had to know I was going to pass the path and realized I could not see its existence, so it had to avoid being hurt by me. I did not believe what the mediator told me, and I did nothing.

I stopped visiting doctors and Chinese medicine men because I had been tired of consuming their medicines. I was praying and praying at home and sometimes at temples. Once - after praying in a temple, unexpectedly I saw a mediator in the temple helping a patient. I felt interested in having a try and asking for his help. In my turn, he told me that I was lack of drinking water. He suggested me to drink water as much as I could. At home I though what he told me was right because I loved drinking coffee excessively and just 3 glasses of water after meals. I followed his advice, and within 3 days after taking his advice, I felt better and finally recovered after 2 weeks.

I still have other experiences, but I think these two experiences are enough because I am afraid that you are going to feel bored to read.


Some Reasonable Consideration

I am sure that most of us must believe in God. Holy Scriptures always tells us that evils exist and never stop persuading us to be their followers, and our only duty as God’s loyal creatures is to obey His words – His words are our commands. Till this point, it means supernatural world exits.

The uncertain conditions sometimes bring us to refer to the supernatural world. Sometimes it makes us forget our main duty in this world and pray to evils as we think evils always give us what we want to satisfy our contemporary wants and needs.

Based on my observations, there are some services from the supernatural world are valid to obtain in certain circumstances. They do not always come from evil’s services. Why do I think so?

Just say a mediator’s service. His or her body’s is occupied by another soul to communicate with a patient. What kind of soul is it? Personally I absolutely do not believe that a holy soul would occupy a mediator’s body. In the case I described above. The soul told me that he was a homeless soul. He had seen his world and realized that during his life- time (in his previous life with a body) he had not done enough good deeds. With God’s love, he still got the chance to make good deeds by using another’s body. In the interview, he told me that he used the chance well by using his medical-skill without involving any magical ability for he was a medicine man in his previous life. He wished that he could do a lot of good deeds in order to have a better life in his coming life. The soul helped me and also helped his self. Do you believe it or not?

You may ask, “Djohan, how the soul would come into a mediator’s body?” It is simple. Because human beings are the highest God’s creatures, other creatures must obey us. The other creatures are under our controls. What we say is their commands. It depends on how we make use the facilities from the supernatural world. If we make use of the facilities on good purposes, I think it is not a sin. But, sometimes we forget our position; some greedy people would put their selves under the evils’ controls and make use the facilities for bad purposes. By this time, evils come to accompany the sinners.

Using mediators is not the only way. If you are religious, I think by praying to God sincerely is the most effective way. Additionally, I have ever witnessed several wonderful treatments by Christians through their sincere prayers and belief. As the results, God blesses the blind people to see again, the lame people can walk normally, etc. It is really a miracle. It shows the glorious power of God.

And about fortune telling, I absolutely do not recommend anybody to consume. My destiny or fate is the total deeds of what I have done. It is useless and just wasting time and money. Only your self can help you to change the condition you are facing.


Bottom Line

The main purpose of this opinion is to tell you that using a supernatural product wisely in certain circumstances may be effective or help.

In some unpredictable condition that sometimes causes someone to loose his self-confidence, with a supernatural product might encourage or increase someone’s spirit to struggle throughout this competitive and dynamically changing world. In brief, a supernatural product could be a healing medicine psychologically. For example: if you establish a company and invites a Feng Shui master for his advice, and after following his advice to manage the architecture layout of your building to run your business, certainly the situation gives a better condition for carrying out your business as the positive value.

Try to know the limitation of using the supernatural products. If you misuse it, it costs too high for your life. Remember that God is always with us. If you pray to him sincerely, he is going to show you the way out.

We just hope and try, but God determines. Don’t let your selves turn and fall into sins, is my last words.

“Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so” (Deut. 18:10-14).......... I found your opinion most interesting, and a warning to all who would meddle in these sort of things. I've quoted the above quote from the Christian Bible (one of many it contains) where Christians are warned by God not to consult mediums and sorcerers, which you might find interesting.......I'm glad your leg got better.....Ken :O)
