Dementia Alzheimer's & Psychic Ability

11:36pm 10 Sept Sun 

I was looking up the connection between Dementia & Psychic Ability because according to a psychic surgeon, dad has dementia. A  few years back,  I already suspected that dad might be senile, but since he still seemed to talk rationally, I thought it might not be.

What I mean to find is what happens when a psychic goes crazy with his abilities.   Like Superman who has gone nuts. Is that possible?

For my bro's sanity,  I wonder if we should visit dad & talk to him? I know his concern was that he didn't leave much money for us & he worries it is not enough. I can't believe he cares only for himself & I think it's his dementia & that ghost (or whatever) he worships that has made him like this.


What is the solution to our problem? What is the answer to the question?  Bro thinks that entity inside him may have deceived the psychic surgeon & that in fact, the entity never left. And that dad has no dementia. "That thing is very cunning. It's just a trick to make you soft." said Bro. "Once you fall into the trap, finish.".

In childhood, we come into the world empty of earthly knowledge. Gradually, we build for ourselves an identity, created out of the experiences and memories of our ongoing lives, and it is these experiences and memories that tie us to the world. But eventually, it becomes time to leave again. Many aging adults experience a second childhood, which we now call dementia. And as the trappings of life slowly drop away with age -- memory, personality, language, even recognition of self -- the person is slowly and inexorably freed from the bonds of earthly existence. Eventually, they are delivered to a dimension beyond space and time that we, the young and vibrant, can only glimpse through the visions of madmen and, if we're lucky, our elders.

It's a nice, comforting & warm way of explaining it. A more accepting way about a merciless process.

Although the following quote has nothing to do with Alzheimer's disease, it sums up for me what is perhaps the greatest lesson of this strange odyssey I find myself on:

"The Pearl of Great Price, The Holy Grail, the Vision of God, Nirvana, Valhalla, Heaven, or Salvation, call it what you will, it will not be found until the individual forgets who they are, and what they are looking for. Then they shall find it. " (21)

Meaning? A person has got to lose his marbles & Self in order to see Heaven? What's the point? Frankly, I don't need to find such Holy Grail. You can keep it.

Joen Fagan, PhD is a psychologist with a great deal of experience in working with people with dementia and their caregivers.  He is currently working on a book with Jean Harsch, MSW, which proposes that “it is possible that there are spiritual dimensions to dementia and that being sensitive to these may help a little” with the incredibly difficult task of caring for someone with dementia.

In a phone interview, Fagan reported an instance of clairvoyance involving his partner Irma that had occurred when she had had Lewy body dementia for seven years.  At that point, she was bedridden, prone to hallucinations and delusions, and only somewhat able to talk coherently.  Fagan was in another room from Irma, with a connecting hallway in between, about 28 feet away, with his back to her, but just visible to her.  He was writing a check to one of their certified nursing assistants.  They were not speaking.

As he handed the check to the assistant, Irma called out clearly, “That check is wrong!”  Fagan and the assistant were stunned.  It’s worth noting that Irma had hated anything to do with numbers her whole life and had never been the check-writer in the family.  Fagan re-did his math, and found that he had, indeed, calculated the payment wrong!

I worked in a memory care center. At times strange happenings would arise. A sort of clarity would come through. residents would make comments to me that fit into my current affairs for which they had no way of knowing. It was very strange to have experienced this , but I believe there is a type of connection somehow.
