How could Helen Keller conquer her handicaps? Was she psychic?
November 18th, 2010
Question:
How could she write a book, go everywhere, mix actively in life and become a beloved personality?
Yes she had a good teacher, but than again she was blind and deaf…therefore her intuitive insights, senses are more in tune, developed using her natural psychic abilities at a higher rate than normal. Intuition was another teacher. Reason why she was able to advance faster than many of the other handicap people, she was able to perceive someones thoughts, situation, or issues in life without using one of the five “ordinary” senses. Being blind and deaf made it more natural to use her six sense, ESP.
Helen Keller didn’t have to meditate to exercise intuition, she didn’t have to close her eyes, she was blind, and being deaf made it easier not having to seek or create quiet time to meditate, she was aware of her surroundings by using her intuition to guide her, and provide her with encouragement and information.
That’s what I perceive how Helen Keller overcame her challenges.
There are no handicaps, only challenges~
How do you see it?
Spazz…If you went blind today, you will be able to find tune in time your psychic awareness, we all have the ability to do so. But for Helen this was normal since she had to grow up to what we say is handicaps.
There’s a lot of senses that are there that aren’t sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste….they aren’t necessarily psychic…like a sense of timing, a sense of temperature…she never knew sight or sound, and her other senses developed insanely to replace them. She had her whole life to adapt herself and never knew any differently. There are so many tricks to getting around without vision and hearing, it isn’t even hard, I know this from personal experience with heavy sunglasses, thick hair and headphones
As you said, she grew up with what we’d call handicaps, but her abilities around them don’t necessarily have to be psychic phenomena.
I know this isn’t really an answer to your question, but Helen Keller is not only famous for being blind and deaf. Her real claim to fame is her contribution to fighting for womens sufferage. (right to vote)
I guess, her inabilities motivated her to become more with the rest of her life and push further than most people.
When you watch the movies and books they really dramatize the blind and deaf thing much more than it really should be. The truth is, she was born that way, and so she lived with it all her life. Kind of like if someone is born without arms. We all think its amazing that they can open a peanut butter jar with thier feet. However, to them, they are just opening up some peanut butter. Think about it.
I also think all of us have more than five senses. I am good with words, but lousy at throwing a football compared to a professional. We each have our strong points and our weaknesses. I think you may well be right. Something that I may have heard or may have come up with myself is,
A teacher is only as good as the student.
Not always true, not entirely true, but there is some truth there. I have thought much the same as you, but I have never put my thoughts down as you have. One thing I might mention, and this is in response to the “Jesus” quote. When I was still in the early stages of doubting the Baha’i Faith, I kept on running into things that were at a minimum very strange coincidences. I wish I had kept track of them and written them down, but I did not. Some people would have been convinced at the sheer number of them and the strange way they kept popping up, but since it was possible they were all coincidences, that is where I left them. But I remember reading from maybe four or five sources about Helen Keller, and there was a quote that jumped out at me. She was quoted as saying, “We would all be better off if we studied the philosophy of Baha’u'llah.” Today, I would have made careful note of exactly where I read it. Back then, it was merely another of many interesting coincidences.
There are no handicaps, only challenges. I like that. Are you the source?
Peace
You can do so very much when you have no other choice.
Helen Keller was only deaf and blind she had full capacity of her brain function. it was with touch that she learned, remember she at one time did have all of her senses,until about the age of a year and a half, and that is long enough to get some speech patterns down, and to be aware of her surroundings, and that was suddenly taken away from her,it frustrated her because she was unable to communicate her feelings and thoughts.
With her 1st teacher she learned to use her sense of touch for communication, she had companions all through her life to help her with her needs.
Was she gifted with a sixth sense? I think we all are, but whether we use it or not is a different story, I have wondered if she was not so focused on using her senses that she knew she had left, and developed those rather then relying on a sense(s) that wasn’t working for her.
Helen Keller was intelligent and amazingly determined, as was her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who was very clever in how she was able to establish a way of communicating with a person who was essentially closed off from human communication before. Human beings are capable of incredible things using just the natural abilities that they do have.
I heard that when someone told her about Jesus.. she said something like “Oh… is he the one who has been with me all this time . I wondered who it was.” (not exact words) . Not sure this is true…I heard it or read it somewhere. Maybe it was her guide….or ..maybe it was Jesus. IDK. Evidently she sensed a presence.
VERY STRONG WILLED ONCE SHE WAS TAUGHT SIGN LANGUAGE IT GAVE A PURPOSE TO HELP OTHERS
If I went blind, mute, and deaf today I would still be a determined individual.
Think about it this way, we aren’t forced to utilize our senses to the fullest extent individually because we have the other ones to pick up the slack. Was there some sort of ESP? Possibly, I suppose. I would tend to think that Helen was a motivated person, refusing to give in to the disabilities she had to deal with.
Finding “encouragement” around her should indicate this belief. She had a positive outlook on life. But a sixth sense? I would simply say she had mastered the senses she had, to an extent we (as everyday people) have never done.
