INTRODUCTION

Follow these steps to help you research information for your project. You must do the activity one step at the time.

STEP 1 TASK DEFINITION

Defined Problem/Background

These past few days, my family has been talking about one of my cousins who can see spirits. When I think about it again, I actually know a lot of people around me who can see spirits. Knowing that, it got into my mind a question that I can't even answer for myself. How should I, as a Christian, think about this ability? This question came up to my mind because there are a lot of disagreements between what my religion teaches and what the ability proves (e.g. according to my religion once someone's dead, their soul should go up to heaven, while this ability proves that there are souls living between us and sometimes those souls look like the dead people we know). Having this controversial question in mind, I decided to make it as my Personal Project topic, as knowing the answer to this is of great importance for my spiritual life too.

Goal:

My goal is to increase my understanding about the behaviour and ethics the Bible according to the Christian Protestnat[Y1] worldwide view has towards a specific type of 6^th sense, and to compile all the information I get through the media of creative writing journal.[Y2]

What is your inquiry question?

How can I increase my understanding about the behavior and ethics Christianity Bethel has towards a specific type of 6^th sense and compile the information into a creative writing journal?[Y3]

What kinds of information are you looking for?

d. How does the chosen type of 6^th sense affect the lives of the people having it?

e. How are the people having it different from the ones that don’t?

f. How can some people have it?

2. How does Christianity Bethel view and act towards the chosen ability of 6^th sense? Why?[Y4]

a. What is the background belief of Christianity Bethel?[Y5]

b. What is 6^th sense in the perspective of Christianity Bethel?[Y6]

c. What is the biblical explanation of how some people can have the specific type of 6^th sense?

d. How does Christianity Bethel [Y7] view the people who have this ability? Is it okay biblically for people to have this ability or is it wrong?

e. How does Christianity Bethel [Y8] act towards the people who have the ability?

f. Is there any example of this ability being shown in the Bible? If yes, where and what impression/understanding does it give or leave to the reader?

g. How should outsiders (people who don’t have the ability) who are Christian Bethel view and act towards people who have the ability?

What is the definition of 6^th sense? a power of perception beyond the five senses; intuition http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sixth+sense?s=t : a power of perception like but not one of the five senses : a keen intuitive power http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sixth%20sense a supposed intuitive faculty giving awareness not explicable in terms of normal perception http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sixth%2Bsense?q=sixth+sense 6^th sense is another sense out of the 5^th sense that cannot be verified upon conscious reasoning like science or even our 5^th sense, which is usually why most people think 6^th sense is not useful, mysterious, and complicated. (http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html, verified with http://ezinearticles.com/?Sixth-Sense----Everyone-Has-It&id=1869006) Another terminology that can be used to define 6^th sense is ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). Everyone is born with 6^th sense however as they grow up their 6^th sense will slowly fade away, as they are not put in practice because of course parents teaches their kids to use their 5^th sense as maximum as possible so that they can interact with the world. (newagedirectory.com, Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam, verified with Rahasia Super Dahsyat Indra Keenam) Even so it does not always end up like that. Some people when they grow old still can have 6^th sense because either they practice it or of a difference in their body b. What are the categories of 6^th sense? c. What is the uniqueness of each category? - ~~Teleporting~~ - ~~Telekinesis~~ - ~~Telepathy~~ - ~~Levitation~~ - ~~Clairvoyance~~ - ~~Clairsentience~~ - ~~Clairaudience~~ - ~~Psychometri~~ o ~~Abstract Wetensekhaf~~ o ~~Relative Abstract Wetensekhaf~~ o ~~Absolute Abstract Wetensekhaf????~~ ~~(Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam)~~ There are countless of categories of 6^th sense but some of them are… - Clairsentience “This power of what is clairsentience is manifested in two different ways: sense extension and sense projection. A psychic child, for example may "hear" his mother while she is visiting with a neighbor or a psychic person might just know about someone hiding where they can't see them, but they just have a paranormal sense that they are there. This is often confused with ESP, but this sixth sense uses the faculties of the other five senses to process the psychic information they receive. Sense extension consists of the ability to extend ones' senses a short distance from one's body. With this practice, only barriers such as his or her skill at sensing limit the psychic, distance does not affect the ability at all in many cases. The senses of touch, hearing, smell, taste, and sight are used in sense extension.” http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/sentience/forum/topics/variances-of-beyond-sentience?xg_source=activity “"Feeling" things about people or situations that we otherwise could not know. People who are strong in this ability often talk about having "gut feelings" about things, and are usually very sensitive to energies and emotions of other people. Negative energies can often cause a wrenching or queasy feeling in the abdominal area. This sense can also warn of problematic upcomings or situations (having a "bad" feeling about something).” http://www.wingsforthespirit.com/developing-your-psychic-abilities.htm “Clear seeing beyond the gross sense organs of the eyes is known as clairsentience.” http://books.google.co.id/books?id=NUVPvA5oUX8C&pg=PA100&lpg=PA100&dq=subtle+sense+organs+clairsentience&source=bl&ots=jXp_mo0JsZ&sig=RcHsNne_mDFAEwsFEC0NWxA7auA&hl=id#v=onepage&q=subtle%20sense%20organs%20clairsentience&f=false - Clairvoyance/The Third Eye The ability to be aware “of objects, events, or people without the use of the known senses.” The World Book “It is related to the images that are always present in our minds that bring messages from other frequency and realms. These images can be archetypes, colors and still frames, as well as animations. They can be anything; remaining a few seconds or much longer. Initially it may be easiest to see them with your eyes closed.” http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/sentience/forum/topics/variances-of-beyond-sentience?xg_source=activity - Clairaudience The ability to hear beyond the ability of the ears. The ability to hear subtle voices. - Telepathy The ability to receive information from another organism that is from a long distance without the use of any technologies (such as cell phone) or help from any other thing. - Precognition The ability to see the future through flashing images that enters the mind when awake, sudden vision, hallucination, or dream. - Telekinesis “The ability to move things with the power of the mind. Telekinesis or Psychokinesis is about the movement of energy from faster moving frequency to the physical level. Telekinesis or Psychokinesis (PK) also refers to moving objects from one place to another without using physical contact. It also means re-shaping of objects using the mind's energies, such as bending a spoon, or key, by just holding it and focusing. The term 'Psychokinesis' comes from the Greek words psyche meaning life or soul and kineisis meaning to move.” http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/sentience/forum/topics/variances-of-beyond-sentience?xg_source=activity (The World Book, Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam, Through the Wormhole, http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/sentience/forum/topics/variances-of-beyond-sentience?xg_source=activity, http://www.wingsforthespirit.com/developing-your-psychic-abilities.htm, http://books.google.co.id/books?id=NUVPvA5oUX8C&pg=PA100&lpg=PA100&dq=subtle+sense+organs+clairsentience&source=bl&ots=jXp_mo0JsZ&sig=RcHsNne_mDFAEwsFEC0NWxA7auA&hl=id#v=onepage&q=subtle%20sense%20organs%20clairsentience&f=false) d. How does the chosen ability affect the lives of the people having it? From the research I did, I found out that the most frequent spirit that they see has a white appearance, human outline, opaque and flying. This ability mostly affects their spiritual life by being more dependent to God for the reason that they know and experienced of when they say God’s name, the spirits they see will stay afar from them. The ability affects their daily live by enabling them to see different/more things than the normal people will see. It sometimes bothers them because those spirits sometimes look scary, and they can be anywhere around them, they don’t have any manners like we do so sometimes those spirits can surprise and make the people who have the ability feel uncomfortable. Even so, they got used to it after awhile. (Interviews, INSERT infotainment) e. How are the people having the abilities different from the ones that don’t? In general, the people who have this specific ability of 6^th sense… - Feels different from the others - Doesn’t like to talk about their abilities/quite secretive about them The other characteristics are really subjective to the person’s surrounding and attitude on dealing with it (some can be depressed, some might need to be accompanied all the time (scared when being alone), some can have sleeping disorders, behavioral problems, etc.) f. How can some people have it? Opening of chakra (the third eye/ajna) that can allow people to adjust their frequencies (can be opened through yoga, occult methods, etc.), brain development that is more than the normal, a well functioning pineal gland (because in the nowadays, the pineal gland that is located in the center of our brain is usually not functioning really well, as a scientific research found out that pineal gland is sensitive to the substance of sodium fluoride, which in the nowadays is a common substance in our food & drinks (e.g. in coke, pepsi, water supply)).

Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) a. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? The information obtained helps me respond to my inquiry question and it belongs to my topic because it answers the sub questions of my first main question, which is a part of my big inquiry question. The information will help me to develop my project product because it will help me understand and know on what to write in my product, which is a creative writing in a journal form later on. The information connects clearly with my AOI because this part of the research can be said as the Awareness Understanding step of the Inquiry cycle, as it is obvious that this part of research is exploring about the social issue of 6^th sense. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information is reliable because all the websites, film and books, encyclopedia used for this research are copyrighted. Two of the websites I used though (http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/06/21/kids-who-see-ghosts-author-talks-psychology-paranormal & http://www.wingsforthespirit.com/developing-your-psychic-abilities.htm) are not copyrighted but I know that this website is reliable because this website is made by organizations. Besides, the information obtained from those sources can be verified to other copyrighted source, which means their information is reliable. The people I interviewed too are reliable sources because they are the ones who have the chosen type of sixth sense and I know that they do have the ability because I have previously researched on the characteristics of a psychic (person who has the ability of sixth sense) and they all have most of those characteristics. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source? The information that is labeled as certain is accurate because it can be verified upon another source. - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sixth+sense?s=t can be verified to http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sixth%2Bsense?q=sixth+sense and http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sixth%20sense - http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html can be verified to http://ezinearticles.com/?Sixth-Sense----Everyone-Has-It&id=1869006 - Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam can be verified to these other sources: Rahasia Super Dahsyat Indra Keenam, and http://www.newagedirectory.com/sixth/howsixth.htm - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3383014/My-children-see-dead-people.html can be verified to http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201206/your-sixth-sense, http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sleeping-angels/200904/ghost-in-the-house, and the movie The Sixth Sense. - Angela Sari can be verified to Anonymous - http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/06/21/kids-who-see-ghosts-author-talks-psychology-paranormal can be verified to these sources: Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam and http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/06/19/pineal-gland-our-third-eye-the-biggest-cover-up-in-human-history/ - http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/06/19/pineal-gland-our-third-eye-the-biggest-cover-up-in-human-history/ can be verified to: Prenatal Kriya Yoga: Wisdom in Pregnancy and Motherhood - http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Brain.html can be verified to: http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/06/19/pineal-gland-our-third-eye-the-biggest-cover-up-in-human-history/ - The information obtained from these sources: http://www.wingsforthespirit.com/developing-your-psychic-abilities.htm, Prenatal Kriya Yoga: Wisdom in Pregnancy and Motherhood, http://lightgrid.ning.com/group/sentience/forum/topics/variances-of-beyond-sentience?xg_source=activity, The World Book ^.E, Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam book, Through the Wormhole documentary can be verified to each other. D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? Not every source is published in the 2012. There are some sources that are published in the 1999, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011. However, the information obtained from those sources can be verified upon another source, which proves that the information is still valuable. E. Is the information objective/not biased? (Objectivity) The information is not biased proven from its ability to be verified upon another source. F. What information do I still need? G. What new questions does my research bring?
Criterion D. Application of Information Students should transfer and apply information to make decisions, create solutions and develop understandings in connection with the project’s goal. (Note: Please include reference/in-text citation) How is this information useful throughout the project to achieve the goal for: 1. Specifications of the product/outcomes: One of my design specifications is to include all the information I got from my research (the answers to all of my sub questions), and by having this information then I can achieve this specific design specification. 2. The techniques chosen in different stages: Design: By knowing this information now, it will help me know on which place is this information best suited in in the flow of the story in the final product later on Plan: - Create: This information will help me to know on what to put in my final product, as my final product has to include all the answers to my sub questions Evaluate/Testing Method: This information will help me to improve my understanding and score in my post test that will judge the achievement of my goal

What is the background belief of Christianity? We Believe: 1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. 2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. 4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. 5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. 6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. 7. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people. 8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. 9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. 10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. 12. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet. 13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. 14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. http://dbr.gbi-bogor.org/wiki/Church_of_God#Pengajaran_dasar, verified to http://www.apb.or.id/?page_id=33 b. What is 6^th sense in the perspective of Christianity? It is one of the gifts from the Holy Spirit. However, if the ability is given after a teaching and learning process that exclude the use of Bible, the ability is given from Satan, and if the ability gives anxiety to the person, it is known that the ability is a gift from Satan. (Pdt. Benny Kohar) c. What is the biblical explanation of how some people can have 6^th sense? If it is given from the HS: It is given from the Holy Spirit as a personal gift to humankind. If it is given from Satan: It can be an inheritance from their ancestor or learnt from (Pdt. Benny Kohar) d. How does Christianity act towards the people who have the ability? e. How does Christianity view the people who have this ability? Is it okay biblically for people to have this ability or is it wrong? Christianity Bethel is accepting towards the people who have this gift. Even if possible, they want this gift to be able to be channeled to ministries. (Pdt. Benny Kohar) f. Is there any example of this ability being shown in the Bible? If yes, where and what impression/understanding does it give or leave to the reader? Acts 10:1-8 where Cornelius saw the angel of God who then sent a message to him. In this verse, it is shown that Cornelius, the man who was devoted to God, uses the gift. From that, we can conclude that the bible, the Words of God is accepting of this type of sixth sense but not only just that, it also teaches. (Pdt. Benny Kohar & the bible) g. How should outsiders (who don’t have the ability) that are Christians view and act towards people who have the ability? We have to see it as a gift from God; therefore we should respect it. (Pdt. Benny Kohar)
Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) b. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? Yes it does respond to my inquiry question and is related to my topic because the information obtained answers the sub questions of one of the three main questions I have, which are actually parts of my inquiry question. The information will also help me develop my project product, a creative writing journal, as it helps me understand and know on what to write in the product later. The information connects clearly with my AOI because it is clear that this research is a part of the reflection step in the inquiry cycle, as here I am discussing about the social issue of 6^th sense in the perspective/point of view of Christianity Bethel. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information source I use for the first sub question is reliable because it came from the Bethel church’s official website and can be verified to a Bethel’s association website. The information I got from the priest named Benny Kohar is also reliable, as he is the priest (Wakil Gembala Sidang) of Gereja Bethel Indonesia Danau Bogor Raya. The Bible is a reliable source because it is copyrighted and it is the book of truth. It never really changes from time to time. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source? Yes, the information is accurate because the information I got from this website: http://dbr.gbi-bogor.org/wiki/Church_of_God#Pengajaran_dasar can be verified to this website: http://www.apb.or.id/?page_id=33. The information I got from the priest is accurate because some of the information can be verified to the Bible but some other can be verified to this source: D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? The information that answers the first sub question of this main question is not known to be current or old. There is no information of the publication date in both the source I use to obtain and verify the information. However, I can assume that the information is still current because the information is obtained from the official website of an existing church and so the website must still be updated until now.

Web. 11st of Aug ’12. <http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-improve-your-writing/>	A journal can be a periodical of a specific field, daily periodical, a daily record of transactions, or a personal daily record of experiences, occurrences, ideas/thoughts, observations or reflection. (Dictionaries) Some types of personal journal: - Personal writing journal - Creative writing journal A creative writing journal is a great way to record those short (or long) stories, poems, musical lyrics and/or drawings that are just waiting to escape your subconscious mind and come alive on paper. Many times people daydream and get poems, ideas, etc. that sound just right at the moment and then become lost in the subconscious mind because they didn’t take a moment to write it down. So, be sure to always keep a journal and pen handy – whether you decide to keep a journal specifically for creative writing or not, you’ll always be prepared to jot those thoughts and ideas down on paper – you never know what’ll emerge! I’ve known many writers who keep a journal on their nightstands for when inspiration strikes in the middle of the night. - Memory book or journal - Gratitude journal - Prayer journal - Family journal - Friendship journal - Scrapbook - Sketchbook - Travel journal - Recipe journal http://www.scribetime.net/types-of-journals-and-journal-writing/ verified with Ms. Terri Specifications of a qualified creative writing journal: - Shows a progression of time through the dates - Follows the plotline - Shows a progression of understanding - Grammar, spelling, flow of one thought to the other/transition, and sentence structure that is still understandable or that don’t hinder the message of the sentence - Interesting flow of story (Ms. Terri verified with http://jerz.setonhill.edu/writing/creative1/shortstory/) A creative writing journal does not have a rigid structure like an informative essay. However, each entry should be dated. (Ms. Terri verified with Mahalo.com) Skills needed: - Writing (expressing thoughts into writings, having transitions over one thought to another, etc.) - Grammar - Spelling - Creative writing (making the story interesting for people to read, using the plotline, etc.) (Ms. Terri verified with Mahalo.com) Software for me to use (recommended by Ms. Terri): - Pages (for Mac) - Microsoft Word - Microsoft Publisher Even so, the software used must be the most comfortable software for the author to use, and that will be Microsoft Word for me. (Ms. Terri verified with Mahalo.com)
Evaluate your sources! (The Evaluation should be done per-topic research, not per-resource and draft should be posted on the journal) c. How the information suited to the project? (Coverage) Does the information help me respond to the inquiry question? Does the information belong to my topic? Will the information help me to develop my project product? Does the information connect clearly with the area of interaction or aspects of it? The information helps me respond the inquiry question and it belongs to my topic, as it answers the sub questions of one of the three main questions taken from my inquiry question. The information will definitely help me develop my project product because it will help me determine the specifications and steps on how to make a qualified journal. The information connects clearly with my AOI because it is clear that this research is preparing myself to take the action step in the inquiry cycle, as I am trying to find out how to present the behavior and ethics Christianity Bethel gives towards the social issue of 6^th sense. B. Is the information source reliable (Authority)? Where does the information come from? The information is reliable because it comes from a well-known dictionary (both in print form and Internet) that is copyrighted and the information obtained from them. The information obtained from the scribetime.net website is also reliable because the website is copyrighted. The information obtained from Ms. Terri Davis is reliable because she is an English teacher in SPH Sentul City teaching English HL class for grade 8, 9, and 10. The jerz.setonhill.edu website is a reliable source because it is an educational website known from the “.edu” at the end of the website address. The Mahalo.com website is reliable because it is copyrighted. C. Is the information accurate? Can the information be verified in another source? The information is accurate, as all the information obtained can be verified to another source.

D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older? The information is still current. Almost all of the sources I used are published or said (for interview) in 2012. Even though the print dictionary I used is not current, published in 1995, the information is still valuable and correct proven from its ability to be verified to other sources that are current (Dictionary.com & Merriam-webster.com). The jerz.setonhill.edu website is published in the 2011 but the information is still valuable proven from its ability to be verified to another source that is “published” in 2012 (the interview with Ms. Terri Davis). The scribetime.net website has a unknown date of publication but I know that the information is still valuable because it can be verified to another source that is current (interview with Ms. Terri Davis). E. Is the information objective/not biased? (Objectivity) The information is objective because it can be verified to another source and the information obtained is the same, which means that there are no opinions or personal feelings involved in the production of the information.
