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.
My goal is to increase my understanding about the behaviour
and ethics the Bible, according to the Christian worldwide view, has towards a
specific type of 6th sense, and to compile all the information I get
through the media of creative writing journal.
- What is your inquiry question?

about the behavior and ethics the Bible that is seen from the Christianity
perspective has towards a specific type of 6th sense and compile the
information into a creative writing journal?

a.
What is the definition of
6th sense?
“a power
of perception
beyond the
five senses;
intuition”
“: a power of
perception like but not one of the five senses : a keen
intuitive power”
“a supposed
intuitive faculty giving awareness not explicable in terms of normal
perception”
“Misalnya, kita mengatakan bahwa gula itu manis,
dan kita mengetahuinya melalui indra pengecap, dan hal ini dapat diverifikasi
dan diidentifikasi secara ilmiah.
Akan tetapi ada hal-hal tertentu yang terjadi yang
kadang-kadang tidak dapat dianalisa berdasarkan kelima indra manusia atau di luar
kemampuan nalar manusia untuk memverifikasinya…Kemampuan inilah yang sering
disebut “intuisi” atau juga disebut ‘indra keenam’.” (Pamungkuas, Wisnawan) ß Rahasia
Super Dahsyat Indra Keenam
“The truth is everyone has
psychic ability. However, for the majority of people it is hidden, ignored,
untested or distrusted.” (Neddermeyer, Dorothy) ß http://ezinearticles.com/?Sixth-Sense----Everyone-Has-It&id=1869006
6th sense is another sense
out of the 5th sense that cannot be verified upon conscious
reasoning like science or even our 5th sense, which is usually why
most people think 6th 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, http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201206/your-sixth-sense) Another terminology that can be
used to define 6th sense is ESP (Extra Sensory Perception).
Everyone is born with 6th sense however as they grow up their 6th
sense will slowly fade away, as they are not put in practice because of
course parents teaches their kids to use their 5th sense as
maximum as possible so that they can interact with the world.
(abundance-and-happiness.com, newagedirectory.com,
Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam, verified with Rahasia Super Dahsyat Indra Keenam)
“The primary reason that few are able to consciously and consistently
utilize their sixth sense in the modern world is simply due to the fact that
most don't believe they have the ability and due to the fast paced world we
exist in, the vast majority are so active in a brain activity kind of way
that the sixth sense has no chance of being realized or developed.” (The
Sixth Sense) ß http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html
Even so it does not always end up
like that. Some people when they grow old still can have 6th sense
because either they practice it or of a difference in their body
b.
What are the categories
of 6th sense?
c.
What is the uniqueness of each
category?
There are
countless of categories of 6th 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.”
“"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.
According to both people
I interviewed, their 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 6th 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.)
(movie, http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sleeping-angels/200904/ghost-in-the-house,
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3383014/My-children-see-dead-people.html)
f.
How can some people
have it?
Opening
of chakra (the third eye/ajna), 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)) that can
allow people to adjust their frequencies (can be opened through yoga, occult
methods, etc.), religious level.
Various Researches every since have proved Sodium Fluoride goes to the most important gland in the brain? It’s the only thing that attacks the most important center of our gland in the brain. It’s prevalent in foods, beverages and in our bath and drinking water. Sodium Fluoride is put in 90% of the United States water supply. Water filters you buy in supermarkets do not take the fluoride out. Only reverse osmosis or water distillation. The cheapest way is to buy a water distiller.
Sodium Fluoride is in our water supply, food, pepsi, coke, to dumb
down the masses, literally!.” (admin) ß http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/06/19/pineal-gland-our-third-eye-the-biggest-cover-up-in-human-history/
“In order to
tune into this world we need a ‘spiritual antenna’, i.e. our sixth sense
needs to be awakened. Our sixth sense grows when we do spiritual practice.”
(What is sixth sense?) ß http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/spiritualscience/sixthsense
“Ada pula
yang mengatakan, bhawa indra keenam ibarat mata ketiga pada diri Anda. Titik
keberadaany berada di pangkal hidung di anatara kedua bola mata. Oleh pelaku
meditasi cakra, titik ini biasa disebut dengan cakra ajna.” (Ekokaf) ß Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam
“Sementara itu, dari sudut pandang
psikologi, indra keenam diprediksi akan berfungsi bila otak kanan manusia
bisa berfungsi di atas kemampuan optimal rata-rata sehingga bisa melahirkan
sebuah efek ketajaman naluri secara kejiwaan.” (Ekokaf) ß Dahsyatnya Indra Keenam

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
6th 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. Three of the websites I
used though (http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/06/21/kids-who-see-ghosts-author-talks-psychology-paranormal, http://www.newagedirectory.com/sixth/howsixth.htm & 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.

|
a. What is the background belief of Christianity?
That Christianity is a united body in which we will
never experience a certain situation alone.
(Mr. Brian)
-
Believes
in one God that is omnipresent, powerful, perfect, creator of everything,
graceful
-
The
Trinity (the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit)
-
Jesus
was born from a human woman named Mary
-
Jesus
was crucified on a cross to pay for all humans’ sin so that they won’t have
to suffer the consequence of sin, which is death
-
Believes
in eternal life after life but not earthly reincarnation

p.
What is 6th 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.
When it is a gift from the Holy Spirit,
it goes along with the gift of knowing/defining the spirit seen.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
Now to each once the manifestation of
the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit
the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the
same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing
by that one Spirit to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to
another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different
kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All
these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one,
just as he determines.
(Pdt. Benny Kohar & Pdt. Freddy Zakharia & the Bible)
When it is a gift from God, it goes
along/doesn’t conflicted the Bible.
(Mr. Brian Cox)
q.
What is the biblical explanation of
how some people can have the specific type of 6th 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 & Pdt. Freddy Zakharia)
r.
How does Christianity act towards the
people who have the ability?
s.
How does the Bible according to the
Christianity perspective view the people who have this ability? Is it biblically
allowed for people to have this ability or not?
Christianity is accepting towards the
people who have this gift. Even if possible, this religion wants this gift to
be able to be channeled to ministries. They encourage people who have this gift
to go deeper into their gift that came from the Holy Spirit.
(Pdt. Benny Kohar & Pdt. Freddy Zakharia)
t.
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 that, it also teaches
(Pdt. Benny Kohar & the bible)
a.
How should outsiders (people who
don’t have the ability) who are Christians view and act towards the people
who have the ability?
Check if the gift is truly from God.
Check with other Christians and the Bible.
(Mr. Brian)
We have to see it as a gift from God;
therefore we should respect it.
(Pdt. Benny Kohar & Pdt. Freddy Zakharia)

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 6th 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 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. Mr. Brian Cox is a reliable source because he clearly is a person who
has a strong basis in Christianity. Pdt. Freddy Zakharia is also a reliable
source because he is a priest of a Christian church called Gereja Bethel
Indonesia Centro City. The bbc.co.uk and abc.net.au websites are reliable too
because they are copyrighted.
C. Is the information accurate? Can the
information be verified in another source?
Yes, the
information I got from the priest is accurate because some of the information
can be verified to the Bible and some other can be verified to these other sources:
Mr. Brian Cox and Pdt. Freddy Zakharia. The information I got from abc.net.au
is also accurate because it can be verified to the bbc.co.uk website.
D. Is the information up-to-date? (Currency) Is the information current or still valuable if it is older?
The
information I got from my interviews with the priests (Pdt. Benny Kohar and
Pdt. Freddy Zakharia) and Mr. Brian is also current of course because I just
did the interview recently. The information I got from the Bible is valuable
because even though the Bible is published in the year 2001, the information
in the Bible is always the same. The information I got from the bbc.co.uk
website is not really up-to-date because it is last updated in the year 2009
however the information is still valuable because it is can be verified with
the information I got from the abc.net.au website that is last updated in
2012.
E. Is the
information objective/not biased? (Objectivity)
The information obtained is proven not
biased because it can be verified to another source.
F. What information
do I still need?
-
G. What new
questions does my research bring?
How can I include all the information I’ve
obtained into a creative writing journal?

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:
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.
-
That
the type of sixth sense that sees the spirit can be a gift from the Holy
Spirit or from Satan
-
A
gift from the Holy Spirit must never conflicted the Bible and always goes along
with another gift of being able to define the spirit seen
-
If the gift is given from the Holy Spirit,
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 personally
-
Christianity
accepts and encourage people that have this ability to use it for ministries
(e.g. exorcism)
-
People
who have this ability should be encouraged by a supportive surroundings so
that they will use their ability in the right way (Zakharia, Freddy), (Cox,
Brian) & (Kohar, Benny)
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

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.”

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.

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 6th
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. The information I got from this website: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/journal can be verified to this
sources: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/journal?s=t and Oxford Learner's
Pocket Dictionary. The
information I got from this website: http://www.scribetime.net/types-of-journals-and-journal-writing/ can be verified to this
source: Terri Davis, an English teacher from SPH Sentul City. Some other
information I got from Ms. Terri Davis can also be verified to this source: http://jerz.setonhill.edu/writing/creative1/shortstory/ and http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-improve-your-writing/.
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.
F. What information
do I still need?
-
G. What new
questions does my research bring?

d. Shows
a progression of understanding/thoughts and emotions
e. Understandable

other/transition, and sentence structure that don’t hinder the message of the
sentence)
Proof:
“You’re going to have to have a progression of time…and you would
indicate that by dates of the entry in the journal. You’re going to want to
follow the plotline of a creative writing story…You will want to show the
progression of understanding of whatever the conflict is which for you is the
answering this question of sixth sense. That’s the most basic in terms of
what is necessary; of course you’ll have to look at grammar, sentence
structure, spelling and thoughts flowing cohesively and things like that.”
(Davis, Terri)
