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 Christianity Bethel has towards a specific type
of 6th sense, and to compile all the information I get through the
media of 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
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) 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.
(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 6th sense
because either they practice it or of a difference in their body.???????
The notion of extrasensory
perception existed in antiquity. In many ancient cultures, such powers were
ascribed to people who purported to use them for second sight or communicate
with deities, ancestors, spirits, and the like. http://www.abundance-and-happiness.com/the-sixth-sense.html ??????
b.
What are the categories
of 6th 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????
d.
How does the chosen
ability affect the lives of the people having it?
It 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 “things” they see can be anywhere around them but they got used to it
after awhile.
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.)
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)).

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
used for this research are copyrighted. One of the websites I used though (http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/06/21/kids-who-see-ghosts-author-talks-psychology-paranormal) is not copyrighted but I know that this website is
reliable because this website is made by an organization. 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.

(Currency) Is the information current or still
valuable if it is older?

sources can be verified upon another source, which proves that the
information is still valuable.

a. What is the background belief of Christianity Bethel?
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.

b.
What is 6th sense in the
perspective of Christianity Bethel?
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 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)
d.
How does Christianity Bethel act
towards the people who have the ability?
e.
How does Christianity Bethel 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 Christian Bethel 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)

b.
How the

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 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. The information I got from my interview with
the priest 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.
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?

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.

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?
