Thursday, August 9, 2012

Pretest for 30 mins.


1. What is your understanding about the sixth sense? (broad)
2. What are the characteristics of those who possess sixth sense? (specific)
3. Would people think the sixth sense as a blessing or a curse? (specific)
4. What are the positive and negative effects for those who have the sixth sense? (specific)
5. What do people who possess the sixth sense usually do with this capability (positive and/or negative)? (specific)
6. Is there any possibilities for “all people” to have the sixth sense and how? (specific)
7. Is there any such thing as “the sixth sense” in the Bible? Explain. (specific)
8. What are the differences between general and Biblical understanding about the sixth sense? (specific)
9. Is the ability to see the spirit a blessing or the opposite?

Pre-test
1.    Sixth sense is the ability for humans to see the unseen world, to know the future, etc.
2.    Maybe people who possess sixth sense (specific to the one that can see the unseen world) are always a loner (doesn’t like to interact with anyone/doesn’t have friends) because they know that they are different; they see differently than the others.
3.    Sixth sense (specific to the one that can see the unseen world) should be a blessing from God because some people have it from when they are born. However, as I know, there are also some people who are able to have sixth sense from a learning process. In this case, I would also think that it is a blessing because still if God doesn’t let the people to have the ability, then He wouldn’t give it to them.
4.    The positive effect would be for them to be able to see and send messages (be a medium) from the unseen world to the real world. The negative effects would be for them to be differentiated/alienated by their peers because they are different, and to be scared when being alone (completely alone without anyone by around them).
5.    It really depends on the person. I would think that most people would use it negatively (by using it for scaring other people for fun or for scaring/ruining their own lives unintentionally) because they don’t really know on how to use it properly, as this issue is rarely brought up in public and I bet they wouldn’t search it up too because they would think that it’s their incapability.
6.    No, I don’t think everyone is able to have sixth sense because even though you can learn it, it’s still God’s power/will to give it to you.
7.    Yes. There are a lot of examples of the sixth sense (specific to the ability of seeing the unseen world) being used in the Bible. One example is when Mary, Jesus’ mother saw the angel and heard that she will conceive a baby named Jesus.
8.    In general, people will think that 6th sense is simply an ability to see the unseen world, however in a biblical point of view, 6th sense is a gift from God to human so that they can interact with the unseen world.
9.    I think that the ability for people to see spirits is a blessing.

Internet Research on the 5th of Aug '12

3 things I understood well:
- Christian Bethel believes:

  • In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
  • In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

  • 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.
  • That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
  • In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
  • Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
  • In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
  • In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
  • 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.
  • Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
  • In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
  • 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.
  • In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Appendix 9. Ibu Yuda's Feedbacks - 3rd of Aug '12

Investigation Form

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

A.    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.

B.    Goal:

My goal is to increase my understanding about the behaviour and ethics Christianity Bethel has towards a specific ability of 6th sense (comment: Based on Bathel Christianity point of view (Church point of view) (Please see your 3rd question)), and to compile all the information I get through the media of digital journal.

(Research notes for Personal Project 13th & research notes 14th 15th)

There are two types of research journal:
- peer-reviewed
- kept by a researcher when researching
A research journal is a place to record a research process. A peer-reviewed research journal is where articles about a particular field are reviewed before being published and are presented in a concise manner, while a field research journal presents an insight to a particular research the researcher/author is doing.

????????????????????????????????????????????????

specifications of a good research journal:
    neat
    well organized
    easy to read
    understandable
(verified by ms terri’s interview via email (????????), internet research notes 14th 15th)

elements included in an entry:
▪    Description of the event/research, experience, new knowledge (most importantly date, & contextual information, such as time, location, participants, focus of study, and anything else)
▪    Feelings/reactions
▪    Analysis of the information: what can I do with this information?  What might I keep, use or bear in mind?  What might I disregard? this involves re-examining experience in the light of one's intent and existing knowledge etc. It also involves integrating this new knowledge into one's conceptual framework. (ibid: 26-31)
▪    Evaluation of the information (which ones are useful)
▪    Reflection on the information to the research process
▪    Action step/plan/new question developed

HOW ABOUT BIBLIOGRAPHY?

However, basically a research journal can include anything that will help the author to understand better on their research topic later when seen back
http://imet.csus.edu/imet9/250/docs/research_Journal.pdf, http://www.dacc.edu/library/OnlineModules/RschJrnl.htm

Should every entry follow the guideline/have the elements listed above? E.g. if I want to note a supervisor meeting which information I got is only a reminder to submit a certain task on a certain date, should I go through the guidelines of an entry just to write a note that says something is due on some date????????

How detailed should a research journal be? E.g. should there be a record of time taken to do a particular research in the entry?


written every time I do an activity related to my research, even at times when suddenly an idea comes to mind

how to arrange it:
    start by explaining about the research topic, question(s) to begin research, a list of keywords
  
    end by a final reflective summary (?),
(ms terri’s interview via email, http://kids.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=109699, research_journal.doc, liblog.rtf, http://www.dacc.edu/library/OnlineModules/RschJrnl.htm
