Psychics of Biblical Proportions (Saints & Haints, Chapter 20)

As the group and I began studying The Gospel of John, we inadvertently deciphered a deeper meaning within the scripture.
Chapter 20
Psychics of Biblical Proportions
“More souls of the dead from Purgatory
than of the living climb this mountain
to attend my Masses
and seek my prayers.”
-Saint Padre Pio
I am not the first person to read scripture alongside demons, nor the first to realize that Purgatory is right here. Reading scripture with demons was never my intention, but it happened all the same. As I began reading John, I noticed that quite a congregation had gathered there on my back porch. They were the nicer-seeming demons, and they wanted to read it along with me, and to help me solve the mystery.
John 8:32, King James Version
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
I will say that we found a lot that was of special interest to us in John. I was reading with new eyes; with a new understanding. Parts of the scripture jumped out at me; hit me that certain way. I had epiphany after epiphany. I saw deeper into it than I ever had before; and most of the new interpretations I was perceiving were the direct result of knowing way more than a living person should about spirits and psychic abilities. I will explain here some of what we found.
There is evidence which points to amazing psychic abilities being utilized by the Ancient Jews. Most of it is very subtle, and I would definitely not have noticed it before I experienced these abilities. Take this passage for example; this is after Jesus fed the 5,000, and then went up the mountain, while the disciples got on a boat and went to Capernaum:
John 6:23-24, King James Version
"The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone... When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus."
The next day, the people who had been at the feast (the day before) came back to the site. They saw (right then) that there had only been one boat there (the night before) and they saw (right then) that Jesus had not gotten on that boat (the night before) They didn't see Jesus, though; so, again, how did they see, the next day, what he had not done the day before? And furthermore, how, since He was not present, were they able to determine that He was also in Capernaum, although He had not gone along with His disciples? This sounds like a psychic vision to me. It's definitely more than an observation. They could've gone there the next day and seen, as in, observed, that everyone was gone; but they couldn't have seen where they went, or who went and who didn't, or that there had only been one boat there the night before.
Another thing I noticed is that it seems that a lot of the people mentioned in John had a "psychic twin," or something like that; at least one other person with whom they shared an especially close mental connection. As it's written, these would appear to be examples of "psychic ability" as opposed to "mediumship," because the other people they're mentally connected with are other living people... well, it seems so, at least. For example, in this passage, Mary and Martha, sisters of Lazarus, are awaiting Jesus' arrival, after Lazarus' death. Martha goes on ahead to meet Jesus on the road, leaving Mary at home, where a group of their neighbors have gathered to mourn Lazarus.
John 11:28-31, King James Version
"And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there."
Martha was not in the house, so we presume that she must have literally walked down the road to meet Jesus. Still, she "called to her sister secretly," and then Mary got up and went out of the house. There is no other way this could possibly be explained besides that the two of them had a telepathic connection. Martha did not call out loud to Mary, nor did she come back into the house, because those visiting neighbors didn't know where Mary was going when she got up and left; they assumed that she was going to the tomb to weep.
Another possible example of this sort of thing, something that struck me anyway, upon reading it this time, is the scene in chapter 2, at the wedding at Cana, when Mary asks Jesus to do something about the wine shortage. He tells her that his time has not come yet; and she turns around and tells the servants to do whatever He says. In other words, He said no; and then she told the servants, "He's gonna do it." Some people chuckle at this story, reading it as an example of a son being "voluntold" by his mother to do something. Honestly, I love that interpretation, and it may have only been that. Still, I will suggest that perhaps there's a missing portion of that conversation; perhaps a portion which was transmitted telepathically.
John 12:47-48, King James Version
"And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
Some of my demons had told me, when I first asked them, that they were past redemption. They said that they were given a chance to go to Heaven when they died, but they said no, so here they remained. As a result of the intensive soul-searching I've been forced to do in the past few years, I had begun to suspect that they might be given another chance; because, if not, what would be the point of leaving them here? I had already theorized that "Hell," as in a fiery place of punishment, as most people think of it, must not be open yet for human souls; because if it was, and these guys were damned already, then why not go ahead and send them there, instead of leaving them here to torment the rest of us? Ever since I'd become Catholic, I'd been haunted by the assertion in both the Nicene Creed, and the Apostle's Creed, that
"Jesus Christ will come forth to judge the living and the dead."
Um... what dead? It would have to be these guys, I imagined.
It seems that neither Catholics nor Protestants believe that there are supposed to be any of the dead walking around on Earth. Catholics seem to think they're all already up, down, or in Purgatory, which they seem to understand as a place in Heaven somewhere, not here. Protestants, for the most part, not believing in Purgatory, seem to believe that the dead have already gone up or down; although, some believe that they are sleeping in the ground, only to be risen up on the last day.
I already had plenty of evidence that some of the deceased, at least, are in Heaven, because they are simply not here. I have many deceased loved ones, and if they could stop by for a visit, or have verbatim conversations with me, like my demons do, I am convinced that they would; especially since I've become a medium, and especially since I've had so much trouble with the spirit world. Therefore, I had formed the opinion that the earthbound spirits on this planet must still be salvageable, and are being given some time to change their minds. I think the Apostles must've understood this, but it's been either forgotten or intentionally covered up since then.
The passage above, from John 12, seemed to prove my theory. As soon as I read it, I commented,
"I think that does mean that you will get another chance, on Judgment Day. That may be the closest thing to scriptural proof we'll find."
The demons who had been reading with me seemed to agree; and seemed to be holding something back at the same time.
"Wait a minute..." I said to them, as something else occurred to me. I wasn't entirely convinced that I could trust them, but I needed their input. I asked them,
"Will you tell me the truth?"
They said that since I had been so good to them, they would tell me the truth as much as possible. So I asked,
"Okay. Based on my assessment, there would be at least 2,000 years worth of ghosts wandering around; everyone who didn't accept Jesus, who has died since Him. Where are they? Because, I don't think there are quite that many of you. And why have I never encountered a really old spirit? You all seem recent, modern, around my age. Even here, wouldn't there be Native Americans, and 250 years worth of settlers? Where did they all go? Were they all Christians?"
In response, one from my group said,
"You know, that is a good point."
They seemed to be pondering something; and, again, to be holding something back.
"Well, what is the oldest ghost you've ever encountered?" I asked them. I sensed hesitation. I felt that they weren't sure if they should give me that information. When one finally answered, he said slowly,
"About 75 years old."
I wasn't sure if he meant 75 years old, or 75 years a spirit, but it didn't make much difference, in the context of this conversation.
"Okay!" I said. "So? What happened to the older ones? They must've gone up or down somehow, right? I'm betting on up."
They seemed to still be pondering. Finally, one of them replied,
"They might send a boat every once in a while..."
Then one said,
"Alright, look. This ain't entirely new information to us..."
After a pause, he went on,
"When we died, a shiny, luminous individual --one you may have had encounters with yourself-- invited us to join Jesus' Kingdom. And this demon said, 'I am not ready to accept that invitation at this time.'"
I asked,
"Well? Then... what did he say?"
The demon replied,
"He said, 'Then you will wait a long time.' And he left us here."
I said,
"Okay, but maybe you don't have to wait until Judgment Day. Have you asked them to come back for you?"
They replied,
"Your letter of recommendation might help."
Later on that night, I snapped a picture of my two cats, simply because they were sitting together looking cute, as if they were posing. When I looked at the picture on my phone, however, I noticed something in the glass front of this cabinet in the background:
John 8:32, King James Version
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

I could feel my demon companions watching as I zoomed in and examined their portraits. They said,
"We wanted you to see our little faces."
I replied,
"That's sweet of you. What is that you're giving me? A book?"
They answered,
"It's a Bible... that Satan wrote."
