You will learn how to become conscious of telepathic experiences and how you can develop your telepathic ability for practical use in everyday life. Although some may consider telepathy a form of “psychic phenomenon,” this is not the truth. You do not have to be psychic to be telepathic. Telepathy is as common as speech, whether we realize it or not. It is our lack of understanding and awareness of telepathy that makes it seem like an uncommon experience.
Telepathy may be defined as the transfer of physical, emotional or mental energy, or a combination of these, from one living being to another without physical contact.
Telepathy may be differentiated into three types: physical, emotional and mental telepathy. True mental telepathy is the rarest form and physical telepathy is the most common. Although for the sake of discussion, I have differentiated telepathy into these three distinct types, there is really an overlap or blending of these. Usually, among the higher animals, one or more of these types will occur simultaneously during any transference of “telepathic” energy.
All of us are telepathic. Each of us have this ability developed to a greater or lesser degree. Some are more conscious of this ability than others. All of us have telepathic experiences nearly every day, usually without even realizing it.
Have you ever had the occasion to say “I was just thinking that” when someone was speaking? Or, has anyone ever said to you “You must be psychic. I was just thinking that”? Have you ever had the foreboding feeling that something was wrong, to discover later that someone in your family or a dear friend was in need of help? Have you ever been close to someone who was very nervous and found that you also become nervous? These types of experiences are usually telepathic in nature. For most of us, these experiences occur with someone who is close to us like a good friend, mate, lover, brother or sister, and especially one’s child. Let’s analyze what this marvel is.
The most common form of telepathy, physical telepathy, can be observed in nature where flocks of birds or schools of fish all act in unison. Although these animals respond to an external stimuli in like fashion, they also act under a common “will.” Each individual in the group act in harmony with the others. A guard dog who senses that an intruder is up to no good also exhibits a form of telepathy. We account for this by saying that the dog “smells” fear. This may or may not have a basis in truth. Consider the possibility that the sense of smell is in some way related to this form of telepathy. After all, smell is the most sensitive of our physical senses, and as we shall see, breathing is strongly linked to conscious telepathic ability.
These examples are a manifestation of “physical telepathy.” All forms of telepathy can be explained by analogy. Each living creature is like a living radio broadcast and receiving station. In cases of physical telepathy, when these living creatures are “tuned to the same channel,” they behave in like fashion. This also holds true for emotional telepathy, but in this instance, groups adhere and react to a common feeling. With mental telepathy, individuals within groups attach and react to thoughts which are common.
Just as we live in a sea of physical substance, simultaneously we also live in a sea of emotional and mental substance. When we pick up vibrations or �disturbances� in the physical medium through our five normal senses, we respond or react physically to these disturbances. Similarly, when a disturbance of an emotional or mental nature occurs, we react emotionally or mentally.
An experiment conducted by a group of Russian scientists on the transfer of telepathic energy proved that the nature of this energy is not within the boundaries of common science. In this experiment, a mother rabbit was separated from her babies and connected to an electronic instrument (EEG) to monitor her brain wave activity. The babies were taken aboard a submarine in the North Atlantic thousands of miles away from their mother and executed one at a time in deep water. Precisely at the time each baby was executed, the mother’s brainwave activity registered extreme agitation. Because normal radio waves are unable to travel through water from the deep ocean, the conclusion from this experiment was that this telepathic transfer of energy was not by means of electromagnetic radiation or “typical” radio waves. What is more important, this experiment also proved that telepathy is very real, even among species that are less evolved than humans.
Many experiments have been conducted at universities and private institutions throughout the world on human telepathic abilities. Many of these experiments were marginally successful, except among those few individuals who showed some exceptional natural ability for receiving another person’s thoughts. These experiments were typically conducted by placing the “receiver” in one room and the “transmitter” in another room. The transmitter looked at a picture of one of five geometric symbols (circle, square, triangle, rectangle and star) while the receiver wrote down their impressions of what was being transmitted. When five geometric figures are used, there is a one out of five chance that the receiver will get the answer correct, even by guessing. If the receiver gets a significantly higher percentage correct, this is an indication that the receiver has an above normal telepathic ability, or possibly that the sender is an extremely strong transmitter. Later, you will learn how this type of experiment can be enhanced to produce above normal results for most people.
Our use of telepathy begins soon after we are born, and it is our parents who begin teaching us how to use this natural ability. If we could remember our infancy, we would likely recall mommy or daddy looking over us in our crib, talking to us and smiling, trying to get a smile or some similar response. Parents of young children unconsciously achieve the initial telepathic contact with the child by mimicking the child’s noises (ga-ga, goo-goo, etc.) to elicit a physical response from the child. This interaction gets the child’s attention, and the child’s attention is on observing the thoughts and feelings being projected by the parents. It is during this early telepathic interaction that we first utilize our telepathic ability to receive thoughts and feelings.
Most of the words that mommy or daddy said were meaningless at first. As we became more adjusted to observing the sights and sounds around us, we also became more aware of the pictures and feelings that flowed through our inner vision when mommy or daddy spoke. As our awareness of the world about us improved, we then began to relate the words our parents were saying to the pictures and feelings we perceived in our minds eye. Many of these pictures and feelings were telepathic projections from our parents. We as children learned very quickly from our parents because the understanding was received telepathically.
The reciprocal flow of thoughts and feelings occurred when we wanted something, like to be fed, changed, or simply held. During infancy, we could not speak what we wanted, but rather expressed our desires without restraint in the form of vocal sounds, sometimes leading to uncontrollable physical reactions that our parents were compelled to respond to (crying, for example). Without being conscious of any telepathic communications, our parents felt our distress and usually reacted quite readily to our expressions of emotion or desire. Our parents could feel our feelings by way of telepathic communication. “Mother’s intuition” is a term commonly applied to this type of emotional telepathy.
As we began to relate the flow of pictures and feelings to the words mommy and daddy spoke, we began to develop a working knowledge of language. Words were learned easily because the understanding came before the pronunciation. We found that we could get what we wanted by simply saying a word or two, and it was quickly learned that the words would get a more favorable response from mommy and daddy than crying. When we became more dependent upon words to get what we wanted, our proficiency in using only emotion (or telepathy) began to wane. The important point here is that each of us as children understood the thought or emotion being projected by our parents before relating this to the word. The understanding was achieved by telepathy.
As we grew older and became “weaned” emotionally and mentally from mom and dad, and as painful experiences influenced us, we built defenses against mental and emotional projections from others. By the time we entered our teens, our defensive mechanisms often led to ignoring, arguing with or rejecting what others had to say. We also became more assertive as transmitters of telepathic energy and less receptive to the thoughts and feelings being projected “at” us by our parents. Simultaneously however, we also tended to open ourselves to the thoughts and emotions being “offered” to us by our peers and social environment.
Our conscious ability to communicate telepathically diminished as our ability to “listen” to thoughts and feelings was blocked or filtered by our natural defenses. In some respects, it is good to block or filter thoughts or feelings being projected at us. This is a natural protective mechanism. If, for some reason, we were unable to defend ourselves from the thoughts and feelings of others, we would be inundated and overwhelmed by thoughts and feelings from all directions. Needless to say, this would produce a very confusing and incapacitating state of mind.
If you will reflect on a recent argument you had with someone, you will realize that when you were speaking to them, you were most likely projecting thoughts and feelings at them. People will react defensively to this type of projection and put up a wall of mental and emotional defense. This reaction is a telepathic response to what is being projected. Understand, that to effectively communicate, one should realize that it is the telepathic transfer of energy that gets the idea across. This means that to effectively communicate, you must tune in to the listener’s wavelength (this will get their focussed attention), project the thought or feeling to them (not at them), then detach yourself from the action of projecting. Following this, turn on the receptive mode for a response.
Thoughts are like baseballs. Throwing a ball to someone will likely get them to throw the ball back, but throwing a ball at someone will probably lead to a fight and someone getting hurt! The key then, is to project thoughts and feelings to someone, not at them.
If you will reflect on your past learning experiences, you will find that the most significant things you learned was from a person, not a book. When a person is teaching, the understanding is conveyed by telepathy. An effective teacher, or speaker, is actually an efficient transmitter of clear thought and feeling. He or she understands, consciously or unconsciously, that they must capture your attention, project the thought or feeling, and then be receptive to your reactions. This three-step process is essential in all types of personal communication.
Many of us are unwitting victims of emotional or mental telepathy much of the time, being swayed by the news media, television, friends, or other transmitters of emotional or mental “waves.” How we are affected by these “waves” is dependent upon which emotional or mental “channel” we are attuned to. When a group of people get together for some purpose and begin transmitting the same emotions or thoughts, the effects are amplified. This results in a more powerful broadcast transmitter. Group prayer, when properly directed, is a wonderful example of the positive use of telepathic energy. On the other extreme, a group of people influenced by projections of negative thought or emotion can result in mass hysteria.
Projections of news through the printed and electronic media affects millions of people simultaneously. Depending upon the affinities of the individuals hearing this news, people become polarized, taking one side or the other on a particular issue. Each individual then gives strength to the thought or emotion that they have an affinity with, and in turn, this thought is more likely to strongly influence other people. This tendency of the media to polarize people leads to much conflict and wrong thinking in the world.
Unlike physical telepathy, emotional and mental telepathy is less subject to distance from the transmitter. Emotional and mental transmitters can affect receivers at great distances, even across the globe. This fact is of great value when one attempts to use telepathy in everyday life.
Everyone can improve their telepathic abilities. It just takes some practice and some awareness of how to effectively transmit and receive thoughts. There are several things one can do to make themselves better receptors and transmitters for thought. Maintaining good physical health is of great benefit, but sometimes telepathy also works well in times of stress when our emotions are being amplified. When practicing telepathy on a controlled basis, some degree of mental, emotional and physical discipline is absolutely necessary.
It is very important to control breathing when attempting to transmit or receive. Controlled breathing is a tool that gives power to thought by enabling one to control and direct thought and emotion. In the practice of practical telepathy, rhythmic breathing can be used to develop a “resonance” between body, mind and emotion. When the body, mind and emotions are all working in unison, the power of thought is amplified. Further, when a “resonance” is built between two people, the ability to transfer thought and emotion by telepathy is also amplified.
Presented below are a few exercises to perform that will improve telepathic ability. The first exercise is for protecting yourself from negative thoughts and emotions. This is extremely important. Once you become more sensitive to thoughts and feelings, you want to be selective. I call this exercise, Building the Shield of Light.”
The second exercise I call the “Disassociative Process.” This exercise is for modifying the mental and emotional defenses that you have built up through the years that obscure your natural telepathic ability. This exercise also works well to reduce stress, and may be used in meditation for those who are so inclined. The disassociative process will enable you to become more receptive to the thoughts being projected to you from another.
The third and final exercise is called “Synchronized Breathing.” As stated, controlled breathing gives power to thought. This exercise will enable you to “tune into” the person you wish to receive thoughts from and will make you a more powerful transmitter of thought.
First, a few words about why you want to do this before attempting the other exercises: The Shield of Light is a mental and emotional shield, or forcefield, that you can build around yourself with mental and emotional energy. The process of building this shield may be thought of as “light pumping.” The shield is qualified and given strength by the amount of thought and emotion or “feeling” you put into it. Its, purpose is to protect you from undesirable influences that might otherwise affect you when performing the following exercises. It will also serve to protect you during your daily business.
To become more telepathic, it is necessary for you to become more sensitive to the thoughts of others. You do not want to do this indiscriminately. Instead, you want to be selective to whose thoughts you will be receiving, and more generally, what kind of thoughts you will be receiving. You do not want to be subjected to negative thoughts or emotions that will cause you to build more defenses. The exception, of course, is if you are intending to gain an accurate insight into someone’s negative intentions. Then, you can then act appropriately to avert an undesirable situation. Your personal Shield of Light is designed by you to allow only truthful thoughts and emotions to enter. You will gain confidence in its effectiveness through practice and in observing how it works.
Controlled breathing properly gives power to thought energy. Through controlled breathing you will amplify the force of your Shield of Light to a level sufficient to protect you from negative thoughts and influences. It is a good idea to strengthen this field periodically throughout the day. Frequently thinking about the Shield of Light around you will increase it’s effectiveness. You will find that the Shield of Light will also help you make decisions more clearly and calmly because you will be protected from the influences of others.
1. When building the Shield of Light, find a quiet spot to sit and relax for about 20 minutes. Keep your feet flat on the ground and your hands in your lap, palms facing upward. Keep your spine straight and your head erect.
2. Exhale fully and completely through the nose. During the following steps, breathe regularly, deeply and slowly. Always inhale and exhale through the nose.
3. Next, inhale deeply through the nose and relax each portion of your body with successive breaths. Think about your feet while inhaling through your nose and visualize all tension flowing out from your feet into the earth as you exhale. Then, with the next breath, move your attention to the calves and imagine all tension flowing down and into the earth as you exhale again. With each breath, successively move your focus up to the thighs, hips, buttocks, back, stomach, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, head, and finally your face, relaxing each part with a complete breath.
4. Now that you are relaxed, inhale deeply and visualize the air you are breathing as consisting of white light, like sunlight. Breathe the light into your solar plexus area for temporary storage. Then, as you exhale, imagine the white light flowing from the solar plexus upward throught your spine and out from the top of your head. Visualize the light flowing like a fountain, flowing downward around you, through you, and surrounding you in a cylindrical shape around your whole body. “Pump” the light with your breathing. Visualize the energy in the air around you supporting your effort to create the shield. Visualize and “feel” the energy flowing into your shield with each exhalation. Visualize that with each breath, the effect is being amplified. Repeat this visualization and breath about 20 times or more.
As you perform this breathing and visualization exercise, mentally affirm to yourself that this shield will protect you from all negative thought and emotion. Only that which is truth or which will be good for you can exist within this shield. All other thoughts and emotions will be reflected back to their source as if the shield were a mirror to all unwanted thoughts and emotions. You should form this thought into an affirming statement. During each exhalation, repeat the phrase: I am surrounded and protected by the white Shield of Light. Only truth, and that which is good for me can exist within this shield. All other thoughts and emotions will be reflected back to their source.
A few final words on the creation of the Shield of Light: Qualifying the shield with the above affirmation will tend to prevent you from projecting ill feelings toward others. Instead, when you begin to project negative thoughts and feelings, they will be reflected back to you (the source), making you self conscious of this act. You can then take immediate corrective action and find a better way to deal with the situation. With practice, the shield will “take shape” and positively influence your actions in everyday life.
From a psychological perspective, performing the above exercise is a method of programming the subconscious mind. In programming your subconscious mind in this fashion, you are producing a mental and emotional filter which works when projecting thoughts and feelings as well as when receiving them. In a way, it works similar to self hypnosis, and in this respect, the wording of the affirmation is very important. The subconscious mind does not reason or interpret what we say. It merely carries out the actions it is programmed to do. If you program the subconscious with improper wording, the results may not be what you expect.
This process is used to get rid of, or modify, the defensive mechanisms which have been built up through the years. This exercise will also have the effect of reducing stress. Simply stated, this exercise involves sitting and watching the thoughts and feelings that flow through your minds, eye and detaching yourself from each of these thoughts or feelings.
All too often we attach ourselves to thoughts and emotions, identifying with them, and take “ownership” of them. We tend to do this even if the thoughts or emotions are not conducive to our personal health or growth. The key to succeeding in this exercise is to claim no ownership to any thoughts or feelings. Take the position of the observer. If you are in pain, for example, look at the pain, feel the pain, and mentally say that you are the observer of the pain. Do not say “I am in pain,” but rather say “there is the pain and I am the observer of this pain”. This mental perspective will dissociate you from the pain. The pain thus becomes separated from the “I,” and the “I” is free to pursue other more productive endeavors.
In this instance of attempting to develop telepathic ability, it is important to separate your own thoughts and emotions from those of others. How do you distinguish if the thought being perceived is truly a thought being projected from someone else, or from your own imagining? The only way to do this is to have a clear perception of the thoughts and feelings attached to you. If your thoughts and feelings are likely to cloud a clear vision, you must release them and no longer give them energy. Hence, the objective here is to release all thoughts and feelings that are not good for us. Also, since you don’t always know what is good for you and what is not, in this exercise you will release ALL thoughts and feelings. Because you have qualified the Shield of Light with a specific purpose, only the thoughts and emotions that are good for you will actually return and remain attached.
Bear in mind the changes that will occur from this exercise will take time. The thoughts and feeling which are prevalent in your conscious mind will change daily. Eventually, you want to reach into the subconscious mind and remove or recondition the obstacles and defenses there. Repetition is the key to success. But as you practice this exercise, you will find yourself calmer and more in control of situations that confront you. Separating yourself from negative feelings and thoughts will eventually become a habit. Controlled breathing will be used in this exercise also. Let’s get on with the exercise . . .
1. Perform the Shield of Light exercise above.
2. While you are still relaxed and have given the Shield of Light a fresh charge, relax and observe the feelings around you. Also, observe the thoughts prevalent in your consciousness. Continue breathing rhythmically.
3. As each feeling and thought presents itself to your conscious mind, affirm that this thought or feeling is not yours. You are the one observing the thought or emotion. Even do this with good thoughts and feelings. Affirm that you are the one watching and observing the thought or feeling. Inhale slowly and deliberately. As you exhale, blow out slowly through the mouth and “blow” the thought or feeling away from you. Imagine the thought or feeling drifting away from you. Let it go and pay attention to the next thought or feeling.
Pictures or memories may form in your minds, eye. Observe these also, recognize them as present, and then “blow” them away. Words are also likely to present themselves. Acknowledge the words as present and then “blow” them away as you exhale. Affirm that these words are not yours. Instead, you are the observer or listener of the words.
4. Perform this exercise for about 10 to 20 minutes a day. Finish the exercise by recharging the Shield of Light for three breaths.
You should also do this exercise during times of stress. Always recharge the Shield of Light before doing this exercise, and recharge it for three breaths afterwards. Affirm that only positive and truthful thoughts and emotions can exist within the shield.
Do not fear if you feel a kind of identity loss when performing this exercise. This is not uncommon and the effect is temporary. If fear does occur, simply open your eyes, focus on a nearby object, and mentally visualize the shield of light, asserting that no negative thoughts and feelings can exist within it’s boundaries. If the feeling of identity loss occurs without fear, simply go with the flow and continue the exercise, affirming that you are simply the observer of this feeling. In this manner you will have complete control of the situation.
This is the secret to successful telepathy. When two or more people are breathing to the same rhythm, their bodies, emotions and thoughts become attuned to the same vibration or frequency. This synchronization helps accurate telepathic communication. In the university experiments discussed earlier, had the subjects been instructed to breath to the same rhythm in a synchronized fashion, the rate of successful telepathic communications would have increased dramatically.
Before starting with the telepathy experiment detailed below, practice the above exercises for at least a week or two on a regular basis. The success rate will be much greater if you do this. For this experiment you will need a partner. The distance between yourself and your partner is not relavent. It will also help if you have your partner do the above exercises for a week or two as well. First, you will need to determine a comfortable breathing rate. Select a rate which is close to your natural breathing rate, but modified and controlled so that you will need to concentrate on the exact timing. In order to synchronize as perfectly as possible, you and your partner will each need a clock with a second hand that is set to the exact time. In this way, each of you can synchronize your breathing to the clock and be assured that you are in synchronization with each other.
Select a breathing rate such as follows: Inhale for 6 seconds, hold the breath for 2 seconds and then exhale for 6 seconds and hold for 1 second. Each complete breath cycle would then take 15 seconds, or four cycles per minute. If this is too slow for you, select a breathing pattern which is shorter yet still follows a similar pattern. Holding the breath is not imperative, but by doing this you are assured that the rhythm is unique, and it will tend to hold your concentration. This way you are not likely to tune into thoughts being broadcast by someone else. A slower rhythm will also tend to calm you, and this can be of benefit when receiving. It is suggested that you select a rhythm which begins and ends with the second hand of the clock on the twelve. That way if you get slightly out of synchronization, it will not take long to get back into the rhythm.
The next required item is a pad of paper and a writing tool to record the impressions of what you have received and what you will transmit. Decide what you want to transmit ahead of time and write it down. Select something that will be easy for you to concentrate on in the beginning. A favorite song, a phrase that you can repeat, or favorite scene are good choices to begin with, as these types of transmissions will be easy to concentrate on. You may select a variety of subjects for transmission to see what works best for you and your partner. For some, a picture will be easiest to send or receive. For others, a sound might produce better results. A feeling might work better for some people. You want to eventually determine what types of transmissions and receptions work best for you and your partner.
Before beginning this experiment, it is a good idea to reinforce your Shield of Light for a few breaths, perhaps 5 minutes or so. Preferably, your partner will also have performed the Shield of Light and Disassociative Process exercises before beginning this experiment. If not, he or she will not be fully protected and may not receive as accurately as possible.
Select a convenient and regular time to do this experiment. Perhaps you go to bed in the evening or prior to eating dinner. It is best not to try this experiment on a full stomach. Select a quiet spot to sit where you will not be disturbed when performing this experiment.
Each partner will take turns transmitting and receiving for two intervals. Each interval will be 5 minutes in duration. Decide ahead of time who will do the transmitting first. The other person will then be the designated receiver for that first 5 minute interval. At the end of the first 5 minutes, the person who was transmitting will switch to receptive mode for 5 minutes and the person who was receiving will transmit. This process will be repeated once for a total exercise time of 20 minutes..
When receiving, be sure to write down all impressions. Later on you will sort out what impressions were nonsense and what impressions were real. When transmitting, visualize sending the thought, sound, sight, etc. along a tube of light (like a white laser light) to your partner. Visualize your partner sitting down, breathing to the designated rhythm, and receiving your transmission.
1. Transmitter: Sit in a chair in a quiet location in front of the clock with your pen and paper in hand. Date the paper upon which you have written what you will send. Use the same paper to record what you will later receive. At the pre-designated time, begin the controlled breathing rhythm synchronous with the clock and begin transmitting the first thought. Visualize your partner sitting and breathing, ready to receive your transmission. Watch the clock to make sure your rhythm stays consistent and on time.
“Pump” energy into the thought with your breathing for the first two minutes. During the third minute, observe the thought flowing away from you towards it’s destination. Feed the thought energy with your breath and then let it go. Visualize your breath giving the thought energy for propulsion, speeding it upon it’s way through a tube of light to your partner. For the fourth and fifth minutes, pump energy into the tube of light that you have visualized. Visualize the tube of light as the communication channel to your partner. If your breathing falls out of the designated rhythm, write that fact down. Also write down any distractions.
Receiver: The receiver will first date the paper upon which he or she will record the impressions. Use the same page for writing what you have decided to transmit. The receiver will also breathe while watching the clock and write down his or her impressions during this first 5 minute period. If you fall out of the breathing rhythm, write that fact down. Also write down any distracting thoughts.
The receiver should visualize an incoming tube of white light. Visualize connecting with this tube of light, knowing that it is the channel for communication with your partner. Don�t feed the tube of white light energy. As the receiver, you do not want to project, you simply want to receive.
2. After the first 5 minute interval, the receiver will switch to transmitter. The person who was initially transmitting will switch to being the receiver and record his or her impressions for the next 5 minutes. Be sure to write all impressions down for later assessment.
3. After the second 5 minute interval, the partners will once again trade positions for the next 5 minutes.
4. For the last 5 minute interval, again trade positions as transmitter and receiver.
5. At the end of one week, make a copy of your notes which contain a record of what you have transmitted each day and what your impressions were while receiving. Send or give a copy of this record to your partner and have your partner send or give you a copy of what he or she has written down. In the beginning, do not do this before one week has expired. Later on, after achieving some measure of success, you may provide feedback to your partner on a more frequent basis.
6. You should continue this experiment for two or three weeks minimum, documenting all results.
7. Assess the results and modify the transmission types to transmit the single type of thought which seems to produce the best results. Also discuss the results with your partner and decide together how to modify the experiment for a higher success rate.
Assessing the Results
Given that the thoughts being transmitted in this exercise are purely random, the probability for any correct reception is practically zero. In the case of the university studies where one of five geometric symbols were used, there is a one in five chance for a correct answer, even by simple guessing. In this case however, where the possibilities thoughts are endless, the probability of guessing a correct answer is zero, for all practical purposes. Therefore, if you got even one answer correct, or possibly correct, you have done extremely well. Hopefully, you will have also proved to yourself that you do have a telepathic ability worth cultivating further.
In reviewing and assessing the results, try to analyze what conditions may have affected the processes of transmission and reception. Some questions you might ask yourself when reviewing the results are:
1. What types of transmissions worked best? Was it sounds, pictures, shapes, words, feelings, smells, sensations, etc. If you can determine what worked most effectively, use these types of transmissions during the second or third week.
2. Were the results exactly correct, or just possibly correct? Sometimes the receiver may get a vague or distorted impression of what was transmitted. This is encouraging and simply means that you both need more practice to get more precise results.
3. Were both you and your partner comfortable with the breathing rhythm selected? If one or both of you were not comfortable with the breathing rhythm, this could adversely affect the results. If this is the case, adjust the rhythm to be more comfortable between both of you.
4. Did either you or your partner have a prevailing thought which may have interfered with the transmission or reception? If this is the case, try using this prevailing thought as the subject of transmission. Also, use the disassociative process before beginning.
5. Can you determine who is better at receiving by reviewing the results? If so, the person weaker in this area should practice the disassociative process more regularly to improve.
6. Do either you or your partner have a problem concentrating while sending? If so, the persons weak in this area should practice strengthening the Shield of Light with “light pumping.” This exercise strengthens the ability to concentrate.
7. Were there any distractions while attempting to transmit or receive? How did these distractions affect the results?
8. Did any conditions exist which seemed to help? What were these conditions?
Some Other Experiments
As a more controlled experiment, you might consider using the set of 5 geometric symbols as subjects for transmission. Agree with your partner on doing this before proceeding. In this manner you can guage your success rate in quantitative terms. If two of five transmissions and receptions are correct, you have doubled the success rate over mere chance. If four or five symbols are correctly transmitted, you are doing extremely well and should really move on to more interesting subjects for transmission.
Some people are more receptive to “automatic writing.” You might try having the receiver open up to writing their impressions, while receiving, without conscious intervention. You may also experiment with having the receiver “reach out” mentally to try and ascertain your thoughts. For some, this approach may work better.
You may even try group telepathy experiments. Although this runs along the lines of a parlor trick, the effect is very much real. With the designated receiver not in the room, select an object, such as a specific book on a bookshelf. When the receiver enters the room, have the group think about directing the receiver to that selected object. Instruct the members of the group to “force” the receiver in the correct direction toward the object until the object is found. This type of demonstration requires that all members of the group be serious about the matter and avoid levity. The group must cooperate in the process in order for it to work properly.
If the results of your experiments are not positive, there may be a number of causes. It may be that the partner you have selected did not created a shield to protect against other thoughts. Or perhaps they did not disassociate from their own thoughts and feelings. You may want to have your partner practice the previous exercises for protection and disassociation before trying again. To assist the process, try projecting a shield of white light around your partner, protecting them against distractions, as part of the experiment.
You may want to work with another partner for two or three weeks. Some people will have better communication with certain types of people until the ability is well practiced. A more unlikely possibility is that your ability to transmit is not effective enough to penetrate through to the receiver. If you think this is possibly the case, practice the shield of light exercise regularly for two more weeks before trying again. You might also instruct the receiver to “reach out” mentally to read your thoughts while you are transmitting.
Distractions from the environment are often a cause for interrupting the flow of thought when attempting to concentrate for transmitting or receiving. This can lead to possible frustration. Instead of being distracted by the environment, use the distraction as a subject for transmission. For example, if you happen to be hungry and smell your dinner cooking, don�t be distracted by the smell. Instead, transmit the smell and hunger to your partner. If you hear a radio playing music nearby, rather than be distracted, focus on the sound and transmit it to your partner.
It may be of benefit here to present a summary of the results obtained when I performed this experiment with a friend of mine while I was in college. At the time this experiment was performed, neither my partner or myself had practiced the disassociative process before proceeding. My partner had not protected himself with a shield of light, but I had been doing this regularly for several years. My partner was located in Los Angeles, approximately 220 miles away. We transferred our documented results by mail. We practiced the experiment for two weeks only and found, to our amazement, that we had achieved a 75% success rate.
On one occasion, I transmitted a new song which had just been released by a famous rock and roll group. My partner had written down that this just wasn�t working because he couldn’t get this new song out of his head! On another occasion, while transmitting I felt that I was sending the thought into blackness. I later discovered that my partner had an unexpected dinner engagement and did not perform the experiment that evening. When my partner sent me a picture of fishing, I envisioned us on the stream by the beach near my home. As it turned out, this was exactly what he was contemplating. We had discussed a fishing trip previously, but had not set a date. He wanted very much to do this, and so he sent this desire to me in the form a picture of us fishing on the stream near the ocean. I sent him a picture of a scene in the high sierras, and he perceived being in the mountains.
Of the total 40 transmissions and receptions by both of us, 30 of these were definite positive indicators of telepathic communication. Another 2 transmissions appeared to be very close, but somewhat different than exactly what was transmitted. The remainder were complete misses, including the evening that he had the dinner engagement.
The eventual goal of these exercises and experiment is to become efficient in the use of telepathy in everyday life. As each of us improve in our telepathic ability, we will learn to apply this skill to everyday situations in a practical way. You might find yourself sending a message like “Don’t forget the milk” when your spouse has gone to the market. Or you might become more dependent on telepathy when making decisions at work. You may find yourself breathing to the same rhythm as your mate when attempting to resolve a problem in order to gain some insight into the way they feel or think. You might even learn the breathing patterns of your friends and family members so that you can “tune in” to them at any time. You might even help your children with their history assignments or mathematics problems using telepathy. The possibilities are endless. Eventually, you want to be able to convey useful information to your family, friends and associates, much the same in which you speak with them today. When this is achieved, the barriers that exist in using speech will no longer exist. The communication will convey understanding, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
As a race which has evolved much over the past few centuries, humans have lost the ability as a whole to use their innate ability to communicate using telepathy. Over the past few decades, however, individuals have had a renewed interest in telepathy. There are no textbooks on how to become telepathic, nor is it taught in schools. Scientists have studied it with limited measures of success. It is my hope that this little booklet will encourage individuals to experiment with telepathy and learn for themselves how to apply it to improve communication in their everyday life.
In practicing telepathic exercises we, as a race, are really taking charge of your own evolutionary process by conscious effort. It is certain that as we continue to evolve as a race, our ability to create and manipulate thoughts and feelings will continually improve. Telepathy is a natural outcome of this process.
The tools you will develop in practicing these exercises will also find value in other areas of your life. Telepathy is also the basis for healing and true prayer. As you learn to manipulate thought and emotional energy toward others, you will find that this energy, when properly qualified, can have positive effects on the receivers, mental, emotional and physical well being. You don’t have to be religious, spiritual, or believe in God for this to work. Simply practice manipulating the energy for constructive purposes and natural forces will do the rest. Good luck in your practice
Love and Stockholm Syndrome: The Mystery of Loving an Abuser
People are often amazed at their own psychological conditions and reactions. Those with depression are stunned when they remember they’ve thought of killing themselves. Patients recovering from severe psychiatric disturbances are often shocked as they remember their symptoms and behavior during the episode. A patient with Bipolar Disorder recently told me “I can’t believe I thought I could change the weather through mental telepathy!” A common reaction is “I can’t believe I did that!”
In clinical practice, some of the most surprised and shocked individuals are those who have been involved in controlling and abusive relationships. When the relationship ends, they offer comments such as “I know what he’s done to me, but I still love him”, “I don’t know why, but I want him back”, or “I know it sounds crazy, but I miss her”. Recently I’ve heard “This doesn’t make sense. He’s got a new girlfriend and he’s abusing her too…but I’m jealous!” Friends and relatives are even more amazed and shocked when they hear these comments or witness their loved one returning to an abusive relationship. While the situation doesn’t make sense from a social standpoint, does it make sense from a psychological viewpoint? The answer is – Yes!
On August 23rd, 1973 two machine-gun carrying criminals entered a bank in Stockholm, Sweden. Blasting their guns, one prison escapee named Jan-Erik Olsson announced to the terrified bank employees “The party has just begun!” The two bank robbers held four hostages, three women and one man, for the next 131 hours. The hostages were strapped with dynamite and held in a bank vault until finally rescued on August 28th.
After their rescue, the hostages exhibited a shocking attitude considering they were threatened, abused, and feared for their lives for over five days. In their media interviews, it was clear that they supported their captors and actually feared law enforcement personnel who came to their rescue. The hostages had begun to feel the captors were actually protecting them from the police. One woman later became engaged to one of the criminals and another developed a legal defense fund to aid in their criminal defense fees. Clearly, the hostages had “bonded” emotionally with their captors.
While the psychological condition in hostage situations became known as “Stockholm Syndrome” due to the publicity – the emotional “bonding” with captors was a familiar story in psychology. It had been recognized many years before and was found in studies of other hostage, prisoner, or abusive situations such as:
•Abused Children
•Battered/Abused Women
•Prisoners of War
•Cult Members
•Incest Victims
•Criminal Hostage Situations
•Concentration Camp Prisoners
•Controlling/Intimidating Relationships
In the final analysis, emotionally bonding with an abuser is actually a strategy for survival for victims of abuse and intimidation. The “Stockholm Syndrome” reaction in hostage and/or abuse situations is so well recognized at this time that police hostage negotiators no longer view it as unusual. In fact, it is often encouraged in crime situations as it improves the chances for survival of the hostages. On the down side, it also assures that the hostages experiencing “Stockholm Syndrome” will not be very cooperative during rescue or criminal prosecution. Local law enforcement personnel have long recognized this syndrome with battered women who fail to press charges, bail their battering husband/boyfriend out of jail, and even physically attack police officers when they arrive to rescue them from a violent assault.
Stockholm Syndrome (SS) can also be found in family, romantic, and interpersonal relationships. The abuser may be a husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, father or mother, or any other role in which the abuser is in a position of control or authority.
It’s important to understand the components of Stockholm Syndrome as they relate to abusive and controlling relationships. Once the syndrome is understood, it’s easier to understand why victims support, love, and even defend their abusers and controllers.
Every syndrome has symptoms or behaviors and Stockholm Syndrome is no exception. While a clear-cut list has not been established due to varying opinions by researchers and experts, several of these features will be present:
•Positive feelings by the victim toward the abuser/controller
•Negative feelings by the victim toward family, friends, or authorities trying to rescue/support them or win their release
•Support of the abuser’s reasons and behaviors
•Positive feelings by the abuser toward the victim
•Supportive behaviors by the victim, at times helping the abuser
•Inability to engage in behaviors that may assist in their release or detachment
Stockholm Syndrome doesn’t occur in every hostage or abusive situation. In another bank robbery involving hostages, after terrorizing patrons and employees for many hours, a police sharpshooter shot and wounded the terrorizing bank robber. After he hit the floor, two women picked him up and physically held him up to the window for another shot. As you can see, the length of time one is exposed to abuse/control and other factors are certainly involved.
It has been found that four situations or conditions are present that serve as a foundation for the development of Stockholm Syndrome. These four situations can be found in hostage, severe abuse, and abusive relationships:
•The presence of a perceived threat to one’s physical or psychological survival and the belief that the abuser would carry out the threat
•The presence of a perceived small kindness from the abuser to the victim
•Isolation from perspectives other than those of the abuser
•The perceived inability to escape the situation
By considering each situation we can understand how Stockholm Syndrome develops in romantic relationships as well as criminal/hostage situations. Looking at each situation:
Perceived threat to one’s physical/psychological survival
The perception of threat can be formed by direct, indirect, or witnessed methods. Criminal or antisocial partners can directly threaten your life or the life of friends and family. Their history of violence leads us to believe that the captor/controller will carry out the threat in a direct manner if we fail to comply with their demands. The abuser assures us that only our cooperation keeps our loved ones safe.
Indirectly, the abuser/controller offers subtle threats that you will never leave them or have another partner, reminding you that people in the past have paid dearly for not following their wishes. Hints are often offered such as “I know people who can make others disappear”. Indirect threats also come from the stories told by the abuser or controller – how they obtained revenge on those who have crossed them in the past. These stories of revenge are told to remind the victim that revenge is possible if they leave.
Witnessing violence or aggression is also a perceived threat. Witnessing a violent temper directed at a television set, others on the highway, or a third party clearly sends us the message that we could be the next target for violence. Witnessing the thoughts and attitudes of the abuser/controller is threatening and intimidating, knowing that we will be the target of those thoughts in the future.
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Weather often affects people’s moods. Sunlight breaking through clouds can lift our spirits, while a dull, rainy day may make us feel a little gloomy. While noticeable, these shifts in mood generally do not affect our ability to cope with daily life. Some people, however, are vulnerable to a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern. For them, the shortening days of late autumn are the beginning of a type of clinical depression that can last until spring. This condition is called “Seasonal Affective Disorder,” or SAD.
A mild form of SAD, often referred to as the “winter blues,” causes discomfort, but is not incapacitating. However, the term “winter blues” can be misleading; some people have a rarer form of SAD which is summer depression. This condition usually begins in late spring or early summer.
Awareness of this mental condition has existed for more than 150 years, but it was only recognised as a disorder in the early 1980s. Many people with SAD may not be aware that it exists or that help is available.
SAD can be a debilitating condition, preventing sufferers from functioning normally. It may affect their personal and professional lives, and seriously limit their potential. It is important to learn about the symptoms, and to know that there is treatment to help people with SAD live a productive life year-round.
What are the Symptoms?
SAD can be difficult to diagnose, since many of the symptoms are similar to those of other types of depression or bipolar disorder. Even physical conditions, such as thyroid problems, can look like depression. Generally, symptoms that recur for at least 2 consecutive winters, without any other explanation for the changes in mood and behaviour, indicate the presence of SAD. They may include:
Change in appetite, in particular a craving for sweet or starchy foods
Weight gain
Decreased energy
Fatigue
Tendency to oversleep
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Avoidance of social situations
Feelings of anxiety and despair
The symptoms of SAD generally disappear when spring arrives. For some people, this happens suddenly with a short time of heightened activity. For others, the effects of SAD gradually dissipate.
Symptoms of summer depression may include:
Poor appetite
Weight loss
Trouble sleeping
How is SAD Treated?
If you feel depressed for long periods during autumn and winter, if your sleep and appetite patterns change dramatically and you find yourself thinking about suicide, you should seek professional help, for example, from your family doctor. There is effective treatment for SAD. Even people with severe symptoms can get rapid relief once they begin treatment.
People with mild symptoms can benefit from spending more time outdoors during the day and by arranging their environments so that they receive maximum sunlight. Trim tree branches that block light, for example, and keep curtains open during the day. Move furniture so that you sit near a window. Installing skylights and adding lamps can also help.
Exercise relieves stress, builds energy and increases your mental and physical well-being. Build physical activity into your lifestyle before SAD symptoms take hold. If you exercise indoors, position yourself near a window. Make a habit of taking a daily noon-hour walk. The activity and increased exposure to natural light can raise your spirits.
A winter vacation in a sunny destination can also temporarily relieve SAD symptoms, although symptoms usually recur after return home. At home, work at resisting the carbohydrate and sleep cravings that come with SAD.
Many people with SAD respond well to exposure to bright, artificial light. “Light therapy,” involves sitting beside a special fluorescent light box for several minutes day. A health care professional should be consulted before beginning light therapy.
For people who are more severely affected by SAD, antidepressant medications are safe and effective in relieving symptoms. Counseling and therapy, especially short-term treatments such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, may also be helpful for winter depression.
Increasing your exposure to light, monitoring your diet, sleep patterns and exercise levels are important first steps. For those who are severely affected, devising a treatment plan with a health care professional consisting of light therapy, medication and cognitive-behavioural therapy may also be needed.
Definition: The raising of a body into the air without mechanical aid1 or the hallucinated sensation that one is floating on air, such as that which occurs in dreams2.
Magician, Doug Henning defines levitation as a “stabilized pure consciousness in activity, a result of perfect mind-body coordination,”3 but although shamans, yogis, and magicians have tried to reach that state for centuries, no successful attempt has ever been documented.
Still a favorite manifestation at séances and popular with stage magicians, levitation is a “mind over matter” idea that has mystified humans since before biblical times. Stephen Wagner, the paranormal guide at About.com speculates that perhaps the great blocks that make up the Egyptian pyramid and the great stones of other megaliths, such as Stonehenge, were placed through levitation4.
While the theory is interesting, there is no genuine evidence that anyone has ever levitated so much as a grain of sand. Even Levitation.Org, a site devoted to levitation admits there are but two kinds of levitation5:
1.The “real” kind where you meditate and supposedly levitate.
2.Levitation created through illusion.
The first kind of levitation was highly promoted in the 1970s by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He claimed that humans were able to levitate themselves through using Transcendental Meditation (TM). After offering a series of quite expensive TM courses, the Maharishi held a levitation exhibition in 1986 at the Capital Convention Center in Washington, DC. Although the Maharishi claimed to have 40,000 enrollees in his classes, just 22 of his students performed for the press. Although, spring like, the 22 bounced up and down upon mattresses, the assembly of over 100 journalists attributed their efforts to the buoyancy of the bedding and not the efforts of the students6.
Bilocation
Definition: The ability to be in two places at one time.
Pythagoras – the first bilocator?
Bilocation would certainly be a blessing to today’s multi-tasking society. Imagine being able to work at your job and spend time with your family at the same time or even having the ability to travel Europe and Australia during a single vacation fortnight. Yet, while many tales of bilocation have been passed down through history, most are subject to either faulty documentation or no documentation at all. Unfortunately, bilocation seems to be relegated to one of those gifts that are just “too good to be true”.
The scientist, Pythagoras was a legend in his own time. Some of his contemporaries believed he was the personification of the Greek god, Apollo. Among his many supposed supernatural gifts, Pythagoras was believed to possess the ability of bilocation.4
Sour Maria Coronel (1602-1665) was the abbess at a Franciscan convent in Agreda, Spain. Among the many religious phenomena she supposedly exhibited was her ability to transport herself to Mexico where she claimed to minister to the natives. Her “proof” of her bilocation was the decrease in her supply of rosaries, which she alleged that she had passed out among her Mexican converts.2
Believers credit several Roman Catholic Saints with the blessing of bilocation. Two of the most notable are St. Gerard Majella and St. Martin de Porres (1579-1639). The fellow friars of St. Martin de Porres related that when they would call out for him from their sickbeds, the Saint would appear to them and offer them consolation or medicines. Born in 1726, St. Gerard Majella was reported as tending the sick in more than one house at the same time during an outbreak of the plague.1 However, the position of Catholic philosophers is that although divine intervention could make bilocation possible, these beliefs were most probably the hallucinations or delusions of the delirious and critically ill.
Psychokinesis, a form of psi, meaning that apparently it is a
technique of mind over matter through invisible means. Examples of PK
are movements of objects, bending of metals, and determining the
outcome of events. It can occur spontaneously and deliberately which
indicates it is both an unconscious and conscious process.
History:
The term psychokinesis is derived from the Greek words psyche
meaning “breath,” “life,” or “soul,” and kinein meaning “to move.”
The occurrences of PK have been recorded since ancient times. The
occurrences include levitation, miraculous healings, luminosities,
apports, and other physical phenomena attributed to holy persons and
adepts of magic around the world. Such phenomena is recorded in the
Bible, especially in the New Testament, in the Book of Acts. One
example is cited in which St. Paul and Silas where imprisoned in
Ephesus where they prayed and sung hymns, and at midnight their
shackles fell off as the prison doors swung opened (Acts 16:19-40).
It is thought that possibly magic spells, curses, and rituals to
control the weather may involve PK. The use of the evil eye has been
placed within this classification.
Manifestations of PK have occurred in spiritualism such as alleged
materializations and dematerializations, apports, levitations, table-
tipping, raps, and the appearances of ectoplasm and pseudopods. One
19th century D. D. Holmes was known for his ability to levitate and
to handle hot coals without being burned. But, also during this time,
there were individuals known as “electric people” who experienced
a”high-voltage syndrome”. They made knives and forks cling to their
skin, and with a touch could send furniture flying across a room.
At the beginning of the 20th century Rudi Schneider, another medium
known for his PK ability of materialization and telekinesis of
objects, was studied by psychical researchers.
Twentieth century research:
Since the 1930s interest in PK has increased until it has created on
of the fastest growing fields of research in parapsychology. This is
particularly true within the Soviet Union and the United States.
However, results from clinical-controlled studies have been
contradictory. Some of the studies were attacked for the methodology
while others were accused of being tainted by fraud.
It can be stated that psychokinesis does occur, by the necessary
conditions and requirements for is occurrence Patterns have been
identified according to experimenters and subjects, but it is known
such patterns do not apply in all circumstances.
An American parapsychologist at Duke University in North Carolina, J.
B. Rhine began conducting PK experiments in 1934. Although he was not
the first to study PK, he did so after conducting ESP experiments
which yielded significant results. Rhine’s subject was a gambler who
claimed to be able to influence the fall of the dice to roll certain
numbers or number combinations. Early experimental data showed
results far beyond the probabilities of chance, but later testing
data yielded uneven results.
Rhine did not immediately publish his findings for several reasons:
PK suffered a dubious reputation at the time; he had occasionally
used himself as a subject; and his studies were very insignificantly
controlled. He finally published his findings when an assistant noted
that subjects scored significantly better at the dice in the early
part of the sessions than toward the end. This tendency attributed to
a decrease of interest on the part of the subjects had been observed
in ESP experiments too.
In the publication of his experiments Rhine reported that he observed
that PK does not seem connect with any physical process of the brain,
or to be subject to any of the mechanical laws of physics. Rather, it
does seem to be a nonphysical force of the mind which can act on
matter in statically measurably ways. The results produced cannot be
explained by physics.
Rhine further concluded that PK was similar to ESP in that both were
independent of space and time. ESP was a necessary part of the PK
process, and that one signifies the other. In order to exert an
influence over matter, such as tossed dice, ESP has to come into play
at a critical point in space, and at the right moment in time. Both
PK and ESP were influenced by drugs, hypnosis, and the subject’s stae
of mind.
Also, it was Rhine’s belief that faith healing and folk magic healing
were PK phenomena, in which a psychogenic effect, sometimes at a
distance, was exerted on the body.
Rhine’s research marked the beginning of a new era in PK
experimentation. Before 1940 most observations in PK occurred through
physical mediumship which was generally performed in dark settings of
seances. It was practical impossible to establish any scientific
control within such settings and there were many accusations of
fraud. Following Rhine’s work the experimentation of PK was divided
into two categories: macro-PK, or observable events; and, micro-PK,
weak or slight effects not observable to the naked eye and requiring
statistical evaluation. More emphasis was placed on micro-PK.
During the late 1960s a new method of testing micro-PK was developed
by the American physicist Helmut Schmidt. His apparatus known as
the “electronic coin flipper” operated on the random decay of
radioactive particles. As the decay occurs the particles or rays are
emitted at rates which are unaffected by temperature, pressure,
electricity, magnetism, or chemical change. Such a rate of emission
is completely unpredictable and cannot be manipulated by fraud.
In experiments subjects were asked to exert their mental energy to
influence on the flipping of the coins, so to attempt to make them
come up heads or tails so the bulbs on the apparatus would light up
in one direction or the other. Some subjects did successfully
influence the coin toss. The electronic coin flipper was the
prototype of random event generators, computerized techniques which
have since played a major role in both ESP and PK testing, and have
produced significant PK test results.
Schmidt was also interested in determining animal-PK. In tests animal
produced some positive results, but Schmidt found the interpretation
difficult. He theorized that the experimenter could influenced the
results by using his own PK upon the experimental subjects. His
theory has been proven accurate because this has been determined to
be an obstacle in all psi-testing of animals. It is virtually
impossible to tell which is exhibiting the PK ability, the animal or
researcher. Because of this obstacle little has been done in animal-
PK testing, but whenever such testing has occurred Schmidt’s
guidelines have been used.
Among the most notable macro-PK exhibits was what is now called
the “Geller Effect.” This was during the 1960′s when macro-PK
experiments became popular again. The Israeli psychic Uri Geller
amazed television audiences with his metal bending feats. These feats
were performed in a studio and not under controlled conditions. With
a few raps and some mental concentration the feats seemed to be
accomplished. Geller’s powers seemed to be so powerful that some
viewers said some of their household objects underwent similar
changes. But, Geller was unsuccessfully able to duplicate the feats
under laboratory conditions. Critics, mostly professional magicians,
claim Geller had used sleight-of-hand, although such claims went
unproved.
The Soviets revealed their most famous PK subject to the West in
1968. A housewife from Leningrad, Nina Kulagina, born in the mid-
1920s demonstrated her abilities to Western scientists who observed
the movements of many different sizes and types of stationary
objects; the altering of the course of objects already in motion; and
impressions on photographic film. She was also reported to have
exerted PK effect on the heart of a frog, which had been removed from
the animal. She first changed its rate of beating, and then
completely stopped it. Kulagina was photographed apparently
levitating objects.
Tests in both maco-PK and micro-PK have continued with increased
sophisticated methodology. Experimenters focused their attention on
psychics, mediums, and others who could apparently influence static
objects and materials. There were various experiments and results.
One subject Ingo Swann, a New York artist and psychic, could change
the temperature of object close to him by one degree; also, he could
affect the magnetic field of a magnetometer.
Other PK experiments have concerned animals and plants. Healers have
held wounded mice; and water to be applied to barely seeds. Both
showed impressive results. PK effects have been observed in micro-
organisms and enzymes. In some cases the effect is slight and might
not be replicated, but to researchers these results hold promise that
they may lead to further findings which will lead to further
knowledge about the healing process.
Associated with these types of experiments is what is known at
the “linger effect.” An example of this is when the subject has raise
or lowered the temperature and the temperature continues to rise or
fall for some time after the subject leaves. Water which has been
held by a healer which seemed to influence growth of plants allegedly
seems to influence their growth even after it has been boiled.
There are other types of PK which have been studied but are view with
a fair amount of skepticism. One of these types is activity of a
poltergeist. Such activity includes repeated, unexplained sounds,
breaking of china, or other mysterious activity in a house or small
area. There are well-authenticated reports describing flying rocks,
or heavy furniture moving when no person was found, or known to be at
the time at the point of origin of the activity.
Poltergeist activity is generally associated with children or
adolescents. One suggestion for this is that the activity is caused
from a strong repression of hostility. In the Middle Ages, the cause
was frequently thought to be the Devil, or a demon possessing a
person, but currently it is thought to be a manifestation of PK
activity.
Another type of PK activity is thought by those who experience it to
be associated with death, danger or other emotional crisis. In such
incidents persons reports falling pictures, clocks which stop, or
stopped clocks which start, and shattering of glasses. The persons
feels these incidents have indicated a death, or some highly
emotional crisis.
PK research is currently being done in the areas of meditation and
other altered states of consciousness. Experiments also are being
conducted to determine the existence of retroactive PK, or “retro-PK”
where subjects try to influence an event such as a sequence of
numbers as produced by a random event generator. The subjects try
after the event has happened. However, it is impossible to rule out
the possibility of the PK effect being unconsciously exerted by the
subject or the experimenter on the generator during the number
selection.
Although PK is not generally acknowledged by scientists, many
parapsychologists believe that well-controlled experiments have
established its existence. Thus far laboratory tests have not
established this exclusively. Results on the whole have been
insignificant. But, the greater potential, many believe, that PK
testing will open up wider capacities for mental ability. A.G.H.
The Use of SEXUAL ENERGY
At this point in time you are going thru a soul/spirit configuration
on your planet..
you are integrating the access points of your physical vehicle,
you are accessing that light of creation through your God self.
One of the easiest ways in which to accomplish the opening~
is thru sexual energy~
We have said that it is the birth of the Divine Child or the Second Coming. You are accessing the emotional memory of a 12 stranded DNA.
So as you enter into this vision of a New World, you are moving out of the holographic reality of a 3 dimensional reality. It is the end of perceiving time as you have experienced it – into timeless awareness.
You are accessing that system within you that is unification. It is unifying your soul and spirit as you move into the fourth dimension and then into the fifth dimension. That is the reality of the heart. You are in the process of joining the soul and spirit in the physical body into the spirit Realm.
In the past you have always identified yourselves through separation and duality. You have identified yourself as male or female, as separate from one another. You are no longer separate. You are now in a process of unification and Ascension.
You are moving the physical body energy system up to the heart and moving the spiritual down to the heart. The heart is the access to the soul. The seat of the soul is the solar plexus. So what this involves is looking at your life from the point of view of your personal power and your individuality. You are claiming your identity now as a soul/spirit being. You are starting to operate from a unified space.
So that means that will be looking at your sexual energy and your sexual identity. That is different from your sexual orientation and your sexual practices or behavior. Your sexual identity is what identifies you as “I am a man/woman” or “I am male/female.” That identity is your personal power as a male or female. In the past your sexual energy has ruled your planet, from the point of view of power and control.
Everything on your planet has been based on sexual attraction. You are influenced through this attraction. That means that you attach your sexual energy to the image of reality and the personality and the defense mechanisms of the ego shield.
Sexual gratification has always had to with the lower self. It has had to do with a survival system. So sexual gratification, coupled with your sexual orientation, is the means by which you have been trying to find your sexual identity. You will never find it that way. The only way that you will find your sexual identity is by accessing your loving and connecting it with your sexual energy or creative force.
So you must know what your sexual identity is through the expression of the soul and spirit, the expression of your personal power and individuality. The way in which you have been connecting with your sexual energy does not allow you to do that.
Everything that you are attracted to in your environment is connected to your sexual energy. Your sexual energy is connected to all of your other sensory systems – your hearing, your seeing, your sense of smell, taste and touch. It is connected to your nervous system and how you define reality. That is all connected to your sexual energy. So everything that you are attracted to is through one or another form of sexual energy. It keeps the species going and evolving, but it is also what keeps you in duality. It keeps you in duality because of the defense system and the power struggle. It has no love in it. It does not come from the heart.
You are actually finding your sexual identity for the first time. You are finding it through the heart and soul, through the expression of your truth and through your loving connected to your sexual energy. You are also connecting it through all of the seven chakras. So when you connect it through the heart, you are going to have one powerful orgasm. It will be an orgasm of total bliss. Every creative act that you go through at this time will be connected to integrating your sexual energy.
The way that you have used your sexual energy before will no longer work. You will not be gratified by it. You will feel empty and lost. People will be trying in their addictive nature and in the lower animal nature to satisfy the gratification of their desire. Because the sexual energy is being upstepped with the rest of your energy. The emotional body, connected to your sexual energy, is deepening by the opening of the heart.
you are all going around looking for someone to provide you with the feelings, looking for someone with whom to gratify your desires and for someone to make you feel powerful and give you an identity.
They cannot do this, as you cannot do it for them.
So you must be able to identify your nurturing trauma and how you connect.
Nobody can make you feel loved. Nobody can make you feel anything. It comes from you. All feelings come from you. You must choose how you feel. Your sexual energy that you have been endowed with is your creative life force. That life force is meant to be used through love. So you are all now going to be learning to develop your love with one another. You will learn to become friends with one another. There is a saying that friends make the best lovers. It is true. Because they have such a depth of connection. They are not looking to each other to provide the other with something that they don’t have. They honor each other and are attracted to the qualities and value of each other.
They love each other in their hearts. That is why they are friends.
Learn how to experience sexual union connected to your soul and spirit and the depth of your emotional bodies and the full power of your spiritual expression, your Divine Will and Passion.
Then and only then can you give birth to the Divine Child within yourselves. Then and only then can you be the expression of that Divine Child.
So the watch word of the day on your planet is “LOVE FIRST. SEX SECOND!”
remember to love one another in the full expression of your
true God reality.”
-Gabriel
Heading into a “3″ year
The grace and charm of a 3 Universal year like 2010 can be either a gift or a pitfall — this year it will undoubtedly be both, alternating at wildly unpredictable moments as numerology and astrology interact to create a high-octane potboiler.
We are pushed to transform the structures and beliefs we most fear to change by the continued challenging interaction of astrological heavyweights Pluto versus Saturn and Neptune versus Chiron, with expansive Jupiter stepping in to intensify the conflicts at key moments. Then, when Chinese New Year ushers in the additional drama and intensity of the Year of the Metal Tiger on February 14th, the brew of explosive energies will probably reach a boil.
Phew! Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters? Nope, the Universal 3 Year!
3 may seem an unlikely superhero, because 3 wants to be warm, gracious, creative and lighthearted. While people with 3 in their numerology can be very socially conscious, the pure essence of 3 does NOT want to deal with economic hardship, health care reform, terrorism or global warming … and yet 3 has just the gifts needed to take the optimistic, humanitarian visions of 2009 and package and market them so they’re pretty much irresistible to everyone – conservatives, liberals, militants, pacifists, ecologists, international corporations, competing national interests and religions, and Joe Citizen caught in the middle.
To learn about your opportunities in 2010, calculate your Destiny/Power/Life Path Number by adding the month, day and year of your birth. For example, August 6, 1952 = 8+6+1952 = 1966 = 22/4 (2+2=4). Here’s a thumbnail of how each of you can avoid the pitfalls and take advantage of this 3 year:
1 – You have the drive and ingenuity to get 3′s enticing ideas out to the world; then hire a 4 or 8 to keep those great ideas turning a profit for the next several decades.
2 – After your intense, inner-directed experiences of the past year you may have a little trouble keeping up with 3′s busy, extravagant spirit. But your job is to provide diplomatic glue that gets 3′s ideas to stick.
3 – The lure of the limelight may initially blind you to the needs of family, community and society, but once you realize that your service to them is an opportunity to shine as you never have before, you’re invincible!
4 – Early in the year it may feel like a very bumpy ride to someone who enjoys order as much as you do; but if you buckle up and stay on board you’ll find you’ve made a lot of progress by year’s end.
5 – You and your 3 friends and coworkers can either distract or empower each other with your mutual love of excitement and persuasive communication. Your best bet is to partner for maximum achievement.
6 – You are this year’s secret weapon! Your ability to create harmony and stabilize 3′s social genius allows you to help actualize ideals hatched in 2008 and 2009.
7 – You may have to be firm in protecting your privacy, but your clear, uncluttered intellect, coupled with communication skills to rival any 3, will make you invaluable to people who want to get things done.
8 – If you can put up with erratic schedules and (in your view) a 3 year’s tendency to have too many convivial coffee breaks, this 3 year will provide plenty of fuel for your drive to succeed.
9 – Your think-globally-act-locally values are the bridge between 3′s social and creative gifts and the universal tasks which this year’s astrology mandates. You are the coupling that unifies them.
11 – You’ll feel right at home with and creatively energized by the artistic self expression that is 3′s hallmark; get 1, 3 or 9 to help you make the most of your inspirations.
22 – If anyone can get the world to sit up, take notice of (and vote for!) 3′s ingenious presentation of social and economic visions and solutions, it’s you. Go for it!
All of us will accomplish more, and get more enjoyment out of this 3 Universal year, if we operate with two apparently opposing principles: “We are the world.” And “Lighten up!” The combination of humanitarian sensibilities and sociable, extroverted charm are the keys to this year’s magical opportunities.

Ruling Planet : Satrun
Ancient Roman astrologers claimed that the soul incarnated in Cancer, and learned the last of its spiritual lessons in Capricorn. The Chaldeans linked it with the fish-tailed goat, capricornus, who brought culture and civilization to the world. Traditionally destined to think deeply and rationally, capricorns are typically self-disicplined and stocial. Responsible and conscientious, they are nonetheless ambitious – especially when it comes to achieving material security.
Ruled by Satrun, planet of boundaries and restrictions, capricorns take a serious view of true love. They make poor flirts, but outstandingly loyal and loving long-termed partners. Although traditionally said to be dour and emotionally repressed, Capricorn is also senuous, earthy sign. Beneath that cautious, serious exterior they can be prfoundly sentimental and romantic. Like their opposite sign, Cancer, they find it difficult to express their emotions and appear cool and unfeeling to more open, volatile types.
Capricorn embodies the essential principles of Saturn, indicating that responsibility, sobriety and propriety are ingrained in their personality. During childhood, responsibility was placed upon them at an early age, ensuring that their perspective of responsibility was colored with strong emotions. These may have been discouraging experiences affecting Capricorn’s sense of self-esteem.. Responsibility would have been oppressive to a child but, through great inner stamina, Capricorn accepted these responsibilities and consequently learned a great deal about life, despite the depressive moods that are characteristic of Saturn’s influence.
Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the ‘pioneering’ signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.
Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting elevated standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan cautiously to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.
Capricorn’s stamina is strengthened by experience, making them strong and resolute. They are not easily swayed by the opinions of others for they already have their own definite opinions on various matters. Capricorn respects authority for the form and structure it gives society, but they prefer to bow to no greater authority than their own. Consequently, it is quite probable that Capricorn will hold a position of authority in life, in which the fruits of success will be the results of their own hard work. Because they are sincere, discreet and considerate, they have the respect of many other individuals. Just as the symbolic goat of Capricorn is adaptable to mountainous territory, so they too will persevere until they overcome any obstacle on their path to the pinnacle of achievement.
Tradition and status are also important to Capricorn because they provide stability in their life, as well as a motivation for working. However, because of their serious and methodical approach to life, they sometimes become caught in a rut. There are times when an innovative approach becomes the answer to those confounding problems. At times, they need to take a step back from problematic situations so they can see things more clearly. Capricorn must not be too hard on themselves as everyone needs a break, sometime, in order to wipe the cobwebs from the mind. Although, through adulthood Capricorn tends to have great physical stamina, this same aspect tends to expose them to hard work (usually self imposed) which then depletes their physical energy levels. Placing excessive strain on their physical body leaves Capricorn drained and vulnerable to colds, flu and infection and stress related problems connected to the heart and back. It is important for Capricorn to balance their life better so that they can still achieve their goals while maintaining a healthy body and outlook on life.
They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard. They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner emotions.

The term Spirit Guide generally makes reference to one or more entities who watch, teach, heal, and help you on your physical journey into spiritual awareness. They are above in higher frequency, while you experience the physical below.
Communication is generally telepathic, clairaudience, with archetypes and visual imagery, clairvoyance, observed during meditation, dream time, or just learning how to focus, look and listen to messages received. Some people call this method of connection, channeling. The more you practice, the easier it gets.
The number of spirit guides one has various within that person’s experiences. The strongest connection is with the aspect of your soul referred to as your Twin Flame – dual aspects of a soul, above and below, programmed to seek reunion to feel complete, oneness. The twin soul reference to ‘spirit guide’ remains with you until you rejoin when leaving the physical body.
Spirit guides can go by many names. Often they connect with more than one people at a time, using identities that are comfortable to those they communicate with.
Spirit guides may be viewed as any type of non-physical, perhaps an alien … however they are perceived.
Each guide generally comes to you for a specific purpose – creative abilities, healing issues, spiritual development, etc. A guide can save you during an accident, by entering your body or stopping time.
I have discovered that people who live in balance have humorous spirit guides and manifest positively in the physical, faster now than ever before, and in a healthy way.
Those with mental illnesses, even unrecognized, yet sensed, will attract negative experiences and blame it on their guides or dark forces. Not true in most cases. Guides … are there to do just that … guide you to the positive. If the voices in your head confuse you, place you in conflict, and drive you crazy, please seek professional help and get evaluated, especially if you deal with substance abuse.
To help get a point across, spirit guides work with you ‘above’ to create viable synchronicities that occur below. Synchronicities, in general, are experiences created by your soul to bring you into greater awareness.
