Developing Psychic Abilities

[oakspringer]

So I have been itching to write an article about how to develop psychic abilities.

I want to clarify first that its not because I think I'm this great psychic! or anything!

Its mostly because I feel I can give an account of what its like for a 'beginner' to go through the initial phases of development.

So I would like to know if anyone would be interested in participating in an experiment to develop some of these skills, as to the effectiveness of the techniques we can explore.

I would like to eventually publish a guide on my site, and offer it to the world as a how to, sort of thing.

So let me know if you would be interested!

Thanks,

Ben

I would, definitely.

[LittleFlame]

Sounds interesting, count me in!

[Old Soul]

Sounds fun... I'll help out

[Beloved]

ooh ooh pick me, pick me!

I'm the short one waving wildly in the back.

[poetrythug]

Sounds good. . .

I think I'm sort of right at the cusp, beginning to develop those abilities myself.

[Mato Kinze]

Sure, I'm game. Let me know when you get things rolling.

[AliB1959]

Can I participate too??? Sounds like fun! What do I need to do?

[Ramsus]

That sounds like loads of fun, I'd love to get in on that.

BTW: anyone out there own Zenner cards?

[oakspringer]

That's awesome. Thanks for all the replies!

I will muse a bit on some techniques I have been using and I will probably post a follow up here. All are welcome to participate, and we'll see what is most effective!

Thanks,

Ben

Ok so I keep getting inspired to talk about telepathy. Let's start with that.

This is how I understand telepathy.

Essentially we are all connected through a Universal Mind. This is also called the collective subconscious among other things, but essentially we all pull information from this 'mind' that we are all connected to.

I often find myself getting impressions of thoughts from other people, sometimes in words and sometimes in what I would call prethought.

Prethought is the energy that is thoughts before they are made into concepts like words. Or you could just call them intentions.

These types of intentions are a low form of communication. It could be someone sending you an I love you vibe, or someone sending you a not so nice vibe, but it is essentially something we are all familiar with. Sending and receiving vibes.

It is important to stress that telepathy, like psychic abilities are natural, innate. Meaning we already have these abilities. So I consider the process of regaining these skills as remembering how to do them. Its all a process of remembering.

So to become aware of prethought, merely become aware of a persons intentions and feelings towards you. Prethought feels like a burst of energy, directed at you, like a ping for a computer. Just a simple way of saying hello.

The next step is to become aware of the words that come into your head. Where do they all come from? While some of them may be your imagination or your mental chatter, you are constantly receiving words and phrases from other sources, namely people.

So merely notice and become aware of the words and phrases that pop into your mind.

To review:

Telepathy works because we are all connected to a Universal Mind.

A basic form of communication is energy vibrations, followed by prethought.

Notice any forms of prethought, energy vibration, followed by words and phrases that come into your head for the next few days that you think might be from other people.

And post your experiences here so we can hear about them!
