1848.0. "Automatic Writing ????" by SALEM::CURLEY () Wed Jun 02 1993 15:08

    
    Hi,
    
    I've gotta quick question for all you people out there. Does anyone
    have any info on automatic writing? I went to a channel reader and
    they told me I have the ability to do it. Hum... They said just start
    writing again and it will come. I guess I'm kinda scared to start I
    don't know what will happen if anything.
    
    PS. For all of you have shared your experiences in this notes file
        Thanks I've learned alot!

Hey Charlene, if you try this and can manage to channel Dave Cutler,
I've got about 4,000 lines of code I need to get written by the end of
August :-).
1848.2Like OuijaCADSYS::COOPERTopher CooperWed Jun 02 1993 17:1910
    Automatic writing is very similar to Ouija board, except fewer people
    can do it (though some "graduate" to automatic writing from the Ouija),
    and the communication is more efficient.  In fact, the "planchette" of
    the Ouija was developed from an almost identical device containing a
    pen or pencil used for automatic writing.

    Read the warnings under Ouija, then decide if you want to go ahead, and
    what "precautions" you wish to make.

    Automatic writing is like any other channeling activity. I experimented
    with it a few months ago and I was successful but it wasn't the right
    approach for me. I know a woman who does automatic writing and the
    information just flows. You ask for your guides or the entities with
    the highest/purest motives and everything will be fine.

My mother used to be able to do automatic writing - was VERY into it actually. 
She had notebooks full of conversations with three little girls that had died 
in an auto-accident, each of their handwritings were different and only one of 
them knew cursive, the rest was in elementary-style lettering with some of the 
letters backwards and words spelled wrong, etc.  (weird) 

They eventually gave way to a guide.  My mother used to do this quite often, 
I was rarely, if ever, allowed to be there when she did.  But I did sneak peeks 
at the notebooks.  Then something bad was written or something bad happened and
my mom put everything away where i couldn't find it and she didn't do it any-
more. 

A few years later, she became a born-again christian and burned those notebooks, 
her tarot cards, the ouji board and all of her related books.
1848.5Ghost Writing?GLDOA::TREBILCOTTI can't believe it's only WednesdayMon Oct 25 1993 16:312
    Is Automatic writing the same as Ghost writing?
    
1848.6Auto writing is okay....CSC32::D_ROYERChi beve birra campa cent'anni.Mon Oct 25 1993 17:4412
    Automatic writing is where you let your control go... like in a trance
    and .... your hand is controlled by something else, and a message is 
    left.  
    
    My wife has done that.  I observed, it was strange, better or worse
    handwriting.  It never looked like hers.
    
    I do not know about Ghost Writing, except when you tell a story to a
    writer and they write it in the proper terms.

    I thought ghost writing was people from the dead writing through you...

    re: .4,
    
    That's actually fairly tame compared to some of the cases of
    automatic writing, where people write in languages and about subjects they 
    don't even normally understand or remember learning about.  Fascinating
    stuff.  I've heard it claimed that almost anyone has the potential
    for this, and even that simple mindless doodling is a 'low-end' example 
    of the same phenomenon.   I'm not sure I buy that completely.
    
    I've often wondered if the capacity for the more elaborate occurrances
    of automatic writing is related to that of some people for exhibiting 
    multiple personalities under hypnosis ?
