2098.0. " "True Psychics"" by ALLVAX::KEEFER () Wed Feb 07 1996 17:10

    i'm looking up psychics for the first time on the web today.
    the one below is about "true psychics".   besides the bad grammar,
    totally confusing to me is the line that says you should never tell
    someone else what they should do.  isn't the writer telling people
    what they should or shouldn't do?
    
    i sent them email about it.
    
    there's a picture on the page of a person i assume to be the joanne
    mentioned in the email address.  it looks like that woman in the tv
    show Private Benjamin, the witchy sergeant one.
    
    they say to contact them about their service, but don't say what
    their service is.  i guess you have to be psychic.

    We hear all the time the question, "What is a true psychic?" My
    response to that is: a person who helps to direct and to motivate an 
    individual, so that choosing the right path becomes easier.
    
    Not to tell a person that this or that is going to be, for we are all
    human, and no one psychic is right all of the time, so therefore a 
    psychic should never tell a person what or how they should do something, 
    but give them enough information to clarify the situations, and to show 
    them the possibilities and probabilities of the course of action taken... 
    or about to take in ones life, there is nothing magical or supernatural 
    about this psychic world, although others may make it seem so, and I 
    feel they do so in order to have control, or to feel more important
    thatn the next person.

    is that right?   it seems we're only partly true psychics because 
    we're but a part of god, but children, reflections.  only god can
    be truly true.   
    
    truly true, partly true, partly false  (fully false?  not possible)

    ??  I believe everyone has the ability to be or become psychic. It's
    how open ones mind is capable of being. A person needs to learn how to
    control the unconscience and use it. The average person only uses,
    what? 1/4 of our brain?
    	You can be taught how to leviate objects with "psychic" power. You
    can be taught how to control and direct your dreams.
    
    	It's all in the mind of the beholder, and we all ehold the power.

	i disagree. i don't think it's about control. it's about allowing.

    what about both?   i've met a number of practicing "psychics" who were
    extremely controling people and seemed to approach everything in a
    controling way, and then met others who were, on the contrary, very 
    allowing people (and maybe some who seemed to subscribe to a little of 
    both approaches).
    
    i agree; it's good not to feel limited.  but i wonder about the brain 
    thing.  if no one is using the full capacity of his brain, then who 
    is it who has the ability to measure what the full capacity is?   i'm 
    uncertain whether measurements of electrical impulses and of movements 
    of cell juices says all there is to say about brain activity.       
2098.8consciousness researchTNPUBS::PAINTERPlanet CrayonMon Feb 12 1996 19:3725
    
    I was talking briefly with former Astronaut Edgar Mitchell last year,
    and he has been doing consciousness research for the last 20 years or
    so since his moonwalk.
    
    He said that when you get the 'left' and 'right' brain working
    together, you have access to all the things we think of as 'psychic',
    because it's all 'out there', and we just have to work at developing the
    capability to access it.  The brain is an incredible thing, and we only
    use just a small fraction of its capabilities.
    
    Meditation can facilitate this process of getting the brain hemispheres
    working together, but the problem with meditation is that it often takes 
    a very long time.  There are now techniques out that will shorten this 
    time considerably.  He was working on using high-tech to make the 
    techniques easy to use.  Apparently there are manual ones taught by a 
    company called Subliminal Dynamics, however it takes discipline to keep 
    at it.  However they do work.
    
    About this time last year, he was working on a book to talk about his
    research...it may be published by now.  May be worth a call to a
    bookstore to see if it is out and available.

    	Do you know the title of the book? 
    
    	I agree, allowing your self to open your mind. I think one must
    first allow oneself to become open, and then learn the controlling
    part. Anyone know of any really good books on this? I love to read this
    stuff...the non-fiction.

    No, unfortunately I don't, Katy.  I still have to check to see if
    it's been published.  When I spoke with him a year ago, he was actively
    working with an editor at that time.  So whether it's finished and
    available, I don't know.

    If we only 1/4th of our brain, it might be a good Idea to share it with
    3 others ;)
