2098.0. " "True Psychics"" by ALLVAX::KEEFER () Wed Feb 07 1996 14:10

    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.

	true phychic=God.

	there's God in all of us.

	therefor, we are all true psychics :-) -Kevin [End of buffer]
2098.4	i don't know	ALLVAX::KEEFER		`Thu Feb 08 1996 16:21`	5
	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)
2098.5		STRATA::BARROWS		`Sat Feb 10 1996 11:56`	8
	?? 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.

	> A person needs to learn how to control the unconscience and use it. i disagree. i don't think it's about control. it's about allowing. Jay
2098.7		ALLVAX::KEEFER		`Mon Feb 12 1996 15:37`	11
	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.
2098.8	consciousness research	TNPUBS::PAINTER	Planet Crayon	`Mon Feb 12 1996 16:37`	25
	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. Cindy
2098.9		STRATA::BARROWS		`Thu Feb 15 1996 19:52`	8
	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. Katy
2098.10		TNPUBS::PAINTER	Planet Crayon	`Fri Feb 16 1996 11:36`	7
	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. Cindy
2098.11	book title	RDVAX::ANDREWS	i just learn kinda slow	`Fri Feb 23 1996 10:43`	9
	i can't say for certain that this is the title but Edgar Mitchell does have a book that was recently published. it's..."The way of the explorer" Putnam..1996 0399141618 peter
2098.12		TNPUBS::PAINTER	Planet Crayon	`Fri Feb 23 1996 10:52`	4
	Thanks Peter! Cindy
2098.13	brain-sharing	JGO::POMMEREN	Martijn van Pommeren@JGO	`Thu Jul 25 1996 08:43`	2
	If we only 1/4th of our brain, it might be a good Idea to share it with 3 others ;)
