7.4 - Keeping Track
As stated earlier, most psychic readings are in reference to an objective actual event, so there must be a correlation between what is happening inside the mind to outside the mind. Did it work? Did it turn out as you saw? What was different between what you saw and the actuality, etc.? It may be helpful to categorize the successes or apparent successes.
I first categorize the probability of whether an experience was a success or not. Is there a true relation between what was happening in my mind and what is happening outside of my mind? Eventually I saw that more than one category was needed, so I expanded to use the following categories:
Possible is a category where there may be a relationship between what is happening in my mind and what is happening outside of my mind. This is the category of coincidence.33
Probable is a category where coincidence is not entirely ruled out; there is still no absolute confirmation of a psychic event. I perceive my reasoning may play an important part in this category. This is especially true when I am doing any ESP exercise that involves immediate perception of an external (objective) event.
Most Probable is a category where I am almost positive that a relationship of some sort exists between an external event and my mind/matrix. Still, I am not sure.
Definite is when something inside my mind occurrs at the same time something happens in actual reality. There is a direct one-to-one movement. With some exercises, I can actually feel something coming in or leaving me. This is especially true when I am working with magic.
And if it isn't, it's imagination?
It tends to be imagination or projection. The subjective and objective actual events must correlate, be it telepathy, clairvoyance, the use of the mind to manipulate clouds, or whatever.
The student cannot hurt this process by asking questions of what is happening. Remember: Honest questioning also involves questioning the perceptions of the questions. Because the student should have as an open mind as possible, they must be aware of the perceptions involved with their questions.
Where am I coming from when I am looking at this, and making these questions? What are my motivations? What perceptions formed these questions that I am questioning with? This is only fair. If we are going to question the phenomena, we must question the questions also, and do it dispassionately. Observe any answers that come to us.
You can look at this like the jigsaw puzzle analogy. You are trying to put together the jigsaw puzzle that is yourself. What is the whole picture that is you? When you find a piece, recognize its characteristics. If you do not know where the piece goes, set it aside.
After a while, like a jigsaw puzzle, you will see relationships between the pieces you have accumulated. Some will fit together, while some pieces only appear to fit together. With perseverance, a picture that is you and the universe will start to emerge. Then it will be more apparent where each future piece goes. In this way, you can observe not only your mechanics but also the phenomena's.
As stated in the beginning of this chapter, psychic phenomenon tends to be a side effect of still mind exercises. When an individual starts emptying their human mind/matrix and being still, that situation starts creating its own scenario. The Eternal Mind will come through, with the needed information. The student can do all kinds of exercises to facilitate the psychic within (like constructing an image of a flower). In the end, they do not have to do those kinds of exercises.
If they do internal disciplines involving stillness of being,34 and start expanding their mental perceptions to see the whole, they end up being psychic no matter what. Once the student starts stilling the mind, ESP automatically starts to occur. The more the operator has a still mind, the stronger the tendency of the ESP information to appear as intuition, and not as a perception or feeling.
When you first start to do some of these exercises you may experience a fear to enter your mind, a fear of a void. Nothing. You know, that you would just drop into a black hole somewhere. But, the truth is, when an individual empties their mind, then they will be filled.
Yes. It's emptying your mind first. You can't fill a full cup, so you have to empty the cup before the cup can be filled from the One Mind.
Right. Nature abhors a void and fills it with herself, or you will fill it.35 There will never be a void. God fills all voids. All of those previous exercises are like emptying a cup, and then the cup will be filled with other stuff. Psychic phenomena will come as a side effect of doing the emptying.
As mentioned earlier, where and how ESP comes is dependent on the individual's programming of their personal matrix. If they tend to be sensory orientated, it will tend to come as one of their favorite senses, a sense that they really like.
I can remember you talking once about people smelling; you sensed people by how they smelled. I talked about how I used to sense people by their not tasting right. They tasted different. Also, a person can perceive it as a sight, a feeling, etc. Once the student starts doing empty mind exercises, the first two forms of psychic manifestation will tend to come through their favorite feelings or senses that they have already programmed into the matrix. This, by the way, is Love at work. It tends not to do something totally alien. Love is using a construct the individual has setup, to speak through.
And the one that's most fulfilling?
Yes, because it is in sync with your established perception system. Most people do not get knocked off their ass on the way to Damascus.36 Even though that will occur, if that is what it takes for you to grow in God.
As well as the first two forms of ESP (1 and 2), the intuition method of reception (3) will also automatically start coming to you. The more you start emptying the mind -- because there is no perceptions, thoughts, or your own programming in the way-- the higher form, intuition, will eventually emerge predominant.
With practice, the non-intuition types of ESP -- will be sublimated. The more an individual starts working with the One Mind, the more they work with intuition.
33 This was before I found out that there is no coincidence. Absolute Love does not allow it.
34 Some of the exercises I have gone through in the previous chapters, the mantras and the breath and the others, are an example of the type of exercises I am referring to.
