THE MAIN CHARGING PHASE

The next phase for charging psychic energy is the main charging phase. During this phase, we’re now going to try to charge for longer intervals than just 10 seconds. Now because subconscious entropy is so incredibly high for psychic energy, we must take care not to charge for too a long a time during this charging session. Now normally your main charging sessions can be as long as you want them to be and don’t necessarily have a limit to them in terms of time. However, they still favor relatively short and intermittent intervals of time. This favoring of intermittency is especially true when it comes to psychic energy. Because negative memory can build up so fast during the main charging phase, it can actually accumulate fast enough to essentially block your main charging capability altogether. This is where pre-charging becomes so helpful and so important in properly charging psychic energy. The positive memory you build up during the pre-charge phase helps to counteract the negative memory that builds during the main charging phase. In a sense, it gives you some leeway to continue building positive memory during the main charging phase before negative memory catches up with you and essentially stops you from building more positive memory. If we were to try to build psychic energy by skipping to the main charging phase first, without pre-charging, then you probably wouldn’t be able to charge much psychic energy at all due to how fast negative memory builds up during this phase. This is part of what causes most people to fail in successfully accessing their psychic abilities.

          Now although pre-charging will give you some leeway in terms of timing, this also doesn’t mean that you can just go on main charging forever. After you’ve pre-charged psychic energy for about a day or so and feel that you’re ready to move on to the main charging phase, I recommend to main charge for only about 20 – 30 seconds or so initially. Again this is because of just how fast negative memory accumulates during the main charging phase. After about an hour, you can then main charge again and keep repeating this process. As long as you charge in this timing scheme, then you can continue to keep building up psychic energy. And as your psychic energy charges more and more, you may have more and more leeway to main charge for longer and longer intervals of time without building significant amounts of negative memory while doing so. That being said, let’s now talk about the actual story that you would you tell during this phase. Recall that during the main charging phase, you will want to both hold an intention until you enter a transcendental state and tell a story of some kind as you do. You will also need to learn what kind of stories help to charge your subconscious at a particular frequency or for a particular purpose. But then what kind of stories help to charge psychic energy?

          Well, in my experience, highly affirmational stories are best. These are stories that stimulate your subconscious instinct to strongly believe that you’re sensing the target. For example if you’re attempting to sense a picture that is hidden from you, you would tell a story in your mind that is highly motivational and makes you feel strongly convinced that you’re seeing the target in the present moment. You would also keep looping your story around into this same kind of scene over and over again to make your charge more and more intense. As you keep main charging in this way, your subconscious instinct will organize in a special way that causes your transcendental creativity to essentially recreate what the target looks. In other words, if you’re using clairvoyance for example, you will feel an urge to create certain kinds of images in your mind and these images will actually end up imitating the target in some way. This is essentially the basic principle under which ESP works. When attempting to use clairecognizance to sense more abstract information about a target, you would similarly hold an intention to know this abstract information about the target while also telling a highly affirmational story that causes you to believe that you simply know this information about the target. As you do, your subconscious will organize in a way that alters your transcendental belief to perceive an abstract context that imitates the one that matches the target.

          Going further, you can charge psychic energy even more powerfully by going into a state of full attention. To accomplish this, you will want to try to tell your affirmational story in a way that really captures your own interest and makes you feel compelled to focus on the story you’re telling more and more. You shouldn’t tell your affirmational story in a lackadaisical way that’s uninteresting and feels like you’re just going through the motions. It should also be noted that telling an interesting story in this manner is always a little hard to do. There’s no real step by step technique you can follow to accomplish this feat every time. However, as you continue to charge using interesting stories, it will become easier and easier for you to enter a state of full attention as you enter a transcendental state of awareness and recreate the target in your mini-dream. Now you can even go a little further than this and use the sleep awake method to enter a state of full attention as well. I actually find that the sleep awake method is even more ideal for psychic energy. This is because, as you’re attempting to sense the target, some part of your attention may be dedicated to simply “guessing” what the target is. As long as some part of your attention is doing this, even if only a little bit, it can affect the images that comes to your mind and make them less accurate. The more interesting the story you tell is, the less attention thoughts like this will have and the less strongly they’ll affect your subconscious instinct. However, when you use the sleep awake method, you can just about completely rid your mind of these guessing thoughts.

          This causes the images that pop into your mind then to be much more accurate in terms of recreating the target. To use the sleep awake method here, I usually start off a main charging session by holding an intention and telling an interesting story until I enter a transcendental state and then repeating this process after I've fallen out of a transcendental state as normal. But then, after 10 – 15 seconds into it, I’ll simply relax my mind as if I’m attempting to drift off to sleep. As mentioned in chapter 12 of book I, this technique will only work if you already have a very strong existing charge. If you stop focusing on the target and simply let your mind drift off to sleep, then your mind will just randomly wander all of the place, the same way it does when you normally dream. However, if you have a preexisting psychic energy charge, then that charge will cause your “dream mind” to try to sense the target anyway as it wanders. Thus after I’ve charged a good chunk of psychic energy already, I’ll stop focusing on anything in particular and will then simply allow my mind to drift off like I’m going to sleep. I’ll close my eyes and relax for a few moments and act like I’m trying to sleep. I won’t actually be trying to sleep of course and can do this while standing or sitting down. Instead I’m relaxing my mind as if I’m trying to sleep. When I do this for a few seconds, my mind will temporarily slip into a deeper transcendental state and my pre-existing charge will, presumably, cause my mind to try to sense the target at some point.

          This is still a bit of a gamble though because when you enter a deeper transcendental state in this manner, it really will feel like your mind is lost in a normal dream. So sometimes your mind will still choose to do random things while in this state, even if you have a pre-existing psychic energy charge. However, the pre-existing charge will certainly increase the odds that your dream mind attempts to sense the target at some point during your mini-dream. I’ll usually perform this technique in the last 15 – 20 seconds of some main charging session and then wait again for about an hour or so before trying again at the second half of another main charging session. Lastly I should also mention that you can perform a powerful excitement burst when you notice images coming to your mind while in a transcendental state as well. This means that you would try to get your subconscious instinct to produce a burst of effort to “see” the target while in a transcendental state. I find that when I do this, my subconscious organizes more powerfully and for a short moment I feel like I can perceive the target even more clearly. However, I never did this too often because it always hurt my pineal gland so much. Put another way, I always felt like my psychic headache got so much worse when I did this so I avoided it most of the time. I recommend to avoid bursting in this manner if it feels uncomfortable to do so.

PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS

In this section, I’d like to talk more about the feelings and images you’ll get while in a transcendental state and charging psychic energy. Now during this time, you may still get other random feelings and images that have nothing to do with the target because your intention still has to command your subconscious without actually knowing what the target is. We saw a similar version of this problem when charging transcendental creativity. However, during the times you’re in a transcendental state, your subconscious instinct will, at some point, produce images and feelings that actually are associated with the target – at least your goal is to ensure that your subconscious instinct does this at some point. Now because your subconscious will sometimes produce thoughts related to the target and sometimes won’t, it becomes useful to categorize subconscious thoughts that are related to the target. Thus I like to use the term psychic impressions to refer to the thoughts and feelings you have that actually imitate the target. In the case of clairvoyance, your psychic impressions will generally contain imagery related to what the target looks like. However, in the case of clairaudience, your psychic impressions will be sounds you hear in your mind that imitate what the target sounds like.

          An important characteristic of psychic impressions worth discussing is the way that they feel. In my experience charging psychic energy, I’ve come to believe that I can usually recognize when I’m having a psychic impression about the target. While in a transcendental state, I will feel an instinctive compulsion to imagine something that represents the target. Now when this happens, it will have a feeling that is very unique and is even a bit difficult to describe. It’s similar to an emotion but it doesn’t quite feel like a specific one. And yet, it's also a very unique feeling that I have whenever I’m retrieving a psychic impression about a target. This is a feeling that I think you will get used to as you practice psychic abilities more and more. Although you may not always be able to specifically tell when you’re having a psychic impression vs just randomly imagining stuff, one tell tale sign of it is that the compulsion will seem like a very unusual urge for you to have. Normally when your subconscious creates things, it will be in response to your intention in the moment – which in turn can be influenced by past memories, including both short-term and long-term subconscious memory. However, when your subconscious creates things that are meant to imitate the target, then these creations won’t have the same feeling of familiarity that they usually have when based on your own desires and memories. They will instead feel very unusual and out of nowhere.

          As an example of this, let’s say that a person is holding a picture of the grand canyon and I’m attempting to use clairvoyance to sense this picture. When I enter a transcendental state and receive psychic impressions of this picture, I might start dreaming about things related to rocks or the large open space that I think of when I see the grand canyon. I may even start getting images related to the reddish color of the grand canyon. Furthermore these impressions could include feelings related to the grand canyon as well. For example I could simply feel a sense of “rockiness” when getting psychic impressions about this target. This feeling and the corresponding images I get would likely be very unusual for me to think about while in a transcendental state. The unusual and random nature of these images and feelings would be a tell tale sign that I’m actually having a psychic impression as opposed to just normal thoughts.

          The next important quality to mention about psychic impressions is just how incomplete and vague they can often be. People often think that using psychic abilities means seeing the target with perfect clarity and easily being able to tell what the target is. But that is only a misconception about how these abilities work. On the contrary, psychic impressions can be extremely vague and incomplete. Especially at the beginning of a charge. Because of this, it can be difficult sometimes to make sense of the target based on these impressions. For example if the target is a picture of the ocean, you may get a feeling of water or liquid during a psychic impression. But this feeling could also be so weak that it’s hard to fully recognize as a feeling related to liquid or water. You sometimes see this when psychics say things like “I feel like it could be this” or “I’m getting a sense of such and such” when attempting to connect to the target. What they’re trying to do is hone in on that vague feeling they’re getting during psychic impressions and trying to make as much sense of it as possible. Incomplete or vague images are even more annoying. In this case, the images will imitate the visual qualities of the target but they’ll be too vague on their own for you to be fully sure about what the target is. In some cases these impressions can even only imitate parts of the image and not necessarily the whole thing – something I like to refer to as the “cropping problem”. When you finally see the target however, then all of those vague images and feelings will start to make more sense.

          We will talk more about how to reconstruct the target from psychic impressions in the next section. However, for the moment, we can say that psychic abilities are like a glorified games of charades. Your job is to collect a certain amount of data about the target from your psychic impressions and then make an overall guess about what the target is. It should be noted that there is always some guess work involved in ESP. Another misconception about psychic abilities is that there is always certainty involved whenever a person correctly connects to a target and retrieves information about it. It is assumed that if it is possible for me to psychically know some information about the target, then I must be absolutely sure in my interpretation of that information 100% of the time – but that is not true. Being good at using ESP not only means connecting to the target and receiving information about that target, it also means having the forensics like skill of being able to put all of that data together to know what the target is. It may be the case that you correctly gathered some data that represents the target but you’re just not that good at figuring out what the target is based on that data, just as someone who is bad at charades would be. Again we’ll talk more about how to reconstruct the target based on that data shortly.

          The last aspect of psychic impressions I’d like to discuss here is in their specificity. In certain experiments, scientist have been known to test a person’s psychic abilities by holding a random card, from a deck of cards, and then asking them to use their ESP to determine what the card is. The problem with this approach however, is that, from the perspective of a psychic impression, all of the cards in the deck would pretty much look the same. It is very difficult to get an impression that reaches such a level of clarity that you’re able to, not only tell that the target is a card, but will even be able to tell it apart from other cards. Psychic abilities are better at making more categorical distinctions rather than more particular ones. For example if you were to instead have a deck of 3 or 4 cards all with very different shapes, then it might be easier to use psychic abilities to see which card was pulled because it is so categorically distinguishable from the other cards in the deck from the perspective of ESP.

COLLECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION PHASES

As you saw in the last section, the actual process of “extracting” usable information from your psychic senses is a very arduous process. It’s not quite like the movies where a psychic simply puts their fingers on their temple and then instantaneously knows all there is to know about the target on the inside and out with perfect clarity. Again this is a very common misconception about how psychic abilities work. In reality, the process is far more messy than this. For example, it is perfectly possible to successfully engage in the supernatural act of “receiving” information about a target at a distance and yet that information is far too vague and all over the place to actually be used to predict what the target really is – which is ultimately your goal at that end. In other words gathering information about the target is only the first step in using your psychic abilities. The second step is actually interpreting the information that you’ve gathered in the first step and then using that information to make your final prediction about what the target actually is. As mentioned earlier, this second step is actually a skill in and of itself. We’ll discuss both steps in more detail in this section starting with the first.

          I like to think of ESP as having two phases as far as your psychic predictions go. The first phase is what I like to call the collection phase. As the name suggests, this phase involves simply collecting data about the target through your psychic impressions. It’s important to understand that your goal during this phase is not to try to interpret or make sense of the psychic impressions that you receive about the target. Psychic impressions will almost always give you a vague and incomplete piece of information about the target that, by itself, will not be enough to make an educated guess about what the target really is. I say almost always because, once in a blue moon, you may get a super clear impression that pretty much gives you the gist of what the target is. But that is a very rare occurrence in my experience. More often than not, your psychic impressions will give very weak pieces of information about the nature of the target. However, that is still better than nothing. These vague impressions are at least giving you something to work with. During the collection phase, your job is to try to just keep collecting more and more of these weak pieces of information about the target through your psychic impressions. Worry about interpreting all of this information later. If you try to interpret your impressions too much as you’re still collecting them, then you will start to feel you have a “hunch” about what the target really is.

          Now to be clear, this hunch is really just you guessing and actually has nothing to do with the target itself or your psychic abilities. However, the moment you start to think “you just know” what the target really is, then some part of your attention is going to constantly be focused on what you think the target is. This in turn will cause you to produce an intention, no matter how weakly, to visualize something similar to what you think the target is. This phenomenon is almost unavoidable to some extent while collecting information about the target, especially as you get more and more impressions, however, it will be far more disruptive when you actively keep trying to figure out what the target is while you’re still collecting data on it. Again during the collection phase, you will just want to try to just collect data about the target and be as unbiased as possible while you’re doing so.

          Another important part of the collection phase involves the amount of data you actually need to collect to sufficiently figure out what the target is. Clearly a single psychic impression about a target would be an insufficient amount of information to make an educated guess on what the target is most of the time. For example if the target is a picture of a beach and I get a psychic impression of a grainy image and a feeling of dryness, then that wouldn’t be enough to figure out that the target is a beach by itself. Clearly I need to get more impressions of the target before I’m ready to make my prediction. But then the question is how much more? Each psychic impression is like a partial snapshot of the target. It will give you some piece of information related to the nature of what the target is. An interesting question to ask is how many of these snapshots are necessary to make a good prediction about the target? Well that’s the thing, there’s no one size fits all answer that can be given. Sometimes you may get a series of really good impressions that make it a lot easier to tell what the target most likely is. Other times you won’t and will need to take more impressions as a result. Different targets can also have different levels of complexity in terms of the pieces of information that can be attributed to them. A picture for example is mostly just going to have visual information related to it. This isn’t too bad and may require only a few impressions before you might think you’re ready to predict the target. I used to take about 10 – 15 or so impressions before I thought I was ready to make a prediction.

          However, if the target is an actual event in history, then you may have to get impressions about the timing, the people involved, the environment, sounds related to the event and so on. Such a target would naturally require way more impressions to be able to reconstruct. Furthermore it would even require you to use different clair types and possibly focus on different pieces of the target for a period of time. This would be an extraordinary task and is actually one that I think would be too much work for any one person to perform. Gathering enough data for a complex event like that should be performed by a group of psychics, each one collecting data about a particular component of the overall target. However, if the target is a fairly a simple picture, then one person should be enough to gather a sufficient amount of data to be able to predict the target on their own. It is recommended to write down each psychic impression you get for a target in a log. I’ve noticed that when I get a psychic impression, I tend to forget the information contained in that impression rather quickly – similar to forgetting a dream shortly after waking up. So I decided to start writing my impressions down in a log to record them. Now because psychic impressions can be so vague and unusual in nature, it is important to write them down as descriptively as possible before you forget all the little details your impression had. For example if you get a feeling of water or something being very round, make sure to write that down as you may forget it a few seconds or minutes later. Always try to be as descriptive as possible regarding the images and feelings you get during a psychic impression.

          Ok let’s now move on to the second phase of using psychic abilities, the reconstruction phase. As the name suggests, this is the phase where you attempt to reconstruct the target or try to figure out what it really is. At this point you would now access your log and look at all of the psychic impressions you recorded. As you look through this record, you may notice that some impressions keep repeating themselves over and over again in your log. In a sense, there’s a certain descriptive theme that seems to be attributable to the target. However, it needn’t always be the case that your records repeat themselves because of some unchanging attribute of the target. Instead your records could also be repeating themselves due to your own personal biases. Certain images and feelings could keep popping into your mind because of your own deeply held interest and preferences. Unfortunately you cannot know for sure which repeating themes actually reflect the nature of target – which means you correctly received the information using psychic abilities – and which ones are just from you having an overactive imagination during the collection process. To deal with this problem, I decided to use a process for handling the data that I like to call themes permutation method. For this process, I would take the list of impressions I recorded and create different categories out of them.

          The first category would consists of the total of all of the impressions I recorded for the target. I would then try to make a prediction about what the target was based on these impressions. After this, I would create smaller categories out of my recorded impressions. I would give each repeating impression a number and then also number the non-repeating impressions. From there I would then create different categories of data that were based on all of the different possible combinations of these numbers. This includes making each single repeating impression its own category so that I’m making a prediction based on that one repeating impression. I would then list all of the combinations of two of the numbers from the numbered list of repeating and non-repeating impressions and then list all combinations for three numbers from the numbered list and so on. In the end, I’d have a list of all the possible combinations of the repeating and non-repeating impressions. The idea here is that one of these combinations will correctly contain only psychic impressions that accurately represent the target. Of course you won’t know which one in advance so you’ll have to make predictions for all of these possibilities. If the technique works, then one of your predictions should be an extremely accurate description of the target.

          While this technique may be quite useful for making an accurate prediction about a target, it still clearly involves a lot of work. This is even after we’ve already gone through the work of using psychic abilities to retrieve information about the target. Furthermore the more complex the target, the more impressions you’ll need to get and the more work will be involved. This arduous messiness is how psychic abilities actually work in the real world. Because I’d always get such bad headaches when trying to collect data through psychic impressions, I haven’t been able to actually use this technique too often. However, when I have, I predicted with extraordinary accuracy a target that was actually an image of colorful air balloons in the sky. Or at least one my predictions – of the 5 that I had for that particular target – was extremely accurate. It should be noted that if more than one person collects data about the target as well, then the data from all individuals involved could also be used to attempt to reconstruct the target. This should also help to more clearly eliminate repeated themes that come from a person’s bias rather than the target itself.

RECONSTRUCTING NUMBER AND WORDS

As you saw in the previous section, using your psychic abilities to make predictions about what a target actually is can be a very involved process. It’s not as simple as retrieving some information about the target at a distance and then the job is done. We primarily looked at the more complete process of collecting data about a target and then reconstructing it in cases where the target was a simple image. However, what might be even more interesting are cases where the target is a word or a number. For example, let’s say that a person’s name is hidden from you but you have some details about the actual person themselves. Is it possible to use your psychic abilities to reconstruct the name of this person? Well this is actually something that is commonly attempted in the psychic community and is generally considered to be notoriously difficult to accomplish. I have also found this to be a fairly difficult task in my own experiences as well. In general images are usually much easier to reconstruct than words or numbers. But then what makes words and numbers so hard to reconstruct?

          Well I believe the main reason has to do with the fact that numbers and words are actually symbols that we use to reference certain ideas. We don’t care so much about the specific image or sound you’re using to represent the symbol so long as it is clear enough to make out what the symbol is. For example if I type the word “sky” in bold or italic or using different fonts, it really doesn’t matter as long as it’s clear enough to see the word “sky”. Similarly if you say the word sky in a high voice, a low voice or a funny voice, it doesn’t really matter as long as I can still make out that you said the word sky. In other words, numbers and words only become “information” when we’re able to perceive them with an extraordinary degree of discernment. The way written and spoken language is set up, this bar of discernment is easily reached whenever we’re using one of our 5 senses to perceive words. However, when using your 6th sense, it is way harder to discern these symbols with the same level of clarity. For example let’s say that there is a sign that says “Oak Tree Lane”. What would a psychic impression of the image of this sign look like?

          Well an image pertaining to the colors and shape of the sign might pop into your mind and give you an idea about the target is as it relates to those attributes. But what about the actual words in the sign? Could you ever get clear enough psychic impressions to eventually make out the words? Recall that psychic impressions are generally very vague and incomplete by themselves. Well even when taking a large amount of snapshots of a word, could you eventually distinguish between words like “oat” and “oak” or “ate” and “boat”? These are clearly very different words despite how similar they all are and it’s not really good enough for my psychic prediction of a word to be another word that’s very close to it. From a psychic perspective though, all of these words would look fairly similar to each other. This is also true of numbers as well. Thus it will always be very difficult to use psychic abilities to reconstruct words and numbers. With that being said however, I do believe your best bet at doing this would be to take a large number of impressions of the target and do so using different clair types.

          For example you could use clairecognizance to try to get a sense of how big or small the word is. This wouldn’t actually involve any numbers but just a general feeling of size. After taking multiple impressions of this, you could then move on to seeing where in the alphabet the first letter is. This also wouldn’t be a precise number but a general feeling of where in the alphabet the first letter is. You could then try to use clairvoyance to see the image of the first letter in the word and take a few impressions of that. After that you could use clairaudience to try to hear what the first letter sounds like and then repeat these processes with the next letter and the next one after that. At some point you could also use clairaudience to try to hear what the full word sounds like and then use clairvoyance to try to see what the whole word looks like. Eventually with all of your data, you might be able to make out or “decrypt” what the target word is, or at least narrow down the possibilities. With this technique, there is chance however, that you could be focusing on a letter that doesn’t actually exist in the target. For example if I held the intention to know information about the fourth letter in the word “ate”, I likely wouldn't notice any repeating themes in my psychic impressions and would receive images and feelings only from personal bias. I call these kinds of targets “null targets” since they basically don’t exist. In spite of this potential problem, you might still be able to make a prediction that’s close to the real word in the target. However, as you could probably tell, getting this number of impressions would be an astronomical amount of work and would be way too much for one person. As a result, I’ve never actually tested this method myself to see if I could successfully decrypt a word in this manner.

PSYCHIC ENERGY AND DEPRESSION

I’d like to now talk about a very negative side effect of psychic energy that I’ve noticed. This has to do with the way psychic energy affects your emotions and spirituality.  When I first got into the practicing of using psychic abilities, I started to notice that I got very very depressed when I did. This was relatively strange for me because I’d rarely ever felt depressed. For whatever reason that was just an emotional problem that I’ve never really had that much trouble with. However, when I practiced psychic abilities, all of a sudden I got very depressed. At that time I had no idea what this meant. Although I didn’t know as much about the subconscious then as I believe I do now, I still knew that the subconscious was quantized by intention. I started to wonder if the usage of psychic abilities was assigned to a negative frequency and if this depressed feeling I was experiencing was actually just the emotion assigned to that frequency. I also wondered if this meant that psychic abilities were inherently wrong or evil in nature. For a long time I wasn’t quite sure about this answer. Because I kept getting psychic headaches when practicing these abilities, I thought that maybe this depressed feeling was simply the result of some issue with my pineal gland and that it didn’t actually mean that psychic abilities were inherently bad to use. However, over time I’ve started to believe that psychic abilities, particularly ESP, is simply antithetical to spiritual energy. This is because I’ve never been able to charge a lot of spiritual energy and psychic energy at the same time.

          It’s always very difficult to charge both. It feels similar to when I’m trying to charge the love and hate emotions at the same time. I can only conclude that this is because using ESP is general is a sinful behavior that pushes spiritual energy away. Now to be fair this may not necessarily be for all uses of psychic abilities. It could be that there are some uses of ESP that don’t push spiritual energy away. However, for every usage of ESP that I’ve practiced, it felt like psychic energy was pushing spiritual energy away. Now when you engage in other sinful behaviors more and more, you may feel some negative emotion such as hate, anger, sadness or jealousy more and more as your spiritual energy continues to drop. However, with psychic abilities, you just get more and more depressed as psychic energy grows and spiritual energy drops. As mentioned in chapter 5, this drop in spiritual energy makes you more susceptible to contact from negative entities. For this reason, I hardly ever charge psychic energy. Again the reason I’ve even bothered to mention the details for charging psychic energy in this chapter is so that you can simply have a better understanding of how psychic abilities actually work and how sending and receiving information works in the spirit world. I've also including this information because God may call you to use psychic abilities in a good way to serve him.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

In spite of the antithetical nature of psychic energy and spiritual energy that I’ve been suggesting, I would like to state that there may actually be a time where one is able to charge both of these energies quite easily and naturally. As I've developed my relationship with God and reached higher levels of spiritual energy charge, I believe there are certain insights that I've gained since practicing psychic abilities and both feeling depression and having dark experiences using them so many years ago from the time of this writing. I've come to now believe that psychic abilities are really just like any one of the other mental abilities that you have. Namely, none of your abilities are inherently bad or evil and you're committing sin solely by virtue of using some mental ability of yours. Rather, it's how you use your mental abilities that determines whether or not you're committing some act of evil by using them. I've come to now believe that this is also true for your psychic abilities as well. Specifically, it's how you use your psychic abilities that determines whether or not using them pushes spiritual energy away or brings it in.

          When I first started to practice psychic abilities, I was actually using them to try to get simple information about hidden targets. However later I was also determined to use them in a way related to making money. I now believe that these underlying intentions are what caused my spiritual energy to drop when charging psychic energy. The way I see psychic abilities now is pretty much consistent with what I mentioned in a previous chapter about the spirit world. Namely you can either use psychic abilities in service of God or not in service of God. There is no in between. I think psychic abilities have a very special set of rules on them from God in terms how we're to use them in this world. If we use psychic abilities outside of those rules, then our spiritual energy gets pushed away to let us that what we're doing is wrong. That's why I got so depressed using psychic abilities and could never figure out how to charge both spiritual energy and psychic energy together. I was not spiritually developed enough to use these abilities in a way that was aligned with God's will. This makes sense since I hadn't begun my "conversation with God" back then in the manner that I mentioned in chapter 4. If I had, I would have just asked for his help in learning how to use my psychic abilities.

          Even if I thought my intentions were just, I was still using psychic abilities outside of the divine rules in which I was allowed to use them. But then just what are these special rules then for psychic abilities? Well, that's just it, I don't think there are a universal set of rules any one can just look at and try to stay within as they use these psychic abilities. At the very least, I have not had enough experience with these abilities to discover these rules. I think that you can only really use psychic abilities properly when you're being directed in how to use them by God. In other words, you've got to first get approval from God to use these abilities and then, from there, the Holy Spirit will direct you in how to use them properly. There is no point where you're free to use psychic abilities how ever you feel like. If you're not using these abilities for God and in a way that is aligned with his will, then you're basically using them against his will, which of course is evil. I believe this is what the occult and witchcraft represent. In these communities, psychic abilities are sought after for the purpose of using them according to one's own will as opposed to God's and that is why they constantly end up with spiritually negative experiences.

          Some so called witches believe that they are not engaging in evil because they are using psychic abilities for what they themselves have deemed to be good causes. For example, in witchcraft, there is a branch of magic that is referred to as white magic or the right hand path. In this branch of practice, witches use their psychic abilities to help others. But I believe that even this is still evil because we do not have the judgment to truly know what is good in this way, we have to defer to God's judgment for that. Furthermore the supernatural phenomenon they refer to as "magic", which is really just an influence type psychic ability, is very tricky to control properly and ensure positive outcomes for using our own will. That's why it's important for us to defer to God to obtain both direction and assistance from the Holy Spirit so that we use it the right way. We will discuss this concept more in the next chapter and in chapter 10. Suffice it to say though, this is why people who practice psychic abilities for so called good causes, such as in reiki, very often still end up feeling very empty and depressed and have dark experiences. They're still losing spiritual energy despite using psychic abilities for what they thought was a good cause. On the other hand I've seen people use psychic abilities and was convinced that they were not using them in a dark or evil way. And these people would usually all have something in common, they'd actually talk about God and his will or their relationship with him a lot where as witches and occult practitioners rarely ever mention God or Jesus at all. And the one's who'd talk about God a lot would always be using their psychic abilities in a some way that seemed to help others find God.

          It's never about selfishly using psychic abilities to try to cheat when it comes to getting through the difficulties of life as is often done in witchcraft. The main reason more people do not use psychic abilities in the positive way is because most people do not have that kind of relationship with God. They have not consciously established a conversation with God and therefore are unable to receive directions from him in regards to using their psychic abilities. The exception to this though are people I believe were born to use their abilities to serve God. These are individuals who just have psychic abilities in a "turned on" state from birth. Sometimes it is presumed that these abilities represent evil or a generational curse. But I remember listening to a woman, who was born with psychic abilities, mention that her abilities actually got stronger whenever she would draw nearer to God rather than weaker. This makes sense if it was her purpose to use her abilities to serve God. I have similarly heard of a woman who stated that her father, a Christian preacher, was told by an angel that his daughter would have special abilities when born. Those abilities turned to be out her psychic abilities.

          I will talk more about life's purpose in chapter 10. However I believe that there are certain individuals who are born to use their psychic abilities in a positive way to serve God. However because they haven't learned how to raise their spiritual energy at a young age, they often see many dark figures when they're young. This is exactly why psychic abilities are in the turned off state for most people to begin with and is why the body works so hard to dampen them. I believe psychic abilities can really only be used properly when one has reached a certain level of spiritual growth. This means that they have a strong relationship with God and are able to be directed by his will. Only then, might they be able to use psychic abilities properly. For example, although I have not tried to yet, I believe that I could now use psychic abilities without experiencing that drop in spiritual energy that I mentioned previously. But then I also wouldn't be using them for the same frivolous reasons that I was in the past and would simply ask God how he wishes for me to use them. Most people think of psychic abilities as being cool and want to use them to do cool things. Well this very attitude indicates that they're also not ready to use them yet. And when people start using them anyway, they lose spiritual energy and start being contacted by negative entities. Thus if you're interested in using psychic abilities, it is very important to pray to God and ask if it is his will for you to use them and, if so, to guide you in using them to serve him. Again, anything else is just the occult.

TELEPATHY

No discussion on sensory type psychic abilities is complete without at least some mention of one of the most popular of all psychic abilities –telepathy. This of course refers to the ability for a person to, in a sense, hear the thoughts of another person or being. While I don’t have much experience with this particular psychic ability, I would like to briefly discuss my insights and beliefs on this ability. First, I believe this ability does exist and works by transcendentally connecting your subconscious to another sentient being. So far, we’ve been talking about transcendentally connecting your subconscious to inanimate objects or physical events. But what about connecting your subconscious to living things with an awareness and consciousness that has the ability to think? What happens when your subconscious connects to a target like this? Well as you might expect, you will be able to spiritually sense the person’s thoughts. But I don’t believe it will be quite as simple or as clear as sensing every thought from this person’s conscious mind. Rather, I believe that you will be able to sense this person’s subconscious thoughts, which has to do with what they’re imagining and the emotions they’re feeling. This would also come in the form of psychic impressions. These impressions would start off weak and vague initially but would become more clear and continuous as your subconscious transcendentally connects to a person more and more. I’ve never actually tried to connect to another person in this manner, but I theorize that such a phenomenon is possible and that this is what would happen if you did try to hear a person’s thoughts. However, this may be a negative usage of psychic abilities and could lower your subconscious frequency as a result.

REMOTE VIEWING

The last topic in this chapter I’d like to briefly discuss is the discipline of remote viewing. We mentioned this term a few times before now and you may have even heard of it on your own. But what does it really mean to remote view? And how does one engage in this practice? Well the term itself is really just referring to the same phenomenon as ESP, which is sensing external things through the use of one’s spiritual senses. However, what really differentiates these two terms is in the method that one uses to collect information about the target. In our discussion, it was advised to simply record the information you get from each psychic impression in a log and then attempt to guess what the target is based on those impressions. It was even mentioned that you could collect this data using different sense intentions. Well this is actually a very general and generic approach to the collection and reconstruction phases for ESP.  Remote viewing however, uses a much more sophisticated approach where you’re given much more direction in terms of how you collect information about the target. This presumably makes it much easier to reconstruct the target later. In fact remote viewers will often use these directions to attempt to reconstruct real-world events or environments rather than simple hidden images. I have never formally studied the topic of remote viewing myself, but that is my understanding of how this practice differs from your standard ESP attempt. If you’re interested in receiving more guidance in the collection phase of ESP, then I recommend seeking out a good a remote viewing training course.
