    Telepathy Prep

    Let's go over how telepathy happens, what it feels like and the common misconceptions about this natural talent. This will prepare you with all the information you need to do it and not get completely confused or overwhelmed your first time out.
    Telepathy is sending and receiving thoughts with your mind. We do this all day usually quiet down enough to hear it. When you sit down to play a telepathy that usually masks it. That's how you pick up your information. It's always there, you're just listening to it better.

    The first time you try sending and receiving, you'll probably have to concentrate a bit to pick up random details of the thoughts your friend is sending. Seeing a whole image in your mind's eye is nearly impossible for newbies, so don't shoot for that when you begin. Just focus on your friends thoughts and describe the images and symbols as they come up.

    Believe it or not, you don't have to be a good clairvoyance type to do this successfully, you'll learn that there are many ways to send and receive thoughts and images. Whether you are a feeling, seeing, or hearing person; whether you receive in the center of your head, behind your ears or no where specific, your efforts will pay off as soon as you figure out how you work best. Basically, no matter how you focus, you'll get the picture.
    In reality, when you first play, you may feel like you're just guessing--that is until you really know what it feels like. Take as many guesses as you can, because the proof will come afterwards when you look at your accuracy. Like the rest of the games, it gets much easier with time and practice. After you raise your telepathy comfort zone, it will feel like a natural knowing, an instant understanding of what is on your friend's mind.

    *******
    Telepathy Tennis, Anyone?
    You and your friend are going to swap pictures by sending and receiving them in your mind. Playing this game over and over will open up your telepathic abilities, then you'll be able to receive instant messages from your friends during the day without having to be playing a psychic game. The next time something huge happens to one of them, you'll pick up on it and be the first to know.

    Once you get this game down pat, you'll find that it is easier to communicate with a pet or a relative who is a long distance away. One glance from fido and you'll understand his needs. You'll just know when Aunt Mae is going to call and what she is going to say. You'll also be able to read people who you've just met or who you want to get to know better.

    Game Pieces
    To play this game you need:
    Two 9 x 12 manila envelopes (or larger).
    8-10 magazines with lots of photos in them.
    A parent, sibling, or friend to help you prepare.
    Before you begin, give one of your parents or other friends eight to ten magazines, the one's with unusual ads work best. Have them tear out the pictures and ads they find interesting; everything from cars to makeup to jewelry to cereal. They should have at least 20 pictures and make sure there are no duplicates. Mix up the ads and separate them into two piles, put each pile in a big manila envelope.

    Neither of you should know what images are in the envelopes before you begin sending and receiving.


    Rules of the Game
    Before you begin, review the rules so you both know what's going to happen and how to play.

    Sit face to face, across from each other at a table or about five feet apart on the floor. If you want a more scientific way of doing this, sit in separate rooms or back to back with a screen in between you.

    Play the Game: Sending and Receiving
    Decide who will be the first sender and who will be the first receiver. Review the rules. Put the two large envelopes described above in front of you. Neither of you should know what images are in the envelopes. The sender should discreetly pull out their first image and keep it hidden from the receiver.
    Quiet your mind. Both of you close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and get into a relaxed, psychic state.

    The sender acts first. The sender stares at the image and studies it in detail. Actively sending thoughts about the picture to the receiver.

    The receiver begins. With eyes closed, the receiver pick ups all the information they can, describing what they see, hear and feel. It doesn't matter what the receiver's best psychic skills are, you can pick any of the following techniques to get the image:
    --Clairvoyance: The image will appear in your mind's eye as you concentrate on the area on your forehead in between your eyes.
    --Clairaudience: Concentrate on your inner ears and you'll hear descriptions or sounds that will tell you what the images is.
    --Clairsentience: Just by thinking about the picture will bring up feelings and a deep knowing about what it is your friend is looking at.

    The whole process should take three or four minutes.
    Switch roles and do it again. Stop after you both have had a chance to send and receive, then share your pictures and see how accurate you both were--then do it again. You can do this back and forth until you're ready to stop!

    Your Scorecard
    You're not looking for an accuracy percentage with this game, first you want to get enough of an image in your mind so you know without a doubt that you are using your telepathic abilities. This may take a few tries. Guessing anything is a beginning, so don't worry about saying only things that are right. (Note to senders: don't laugh, what ever they say, it may sound crazy, but it's all in the interpretation!). If you are a beginner, be happy if you get one out of three pictures correct or half the details of a particular image.

    The next thing you want to see is improvement; how quickly you can pick up an accurate image, how many details you can report back. If you get four out of five facts correct, you've got it down. The more you practice, the more confident you will be in your abilities.

    I can't say I agree but this thread is a very nice idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    I was kinda thinking after I posted..jezez..what a crap idea, not least to say it's already been done (I'll wager someone else had the same thought).. and anyway I haven't a clue what I'm thinking myself, but thought the better of it. Maybe someone else could do the thinking.

    <edit> I "borrowed" the exercise from another site.

    oohhhh oooohhh Can I play !

    I know the answer to this , it is easy, the answer is a Fork.

    but but the answer always is always a fork.
    That is one of the longest running mind reading jokes,
    you mean it wasnt a fork ?
    ahhhh so you must be a revisionist well then the answer is a Spoon.

    What ? It isnt , pffff if you are one of those odd balls that goes from fork to
    salad tongs you cant expect anyone to read your mind.

    All joking aside I do believe that you either have an ability or you dont.
    If you do there is the possibilty to hone and enhance it but only to what ever your natural level is. A bit like art, some cant drawn an apple, some can do
    bowls of fruit but there arent that many dutch old masters.

    Working with family and firnds can be a good start but also misleading as you know them and thier mindset well. Body language also comes into it in those cases.

    The what am i thinking is far to random on a forum for who is to say that at
    the tme I am typing this 21:54 you could be thinking about bed, needing to by a new can of doderant , have you clean socks or do you really want to go out in the cold and get something at the local shops cos it is cold and dark out there.

    A lot different from what you were thinking at 19:12 which was prob a inanimate house hold everyday object , ohoh I know a FORK !!!!!!!

    I was taking some brownies out of the oven at about 19.12 and wondering where the hell my friend was with my ciggs...(oh and I typed this message at the same time..funny)
    but yea..I hear yea, this set up works differently on java or irc as it's "live", people often find themselves typing the same thing when online. Using message boards is not the same unless you take the second part of the process and try to convey particular images..but to be honest thats borrring..I much prefer live chat..

    btw..I'm not a fan of Van Gogh (I undrestand he's not an old Dutch master in the sense of the word..but how and ever)

    I've always wanted to try remote viewing with someone. (You can try it on your own, but it's way harder).

    Used to do it with a friend before, it was freaky how accurate you could get. For example we tried it with letters of the alphabet. After a little while, we were getting every letter consistently right. My friend then tried to be funny by drawing a picture of an evelope on his card, and I got that he had done that straight away too.

    This type of thread didn't work well the last time though.

    What exactly was in those brownies? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    chocolate :)

    I'm drug free...

    my conclusion: lots of people were thinking abut or having sex, or getting stoned yesterday between the hours of 19.12 and whatever very late time it was before I went to bed.
    ok...hands up..who was it?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    I was thinking about all of them but the closest I came to any of them was a cadbury's creme egg.


    Altough last night was probably the first time in about a year I even thought about getting stoned, coincidence or proof positive ? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    I would think more than one person who read this thread last night was stoned doing so..maybe was picking up on that, but doubt you would have to be psychic to figure that one out.
    as with the sex thing.

    Heh, funny... I looked at the topic title before clicking on it and thought that almost straight away, then I dismissed it on grounds that it may be inappropriate, or it wasn't what solas was thinking (I'm after posting this just after I read this post, but I saw the post below for a split second).

    Heh, I can sense when someone is drunk online sometimes... I had that overall feeling of feeling out of it... Buggered up my head, as I couldn't think straight, lol
