PART-TIME PSYCHO DUDE Try this little stunt the next time you find yourself with absolutely nothing to do:
Be your own crystal gazer; your own psycho adviser person or fortune teller and see things you've never seen before ...well, maybe. It's kid's stuff on the surface, but it can be interesting to older kids as well ... even puzzling.
To begin: take a clean, clear glass . Fill it with water almost to the brim and place it on a low table before you. Seat yourself comfortably on a chair so that you can look directly down into the contents of the glass from above. You are now ready. All you have to do is to relax - refrain from movement of yourself or of the table. Now - look - stare down into the depths, then gradually bring your prime point of vision to the surface and hold it there.
You may have wondered what it might be like when fortune tellers feign to see or actually do see thing in crystal balls they use. You are now doing it. Make no attempt to adjust any lighting. If you see nothing - change to a different area more alive with light reflections.
Case #1: I saw along corridor which appeared to be flowing away from me in deep, sharper than normal perspective. The floor was hardwood strips. I had a feeling it was evening or night time. To the right was a series of long windows, curtained with with long, white curtain almost to the floor along a full length hallway toward an existing light area. Ahead was a more intense light - tinted yellow. Ahead in a doorway, in that yellowish glow of light, stood a thin girl in the doorway and she seemed to be moving and rearranging her tousled , dark brown hair. She was fully clothed and intently re-arranging her long, dark hair. I couldn't see the person to whom she was talking, only a shadow passing the doorway now and then. I did not know the girl. She just stood there talking to someone and did not notice me at all. She she did not acknowledge my being there. I went on down the hall; entered the bedroom beyond her and there was no one present.
Case #2: utter darkness on the water to start with and a light developed in the foreground and divided into two sections - upper and lower – to show me the inside of a church. It could have been the church we attend but larger and more ornate,I realized. I was seated above and behind organ pipes. I was look between them into the sanctuary, the high pulpit ahead of me and I suddenly realized the organ pipes installed along the edge of a balcony, were moving. Two larger pipes were split open. They were golden inside. They were moving toward the left. I was alone. The organ was not playing. There was no sound. It had a vague, dreamlike quality about it all and I wondered about why the pipes being gold on the inside and why they were moving as they were doing. They were not all exactly vertical, either, I found. A few leaned over the edge of the balcony and I felt they needed repair right away.
Case #3 or same session : longer than the others. Nothing developed after several tries. Unease in my mind. I should be doing something else. I as was unable to concentrate on not thinking which is essential. I did see a dark area with the expanse... like a darkened TV screen - an entire cube and some flicker in gray stripe at times. I decided to give it all up. Wisely, too, perhaps. We psychics tire easily. It's hard work keeping your mind blank on purpose for a twenty minute session.
Compare your notes with others who have done the same thing but do not like to admit having tried such a stupid stunt. Just imagine, however, what such trivial experiments must have meant to mankind over the centuries. Oracle ...prophet ....fortune teller... you can be all of them yourself! You may think this is silly, but it makes good séance to a great many people!
