OK, over my many years of being a Witness, on rare
occasions, strange, almost miraculous things would
happen in my life - since these things were mostly
positive (I don't know if I call foreknowledge of
a relative's death positive!), I just patted myself
on the back, thinking I was a "good boy" in God's
sight!
Well, stuff still would happen, now and then, when
I wasn't so faithful! In reading the Bible, I found
that miraculous gifts of the spirit did NOT necessarily
coincide with being totally obedient - like Paul's
instructions on disorderly meetings 'cause people
wouldn't stop speaking in tongues. I also read Sheldrake's
book on Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Returning
Home, which led me to think that ESP, if real, was
simply a property of nature, not Divine approval.
So, I investigated things on my own - and found that
a few people could produce remarkable effects reliably.
In Mind Over Matter, the author recounts his personal
meetings with writer Martin Caidin. He practised
putting aluminum foil pinwheels on needle points under
glass enclosures - and then turning them with ihs mind!
Also, see the book Mind Machines You Can Build by
G. Harry Stine.
I carefully built one of these 'pinwheels under glass'.
I used a clear display cylinder that can be sealed
airtight. I practised meditating in the way the book
describes and.....
it moves!
I can make it oscillate back and forth from about three
feet away. It responds strongly to my hands and fingers.
(not from weight shifting, I'm careful)
I'm still experimenting with this (it works most of
the time) I don't want my wife to see this because
it might spook her (pointing at an object intently
and making it turn).
Anyway, get the books and experiment with it yourself.
Try it with an open mind and playful outlook.
Me? I'm practising. Maybe someday I can toss a cinder block
across a room just by thinking about it..
And if I ever do,
I'm gonna visit Bethel..
there's a scene from Carrie, I'd really like to try.....
have fun
