'Psychic' Articles
I will be exploring more specifically the ‘psychic and paranormal’ phenomenon. Perhaps they will help you understand more about yourself. As Derek Acorah is quoted, “Everyone who is born to the Earth has the psychic ability lying dormant.”
Do I have concrete psychic/spiritual experiences? Indeed. I am defined medically as autistic, meaning I’m “self absorbed”. I experience the internal processes first. The neural structure that screens things and slows down sense impression for processing doesn’t work for me. Sensory impressions come to me like abstract input and I interpret stuff “strangely”.
I “order” information in a certain way, and I have no subconscious as others understand it. Dream like imagery is a part of my waking experience, so forms a psycho sensory gestalt. Someone I meet in person, her personal presence her personality and any symbolism, form a fused construct in my mind, and I have a language focus because it provides a framework for cognitive organization. Even incorporating some terms from languages other than my birth tongue.
For myself experience and practice came first.

Underlying Essence of Magick
Magick is a broad subject, but has a simple essence that gets lost terribly in many sources on the subject. Most people think of the human body and mind as somehow closed systems, but in fact this is very far from the case. We absorb the material and reflexively the essence of all the elements, even without thinking about it. There is a phrase in hermetic philosophy, which is a literal truth though it is also somewhat confusing for people. As above so below, as within so without. In magick you develop an understanding of interconnections and how you influence… Seek More
Attunement with Magick
If people barely are able to control their feelings , their thoughts and their actions, how can we hope to achieve a magickal act? Your emotions are linked to external energies. When you recognize the connection then you see that you are acted upon and can act in kind. Astrology is based on observations of how natural cycles affect human spirit, using the stars as mnemonic devices and a clock of the cycle. Truth be told many people actually act very little. They actually tend to live rather reactively. How can one learn to be more attuned to the energies… Seek More
Using Energies in the World
Using the energies is sort of like being in a gently flowing river. Most people are blown about by the winds or washed away with the waters, but you can see that the winds and the waters, the elements and the spirits, are not separate from you. Often, when the energies seem to rebel, when your “luck” seems to be going abnormally bad, it isn’t the forces of the world acting on you. It’s them obeying you and your own energies are arrayed in a self destructive way. You put your will out, and because you believe you are powerless,… Seek More
What is ‘Psychic’?
Psychic function is not any more mysterious or complicated than learning style. One of the biggest stumbling blocks about learning to perform psychically is the idea that it’s necessarily a special state of mind. The brain itself is a sense organ. It exists to sense the input from the senses and assemble it into “coherent” perception, at least ideally. But the idea that the brain is the seat of all consciousness makes much of the minds function seem confusing. Naturally because it takes it out of context. There are many more energetic reactions in this world than science tracks, and… Seek More
Our Thought and Senses
What is the form of thought? Now that is interesting. Form is coherent or “encoded” memory. Energy I mean, and memory. The energy of any given object is perceptible to us. The memory and the energy of the object are not separate, but thought seems more nebulous than sense data, less clear. It’s actually not. It’s the senses that are limited. The senses are narrow points of energetic contact. The memory of a sense impression is not some vague shadow in our brain. It is an energetic linkage to the energy that imprinted it. From your consciousness to the object… Seek More
Triggering Psychic Function
So how to trigger the psychic ability if we choose, or knowingly avoid the triggers? Your mind is a world. Has many facets like a kaleidoscope that will show you different things with a change in focus. Most people are more focused on emotion than they would admit, and so they are caught up in a storm of emotions. Usually they don’t distinguish between something that arises in self and something that is a mood in their world. So you can deepen your awareness of that. Detach and accept it. But often that is both the easiest and the hardest… Seek More
Psychic Connection to Dreaming
We remember dreams with the ‘primary’ psychic method. So this is a way to know what is primary for you. It is often why we complain we can’t remember dreams. We have heard dreams described as vivid images, so it makes everyone think that is what they should be able to recall or relate, and thus they say they can’t remember their dreams. Ultimately, they don’t because strain blocks recall. When they speak of having a vivid dream what they mean is something simple, and it’s the reason for my personal real life intensity. You have a vivid dream when… Seek More
Psychic Doing: Feeling
Ok, so far other posts in this series on Light Metaphysical Practice have only discussed the principles of how psychic function is possible. We haven’t gone into the actual doing yet, and it is potentially helpful to figure out the actual doing of it. Space and time do not exist, thus you remember a contact even when you are not experiencing the stimulus that initially created it. All that you have ever experienced directly or indirectly you are still in contact with. Past and future. Time does not exist because in fact it’s a tapestry of probability. We exist along all… Seek More
Psychic Doing: Vision
You can also try a vision exercise. What we will look at is self directed vision. If you have a stronger sense, it makes sense to use it and use vision to supplement it if you need more clarity. So with vision…the same exercise as feeling, only different focus. Exercise: Focus on seeing. Recall a place or person you would seek to know more about or a situation. An object of attention, person, place or thing. Your choice. If you can, anchor that clearly in your mind. When you have the object of your attention let your awareness shift to… Seek More
The Doubting Psychic
You may be cautious about your mind ‘making up’ a story. If so, don’t believe these words and don’t believe your thinking right now. It is the same process. Don’t believe what your body is telling you. We all take cognizance in exactly the same way. It is all the mind making up a story. Daydreaming can be a form of psychic ability. However, we do lie to ourselves. What differentiates is the quality of awareness, but you can check yourself on that. When your eyes say you see your computer screen is there any element of wilfulness? Of certainty… Seek More
