Nowadays even presidents, vice-presidents, and heads of big agencies are opening their minds to accept psychic phenomena, because they know it works.
Are psychic abilities really possible? Why do some people have an unwavering belief in their veracity while others scoff at the very hint of their existence? Well, before we get into all of that, since you are reading this book, I assume its safe to say that you at least somewhat believe in the potential of psychic abilities, even if you are not entirely convincedyet.
With that said, I feel the need to disclose that I am not one of the worlds great psychics. I cannot even hold a candle to the likes of John Edward, Elizabeth Baron, or Dr. Doreen Virtue, whom you may have seen on television or read about in a magazine or newspaper. I am just an ordinary person with an interest in psychic development, who has taken the time to educate myself about honing my innate psychic abilities. And now, through this book, I am going to impart the wisdom I have gained onto you.
My interest in psychic development started when I was just a kid. When I was around nine or ten years old, I read the book Matilda by Roald Dahl and became obsessed with the idea of learning how to move objects with my mind.
For those of you who dont know, Matilda is the exceedingly charming story of a precocious yet neglected young girl who learns to harness her telekinetic powers and use them to help free herself from the cruelty in her life, namely her parents and the vicious principle of her school, aka the Trunchbull.
In a nutshell, the book is fantastic, and even though its meant for fourth graders (just pretend youre buying it for your kid *wink wink*), you should definitely go ahead and read it if you havent already done so.
I have wonderful parents and my teachers were all really nice to me, but even still, after reading Matilda , I used to try to mimic her amazing powers. Instead of eating my vegetables, I would stare intensely at them, trying to will them to whiz around the room just like Matilda had done. This may sound a little strange, but lets be honest; most 9-year olds will go to some pretty extreme lengths to get out of eating their veggies, so why not trying to make them fly south for the winter?
Needless to say, my legume staring contests were incredibly anti-climatic. Yep, every last one of those beady little broccoli florets just sat there on my plate staring back at me, defiantly unresponsive to the power of my mental faculties. But for me, thats where it all started with an avid interest, some hearty determination, and a strong dislike of leafy greens.
If you are on the fence about the realness of psychic abilities, I am not going to try to force you into becoming a believer, even though through my personal experiences, I could not go through life any other way. But as I said before, the choice to believe or not to believe is entirely up to you.
My goal is simply to pass on what I think is very valuable information about the history of psychic development along with all of its current shapes and forms and to walk you through a series of mental exercises that can permit you to tap into your own innate psychic ability if you so choose.
You do not need to possess any special gifts or have a superior intellect in order to develop psychic abilities. The only thing you really need to have is an open mind. So now, before you progress any further, please ask yourself, Do I have an open mind? Do I think its possible for me to develop my own innate psychic ability? If you responded negatively to these questions, then you should probably stop reading this book immediately. However, if your responses were both Yes, then you are well on your way.
In fact, you actually may have already tapped into your innate psychic ability without even knowing it! Have you ever received a phone call and just known who was on the other end before you even picked up the receiver? (And no, looking at the Caller ID does NOT count.) Or, have you ever had a feeling in your gut, telling you either to do or not to do something that was a little out of the norm and then later found out that listening to this mysterious feeling was highly advantageous?
For example, lets say that every morning you take route A to work, but for some strange reason, your gut tells you to take route B, even though it is slower and more out of the way. Then, you come to find out there was a huge accident (that you could have been involved in) on your usual work route that particular morning.
The odds are that you have experienced something similar to what I just described at one point or another over the course of your life. Or perhaps you have had an experience of either doing or seeing something before, even though you knew this was not the case a relatively common phenomena known as dj vu (already seen).
All of these instances are basic forms of psychic, or sixth sense, experiences, and in this book, I am going to show you how to build upon these types of occurrences so that you can harness your ability to do things you may have never thought possible.
Chapter 1: A Little Bit of History
Before we get into the good stuff, I thought it would be a good idea to lay-out a little bit of the groundwork surrounding the history of psychic development so you can see that the fascination with this topic is by no means a recent occurrence.
If history isnt your cup of tea, however, then dont worry; I wont be offended if you skip ahead - even though examining what came before and understanding why and how certain events occurred is crucially important to the functioning of our society just sayin.
