From my book I’m rewriting-Halfway To Heaven
Ever since he was a little boy, he could sometimes feel things that people were thinking. He sometimes he heard real words. However, he was too shy to mention anything or really try to elaborate on it. To be honest, he kind of freaked me out and I didn’t think my parents or my pastor or the people at church would get that talk from a kid who was trying to be a good Christian kid. So I kept quiet and the skill didn’t go much further. I have come to believe that telepathy is very real and many of the metaphysical books I have state over and over again that in ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria, telepathy was a commonly used accepted form of communication.
I was ready to validate that belief when I began my psychic development in the mid-1980s. I had been training for about three years and still couldn’t do full readings. I would collect impressions, images, and bits of information, but I wanted to be able to do a full psychic reading. So I named my intention, exposed it to the universe, and it was something like a week later that the most unthinkable teacher would appear; my beloved lover and friend Mary had had some powerful psychic awakenings at a weekend conference she attended. When she returned, her ‘third eye’ opened and she became highly clairvoyant overnight, one could almost say. She could also interpret dreams and to my pleasant surprise and delight she was able to teach and train me. We spent several hours a day for more than six weeks working intensively. We would cover symbology, past lives, clairvoyance, mediumship, and other topics. After about a month, Mary said: Michael, we are going to work with telepathy. We did this before in ancient Atlantis and Lemuria and we still have that ability.
“Okay, I’m ready.”
After meditating he told me to focus on an animal. See only that animal in your mind, Michael. Feel its texture and observe its color. Look him in the eye. Don’t let other thoughts or images enter your mind. You can do it. to concentrate.”
I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm my mind. I then conjured up the image of a white Persian cat and tried to see only that image while using my other senses to focus on the image I had created of the cat. Mary said, “I see white fur and I’m feeling a cat.” Is this what you’re concentrating on?”
“Yes,” I said exuberantly.
“Now I want you to focus on someone you admire. Take a look at their features. What they’re wearing. What they look like and where they might be.”
I focused on Mahatma Gandhi, whom I have admired for a long time.
A few moments later, Maria said, “I am seeing a Holy Man. Is he the one you focused on?”
“Yes, I was thinking of Mahatma Gandhi.”
“We need to relax for a few moments,” said Mary. “This takes a lot of energy and with everything else it gets easier with practice.” Then a few minutes later, she let out a little scream and a gasp. “What have you done to me, Michael? You’ve electrocuted me. There’s a red flash in your aura. You’re angry at someone.”
I blushed and realized my thoughts had strayed and I was feeling hurt and angry about a friend who recently dumped me and then just pushed me away when I confronted him. Mary said that it was her anger that created a type of electrical current that affected her.
“It felt like an electric shock. You can’t let your thoughts wander,” she chided me. This is a very fragile and delicate work. Your concentration should not waver; It has to be flawless.”
I felt so bad and was so scared by the experience that I finished our telepathy work. But I have never forgotten the experience and the potential it revealed, as well as the care we must take when engaging in telepathy exercises.
After all these years, I have come to believe that each of us is constantly engaged in various forms of telepathy with various people, even though we may be totally unaware of it. We all know some of the proverbial experiences, like when we find ourselves thinking about a friend and the phone rings or we get an email or a spur-of-the-moment visit from them. Or we call someone and they say he was just thinking about you. I believe that, to some degree, we engage in telepathy when we work with the universal law of attraction.
When I want to do more psychic readings and parties, I often extend that intention and repeat it constantly. Just the other day I said very clearly and concisely: “Spirit, please bring me a party for July.” A few minutes later the row of phones and a lady booked a party. I think she may have subconsciously picked up on my request and we tuned into each other’s energy and connected on a deeper level. It’s also possible that she was thinking of throwing a party, because she told me that she was. But it could have been my thoughts that she read and chose that pushed her to make the phone call and book the party.
I smile when I remember the time when I was flipping through the yellow pages thinking and then saying “I need a new radio show.” So when I got to Mix 94 I felt something with that and I called them. The lady on the other end of the phone howled saying, they just said we need a psychic on our show.” Maybe I was picking up on her thoughts. I remember my mother telling me many years ago that she wanted to take her mother out to dinner that night at a new restaurant in town. Mamaw thanked Mom warmly and said, “I can’t go, because Billy is calling tonight. That night, sure enough, Billy called Mamaw. Now Mom was getting a psychic impression or a premonition? Could Billy have unconsciously telepathically told Mom that he was going to call her and she unconsciously picked up on her thoughts? I’m not sure we can fully know what happens when we have such experiences. I still find them fascinating. all the same.
I think of the times when I am doing psychic readings and I receive names of people, places, and relevant information that means something to the client. I often hear names or initials and give messages about those people. Recently, at a conference where I did a ‘spirit guide’ channel, I was speaking to a lady in the audience. In my mind I heard the song “Bali Hai” from the musical South Pacific. “How interesting,” she said, “I just played that song on the piano yesterday.”
It’s a very lovely and spiritual song, I might add, that I know so I sang it.” Did some spirit guide (mine or yours) plant the thought of Bali Hai in my mind or was it the client and some form of telepathy? Could such experiences be a combination of psychic events? I think it is quite possible as I don’t believe psychic phenomena can be categorized so simply. Such unusual experiences continually convince me of the vast potential inherent in human beings…
The powers of the mind and psyche may very well know no bounds for the brave mavericks who dare to go where many dare not. Long live the mavericks and pioneers and may they constantly push bolder frontiers and bring back the knowledge and wisdom that enhances and enriches the human condition and experience. I raise a toast to each and every one of them!
