E.S.P. or Perception
Part 2

(Brought To You By,...)

    Are you having difficulties?

    Let's see if we can't help you out....

    "I'm getting mixed signals/The card I'm seeing is the next card in the deck."

            Look at the card in your hand. Now, look at your other hand: Are you holding the deck in your other hand?
            Put it down!
            No wonder you're getting mixed signals: You're trying to read one card, and the one under your thumb, AND your fingers, AND every card in-between!

            Place the deck on the table, and only touch one card at a time.

If you find your abilities easily distracted, go wash your hands and start over.

            You're sitting there, trying to focus, and little niggling thoughts keep intruding: Stuff from the next room, or apartment, or the building next door.
            If you haven't shielded your home or room, do a quick, cursory version, and then arrange a date to do so in full-blown ceremony.
            If you aren't in a position to, then I guess you're going to get good at the cursory-casting.
            ~If you already have even a minor gift in this area, this will help keep the static at bay.

    "I get these flashes, and the more I grasp at it, the more it slips through my fingers. What's up?"

            You're doing what we call "Forcing a Fart".
            I try to warn in earlier pages (and I'll link them as I find them) that the pathways of the temporal lobes isn't like other senses.
            Most other senses are run through a main switchboard. ESP centers are not.
            That is why I emphasize re-learning how to "smell". It's the one sense that doesn't.
                ~Can you imagine trying to Smell something by dragging the aroma to your face?
                ~Can you honestly say you've dragged light into your eyes?
                ~You can't force a fart, out or in, without risking an issue.

            Simply relax, and let it come.
                ~Since forcing it under control doesn't help, then open your "Inner Eye" wider, to allow it a greater path.
                ~To decrease anxiety, try disassociating the data from yourself: Step outside of the event, being an observer and not participant.
                ~There could be negative associations to the data that are outside of your perception
                    ~Work on the Synethstesia Exercises, to widen your ability to process data more thoroughly, and find the missing pieces.
                    ~Work on Concentration, to keep better control of your enthusiasm, which could be interrupting the effect.
