Have you ever had a Psychic Driving Experience? Maybe you have and you never even noticed it. Sometimes I’m in the car, and I stop at a yellow-turning into a red light. And if there is a car on my left I’ll sometimes slowly turn my head and look at the person in the car. Here’s what’s weird. Almost nine times out of ten, when I look over there is someone else either turning their head to look at me, or else they are already looking at me. Not psychic enough for you? I remember I was in the car with an old friend and we were about to turn left into an empty street. And I said to my friend, “Hold up a second,” and my friend asked, “What’s up?” And while he asked that a car drove super fast, blazing by at rapid speed. It totally could have crashed into us. Still not psychic enough for you? Back in the day I was listening to Alice in Chains, “Man in the Box” over and over again. And during that week I was eating a ton of bananas because bananas seem to always get ripe around the same time. I was doing the dishes, putting away the glassware. I was putting some drinking glasses away into the cupboard and the glass in my hand was a little bit wet from the dishwasher. Then when I put the glass down on the shelf I had this feeling. It was kind of like, “You can move this.” And so I put my hand near the glass but I didn’t touch it. Then I concentrated on moving the glass with my mind. No joke the glass moved about an inch or so in the cupboard. I thought to myself, “Whoa.” I tried to reproduce the effect but I couldn’t.
Anyway I ate three bananas today and so that made me think about psychic stuff. I was looking up psychic quizzes on the internet and one was taking so long to load I thought, “I sense that I will…NOT wait for this page to load and will navigate away!”
Check this out: Time Travel. Whenever you think about what you want to do and imagine yourself doing it that’s one thing. But if you actually imagine yourself doing something in the future and then you actually manifest yourself doing that very thing. That’s almost time travel. The reason why I say that is because reality is only a mixture of sensory input that we experience. So if you can experience in your mind exactly what you are going to do in the future, there is almost no difference between the two and it is as if you Time Traveled to that very moment. This is an artform and something that must be practiced. The “Secret” and all those movies that try and tell you that you can get whatever you want by just thinking it try to touch on this piece of information, but they charge you $19.99 for it. They also sugar coat it for you, they try to act like getting what you want doesn’t take work. And people listen to that and gladly hand over a few buck and then get frustrated because they didn’t get exactly what they wanted from it. Here’s the whole deal broken down in a couple sentences and for a lot cheaper.
First, pick a target. By target, I mean choose an actual experience that you know you could attain during your lifetime. You may be thinking, “I want a million dollars.” It doesn’t work like that. You need to actually pick an EXPERIENCE. But that doesn’t mean a million dollars can’t be a part of it. So a possible example may be, “I see myself selling one of my houses for 1.7 million dollars. And I feel OK about it.” Can you see how that’s different? You’re actually doing something. But I don’t think the house thing is the best way to start with this. I’d start with something that is achievable in the short term, so you can hone your skills. For myself I was blogging every day, but I wanted to start blogging twice a day minimum. So I actually visualized myself blogging twice a day or more. I imagined myself sitting in my desk chair, drinking San Pelligrino and maybe a Starbucks drink. Having my headphones on. Listening to music. Can you see how this is a more complete visualization? And then here’s the trick to it. After the visualization is complete, actually do exactly what you set out to do WITHOUT FAIL. Don’t let anything get in your way. Complete the visualization. That’s the key. It’s kind of like opening a worm hole to another time. Let the actual work getting you there be the fun part, and focus on the goal. So I did that and it worked so now I’m moving on the bigger things. For example I had real trouble contacting one of the professors of my school to help me figure out my graduation issue. And I just visualized that I was going to call him during the day on a Tuesday and he’d give me the thumbs up on my request. And I called him multiple times to no avail. Then finally I did it again and it looks like I have the go ahead to complete my last two classes and graduate this Spring 2011. It’s pretty cool. So now I am imagining myself working out the details to getting my diploma mailed to me. I am actually visualizing myself calling the person in charge about making sure the diploma gets mailed to my Orange County address instead of my old San Francisco address. I’m going to make that happen. Just as a side note. This is my third blog post today. We’re talking bonus stage here people.
I visualized when I was going to be ASB President of my High School when I was in 8th grade. I saw the current ASB President at that time give a speech. And I said, “I’m going to do that.” Now, there are things that I’ve visualized that haven’t come to fruition yet. For example, I wanted to have my own spaceship by now. And in reality I drive a 4 cylinder car. So I have a long way to go on that one. Am I giving up? No way.
