Reminder: practice exercises, online courses (including using this blog as a course), and ethics

This is just a quick reminderr that I have some practice exercises posted at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2023/09/post-no-2572-practice-exercises.html, and links to online courses (including using this blog as a course) at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/on-line-courses-on-this-blog.html. 

 

 

Also, don’t forget to do everything - including any psychic work - ethically. 

I discuss that at https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2023/05/ethics.html, but I would like to add/emphasise the following - the details of which are subject to the current laws of whatever jurisdiction you live/work in, so if you have any concerns, consult a suitably qualified/registered/experienced expert: 

• even if you do not charge people, you may be liable for the advice you give them. As an example, if you told someone to give their money to a shonky person, even if you did not charge them for telling them that, you may be liable (you SHOULD be, IMO); 

• legal protections go both ways, so you are likely also protected against attempts to blackmail or threaten you; 

• mind your Mӕgan. 

I consider many people who are not outright fraudsters get themselves into trouble because they are actually seeking emotional validation for their beliefs - especially if they wish to talk about or “demonstrate” proof (see Victor Zammit and  Dean I Radin's “The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena” [Harper One (2010), first pub. Harper Collins (2009), ISBN 978 0062029096, Amazon] on that topic before getting in to any debates/discourse). I suggest doing the emotional work to be able to move away from physical proof and live with spiritual values and ambiguity/uncertainty - you will be more effective for yourself and others, and less likely to damage the entire field that way.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,441 - A belated acknowledgement: the impact of childhood (and adult) trauma on psychic accuracy

In situations that matter, my psychic accuracy is actually pretty good - but those sorts of situations are not the ones you find in online surveys aimed at measuring how psychic you are, and I did one of those this morning. 

One of the exercises involved predicting which of several photos would appear in a window, and while doing that, I noticed that I often had two impressions, and chose the wrong one more often than not. And at that point, although there were other factors which I will also mention, one of the outcomes of being raised in the 60s by parents who believed in discipline (rarely physical) and of being an undiagnosed AuDHDer at school and in social situations, was that I had wound up with a crippling self doubt which often results in me second guessing myself, and the second guesses are often wrong - and I still have that, despite my personal growth work, perhaps partly because of subsequent trauma/complex trauma/PTSD from various circumstances (especially bigotry). 

It has been quite a few years since I acknowledged that, and i suspect I have just opened up a whole can of work for myself ... and I'm not sure it is solvable in this life. 

Ah well - I will discuss it with my counsellor 😊 

 

The other factors are the effects of disinterest on the ADHD brain - or, more accurately, the ADHD parts of my brain. 

Having just read 

“Scientists Just Confirmed What I’ve Been Saying for Thirty Years About the ADHD Brain”   https://www.hunterinafarmersworld.com/p/scientists-just-confirmed-what-ive   “And boredom, for the Hunter brain, is not a character flaw. It is a physiological state, as real and as measurable as hunger”    

I am now aware that boredom - and, I suggest, disinterest - cause the ADHD brain to more or less “go to sleep”, and I could actually notice that today as I worked my way through the online questionnaire. 

With that multiple choice of photo exercise, when I relaxed, kept the brain engaged, and took my time, my accuracy improved (and I also noticed that sometimes the two options I found myself considering might for instance, both be of birds [with no other bird photos available], or both share a distinct feature).  

When I was learning in the 80s, I was taught “always go with your first impression”, but I know from other times I have tested my sensing (e.g., with word puzzles that I like), the second impression is often more likely to be correct. 

And following this morning’s realisation, if I am self sabotaging myself, that would explain why I find determining differences in energy (to identify external, malicious influences, as opposed to internal or external beneficial influences) impossible: both may have came from me ... 

It's a challenge to find a solution to this - the survey I did was part of a course aimed at improving confidence in such matters, so I may find a solution there, but, if not, I'll have a long term project ...  

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
