PS - I will have a PDF copy of these notes available for sale at my Ko-Fi shop in a week or two
I recently wrote about my
dowsing dream, and what I want to see happen out of the Psychic
Weather Reports I have been doing for several years now. I’ve decided I
will do a short online course so that what I am doing will not be lost to the
world when I pass over (and we all do).
The course, at this stage, is planned to
comprise 27 lessons grouped by the five
elements - Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Æther.
I reserve, however, the right to change the
course if I consider that necessary :)
As I have a fair bit on - in my
blogging, at my day job, in my personal work, in my personal study, and in my
personal life - I won’t commit to a particular frequency of posting these
lessons.
So let’s begin. This lesson, the first of
the series and the first for the element Earth,
which is about establishing a firm foundation, is about the evidence in support
of psychism, including what the evidence says about accuracy (hint: it is never
100%).
As with my “Magickal Battle of the
World” series, each of these will be short, to the point of being terse. I
don’t have the time or energy to do otherwise. (This series will be
intermittent - I won’t be trying to do lessons in this sequence weekly until
the “Magickal Battle of the World” series is complete.)
The first lesson is to emphasise two
points:
- psychism is real; and
- psychism can be quantitative - it can predict
amounts or quantities.
So let’s deal with that first point:
psychism is real.
I have the benefit of real life, objective,
as opposed to subjective, experience of psychism.
Let me explain those two terms.
Subjective, from https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2014/11/subjective.html:
In the context of psychism, this
refers to forms of psychism that are perceived internally (e.g., subjective clairaudience
is perceived as “voices in one’s head”).
In a more generic context, the
word also refers to matters which are a matter of personal opinion,
rather than objective, measurable fact – something ‘of the mind’.
See also "objective".
Objective, from https://gnwmythrsglossary.blogspot.com/2014/11/objective.html:
In the context of psychism, this
refers to forms of psychism that are perceived as if they are externally (e.g.,
objective clairaudience
is perceived as if people are speaking nearby – which has only happened to me
once), and to matters which are matters of fact, not opinion – e.g., whether
the physical weather is cloudy or rainy.
More generally, this
word may imply something that is measurable or a fixed fact not
subject to interpretation – more literally, ‘external to the mind’.
There was a ‘guide’
that I once read that objective clairaudience could be indicative of mental
illness. This is a dangerous guide, as mental illness could be indicated by a
wide range of things - mental health professionals are the people to consult on
that, not simplistic guides!
Furthermore, some perfectly sane people could have objective clairaudience. If
you want some sort of guide, a better one I have read of is this: is the person
in control of the clairaudience and the effect it is having on them, or is the
clairaudience having an out of control effect? As you contemplate this, be
aware that, according to this
site, 4 to 10% of people ‘hear voices’ in some way, and this
Psychology Today article says that one in three voice hearers need
help, but others may find their voices helpful. (See here,
also, for a suggestion for health professionals on this.)
The experiences I am referring to are, in
chronological order:
- at Uni I heard a voice laughing and calling my
name one night when I was in my room in the residential college, and undergoing
some depression - and that gave me a mood lift, it gave me hope to have
confirmation that there was more to life than just the physical;
- perhaps a year later, while I was still at Uni,
I was sailing my dinghy in a national championship up the coast a bit when my
eyes spontaneously rolled up, and I became aware of the people about me as
spheres of energy around 2 m in diameter - which is how I perceive souls.
My crew was quite nonplussed as we performed several manoeuvres requiring
accurate boat handling - in a fleet - while my eyes were rolled up, but he
didn’t say anything (I suspect he was too freaked out) and we didn’t
muck any of the boat handling up.
Interestingly, that event was triggered by laughter of someone nearby; and - a few years later, in the 80s now, after a
session working with crystals at the group I learned to hone a lot of my skills
(we laid on the floor and the relatively large crystals were placed on top
of us) I rolled on to my side and opened my eyes, and saw the sandal clad
feet and robe of one of my guides on the floor.
The overwhelming majority of psychic
perceptions are subjective - in the mind’s eye. Some checking is required to verify
their accuracy (but the validity level testing of sceptics), but that
checking is also required for objective perception.
I get annoyed when people try to big note
themselves by claiming their perception is objective when it isn’t: I’ve met
some people who do experience more or less continuous objective psychic
perception, and their auras are quite unique, and most of the claimants to
objective psychic are clearly either deluded or lying.
The problem those liars create is they
discourage the vast majority of us who have subjective perception, and many
give up or think they aren’t psychic because it isn’t objective.
Unless there is a particular need, those
who have objective psychism should just belt the **** up about it.
So, having got that out the way, there are
other sources: books.
I lean towards books that discuss evidence
when it comes to proof, but there are also accounts written by people who are
psychic if that is what you are looking for.
From the first group of books I would
suggest:
- “Supernature” by Lyall
Watson,
which collates and discusses a stack of scientific reports, republished by Sceptre in 2013 (Amazon);
- “The Reality of ESP: A Physicist's Proof of
Psychic Abilities”, by Russell Targ, which
gives an excellent overview of scientific evidence, pub. Quest Books 2012 (Amazon);
- “The Power of Eight: Harnessing the Miraculous
Energies of a Small Group to Heal Others, Your Life, and the World” by Lynne McTaggart,
which uses the notion of measuring outcomes, reprinted Atria Books, 2017 (Amazon);
- “A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the
Afterlife”, by Victor and Wendy Zammit,
which uses legal skills to tear apart some of the sceptics lies, published White Crow Books, 2013 (Amazon);
and
- “Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth”,
by Stuart Holroyd, pub.
Corgi,
1979 (first pub. W.
H. Allen, 1977 – may have been called “Prelude for the Landing on
Planet Earth”), ISBN 0 552 10997 5, which I wrote about here,
and contains the best analysis of psychic events I have ever read, and appears
to be completely out of print, at the moment, but you might be able to track
down a physical copy (e.g., Amazon).
In terms of people’s experiences, my
suggestions would be:
- Dawn Hill, now Dawn Shelley Thomas Hill:
“Lifting the Veil”, pub. Pan Australia (now Pan Macmillan), 1989, ISBN
0-330-27114-8;
“Reaching for the Other Side”, pub. Pan Australia (now Pan
Macmillan), 1982, ISBN 0-330-27029-X;
“Love is the Answer, What is the
Question?”, pub. Pan
Macmillan, 1996, ISBN 0 732 90847 7
“Edge of Reality” and “With a Little Help from My Fiends” (for which
I don’t have details handy);
These are hard to get now, but as a starting point try here,
here,
and you can take the ISBNs to your friendly local book seller; - “Out on a Limb”, by Shirley
MacLaine, pub. Bantam Books,
1983 (ISBN 0 533 05135 4) (Amazon);
- “Relax, It’s Only a Ghost: My Adventures with
Spirits, Hauntings and Things That Go Bump in the Night”, and other books by
Echo
Bodine,
pub. Fair Winds Press,
2001, ISBN-13 978-1931412711 (Amazon);
- “Spirit Whispers” and other books by Charmaine Wilson, pub. Fontaine Press,
2011 (Amazon);
and
- “Never Alone” by Debbie Malone , pub. Random House, 2009, ISBN
978-1-74166-675-5 (Amazon).
Having gone through that, your homework is
to do enough research - including reading - to be comfortable accepting that at
least some people are psychic.
Next lesson we’ll get into ways of
improving your psychic ability.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our MÓ•gan, 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). #PsychicABetterWorld and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM because #KindnessIsThePoint
