24. Increasing Your Telepathic Ability
Telepathy is the ability of two people to communicate with each other without using the usual five senses. A common example of this is when a mother knows that something is wrong with one of her children, even though they might be thousands of miles apart. Telepathy often occurs spontaneously, such as when one person is in a moment of crisis and needs to contact a particular person urgently. An example of this is when someone contacts a friend or relative to say goodbye at the very moment of his or her death.
You have probably experienced many examples of mind-to-mind communication in your own life, and possibly didn’t realize what it was. Here are two examples. Have you ever had a sudden urge to contact someone you haven’t seen in years? The chances are this person was thinking of you and you picked up on the thought. Have you ever known who was calling you before you answered the phone?
You can use your pendulum to contact someone, even if the person is not carrying a cell phone and you don’t know where they are. Sit down with your pendulum and think about the person you want to contact. Ask him or her to contact you urgently. Continue thinking along these lines until your pendulum produces a strong positive response. This tells you that contact has been made. Again, ask the person to contact you right away, and then relax. If you’ve been successful, you’ll soon hear from the person you’ve been trying to communicate with.
You can make the visualization easier if you have a photograph of the person you’re trying to contact. If you don’t have a photograph, you might like to hold a piece of paper with the person’s name written on it. These can help, but they’re not essential.
Repeat this exercise as frequently as you wish until contact has been made. It’s possible that the person received your message but was unable to contact you right away. Many years ago, I tried to contact a friend, not knowing that she’d just started acting in a play. She picked up my message, but was not able to contact me until the play was over. Remain confident that the person will contact you as soon as they can.
Your pendulum can help you develop your telepathic ability. Take out five cards from a deck of playing cards. Start with an ace, two, three, four, and five, all of the same suit. Ask a friend to mix these cards, and to take out one of them. He or she concentrates on this card while you gaze at your pendulum and ask, “Is it the ace?” then “Is it the two?” and so on. The pendulum will give a negative response to four of the questions, and a positive response to one. This should be the number that your friend was telepathically sending to you.
With practice, you’ll be successful most of the time. Once you reach that state, you can alter the experiment slightly. Instead of asking questions of your pendulum, you can place it inside a drinking glass and ask it to tell you what number your friend is concentrating on. The pendulum will tap the side of the glass a number of times to indicate the number.
An interesting way to develop your telepathic ability is to send thoughts of love to someone you’re close to. Sit down somewhere you’re unlikely to be disturbed. Hold your pendulum and think of the person you wish to send love to. You might think of the last time you were in each other’s company, or a pleasant activity you enjoyed together. It doesn’t matter what you recall about the person, as long as they’re happy memories.
Tell your pendulum that you want to send love to the person, and wait for it to give your positive response. Once your pendulum has agreed, think of how much you love the person and what they mean to you. Allow these feelings to build up in your heart. When your heart feels totally full of love, swing your pendulum clockwise and ask it to send all your love to the person you’ve been thinking about.
As the pendulum spins, visualize the person receiving your love. Thank your pendulum for enabling you to send love to this person. As it gets close to stopping, say “thank you, thank you, thank you.”
The person will receive your love, but may or may not realize what has occurred. Sometimes, someone will tell you that they were thinking about you at the exact time you sent them love. You might receive a longer than usual hug or kiss the next time you meet. You may receive no response at all, but you will find that your relationship will deepen as a result of this.
You don’t need to limit this experiment to people you love. You can send love to friends, acquaintances, and even total strangers. You can even resolve longstanding problems by sending love to people you dislike or don’t get on with.
