I had certainly revisited my dream of living in the Pacific Northwest, and so had the clairvoyant who read for me; therefore, her psychic prediction—called a probability observation, in remote-viewing terms— described the most numinous outcome for us both at the moment the question, “What does my future look like?” was asked in space-time.
Complicating her reading was another factor that added to the numinosity. Soon after the reading, my husband considered a job possibility in Eugene, Oregon. Due to my uncertainty about various issues, he did not apply for the job. So the numinosity for the Pacific Northwest was very strong: not only was I attracted to the area, as was the psychic, but a choice point in my future also made living in that area of the country a very real possibility.
Because the electromagnetic brain, heart, and auric field imprint our thoughts, feelings, intentions, words, and deeds on the Akashic Record— which exists beyond time and space and yet is very much like a biofeedback device—potential futures coexist with ultimate outcomes. This potential coexistence makes it possible for an intuitive to displace information. An incorrect reading is inevitable when people change their life directions, and both the potential futures and ultimate outcomes will change accordingly.
The other three reasons that predictions fail relate to distortions in energy fields. Solar and/or geomagnetic disturbances in the earth, the reader’s fatigue or illness, and the doubt or distrust of people involved in the reading contribute to flux and static that may cause a psychic to displace.
How, then, can any intuitive be accurate? The short answer is coherence in the mind, heart, body, and spirit. Coherence, referring to internal clarity, enables the intuitive reader to pick up the resonating signal without distortion or displacement.
Remote-viewing (RV) research has pinpointed what makes intuitive inquiry, or “anomalous perception,” as RVers prefer to call it, work best. The most important factor in probability observation is the remote viewer’s (that is, the psychic’s) state of mind. Seasoned meditators with high levels of mental coherence make, by far, the best remote viewers. The highest accuracy occurs in people (like meditators) who are inwardly disciplined enough to control internally-created “noise” like mind chatter, analysis, and imaginings that might distort the psi signal.
Let’s remote-view this critical factor by zooming into the brain for a closer look at what creates mental coherence.
In the book, Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind, author Joe Dispenza, DC, explains that when we do not pay focused attention to what we are doing, the brain activates other synaptic networks that might distract us with electrical “noise” that confuses consciousness. Concentrated attention, by contrast, causes associated neurons to fire with greater strength and excites new teams of neurons to engage in the point of focus.
To be a better psychic, use your powers of concentration to create the mental coherence that increases attention and brainpower! The new science of neuroplasticity states that “What fires together, wires together.” (Originally: “Neurons that fire together wire together,” by Donald Hebb.) So it’s easy, with practice, to rewire your brain cells and circuitry—which also rewires the body—to a new way of being in the world. The highly adaptable brain accommodates our intentions and desires, whatever those might be.
Schwartz agrees that clear intention, body-mind coherence, and practice all increase “nonlocal perception,” or intuitive accuracy. “You have to actually work at it,” he emphasizes. “It’s not like a free lunch. It’s not like a good fairy comes down, waves her wand, and says, ‘Now you’re a great remote viewer.’”
“You have the innate ability,” he continues. “That’s in you. That’s just a part of being alive. But you’ve got to use it to get good at it. You’ve got to develop it as a discipline. It’s very much equivalent to a mental martial art.” (Visit my international e-newsmagazine at www.oneworldspirit.com to read a lengthy interview with Schwartz on remote viewing.)
Over the years, Edgar Cayce’s ability to receive information steadily improved, and so did the scope of that information.
Climbing the Stairway to Heaven
Since intention is the energetic force that propels the soul’s sixth sense through time and space, one simply decides whether to read the past, present, or future, and then the soul retrieves that information. Clear spiritual intention enables the soul to resonate with the non-local energy and information in the quantum sea of light that permeates and interpenetrates all of reality.
Schiller-Hanna’s teaching partner is Mary Roach, a professional intuitive whose heart-centered work brings understanding, healing, and hope to her clients from all over the world. She presented at the A.R.E. conference a powerful and effective intuitive technique that was used with great success by the people attending. I call it a “stairway to heaven,” because that’s just what it is. (See Resources at the end of this chapter.)
To use this technique, sit comfortably, close your eyes, relax, and conduct yourself through Linda’s seven steps to clarify your spiritual intention and to clear, center, and ground yourself and the other person if you’re giving a reading for someone else. After you’ve completed your preparation, begin to imagine yourself walking up a staircase while counting the steps: one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.
On the seventh step, you arrive at the landing and walk down a hallway. You see a door bearing your name or the listener’s name. Open the door and walk into the room to find the information you seek. It will come in the form of an image, symbol, or cinematic movie that gives you a message. Understand what the message means if it’s for you, or report your impressions to the recipient of the reading.
Spend as much time in this room as you want or need to. When ready, walk back down the steps one at a time and arouse yourself by wiggling your fingers and toes. Take a few deep, sharp breaths and enjoy a full-body stretch to return completely to the outside space.
This powerful intuitive technique can be used in many different ways. You might walk up the seven steps and at the landing meet an angel holding a box. Inside the box is an object or a symbol. The box may already be open; if not, open it up, and give yourself a little time to fully understand what the symbol means. If the reading is for someone else, describe the symbol. If you are reading for yourself, once you fully perceive the symbol and its meaning, walk back down the steps, open your eyes, and draw the symbol or object with colors or colored markers on a piece of paper, and then write about what you learned. Using the information will encourage your soul to give you more!
Mary Roach of Virginia Beach, VA has been a professional intuitive for more than twenty-five years. She learned how to use her natural psychic abilities in classes on psychic development and assures the reader that anyone can learn. Linda and Mary, a resonant and complementary pair of intuitives, teach together. Linda teaches how to do readings for others, while Mary focuses on accessing your own inner guidance to receive day-to-day insights and solutions.
Both of them advise people to consult a professional psychic when blocked; otherwise, depend on your psychic soul for everyday guidance. Seeking inner guidance on a daily basis is the quickest and best way to build your psychic powers and evolve your consciousness, as you will see and experience in upcoming chapters.
In readings for clients, Mary makes a heart connection with the listener and tunes in to the soul to give life-reference readings that center on past lives. She always looks
