While they were sending distance Reiki, their brainwave patterns showed a clear rise in consciousness, due entirely to the transformative power of love. Clairsentience similarly amplifies when two people have an affinity for each other. People who live together often know what the other person is thinking or feeling, and this connectedness is the reason why.
The principle in physics that governs the transmission of healing energy is sympathetic resonance, wherein similar frequencies connect and communicate with each other as in cell phones and radio telescopes. Musically, the sympathetic resonance of a fundamental frequency with multiple harmonics, as in thirds, fifths, and octaves, is called harmonic resonance. Everything in life—especially psychic perception— is governed by sympathetic and harmonic resonance.
This law of nature gives the psychic empath a means of self-protection. Since we are always in resonance with environmental energy fields, we can choose to resist them. Resistance only creates pain. Or we can surrender to the energy while producing positive emotions that shift surrounding fields, as shown in the story below.
In laboratory studies, neuroscientists working with the Mind and Life Institute studied the interaction between a placid Tibetan Buddhist monk—a longtime meditator—and an infuriated history professor who was ranting about the stupidity of the rising belief in reincarnation. The orange-robed monk continued to nod his head benevolently and smile in understanding. Soon the history professor, who had become increasingly aware of his inappropriate behavior, sat down and calmly asked the monk what he thought about reincarnation.
Serenity in the midst of a raging storm usually causes overexcited people and events to calm down, too. Sympathetic resonance works! It’s a law of physics, playing the music of the universe.
Naturally enough, psychic feelers are exceptional at psychometry, the psychic technique of attuning to objects to read their history. Vibrations travel from the hands to the energy field and then into the solar plexus and brain for perceptual processing by any or all of the psychic senses. Since everyone is a psychic feeler, anyone can succeed at psychometry.
Clairsentience is a wonderful gift that draws us to like-spirited people, places, and things. Similar, like-spirited people are drawn to us by our good vibrations. Continually monitoring our feelings keeps us moving in the safest and best directions.
The Prophetic: Psychic Knowing
The psychic sense of intuitive knowing is found in high-powered, quick-thinking people who simply know what they know. Prophetics, as Sanders terms them, don’t know how they know what they know or where the knowledge came from, but they are certain of it and will go the distance to uphold or defend their intuitive knowing. Religious prophets have had precisely this strong sense of knowing for thousands of years.
Naturally enough, prophetic insights stream into the crown of the head, according to Sanders. I haven’t seen anyone else correlate the crown chakra, a spinning wheel of physical and subtle energies, with the brain’s two parietal lobes, which are located at the crown of the head. Nevertheless, the correlation is real.
The parietal lobes govern our sense of personal separation in time and space. Researchers have found that in people meditating on compassion, the cessation of the neural stream into the parietal lobes gives rise to divine union, spiritual ecstasy, and super-ordinary psychic insights. By their consistent use of the crown chakra, prophetics might get a jump on enlightenment.
Do You Know a Prophet?
Prophetics proliferate in our busy modern society. Sanders cites a few examples. The stock broker gets a sudden intuitive “hit” on a commodity; the real estate salesman spots the serious buyer in a crowd of strangers; the business traveler knows, despite misleading timetables, which train to catch to a critical meeting. Prophetics are smart, super-charged people who operate on the “high octane” of the crown chakra.
Steve, a theoretical mathematician, university professor, and author of eleven books, is a classic prophetic, and I mildly envy him. While I, as a clairaudient, tend to question my psychic insights, Steve just knows the truth of his. Prophetics have the wonderful ability to trust and act on their knowing without the slightest doubt. And they are usually right. Sanders notes that the life of the prophetic is not always rosy. Prophetics can be impatient with people who talk or walk slowly, because, after all, they have things to do and places to go. They tend to interrupt other people’s conversations with a “Yes, I know,” because they do know what the person is going to say. Prophetics think and talk so quickly that their words jumble together. Because they are moving so fast, certain details may be ignored or pushed aside in favor of more important projects.
Prophetics may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of thoughts in their minds and the unlimited number of things that are possible for them to do; consequently, some prophetics do not accomplish much of anything. The saving grace for the “ideaphoric” prophetic is a creative project or a contemplative activity that quiets the mind. These calming activities allow this kind of person to sort things out and make a sensible plan to follow from beginning to end.
One of my favorite modern-day prophets is spiritual leader, James Twyman, who acts without hesitation on his psychic knowing. In 1995, Twyman, a former Catholic monk, dreamed about the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. He awakened with a clear vision of a project that he knew would make a difference in the world.
Being a meditator and contemplative by nature, Twyman was able to follow through with his vision. Using email blasts and the broadcast media, he asked individuals and spiritual communities throughout the world to donate swatches of material that contained vibrations of love and the intention of world peace. He received tens of thousands of colorful patches of material which, when sewn together, extended for more than a mile. He and a group of volunteers wrapped this “multicolored dream coat”—the Cloth of Many Colors—around United Nations buildings and the base of the US Capitol and Pentagon, and then transported it to countries in conflict or at war to seed peace in the world. Today, the Cloth of Many Colors project has involved hundreds of thousands of people and more than fifty countries.
Twyman prophetically knew that this project would touch the minds and hearts of peace-seekers everywhere. Because he followed through on his dream inspiration and his waking sense of prophetic knowing, individuals, churches, and government officials in the United Nations and their many countries opened to the prospect of world peace through prayer.
How can you tell if you are a psychic “knower”? You already know it.
Multisensory Remote Viewing
Although remote viewing, the art of mind travel, is typically associated with clairvoyance, it is actually a multisensory experience that relies on all of the psychic senses. The most convincing demonstration of remote viewing that I have ever seen—or even thought possible—took place in November 2003 during an historic conference, Remote Viewing: Beyond Time and Space, hosted by Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, VA. Stephan A. Schwartz, anthropologist, author, and remote-viewing pioneer, convened the scientific and military founders of remote viewing and opened the event with an experiment for the three hundred scientists and healers in attendance. (See Resources at the end of this chapter.)
Schwartz introduced two people who would serve as monitors and asked them to draw a number from the basket of a random number generator. The number drawn by the monitors directed them to one of four locations within a twenty-minute drive of the A.R.E. Schwartz led a discussion on remote viewing until the monitors phoned to let him know of their arrival at the target location. At that point he asked us to close our eyes, relax, and draw our attention to the target. “Sketch what immediately comes to mind,” he instructed.
