Why is it that some people do see ghosts and psychic energies (i.e. aura) while others can’t do this? Sceptics tend to say that it’s impossible to see ghosts even if they exists because if most people can’t see them, yet they appear on photos and videos, then they must be visible in a specific light spectrum and our eyes are unable to pick it up. Therefore, people who do see ghosts must have something “wrong” with their eyes. But after checking this out, it’s clear to everyone their eyes are fine. So, the question remain, therefore, allow me to present you with the most fascinating psionics theory explaining this weird phenomena.

Brain is making tricks

Everyone who ever tried to dig deeper into science of psionics (let’s call it psionics science, hmm) will already be familiar with the simple fact that our brain is often tricking us, making us see things that aren’t there – it’s especially visible when someone expect to see something – because this person expect this, the brain will create the image being expected, even if it’s not really there. As you probably already know, our eyes are picking up the image, then electrical impulses are being send through nerves to the back of the brain where the sight sense is located – in a matter of speaking. Then impulses are being translated during complex chemical reactions into an image, that is a combination of an actual picture picked up by our eyes, with our knowledge and experiences gathered during our life.

During this chemical reactions, additional information might be added to what we will “see” – sometimes because eyes didn’t picked up the fragment of the whole image and the brain is trying to fill up the hole, and sometimes because we want to see something – it’s that simple. If you want to pursuit the matter further and experience it yourself, type “optic illusion” in Google :). To all those pseudo-sceptics beginning to rub their hands, please calm down – it’s not what you think it is :).

OK, so now we know the brain can make us see things that aren’t really there. Now we need an element that will help us use our psychic abilities, instead of hallucinating – here is where our psychic sensitivity enter the game.

Making a use of the gift

Psychic sensitivity, our psychic sense (the sixth sense) is the ability to pick up psychic information floating around: information about future, telepathic signals, negative and positive energies, runic energies, residual energies, ghosts and spirits – to make things simpler, let’s mix them together and call them the “ESP Field“. Understand, that all information can be acquired from this ESP Field via psychic means.

So, with psychic sense, a sensitive person can pick up different information floating around, like:

1. Shape and size of the energy field – simple example here: ghosts and spirits, in order to stay “alive”, need to feed with psychic energies – they’re literally “sucking” it from the surrounding area, it can be sensed as the famous “cold spots”. Sensitive person can pick up the exact shape and size of such cold spot.
2. Appearance of person or clothes – when it comes to residual energies (i.e. hauntings) information had been recorded and therefore, they can be picked up with psychometric means. Similar thing apply to conscious spirits, but information in this case are being transmited via telepathic means (a form of telepathic projection).

How is it that a spirit can project such information? Well, the theory says that spirits that still walk the Earth prefer to stick with their human form, and this include clothes too. Also, many spirits don’t really know they’re dead, so it’s pretty logical that they imagine themselves as they would be still alive.

Anyway, this way, we have two crucial elements of the puzzle.

Time to bring them together

Information are being picked up by psychic sense, and they’re getting into our brain (which is still our primary thinking device, heh). Inside, the brain is getting lost, he shouts “What the heck, how did I picked up this?” – it’s getting confused, and it has two ways of dealing with the problem. First, the brain can ignore the sensations coming from the unknown source, and this way, the person won’t experience anything but a confusion, or a weird feeling, caused by the brain being confused.

The second way is the psychic way – the brain will try to interpret the new information and assign already acquired knowledge and experiences, like this: “OK, this shape look like a hat, so let’s pick up the first image of a hat from our memory storage and assign it to the information… First image is a red hat, so here we have – a nice red hat, hah! NEXT!” :). Yea, that’s pretty the way it works. Based on things you already know, the brain will try to make a sense of the information picked up by the psychic sense. Et voila!

This theory explain many weird things, like for example:

1. Shadow People – because these entities might be very unhuman, the only thing brain can assign to this is a black shape of a humanoid (“this weird shape look like a humanoid”).
2. Mist apparitions – not enough information are being projected by the spirit.
3. “Real Life” ORBS - a ball of energy is flying around ;).
4. Flaring and seeing aura – I don’t have to explain, do I?

Isn’t this simple? Odin bless the gifted people! :)

Applying the theory in psychic development

What people call the “gift” is in reality – a confused brain. The fact people with the “gift” pursuit the psychic development matter further and they’re becoming professional psychics have nothing to do with their advanced psychic abilities, but with the fact their confused brain can already see psychic energies and spirits, which is making things much more easier. You don’t have to think “I think there is a energy between my hands”, but you actually see the energy. Don’t you think it’s damn easy to manipulate it when you can already see it?

People who can’t see spirits and psychic energies, who still want to develop in psychic field (people like me), should understand two things: first is that they already have the psychic potential, and the second that they have to take the hard way and they have to learn how to trick the brain, before it will trick them :). The point is to teach the brain when he should “project” images when picking up psychic sensations. Even if this sounds trivial, I still haven’t figured out how to make this. Two ideas:

1. Practise Aura View – try to sense the aura, and “manually” assign images to the sensations.
2. Practise psiball flaring – again, try to manually assign images.

Any other method is yet for me to discover.

Now you are familiar with this fascinating theory. What do you think? Also, do you have any ideas as to how to teach the brain? Post your thoughts in comments!
