Preface

By Joe H. Slate, Ph.D.

This jointly authored book introduces the contributions of Carl Llewellyn

Weschcke to the revised version of my earlier book, Psychic Empowerment

(1995). This book is, however, far more than simply a revised and expanded

version of an earlier work. Woven throughout the book are the advanced threads

of psychic empowerment that only Carl Weschcke can provide. As the

universally acclaimed Father of the New Age, he is rapidly gaining recognition

as the Father of Psychic Empowerment, a title he has earned many times over

through his writing and contributions to the publishing world. His unparalleled

success as founder and now as chairman of Llewellyn Worldwide is a testament

to his commitment to make psychic empowerment an attainable reality for

everyone. I am indeed honored to be his coauthor in this effort to achieve that

important goal.

We now know that psychic empowerment, rather than being a theoretical

possibility, is a measurable, though complex, process of personal evolvement.

Using the tools and techniques presented in this book, you can accelerate that

process by accessing your dormant inner potentials and activating them to enrich

the quality of your life. Beyond that, you can become the master builder of an

endless tower of power to the great beyond, a tower that connects you to the far

reaches of the cosmos and the entire powers underlying it. Built of the finest

materials—those found in your own being—the tower of power can become

your empowerment connection to the boundless resources of the great beyond.

It’s a tower that brings you into balance and constant attunement to the universe.

This book goes beyond the mere presentation of information and beliefs about

psychic phenomena by offering rational explanations of the “unexplained” and

focusing on the personal benefits of the psychic experience. It explores a host of

psychic tools and formulates effective techniques for applying them. It

systematically develops the psychic empowerment perspective by focusing on

our inner potentials and our ability to develop and apply them.

This book holds steadfastly to the belief that every individual is a person of

incomparable worth, endowed with the potential for greatness. It explores a host

of psychic tools and develops effective techniques for applying them. Presented

at the end of the book is a “Journey of a Lifetime” Development Program, which

organizes the seminal concepts of psychic empowerment into an accelerated,

step-by-step program for the systematic development of your psychic potentials.

While the centerpiece of this book is personal empowerment, we recognize the

critical importance of global empowerment. Global empowerment must begin

somewhere. Becoming personally empowered can be seen as the first step

toward empowering the globe and making the world a better place for present

and future generations. In its exploration of the essential concepts, this book

attempts to strike a reasonable balance between scientific objectivity and

practical application. The inner sources of power perceive the existence of other

planes. While they may remain largely unknown, they are nonetheless receptive.

This power recognizes the complexity of our makeup as mental, physical, and

spiritual beings and the capacity of each to influence the other. The pinnacle of

psychic empowerment is the promotion of our personal evolvement while

contributing to the greater good. Accepting the task of making this world a better

place for present and future generations is a major goal of this book.

Introduction

Psychic empowerment is for everyone. Once empowered, you can overcome all

barriers to your growth and turn even the most difficult problems into exciting

new growth opportunities. You’ll discover that fear, insecurity, inferiority, and

doubt all yield to the empowered self. Now as never before, you can make

empowerment a reality in your life.

Knowledge is power, and psychic knowledge is power at its peak. Psychic

knowledge is relevant mentally, physically, psychically, and spiritually as well as

culturally and globally. It has relevance even on a universal and multiuniversal

scale. Here are but a few examples of the empowerment possibilities of psychic

knowledge:

Foreword

What is “Psychic Empowerment”? That’s what you’re going to read about in this book, but it’s not just one

thing but many. There are many subjects we can group under “Psychic” and we can ask many questions

about what we mean by “Empowerment.”

But, we can’t just define “Psychic” by the many subjects it encompasses (some of which are listed below)

any more than we can comfortably define as “Physical” by listing all the subjects from Astronomy (and

Astrology) to Hatha Yoga and Zoology that the physical world encompasses. And the same is true of words

(and worlds) like “Mental” and “Spiritual.”

The reality is that each person has physical aspects and psychic aspects, as well as mental and spiritual.

You have a physical body, you have a mind, and most people believe they have a soul or spirit. The reality

is that you also have innate psychic powers and attributes, but they are often underdeveloped because we

have a primarily material viewpoint of the world we live in.

This book is giving you a new perspective, and it is also providing you with the means to develop your

psychic powers and attributes. And we’re going to show you that, in doing so, you are going to become

more than you are—you are going to grow and develop into the whole person you are intended to be.

For each chapter described here in the Table of Content, we’re going to list some interesting statistics

taken from Amazon and Google, but for this Foreword there really isn’t one specific subject to relate to, so

we’re just going to give a broad selection of the same information. If you walk into a bookstore and look for

books related to Psychic Empowerment, you are going to end up in the New Age section. New Age is a

bookstore category for books also classified under “Body, Mind, and Spirit” or “Metaphysical,” and

sometimes “Self-Help.” It includes Astrology and Witchcraft, Parapsychology and Hypnosis, Magick and

Spell-casting, and a whole lot of other subjects.

Contents include: The “New Age” is Real!; Dr. Joe H. Slate, Pioneering Parapsychologist; If Everyone is

Psychic … ; To Become More Than You Are; Four Major Empowering Principles; Demystifying the

Paranormal; Discover a New World of Your Own; Mind over Matter—Every Day; Tomorrow as

Probability; But What about Astrology, and Palmistry?

There’s nothing very accurate about these numbers because the subjects themselves are not well defined

and include duplications from related (in the eye of the programmer) subjects. But numbers are interesting.

Introduction

Part One: Consciousness-Expanding Techniques for Psychic Development

You are, by nature, psychic. The central theme of this book is the development of psychic empowerment

through practice and firsthand experience. Psychic empowerment is a continuous process of growth and

self-discovery. In the empowered state, you can achieve your loftiest goals and improve the quality of your

life. Equipped with knowledge and related skills, you can at last take full command of the forces—both within

and beyond—that affect your life. You can accelerate learning, improve memory, increase creativity, solve

complex problems, overcome debilitating fears, promote better health and fitness, break unwanted habits,

and even slow the aging process. On a larger scale, you can contribute to the greater good and make the

world a better place for present and future generations.

Contents include: Empowerment Possibilities of Psychic Knowledge; Threefold Premise of Psychic

Empowerment; The Psychic Empowerment Perspective; Four Empowering Principles; The Psychic

Empowerment Hierarchy; Psychic Empowerment Programs; Self-discovery, Commitment, Investment;

Guidelines to Psychic Empowerment.

Chapter One: Extrasensory Perception: Out of the Lab into the Real World

Extrasensory perception (ESP) is knowledge of or response to events, conditions, or situations—past,

present, or future—independently of known sensory mechanisms or processes. While not yet fully

understood, ESP is one of our most valuable channels for experiencing the inner and outer realities of our

existence. Bypassing ordinary sensory functions, it can directly engage realities that are otherwise unavailable to us.

In its capacity to send and receive both thoughts and feelings through telepathy, ESP can expand our

communication capacities, promote productive interactions, and provide information, often from a great

distance, otherwise unavailable to us. In its capacity to perceive spatially distant realities through

clairvoyance, ESP can dramatically expand our world of awareness and uncover critical sources of new

knowledge and power. In its capacity to perceive the future through precognition, ESP can provide

advanced awareness that equips us to prepare for future events and, in some instances, to influence or

prevent them altogether.

Contents include: Empowering Effects of Psychic Knowledge; The Developmental Nature of ESP; Factor

X; Becoming Psychically Empowered; Positive Self-Talk; Psychic Empowerment Through Self-Talk—

Telepathy, Precognition, Clairvoyance; The Power of Mental Imagery; Mental Imagery and the Palm

Viewing Exercise; The Finger Interlock Technique; Extrasensory Interactions with the Spirit Realm; ESP

and the Dream Experience; Beyond Dreaming.

Amazon lists 793 titles for Extrasensory Perception. Google lists 223,000 results for Extrasensory Perception.

Chapter Two: Astral Projection & the Out-of-Body Experience

Astral projection is the greatest adventure in consciousness we can have while still living in our physical

body. It offers proof that being within the physical body is necessary to know, to feel, to love, to live, and to

fulfill the great plan of growing and evolving to become more than we are. We are beings of consciousness

sometimes inhabiting physical bodies that we can learn to leave at will, to travel in time and space, and tap

into memory archives and knowledge banks even greater than those of Internet search engines. Going

outside of the physically limited brain consciousness enables the soul traveler to enter the heaven worlds,

meet and communicate with deceased loved ones, receive guidance from spiritual counselors, and even to

intervene in the physical world, often healing the body of disease.

Contents include: What is Astral Projection? The Astral Body and the Astral Plane; Macrocosm and

Microcosm; Mathematical Measurement Prefixes and their Meanings; Vibration Ranges of Different

Phenomena; Infrasonic to Very Low Frequency (VLF) Waves, Magnetism and Gravity; Physical Senses—in

Vibrations per Second; Brain Waves in Vibrations per Second; Earth’s Schumann Resonant Frequency;

Electromagnetic Spectrum, Longer Waves; Super high frequencies (SHF)—Microwaves; Infrared, Heat;

Visible Light (visible to human physical sight); Ultraviolet; Spirit Light (visible to human, psychic, sight);

Gamma and Cosmic Rays; Seven Planes of Solar System and Seven Levels of the Human Structure;

Physical and Etheric Planes and Bodies; Astral Plane and Body; Mental Plane and Body and Causal Body;

Buddhic Plane and Body; Atmic Plane and Body; Monadic Plane and Monad; Adic Level and Divine

Spark; Levels of Consciousness, Soul and Spirit, and the Whole Person; The Evolutionary Plan of the

Psyche; A New Way of Thinking; Inducing the Out-of-Body Experience; the Copper Penny; Destination

Control; Home Territory; Eye-Blink Procedure; Astral Flight.

Amazon lists 711 Astral Projection titles, 284 for Astral Travel, 67 for Astral Sex, and 487 for Out-of-

Body Experience. Google lists 993,000 results for Astral Projection, 638,000 for Astral Travel, and

1,060,000 for Astral Sex.

Chapter Three: Auras: Seeing & Reading What Can’t Be Hidden

The human aura is a developmental, life-sustaining energy force that surrounds, penetrates, vitalizes, and

characterizes every human being, animal, entity, and object. It has shape, form, and color that reveals

consciousness, health, character and substance. This chapter shows how to see, read, and interpret the aura,

including your own.

Contents include: What is an Aura? Of What Value is the Aura? Man vs. Machine; Seeing the Aura

Instructions; To See Your Own Aura; More than One Aura; Colors in the Aura; Chakra Names, Colors,

Associated Planets, and Tattwas; Aura: Interpretation of Colors, Their Intensity, and Their Location;

Interpreting the Aura; Magical Mirror of the Universe; Sphere of Sensation; Functions of the Aura System;

Self-Perception and Cosmic Centering Procedure; The Aura Self-Massage Procedure.

Amazon lists 6,159 Aura titles. Google lists 104,000,000 results.

Chapter Four: The Chakra System: Spinning Wheels of Psychic Power

Chakras are not physically real but are the energy “transformers” between the physical and the nonphysical,

and are vital to body, mind, and spirit. They are located on the surface of the Etheric Double but have subtle

connections with certain glands and nerve complexes in the physical body and particular energy centers in

the astral body. The Etheric Double is created in advance of birth and functions as a matrix for the

developing physical body. No matter the cause, diseases first show up in the astral body, flow down into the

Etheric Double, and then manifest in the physical body. This is why etheric or “energy healing” can be so

effective through the hands of a competent healer acting early in the disease process. Once disease

manifests in the physical body, physical treatments are usually necessary but can be supplemented from the

ether/energy level as well.

Contents include: Out-of-Body Chakras—Location, Color, and Function; The Etheric Double; Physical

Matter Exists in Seven Orders of Density; Functions of the Four States of Etheric Matter; Energies: Fohat,

Kundalini, Prana; Primal Energies of the Universe; The Chakras; The Primary Chakra System; Grounding

Exercise; The Base Chakra (Muladhara) Correspondences; Appreciation Exercise; Energy Flows from

Sacral Chakra; The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) Correspondences; Self-Control Exercise; The Solar

Plexus (Manipura) Correspondences; The Love Exercise; Heart Chakra (Anahata) Correspondences; Selftruth

Exercise; Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) Correspondences; Seeing Divinity Exercise; Brow Chakra

(Ajna) Correspondences; Self-Surrender Exercise; Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) Correspondences; The

Nature of Psychic Development; Chakra Development Exercises; Kundalini Rising; Nine Main Siddhis;

Eight Primary Siddhis; Ten Secondary Siddhis; Five Siddhis of Yoga and Meditation.

Amazon lists 4,335 Chakra titles. Google lists 6,540,000 results.

Chapter Five: Clairvoyance: Seeing Beyond Your Nose

Clairvoyance is a psychic technique traditionally defined as the perception of tangible objects, current

events, or existing conditions not present to the physical senses, but nevertheless having objective reality.

Unlike sensory perception, clairvoyance requires no stimulation of sensory mechanisms, and is not subject

to the limitations of conventional sensory experience. The spontaneous clairvoyant experience usually

provides the means to action.

Complementing inner-clairvoyance as a source of personal insight and power are our clairvoyant

interactions with the spirit realm, which often manifests its presence through sensory channels. Frequently,

dreams provide the channel for clairvoyant knowledge. Dream mechanisms promote a subconscious

transfer of information to conscious awareness. Common among the dream’s clairvoyant functions is the

delivery of information concerning urgent situations.

Meditation exercises that focus on creative imagery seem particularly conducive to clairvoyant

empowerment. The third eye, a chakra thought to be connected to the pituitary gland and associated with

clairvoyance, appears particularly responsive to meditation strategies that engage the mind’s imagery

powers. The Third Eye Exercise given here was specifically designed to develop that faculty.

Contents include: Inner-clairvoyance; Clairvoyance and the Spirit Realm; Clairvoyance and Dreams;

Clairvoyant Strategies; Third Eye Exercise.

Amazon lists 2,645 Clairvoyance titles. Google lists 1,890,000 results.

Chapter Six: Remote Viewing: Psychic Research or “Voodoo Warfare”

Remote Viewing is the purported ability to gather information about a distant or unseen target by means of

extrasensory perception. Typically, a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object that is

hidden from physical view and separated at some distance. Several programs sponsored by the CIA, US

Army, the Air Force, and others actively explored distant clairvoyance and astral projection during the Cold

War between the old Soviet Union and the United States.

Contents include: Remote Viewing and the Cold War; Astral Projection or Clairvoyance; Methods for

Remote Viewing; Astral Projection Program; Clairvoyance Program; Programming for Remote Vision.

Amazon lists 157 Remote Viewing titles. Google lists 3,350,000 results.

Chapter Seven: Dream Interpretation and Intervention

Dreams are always purposeful and empowerment driven. They are, however, often cloaked in symbolism or

other forms of disguise, thus challenging us to discover their meanings and apply them. Paradoxically, the

absence of transparency in the meanings of dreams actually increases their empowerment potential. By

nature we place higher value on new knowledge requiring effort and involvement. Knowledge too easily

acquired is often cast aside as unworthy of serious consideration.

Although dreams have been with us forever, only in recent years have we developed effective dream

empowerment programs connecting us to the enormous resources of the subconscious. With new

understanding of dreams as expressions of the subconscious, a new dream technology is clearly emerging.

As Shakespeare noted, “We are the stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep!”

The typical dream experience is energized by not only our subconscious motives but new growth

possibilities as well. By accurately interpreting our dreams, we can increase awareness of our subconscious

resources and activate totally new growth processes. Self-enlightenment and self-empowerment become the

twofold goal of dream interpretation.

Advanced dream intervention programs have been developed in the laboratory setting and are now

available for use by everyone in solving personal problems, accelerating learning, overcoming blockages,

improving memory, slowing aging, increasing creativity, activating out-of-body travel, and interacting with

the spirit realm. Dreams deliver new insights for solving complex problems. Aside from their problemsolving

functions, dreams are often psychic in nature. Almost everyone recalls having a precognitive dream

that later came true, or a clairvoyant dream that expanded awareness of an existing situation or condition,

often at a distant setting. Aside from these, telepathic dreams in which messages are sent and received

between dreamers are not uncommon.

Contents include: Dreams are Always Purposeful and Empowerment Driven; The Nature of Dreams;

Dream Interpretation Guidelines; Dream Intervention Programs; The Finger Spread; Solar Plexus Rest;

Arm Lift Technique; Pre-sleep Meditation; and a concise Dream Symbols Dictionary.

Amazon list 2,065 Dream Interpretation titles. Google lists 3,330,000 results

Chapter Eight: ESP Programs & Psychic Empowerment

A cardinal principle of psychic empowerment holds that psychic potentials exist in everyone and can be

developed through appropriate programs. Common to those programs are the following three essentials.

Motivation: Given motivation, you become goal oriented and focused in your pursuit of psychic

empowerment. Learning: Through your exploration of various psychic concepts, exercises, and

development programs, you will discover the knowledge that’s essential to your psychic growth and

development. Practice: The necessity.

In developing your psychic potentials, there is no substitute for practice. Through practice using various

exercises and programs, you will discover the tools and techniques that work best for you. Through

continued practice, you will develop your psychic powers to their peak.

Contents include: Essentials for Discovery and Development of Psychic Powers; Conscious vs.

Subconscious; General Psychic Development; The X Position; Mind/Body Interactions; Telepathy,

Clairvoyance, and Precognition: Exercises for Growth; Psychic Balance and Attunement Technique;

Empowerment-at-Once Procedure.

Amazon lists 6,179 ESP titles. Google lists 68,600,000 (many of these have nothing to do with

Extrasensory Perception but rather a guitar company of that name).

Chapter Nine: Magic, Ritual, & Shamanism: Ancient Practices of Psychic Empowerment

Rituals are basic to civilized life, and many of them have their foundations in magical theory and come

down to us through mythic origins. Most rituals mark turning points in life and are, in essence, “initiations”

aiding in our transformation from onestate or status into another state or status. Other rituals are

celebrations that express the natural rhythms of life and of the seasons. Without these rituals, we would lose

attunement to the stages of life and of nature.

Other rituals are esoteric, as in Masonry, Organized Religion, and Magickal groups, and involve the

arousal and direction of psychic forces for particular purposes, often transformative psychologically and

spiritually. These rituals, knowingly or not, employ hypnosis and utilize established symbols and substances

to infuse special energies into the process.

Most rituals can be practiced solitary and involve self-hypnosis. The lack of group energy is compensated

for with particular exercises drawing upon the unlimited power of the Cosmos. Gerald Gardner and the

Eight Paths to the Center are discussed in detail, along with the principles of Shamanism. The principles of

hypnosis and self-hypnosis are given, along with the practices of invocation and evocation.

Contents include: Rhythm and Pattern in Ritual; Esoteric Rituals; Hypnosis; Hypnosis in Ritual Settings;

Conscious Participation in Group Rituals; Self-Hypnosis; Prayer and Spells; The Magic of Faith; Extra-

Consciousness; Shamanic Techniques and Experiences, and The Eight Paths to the Center in Witchcraft;

Programming for Self-Directed Rituals and Self-Hypnosis; The Principles of Induction; Belief and

acceptance; Induction Aids; Security and confidence; The Right Time; The Key Steps in the Induction

process: Preparation; The Relaxation Process; Invoking your SubConscious Mind; Script for Developing

your ESP and PK Potentials; Script for Interacting with Spirit Guides; Script for Developing your

Mediumistic Powers; Script for Discovering Higher Planes of Power.

Amazon lists 78,350 Magic titles (5,142 for Magick), 26,615 for Ritual, and 2,151 for Shamanism.

Google lists 271,000,000 results for Magic, 2,980,000 for Magick, 34,000,000 for Ritual, and 1,540,000 for Shamanism.

Chapter Ten: Precognition: Tomorrow As Probability

The ability to perceive the future independently of presently known predictive circumstances exists to some

degree in everyone. The future is not fixed but exists only in varying degrees of probabilities, ever

dependent on past and present realities. Personal consciousness interacts with those future probabilities to

generate a mind/future interaction that not only “sees” the future but influences it, bringing about desired change.

By developing our ability to interact with the time continuum, we can not only access the future through

precognition but dip into the past through retrocognition. While the past can’t be changed, increased

knowledge of that dimension can alter our perceptions of the present and empower us to more effectively shape the future.

Precognitive awareness is activated deliberately through certain procedures and techniques, some of

which were developed in the controlled laboratory setting. To deny our capacity to experience the future

through precognition is to eliminate one of the most important gateways to new knowledge, growth, and

power. Fortunately, procedures are now available to develop our precognitive capacities and apply them as

personal empowerment resources.

Hypnotic age progression has demonstrated unusual effectiveness in identifying future events of both

personal and global significance. The program uses self-hypnosis to induce the trance state, during which

awareness flows with ease along the time continuum until it is arrested either voluntarily or spontaneously

to engage areas that command special attention. This approach is especially effective in identifying future

happenings that can be either prevented or minimized through appropriate intervention measures. Crises

related to business and personal concerns are particularly receptive to this approach.

Contents include: Precognition and the Subconscious; Precognitive Role of the Subconscious; The

Precognitive Reality Slip; Empowerment at its Peak; Precognition and Psychic Empowerment; Precognitive

Development; Future Probe Program; The Future Screen Program; The Doors to the Future Program;

Precognitive Review Program; Hypnotic Age Progression.

Amazon lists 2,129 titles. Google lists 405,000 results.

Chapter Eleven: Psychokinesis: A Holistic View: Mind Over Matter—Every Day

PK is the ability to move or influence physical objects without physical intervention. From a holistic

perspective, it becomes increasing conceivable that the teleportation of materials and matter to distant

destinations is a reasonable reality awaiting our discovery and poised for unfoldment.

Within our definition of PK is the assumed capacity of PK to influence not only external conditions but

also physiology, including the most critical systems and organ functions. The capacity of PK to intervene

physiologically has been dramatically illustrated in the biofeedback setting, where increased awareness of

biological processes led to the ability to mentally control them, including blood pressure, muscular tension,

migraine and tension headaches, heart rate, and brainwave patterns. Given these powers of the mind over

the body, PK interventions that promote wellness and healing become reasonable possibilities.

Aside from these, lab studies offered convincing evidence of the capacity of PK to slow the aging

process, and in some instances to literally reverse the effects of aging.

Contents include: PK in the Laboratory; Reality PK; The Deliberate Induction of PK; Stages of Induced

PK; PK Bombardment Drill; PK and Wellness; Mind-Body Interaction for Wellness; The Wellness

Activation Program; PK and Rejuvenation; PK Rejuvenation Principles; Rejuvenation PK Program.

Amazon lists 193 titles. Google lists 238,000 results.

Chapter Twelve: Reincarnation & Past-Lives Enlightenment

Our past-life experiences remain forever with us for a purpose. But rather than being automatically

available to us at the beginning of each lifetime, they challenge us to retrieve them and discover their

relevance for ourselves. Only then can we integrate them into our present lifetime. It’s through concentrated

effort and self-discovery that we learn and grow. It’s then that knowledge of the past becomes power for the

present. It’s then that we uncover totally new potentials to be realized and enjoyed. Once we discover them,

our past-life achievements in particular can build feelings of worth and well-being. We become less

constricted in our self-identity and more at one with the universe.

The most effective self-hypnosis program for past-life enlightenment is called Past-life Corridor, which

uses a combination of age-regression and past-life regression. The procedure introduces the concept of a

Past-life Corridor of many doors with each door representing a past lifetime. Additional programs explore

preexistence and life-between-lives.

Knowing that you do live forever and are constantly growing and learning—forever becoming more than

you are—gives significant meaning and justification to life.

Contents include: The Multiple Dimensions of Personal Existence; Interacting with the Subconscious;

Self-hypnosis and Past-life Regression; Past-life Regression Self-hypnosis Procedures; EM/RC and Pastlife

Corridor Regression Program; Sleep Intervention Program; Preexistence and Life-Between-Lives;

Exploring Preexistence; Life between Lifetimes; Benefits of Preexistence Regression; Past-life Regression and ESP.

Amazon lists 4,416 Reincarnation and 73 Past Lives Regression titles. Google lists 4,410,000 results for

Reincarnation and 898,000 for Past Lives Regression.

Chapter Thirteen: Sigils: Pictures That Work

A picture may be worth a thousand words as stated in an ancient Chinese proverb quoted again and again. A

specifically created drawing of a particular thing or idea may be worth many thousands of words in

clarifying our understanding of it. A sigil may be worth more than words because it is a magical formula

charged with energy to do a certain kind of work.

As you will see, the “modern” form of sigil magick is very similar to the practice of self-hypnosis

involving specific goals expressed in affirmation form. Both sigil magick and traditional self-hypnosis are a

kind of programming to mobilize the resources of the subconscious mind to accomplish your objectives.

Contents include: What are Sigils? Traditional Sigils; The Rose Matrix for Sigil Magick; The Modern

Sigil; Sigils in Practical Magick; Sigils and Thoughtforms; Principles of Sigil Magick; Magick in Theory

Amazon lists 383 titles. Google lists 147,000 results.

Chapter Fourteen: Telepathy: The Power of Self-Talk in Self-

Empowerment, Mind-to-Mind Messaging, & Global Communication

Telepathy is communication without physical limitations and surpassing even the most advanced

communication technology. It includes not only the sending and receiving of thought messages but the

emotions and motives underlying them. It can even include the transference of positive energy.

All social interactions include a spontaneous telepathic component that can promote productive

interactions by enriching the communication process. In the group setting, the communication process as

well as the productiveness of the group can be strongly influenced by telepathic interactions.

The sender in the communication system has two major functions: first, formulating the message in some

appropriate encoded form, notably imagery, words, symbols or a combination of these, and second, sending

the encoded message. The receiver in the communication system likewise has two major functions: first,

receiving the encoded message and second, decoding it.

Similar to self-hypnosis, inner-telepathy empowers us to command the complex, ongoing interactions

within the self. One of the most common examples is self-talk with thought messages subsequently

dispersed throughout the self-system or to selected inner targets. Self-talk combined with mental imagery is

especially effective in generating creative ideas.

Global telepathy is based on the premise that we can psychically generate global interactions that affect

global conditions and bring forth global change.

Contents include: Telepathy Explained; Telepathic Initiative Program; Telepathic Activation Procedure;

Two-part Composite Telepathic Procedure; Global Telepathy.

Amazon lists 2,857 titles. Google lists 1,970,000 results.

Chapter Fifteen: Visualization: The Key to Empowering Your Imagination

To imagine is to create. The imagination (image-plus-action) is our faculty that puts an image into action.

To act upon an image is to turn it into reality. The essential element for successful Creative Visualization is

emotion. Effective visualization is the key to empowering your imagination to “make real the unreal.” To

imagine and to visualize is to move from past into future, which becomes the present. “Present” in time, and

a “present” (i.e., a gift) to you.

The image in the imagination was visualized—created wholly out of “mind stuff” which can become the

seed or matrix or core of energy that becomes converted into matter to enter the world of reality. To enable

that process to happen, the visualized image attracts energy and matter that become the thing visualized

through any of a variety of processes.

The “power of attraction” uses creative visualization to activate opportunities to bring fulfillment to your

desires and accomplish your goals in life. Know what you want, be specific without limiting the opportunity

to access the reality by which it can be accomplished, find the picture or symbol to represent your desire or

goal, empower it with emotion, see it in your imagination, and “put yourself in the picture” so that the

opportunity comes to you. Your ability to effectively visualize turns your imagination into a psychic power

tool for use in psychic work as well as in all forms of magical application, active meditation, astral travel,

Qabalistic pathworking, the development of clairvoyance, remote viewing, symbol “doorways” to access

specific areas of the astral world, activating archetypal powers, the assumption of god forms, entering

mythic worlds, and much more.

Part Two: Awareness-Expanding Divinatory Tools for Psychic Development

Chapter Sixteen: Objectology & Psychic Empowerment

An important technique of psychic empowerment is to adopt certain objects as “tools” for indirect means to

access our inner psychic potentials and promote their development. These psychic tools are material objects

purposefully applied to connect us to sources of psychic power within the self. We call the study of these

tangible tools and the techniques associated with them “objectology.”

Psychic empowerment tools and techniques are valuable, not only in stimulating our psychic functions

and promoting their development, but also in research designed to explore and better understand the world

of psychic phenomena. Through the use of tangible objects, we can develop techniques and assemble

objective data that can be statistically analyzed for significance and relevance to the psychic experience.

The application of dowsing rods, for example, can yield specific data regarding natural subterranean

resources which can be analyzed for accuracy. Likewise, the pendulum when appropriately applied can

provide a wealth of data in a quantified form that can be treated statistically. ESP cards are often used by

researchers to gather objective data related to various psychic faculties and provide comparisons of psychic

abilities among individuals. Many of our conclusions concerning the nature of psychic phenomena are

based on the results of studies that applied tangible objects under appropriately controlled, scientific conditions.

Chapter Seventeen: Ascending the Pyramid

The pyramid, along with the circle, square, triangle, etc. is one of the basic geometric shapes fundamental to

the universe, and through our creative imagination it connects us to the energies of the material world. As

an archetypal symbol it is used in Masonic and Esoteric programs to align the psyche with basic

philosophical concepts.

Inside the Great Pyramid are passageways and chambers historically used in mystical practices while a

schematic representation of the interior is used to describe divisions of human consciousness.

A popular view of pyramid power centers on the inherent empowering properties of the design itself

along with its inspiring, balancing, preserving, and rejuvenating properties. When the pyramid is oriented

with one side accurately aligned to one of the four cardinal points of the compass, its positive potentials are

activated. For most personal applications, the pyramid’s empowerment potentials are expanded through

appropriate affirmations.

Ascending the Pyramid is a practical psychic empowerment meditation exercise used in relation to goal

setting. When used in meditation, pyramidal imagery increases the effectiveness of empowering affirmations.

Geometric Shapes Fundamental to the Universe; Possible Healing Properties; The Pyramid’s Applications

Chapter Eighteen: Crystal Gazing & Psychic Awareness

Crystal gazing is one of the most widely known techniques to stimulate inner psychic functions and expand

psychic awareness. Through the centuries, crystal gazing, or , has been used to probe the unknown; and, in

recent years, it has been incorporated into a variety of self-empowerment strategies designed to open new

vistas of psychic understanding and knowledge.

Crystal Gazing enables the discovery and transfer of specific knowledge found in the subconsciousness

to the conscious mind as needed or on demand, or as required in certain telepathic communications. As a

meditation technique, crystal gazing will often produce profound personal insight as well as highly relevant

psychic knowledge.

For both precognition and retrocognition, crystal gazing functions in two important modes: forward and

reverse. In its forward mode, the technique transports awareness into the future to target selected events,

while in its reverse mode, it projects awareness to unknown past events or experiences.

Aside from its relevance in stimulating various psychic functions, crystal gazing has been successfully

applied as a stress management, meditation, and general self-empowerment technique.

Chapter Nineteen: Probing the Energy Field with Dowsing & the Pendulum

“Dowsing is the exercise of a human faculty, which allows one to obtain information in a manner beyond

the scope and power of the standard human physical senses of sight, sound, touch, etc.”

Dowsing rods and pendulums are simply external tools of the psychic mind. As “antennae” of mind and

body, dowsing instruments stimulate a host of sensory and extrasensory receptors for gathering a vast

amount of information. As the psychic mind develops, so does our capacity for dowsing.

As a technique for gathering information, dowsing has been successfully applied to science and

technology, business and industry, forensics, and the military. Valuable subterranean resources including oil,

coal, water, minerals, and natural gas have been located through dowsing. In industrial settings, dowsing

has been effective in locating buried cables, water, gas lines, and valuable resources. There is some

evidence that dowsing may have valuable diagnostic potential when applied to the human body.

We share energy and consciousness with the Earth and ourselves at both the physical and more subtle

levels known as etheric and astral. It is within our personal consciousness—our subconscious and conscious

minds—that we can make the fine attunements that can channel specific information useful in practical and

beneficial applications. The greatest value of dowsing with the pendulum is communication between the

subconscious mind and the conscious mind, and actually going beyond to the universal consciousness in

which all memories and all knowledge resides.

The pendulum can accurately explore our inner motives, abilities, interests, and potentials. As a probe of

external realities, the pendulum can tap distant sources of psychic insight and connect us to a vast wealth of

empowering psychic knowledge.

Chapter Twenty: Geomancy: What the Earth Tells You

Geomancy is an Earth-based divination system providing a picture of the immediate environmental

influences on the question at hand. Psychologist Carl Jung called it “terrestrial astrology,” following the

West Nigerian practice of creating the astrological chart by counting pebbles to arrive at ones and twos to

produce a chart read like a horoscope.

All divinatory systems connect the Conscious Mind to the Subconscious and thence to the Universal

Consciousness to provide a map of the Unconscious at that moment. Psychic Empowerment depends on our

abilities to consciously “channel” our questions to these lower realms and to refer the answers to our

awakened consciousness for their analysis and application. While it can be used to gain some insight and

alternative views of events, it will primarily relate to the personal state of awareness rather than the fully

objective “outside” world.

While geomancy is shamanic in origin, the common form of European geomancy is derived from ancient

Arabic and Roman practices combined with astrology and the Greek doctrine of the four elements. The

sixteen geomantic signs (four rows of dots or lines) represent all possible basic combinations of the

elements. Each of the seven traditional planets is associated with two geomantic signs, the remaining two

signs being associated with the nodes of the moon. Zodiacal symbols are assigned to the geomantic signs

associated with the planets according to each planet’s zodiacal rulership. From its simple origins, it has

evolved into a complex operation working at subconscious levels.

While some practitioners simply put dots on paper, proceeding from right to left, and then count them,

the better method is to use a box of clean sand and a common pencil as a stylus. Marks are made, and

counted, and the process repeated to complete the forms which are then interpreted according to established

rules extended through intuition and psychic insight.

Chapter Twenty-One: What Your Handwriting Says About You

Handwriting refers only to writing and only rarely to hand printing. Your writing sample is most likely to be

a note taken at a meeting or as a summary of a phone or other conversation; the more spontaneous it was the

better. Your analysis starts with simple observation and your impressions: Is it orderly, neat, messy,

unbalanced, heavy? Write down your impressions. Does the writing appear fluid or rigid, natural or

stilted? Is it balanced and symmetrical? Is the use of white space harmonious? Does the writing feel

rhythmic? Write your impressions. As you notice different factors that seem unusual, write the same thing

yourself (even if you wrote the note originally) and see how it feels.

Handwriting analysts break the handwriting into zones. Zones are the portions occupying the main area

of the writing, and then those above and below, and are viewed symbolically for the energies expended in

particular areas of the writer’s life. All references are to noncapitalized letters. The Upper Zone identifies

with the superconscious mind—the mental, spiritual, political, and intangible areas of life. The Middle Zone

identifies with the conscious mind—the mundane matters of daily life, social relationships, and conscious choices.

The Lower Zone identifies with the subconscious mind—the basic biological drives and desires, sex and

sensuality, sports and material matters of money, and consumer comforts.

Baseline Slant reflects the writer’s emotional state and the extremes of optimism or pessimism. Letter

Slant relates to the writer’s emotional direction and degree of emotional control. Letter Size projects the

writer’s self-importance and claim to space. Pressure relates to the intensity and depth of feeling.

Connecting Strokes reveal the writer’s attitude toward others. Letter Spacing reveals the writer’s

expression: introversion, extroversion, repression. Word Spacing reveals the writer’s degree of contact with

the immediate environment. Line Spacing reveals the writer’s sense of direction and order. Margins reveal

the writer’s relationship to the world as expressed in economy, consistency, tolerance, desire for esteem, and

urge for acceptance. Letter Formations can reflect considerable character tendencies, but vary considerably

even within a single writing sample.

The signature is still commonly used to legally affirm a contract, to transfer funds with a bank check, and

to confirm or acknowledge the details of a report. While most of the rules of handwriting analysis can be

applied to the written signature, it is necessary to consider that the personal signature is often deliberately

created as a public representation of the self. The pronoun “I” is most commonly used in statements of

affirmation, promise, and commitment, and often used in self-hypnosis.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The I Ching: When the Moment is Right

“Chinese Thought” is concerned with Virtue and Correct Conduct, and divination is performed to determine

the right course of action. The I Ching is not a fortune-telling system but a way to examine the nature of the

moment to determine right conduct. “Correct Conduct” is not always the most personally beneficial action

but it is the right thing to do—ethically, practically, and “spiritually” in the cosmic scheme of things.

In all things, “timing is the key to success” and when the moment changes, so will its nature. When the

moment is right, the “rainbow bridge” connects heaven and earth, placing the forces of Yin and Yang in

perfect balance. Such balance becomes the foundation for right action. The premise of the I Ching is that all

things—past, present, and future—are interrelated, and constantly changing and transforming. The past is in

the present, for the past is the present’s base and influence. The seeds of the future are in the present, and

the future’s roots are in the past. However, even though all things are constantly changing, a given moment

in time may be isolated and its unique characteristics determined.

Carl Jung called this the “synchronistic concept” of the universe. Since the exact parameters of a moment

occur only once, this becomes legible by means of the hexagram form. As the moment is, so do the thrown

sticks or coins or dice or shuffled cards fall because they have the quality of that moment alone, a visible

summation of all things past and present. The function of divination is to understand past and present in

order to foresee the future, drawing from the unconscious to the conscious mind whatever is needed to

understand the question asked and provide its solution.

The eight basic trigrams symbolize all that is knowable, spiritually and physically. The trigrams are

symbols of all that is in the midst of a state of change and are true representations of life itself. Your trigram

throw is yours alone. Yang and Yin lines compose a trigram based on the triune Principle of Body, Mind,

and Soul. The bottom line is the body and automatic emotions. The middle line is the thinking man, mind,

and intellect. The top line is the soul, spirit, and one’s intuitive wisdom.

There is one Great Key, and only one to the interpretation of each of the sixty-four hexagrams in relation

to any question. This Key is the right comprehension of the meaning of each of the eight trigrams, plus the

special implications of the trigram’s position in the hexagram, upper or lower. By placing yourself in touch

with the flow of universal energies through the random draw, you will find your place in the scheme of

things—at this moment. The I Ching is not so much predictive as revealing of your circumstance if you

continue to follow the path you are on. The interpretation will suggest ways to realign yourself with the

deeper harmony.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Spirit Communications: When the Spirit Moves

Spirits have been with us from the beginning of anything we know about humanity. Their presence is

recorded in the sacred literature of all peoples and in their mythologies as well. They are in the Jewish and

Christian Bible, in our folklore, and part of religious history studies and paranormal research. Spirits are an

intimate experience in African-Spiritist based religions of Santeria, Macumba, Voudoun, and others

prominent in the African-American and Hispanic cultures of the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

The modern renaissance started with rapping sounds in 1848 in the Fox family home in Hydesville, NY.

The two young sisters started communicating with the spirit making the rappings and news of this brought

reporters and observers from New York City and more distant places. Among the observers were H. P.

Blavatsky, who later founded the Theosophical Society and Spiritualism as religion, and the subject of

psychical research dominated public interest.

Laboratory research at Athens State University and elsewhere has demonstrated and measured a range of

phenomena associated with Spirit presence and communication, including out-of-body experiences,

psychokinesis, and hauntings, and has verified the history behind such spirit appearances. Included in ASU

research projects was the astral body of one person sharing the physical body of another person.

Research refutes the lore and claims of negative experiences and harm from spirit communication and

finds only positive benefit. Experimentation included table tipping and séance, leading to the development

of programs developing “the medium within.”

The deeper our understanding of spirit communications, the deeper our understanding of ourselves and

the spiritual nature of our existence. Although we are mind, body, and spirit, without the spirit we would not

exist. Only the spirit is forever. It’s the spirit that gives meaning to our existence and direction to our

strivings as soul beings.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Runes: Fire and Ice: Our Northern Heritage

Runic Divination and Runic Magick work reliably and reveal a well-structured cosmology and esoteric

psychology comparable to the Qabalah. However, the Northern Tradition’s World Tree is not directly

compatible with the Qabalah’s “Tree of Life.” Each provides complex structures for organizing human

experience and perceptions of the workings of the universe. Individual components of each system can find

a correspondence in the other, but they are not always identical.

The Runes are little-understood images used in Divination and Magick. The word itself means “secret,”

and secret they are until personally activated by the user. Their origin is ancient and prehistoric, coming to

us through verbal tradition, song, and poetry. They are part of the Nordic and German pagan traditions, and

like all ancient religions were ruthlessly suppressed by the Roman Catholic Church and then further

repressed and lost as modern culture denigrated the Pagan past.

It is as symbols that the runes are significant. Some symbols are historical in origin, associated with an

event and used as a “sign of affiliation,” and have come to embody specific “magical powers” related to

religious functions of blessings and acceptance into the faith. Other symbols originated as signs but have

taken on many associations that evoke feelings, remind us of historical events, and represent arguments and

debates. Other symbols represent archetypal functions, perceptions, and events such as those in Tarot Cards,

and yet others like those of the I Ching that represent the flow of life processes. These symbols—

astrological, alchemical, religious, magical, etc.—are “loaded” with meanings that are in turn specifically

informative or that evoke feelings and awaken intuition.

Other symbols, like the Runes that have mythic origins, are occult formulae for working the Cosmic

Forces as perceived by their shamanic discoverer, and actually embody psychic, magical, and spiritual

powers, energy processes, and movement that seem as if they were self-evolved or “channeled” from a

higher consciousness.

The wizards who used the runes for magical purposes regarded themselves as blood kin to Odin, the

Nordic god who was popularly accredited with inventing the runic alphabet. As we have seen, they

were basically followers of the shamanistic tradition, which is one of the oldest, if not the oldest,

religious belief systems known to humanity …

Michael Howard believes that the Runes are so ancient and so fundamental—so loaded with intrinsic

power—that their modern usage will turn the user into a kind of shaman. The “father-god” of the Norse

people was himself a shaman and everything about the Northern tradition is shamanic. Their study will

involve more than a “dictionary of meanings” and will require some immersion into the world of their gods

and goddesses, into their practical magick, and a feeling for their poetry.

In the creation myth, we first see two opposing forces coming from opposite directions, and then their

synthesis in the center. It was this that established the two basic principles of Duality and Trinity that

permeate every aspect of the Northern Tradition. Later, in the three families of the Runes, we see this same

conflict between inner and outer forces, and then their synthesis in a third family. Such is the nature of the

cosmos and the psyche—opposition and then synthesis—repeated again and again in higher levels of

growth and development, of evolution and progress.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Sand Reading: A Handprint Tells a Story

The desert sands seem forever, yet record the transiting passage of men and events, whether of footprints or

monuments. A box of sand, like one used in Geomancy, can hold an impression of a palm that can be read

as a simple recording of a “psychic moment,” or as a palm print by the rules of palmistry.

As a direct impression, it’s like a physical and psychic photograph that can be read both from simple

objective observations of depth, pressure, finger spread, and details that uniquely reflect the feelings of the

person in 3-D, and with the subjective impression to be felt and intuited before the moment passes.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tarot: Your Path to Good Fortune

Along with astrology, the tarot is one of the most important and powerful systems of Self-Empowerment in

the Western Tradition, and indeed—like astrology—it has passed beyond cultural limitation and become

global and universal in acceptance and application. However, unlike astrology, the tarot is powered by the

imagination to enable the user to soar beyond Earth and the solar system to all the dimensions of the universe.

Your cards are rich in symbols, the language of the Unconscious, illustrated to express—through

specified colors, images, and actions—archetypal powers derived from the Tree of Life. That a picture is

“worth a thousand words” is a gross understatement. The colorful images speak directly to our emotional

and mental selves. Even without the specific descriptions and interpretations that come later, you will find

that you already “know” a great deal. It is better, initially, to learn by actually experiencing the cards in action.

The “secret” to all systems of divination starts with establishing rules and definitions to guide your

interpretations of cards drawn in response to your well-defined questions. The first step is to define your

question(s) as specifically as possible—even as questions asking for a “yes” or “no” answer—even though

your answers will be much more extensive than that. With experience, your questions may become more

general and expansive, while your answers will actually become more specific in application to your personal situation.

The cards of the Minor Arcana present to us the vibrations of Number, Color, and Element—that is, the

plane on which number and color function. Thus, in the Ten of Pentacles we have the number Ten and

tertiary colors, citrine, olive, and russet, working in Malkuth, the material plane. Whereas in the Ten of

Wands we have the number Ten and the tertiaries working in pure energy. In these cards, the Sephirah is

indicated by the coloring of the clouds; the plane by the coloring of the symbols.

The Tarot’s greatest use is as a magickal implement which can bring spiritual attainment to one who

studies it. This is because each Tarot card is an astral mirror of the human mind. Meditating on

specific cards helps tune the student in to different aspects of his/her own mind establishing a

communication link between the conscious and the subconscious … (The New Golden Dawn Ritual

Tarot, by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero)

We must live whole lives—learning to use the whole of our consciousness—and not limit ourselves by

the hereditary divisions. We are entering into a new age of evolutionary opportunity that is calling forth

responses that once were relegated to “special studies” like shamans, priests, and other class distinctions.

You have all the powers and abilities that enable you to function at a “whole” level—but you must develop

those innate psychic powers that open the channels between conscious and subconscious minds and thus

enable what we call the “Superconscious mind” that completes the structure we call “Self-Empowerment.”

The Tarot is much more than a Divinatory System. That’s just the beginning journey. The Tarot can be

used in Dream Interpretation, Meditation, Pathworking, Astral Travel, and a complete program of selfdevelopment

and Self-Empowerment, growing into the Whole Person of our Destiny.

Pathworkings are journeys, almost like magical train trips, from one station through exotic landscapes to

another station. The goal is to follow all the paths in reverse, starting with the thirty-second, called “the

Universe,” that runs from the station named Malkuth to the one named Yesod. Each magical trip on the

paths—working in reverse—is progressive in training your mental skills (concentration, visualization,

memory recall) and developing your psychic abilities (astral travel, clairvoyance, constructive imagination)

while expanding and integrating your growing knowledge. And, like any journey, the more you travel each

one, the more you will expand your horizons as you observe and experience the scenery and inner world

inhabitants, gaining knowledge that can be turned to practical benefit.

The pertinent cards of the Minor Arcana establish different “platforms” or levels for each station, while

the Major Arcana card assigned to the path is your ticket and passport for the particular journey. The more

you know about the Tree of Life and the correspondences to the Sephiroth and Paths, the richer your trip

will be. It is like moving up from an economy class to higher luxury classes with better accommodations

and more interesting traveling companions.

There has been a special interest in using Tarot Cards as an “astral doorway” in a manner less complex

than pathworking, but still based on the same concept that the card becomes a “key” to a specific area of the

astral world. Rather than a journey from station to station, it is comparable to traveling to a single

destination, and then passing through a doorway composed of the card and sightseeing at that single

destination, and then turning around and exiting through that same door back to this world to come back home.

The trained imagination, which also means that it is controlled by the conscious mind, is the creative

power of the mind. And that which is imagined is experienced in the astral world. Pathworking, astral

doorways, and meditation, are exercises of the creative imagination just as are creative art, design, music,

literature, inventions, scientific breakthroughs, and the ability to visualize.

Without the creative imagination, innovation would not happen. Without the creative imagination,

humanity would exist only as animals on a planet on which the predator large animals would be the victors.

Pathworking, meditation, astral travel, and all magical and creative work are exercises of a controlled and

guided imagination. Think about it, and pick a card to work with. Let it act as a doorway, but keep to the

images and ideas that are associated specifically with that card. Record your experience, and compare it

with the information provided. The more you practice, the more rewarding will be your experience and your

ability to employ the trained imagination in your material world as well as your astral world.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tea Leaf & Coffee Grounds Reading: May Your

Cup Brimeth Over

Your simple teacup can “brimeth over” with information about your present situation and answers to your

carefully phrased questions. How is this possible? Because everything is available in your subconscious

mind and Tea Leaf Reading, like other forms of divination, can call up the exact information you need. But

you must understand the subconscious mind stores information in symbols rather than words, so we have to

relate to those symbols in our reading and turn them into a story.

The patterns found in wet tea leaves often clearly show recognizable images and symbols, but other times

we must use the imagination to “fill in the blanks” to arrive at a definable picture, and then create an

individualized interpretation or solution to a posed question. As you progress, you will more often use the

imagination to trigger the subconscious mind rather than depending on a dictionary definition.

It’s this expansion of awareness, using the imagination calling to the subconscious mind and feeling the

intuitive response that helps open your psychic abilities. That’s what we are really after—using this simple

tool to bring you Psychic Empowerment.

People use tea leaf reading to understand a current situation and to forecast the future, and the practice

will help “train” your imagination to develop your psychic skills and intuition.

Coffee Ground Reading: Coffee ground reading is a relatively new concept to the Western world, but is

an old practice still surviving in the Middle East and the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

Basically, reading coffee grounds is similar to tea leaf reading and starts with the preparation of a cup of

coffee intended for reading, one cup at a time.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wrinkled Sheet: Anything can work because

the Power is in You, not the Thing

The Wrinkled Sheet, like Sand Reading (Chapter Twenty-five), demonstrates an important point: the

Psychic Tool need not be something with a long history and established lore about its use because the

“power” is not in the thing, i.e. the tool, but in the psyche of the reader. Anything, old or new, simple or

complex, inexpensive or expensive, natural or manufactured, etc. can be adapted for use in a psychic reading.

What is important is that the reader sees the “thing” to be a tool and remembers that a tool is an extension

of the body and of the psyche. In almost every situation involving a tool, the selected instrument is a

multiplier of the physical or psychic strength of the user, just as is a hammer, shovel, pen, or computer.

Examining the process of adapting an ordinary object into a Tool of Psychic Empowerment may reveal

something of the nature of psychic development and the capacity of the psyche to extend itself into the

environment to meet its own goals or fulfill its needs.

In the divinatory process, the key step is to establish rules that will become the vocabulary of

interpretation. While it helps if there is a seeming natural correlation between the defining rule and

something about the object being used as a tool—for example, calling the most prominent line in the palm

the “life line”—but the real importance comes with the psychic (subconscious) feeling of correctness to the

meanings so assigned.

Even with the arbitrary choice of the divinatory tool, we will find signs and symbols that resonate with

long-established “intuitions” that will work with the new tool as well as with other “established” tools.

Before a reading is undertaken, the important question should be carefully formulated and expressed.

Generally the “thing” is then given a charge of energy, preferably by the person for whom the reading is

being given. Cards are shuffled, dice are shaken, sand is carefully raked and smoothed, and the paper sheet

is deliberately crumpled. With these principles and rules established, you can see how it is that “anything”

can be substituted for the “real thing” in psychic divination. Just the same, those tools like the Tarot or

Runes or the I Ching that do have a long history and established literature also have a hereditary power that

is truly valuable and helpful to the reader.

The avenues for exploring the mind, like the mind itself, are endless. The wrinkled sheet technique, like

sand reading, provides in symbolic form a representation of the innermost self. Its intricate complexity

parallels the complexity of the human psyche, and when appropriately interpreted, provides yet another

valuable source of psychic insight. In our continuing struggle for wisdom and understanding, the wrinkled

sheet can offer critical raw material for activating the creative, inquiring mind.

The exquisitely complex wrinkled sheet effectively engages its counterpart, the exquisitely complex

mind, in an interaction that is both challenging and empowering. The greater our psychic skills, the more

easily we can make that subjective leap into psychic space.

Part Three: The Next Step in Self-Development

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Self-Empowerment: The Great Work

Self-Empowerment does begin with Psychic Empowerment! It is the “Next Step” in the Great Work of our

evolutionary development, and is bringing the innate psychic powers resident in the lower unconscious into

the light of the conscious mind. It is the necessary Next Step in the integration of the Lower Self with the

Higher Self in the Whole Person. Self-Empowerment empowers the Whole Person to comprehend the world

we live within so that we may live intelligently and responsibly with our human family and other species in

the home we all share.

Psychic Empowerment is not the only Next Step in our evolutionary journey being thrust upon us in the

most critical moment in human history, but it is vital to our understanding the ramifications and necessity of

other scientific, technological, economic, social, and medical innovations that must be made to adjust for

new environmental and geopolitical realities challenging our survival.

Psychic powers are not new, but their open “availability” is. Since any historic recording began—

including mythical and religious—certain select people have exercised clairvoyance, far-seeing, astral

projection, psychokinesis, telepathy, and precognition. These few people became priests and prophets,

advisors to kings, and adored saints. They were separated from the general population, enjoying power and

prestige, while establishing a hierarchy of students learning their “secrets” under controls that were more

“political” than ethical.

Science has changed Belief into certainty, and Secrets are replaced with knowledge, practical techniques

and tools, and pertinent applications.

Psychic skills are as important to successful living as other physical and mental skills and through

systemic integration programs of heightened conscious awareness, meditation, and self-hypnosis, your

psychic powers become as “normal” and familiar as logical analysis, creative thinking, ethical judgment,

and communal responsibility.

As scientists of the psyche—whether we are called psychologists, parapsychologists, or metaphysicians

—we recognize that we can only see one part of the picture. Physical scientists—in particular physicists,

biologists, and astronomers—see another part of the picture, while quantum physicists are beginning to see

the unifying field where those parts come together in the Big Picture. As we work together, a more

complete picture emerges and we learn that consciousness itself is pervasive in every dimension of the universe.

The metaphysical universe is divided into “worlds” (or planes)—Physical (which includes the Etheric),

Astral, Mental, and Spiritual (which also includes several “higher” planes. Each plane has a vibratory range

that is distinct to the “substance” of that world (See Chapter Two). All things, living and nonliving, have

counterparts in the astral and other worlds, so to confine the discussion to the human, we each have astral,

mental, and spiritual bodies, and an in-between etheric body that is really the energy part of the physical

body. It is within the etheric body that we can locate the chakras, meridians, and other of the “esoteric”

organs and energy pathways important in the alternative systems.

While the substance of each world and each body is distinctive, consciousness is pervasive and only

requires an appropriate means of perception and expression in each world.

Humanity is on a journey moving beyond the frontiers of past times, calling upon each and every one of

us to individually move beyond past beliefs about personal limits to become more than we are, and accept

the greater responsibilities that our growth and development require. It’s a journey comparable to that

leading to the founding of the American Republic and the first lunar landing. But it’s a pioneering journey

that only you can make—no government funding needed, no expensive equipment required, no strenuous

physical preparation necessary. For you, it is not only a journey, it is also an adventure and it is personal

development that benefits all of humanity.

Chapter Thirty: Hypnosis & Self-Hypnosis

Successful Hypnosis is a goal-related state of altered consciousness in which attention can be productively

focused on specific goals. All hypnosis involves acceptance and participation by the subject—thus, all

hypnosis is self-hypnosis and is possible for everyone. With the subject in control and using the proven

techniques of self-hypnosis, goals are more efficiently accomplished and self-hypnosis becomes a true

method of self-help applied to the needs and interests of the self-hypnotist, including such quality-of-life

goals as weight control, self-healing, substance abuse, slowing aging, pain control, rejuvenation,

overcoming fears, accelerated learning, memory improvement, accessing past lives, astral projection, and

promoting psychic development. Successful goals focus on possibilities, not limitations.

Self-hypnosis is an indispensable gateway to self-empowerment. It provides ready access to the highest

sources of power, both within you and beyond. Once equipped with the programs presented in this chapter,

you can seize with confidence the splendor of the moment and the challenges of the future. Each built-in

part of your being—psychic, healer, educator, therapist, creator, rejuvenator, and hypnotist—is then poised

to ensure your destiny for endless greatness.

You may also discover that the sound of your voice increases the effectiveness of your suggestions.

Throughout the session, addressing oneself as “I” rather than “you” typically facilitates successful hypnosis

by more effectively engaging the subconscious. Likewise, the so-called “I am” approach tends to promote

successful induction as well as application.

Chapter Thirty-One: Meditation: From Body to Mind to Spirit

Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, and meditation are all associated with special mental states that facilitate positive

personality changes and connect with higher dimensions of the psyche.

Like Self-Hypnosis, meditation is mostly self-administered and can be applied entirely for physical,

emotional, and mental benefits. From a Body/Mind (“BM”) perspective meditation is a non-drug way to

lower stress levels, relax any area of the body, reduce blood pressure levels, calm the emotions, and clear the mind.

Mantra meditation, mostly associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, is by far the best-known form of

meditation. Each mantra, while having similar physical and mental effects, will also produce different

emotional feelings and induce unique spiritual effects identified with the particular tradition and the words

or names used. Phrases containing “God Names” are especially powerful, as you would expect.

Mantra meditation is common in other traditions as well. The wisdom of the Kabbalah and its core

symbol, the Tree of Life, is the foundation of Western metaphysics and invisibly of the whole of Western

science and philosophy. With it, we have the means to understand and relate to the body of the Universe and

Man and the Soul of Man and the Universe.

While there are individual Hebrew mantras, the premier form of meditation is found in the practices of

“Pathworking.” These are imaginative journeys or guided meditations following the twenty-two paths

between the ten Sephiroth which should be understood as the “God Forces” behind the universe. Because

pathworking is a visual exercise, it needs visual focus and the images of the Tarot Trumps are among the

most productive for this purpose, and often serve to frame the vision that ensues.

Pathworking has been described as the art of clairvoyantly investigating the Paths of the Tree of Life. The

technique was largely developed by adepts of the Golden Dawn and Aurum Solis but has become a

comprehensive meditative system outside the magical orders. Once the meditator has passively followed the

guided meditation, he should then attempt to retread the Paths out-of-body following certain ritual

techniques involving visualized symbols, performing certain gestures and vibrating Divine Names.

Just as the individual Tarot Arcanum communicates particular information and energies, so do the

individual Hebrew letters. The twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are profound realities embodying

primal spiritual forces that are, in effect, the “building blocks of Creation.” Hebrew is called a “flame

language” and each letter appears to be shaped out of flames that can channel forces connecting Heaven

with Earth in special ways. Because of the belief that these letters (the forces embodied therein) predated

Creation, the letters themselves and the order and manner in which they are utilized are of crucial

significance, and their properly pronounced sounds transformative. Hebrew chants (mantras) were designed

as special formulas able to arouse spiritual forces.

Appendix A: Journey of A Lifetime: A Program for Actualizing Your

Psychic Powers

It’s a program designed to activate your psychic powers and initiate a psychic-empowered lifestyle with

totally new growth possibilities. It’s a do-it-yourself Journey based on the premise that the best psychic

growth specialist exists within yourself—the Journey empowers you to connect to that specialist. It

organizes the concepts of psychic empowerment into a plan that progresses from positive self-affirmations

to step-by-step psychic development techniques, all of which you can do for yourself. Included in the

Journey are totally new approaches that embrace the whole person in a growth process extending far

beyond the completion of the step-by-step exercises presented in the program.

Psychic development is a natural and continuous process so that even sporadic and experimental

involvement will yield positive results—but the full realization of your psychic potentials needs a more

organized approach that recognizes your inherent capacity to access and activate your growth resources.

The results will be a mental, physical, and spiritual state of empowerment that transcends the demands of

even the most difficult life situation.

The exercises that follow are designed to initiate a Journey with life-changing possibilities for selfdiscovery,

growth, and power. Through this Journey of a Lifetime, you will discover that the possibilities

are unlimited when you tap into the powers within!

Exercise One: Promoting Growth Readiness and Expectations of Success

The psychic-empowerment goal for this introductory exercise is twofold: first, to generate a state of psychic

growth readiness and second, to promote powerful expectations of success.

Exercise Two: Picture Recall

The purpose of this second exercise is to build the visualization skills required to access your inner

potentials and apply them toward achieving your personal goals.

Exercise Three: The Blank Sheet

The Blank Sheet is designed to further exercise your visualization skills and empower you to use them to

achieve your stated goals. This exercise is especially effective in activating your psychic faculties.

Exercise Four: Becoming Balanced and Attuned

The goal of this exercise is to achieve an empowered state of mental, physical, and spiritual balance and

attunement. Once you are wholly balanced and attuned, you are at your peak empowerment—nothing is

beyond your reach. In that empowered state, you can achieve your loftiest goals. You can solve your most

difficult problems and overcome all barriers to your success.

Exercise Five: The Four A’s of Psychic Empowerment

Everyone is psychic, but developing and effectively applying your psychic powers requires recognition of

your psychic potentials and a commitment to actualize them. This exercise is based on the four A’s of

psychic empowerment: Awareness, Appreciation, Actualization, and Application.

Exercise Six: Becoming Altruistically Empowered

Altruism is the pinnacle of mental, physical, and spiritual empowerment. Possibly nothing is more

empowering than acts of kindness toward others, including persons and animals alike.

The Journey of a Lifetime is an endless adventure with unlimited possibilities for growth, self-discovery,

and fulfillment. It’s a journey of necessity as well as of opportunity. Without growth, we come to a dead

end; with continuous growth, our potential is infinite.
