Executive hunches
The book Executive ESP analyzes a 10-year research project conducted by Douglas Dean and John Mihalasky in the 1960s.
The goal of the project was to determine the levels of psi ability at work in big business. Over 5,000 tests revealed that the more successful an executive is, the more likely that person is to show precognitive ability.
Likewise, the company presidents in the study with the highest individual ESP quotients show the best records of increased profits for their companies.
These aren’t the only gifts of psi – innovation and invention are also the product of a person’s ability to make intuitive leaps.
What’s their secret?
If you want to develop your psi ability, there’s one quick question that experts recommend you ask yourself often: how does something FEEL?
Stephen Harrod Buehner writes in The Secret Teachings of Plants that the best way to increase your perceptive abilities is this: every person, place, or being that you encounter, ask yourself: how does this (person, place, being) feel to me?
Then, trust the answer.
According to Buehner, and also to Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, this intuitive feeling ability is the traditional indigenous way to learn about the world. Indigenous medicine people have learned about plants from developing a true feeling for them, through direct perception.
In an entirely different discipline, US Military Remote Viewer Lyn Buchanan reveals the same secret in his book The Seventh Sense. Buchanan made a career working for the US government using his psychic abilities, and offers the Atmosphere exercise as the best way to hone your psi skills.
The Atmosphere exercise prescribes that for the rest of your life, every day of your life, every room you enter, every threshold you cross, you ask yourself: how does this feel?
Keeping in mind the Zen admonition of ‘first thought, best thought,’ take note of the answer to the question and trust it.
The power of denial
Indeed, Gavin De Becker writes that that humans are the only animal that may not trust trust our own instincts.
Every other animal, DeBecker says, will turn and run if it senses danger. But not all humans will, because of the power of denial, and because of social conditioning.
The trouble with our intuition isn’t our intuition. It’s denial and conditioning. We want to be nice, or we don’t want things to be as they are, or both.
Once you trust your intuition, refining it will increase your ability to have direct perception of the world.
This direct perception will give you access to information that others might perceive as psychic.
You will know, however, that you were just paying attention and trusting yourself.
Try it, and let me know how it works for you.
