What you saw was in fact, psychic material. It just didn’t apply to the person you were reading.

There are some psychics of course, who have an impressive accuracy rate. Uri Geller is one, the only psychic I personally know that is right most of the time. But for most of us, our psychic ability is still fairly immature. We haven’t used it enough to understand it and interpret it. We still feel “silly” and self-conscious when we sit down and try to “conjure up some unexplainable knowledge”.

Add this to the multitude of information we might be receiving at any given time and its easy to see why we’re a little shy when it comes to exploring our psychic ability. But by clearing out the clutter (and using a trick I’m going to show you in just a bit), you can improve your ability to zero in on the right information and make an accurate reading.

No, it’s not foolproof—you still may get mixed messages some of the time—but it will definitely help you fine-tune your skills and learn to interpret the array of psychic images that might come your way.

So what happens when you clear the clutter and confidently rely on your psychic senses?

Here’s how your life can change…

• Your business and career will soar. Professor John Milasky of the Newark College of Engineering did a study and found that CEOs who had stronger intuition also performed better at guiding their companies. Company revenue growth was directly linked to a CEOs sense of intuition!
• Parents with strong intuition have a better rapport with their kids and can sense moods better.
• Patients with strong intuition can better maintain their health and find themselves being guided to the right doctors and therapies.
• Writers, inventors, musicians with strong intuition are able to produce better works of art. Paul McCartney of the Beatles said that the song “Yesterday” came to him in a dream. Best Selling author Richard Bach, said he was able to complete his book Jonathan Livingston Seagull through intution.
• A group of computer techies I know invented a new website that made them $200,000 through intuition that came while meditating.

These things are possible when you reach a higher consciousness. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do here.

Altering Your State of Awareness

Just about everyone knows what “consciousness” is. Even the most skeptical person understands the meaning of the word. But to say that consciousness is simply a state of “being aware” doesn’t even begin to do it justice.

Your consciousness is that part of you that identifies the “I” You are aware of being you, a concept that can literally lead you down the rabbit hole if you contemplate it long enough. But even that consciousness, that elusive, mysterious awareness is just the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

Because “you” is not where the consciousness stops. Quite the opposite, the self-awareness that you currently know is nothing more than one state of consciousness. One of many to be exact, and in order to raise your consciousness and tap into the wonderful world of ESP, you have to acknowledge that those different levels exist in the first place.

Spiritual consciousness or higher consciousness comes about by altering your current state of awareness and realizing that you exist on other planes as well. While you may reside in your body on the physical plane, “You” also exist on the mental plane and the spiritual plane too. Each of these planes represents a different level of awareness and within these levels are sub-levels of your conscious state.

Forget religion for a moment. Just set it aside and approach this next statement with an open and accepting mind:

Where do you believe that God stops and you begin?

If you see the two as separate entities, then you may experience difficulties tapping into your intuition. Why?

Because by separating God into an individual “being”, our mind projects similar attitudes, desires and perceptions, just as we would with another person.

Think of it this way:

But when we see the two as “One”, we begin to understand that our connection to the spiritual plane is more than just abstract guidance from a separate source but rather, a direct line to the Universe and Creation itself. When he said “I am that, I am,” he was telling us that he was everything, Infinite. This, that and all that is.

Well, you are part of “all that is” aren’t you?

So then, how can you be separate from God?

The reason that I make this distinction is that in order to tap into your creativity, your ESP and your intuition, you need to understand that they are all the same thing. And more importantly, they come from the same Source.

Intuition and ESP are nothing more than your connection to the spiritual plane, the plane where your God resides. God is creation in its purest sense so when you tap into your intuition, you are tapping into creation. This is what we mean when we say we were “inspired”. Inspired by whom, exactly? Intuition or Creation? The answer is both because they are one and the same.

Inspiration and Intuition: What is the Difference?

Inspiration comes from the same source – Higher Intelligence, God, Your Higher Self, Universal Intelligence or whatever you like to call it.

Generally when we talk of inspiration we refer to ideas that help us create something new—a business, a song, an essay, a work of art, the list can go on and on.

It’s almost as if, Higher Intelligence, the “Creator” as some call it, is calling on us to apply to our creative skills to bringing more happiness and beauty into the world.

Intuition on the other hand, is used to describe the sensing of something that already exists—the emotions of a child, a danger on the road ahead, a “gut” feeling telling you to make a certain business decision or to avoid someone.

As you begin to move into the spiritual plane, you’ll likely discover a “knowing” that seems to be almost second-nature. You’ll sense what to do and where to go and find that your creative energies have returned in full glory.

Remember, creation and intuition are one and the same—you can’t tap into one without accessing the other as well through the spiritual plane.

The Concept of Parallels Dimensions.

The concept of infinity has been contemplated by a number of scientists over the years. To accept infinity is to put to the test the belief that our universe is billions of years old. If there was a beginning, then there should also be an ending and this is where many scientists admit to being a little confused.

In an infinite universe, there is no beginning or end.

It just always was, always is and always will be.

To understand infinity, think of a number, let’s say twenty. But twenty isn’t the end, is it? There’s always 21. But 21 isn’t the end either. Add one more and you’ve got 22. Even if you thought of a number with a billion zeros at the end of it, you can always still add one more.

That’s infinity. It just simply never ends.

If we apply this same concept to the Universe, then we come to the possibility of parallel dimensions. The idea of parallel dimensions came about in the 1950’s when physicists tried to explain all the paradoxes of reality. These parallel dimensions are regions of space and time just like the one we know. They contain matter, galaxies, stars, planets and yes, even people.

In fact, with an infinite number of dimensions or universes, there must also be an infinite number of you’s residing in each one. And if God is all that is, then anything is possible and everything is reality.

That means that there is a parallel you who’s an artist and another who’s a doctor. In one of those universes, you are a singer, a writer, a banker and a cook. In one of those dimensions, the Earth is just now beginning its prehistoric period while in yet another, the year is 3007.

Does this concept rattle your mind? You’re not alone. Even the physicists who study it utilize mathematical equations to keep everything straight. Quantum physics is an exciting and mind-blowing science, but a science it is. So while these ideas may sound a little far-fetched, I find it interesting that so many scientists continue to ponder these possibilities.

But let’s assume for a moment that parallel universes do in fact, exist. My next question then becomes:

How can I meet one of the other me’s?

Self, Meet Self

During a seminar I taught in the 90’s, we worked on the concept that there were indeed an infinite number of realities and in each one, “you” were whatever and whoever you could possibly conceive to be.

The seminar, called Parallel Dimension Quest (or PDQ for short), used meditation exercises to attempt to contact our doubles who were successful in a parallel dimension in an area we were interested in pursuing here.

What we discovered was that it was actually possible and I used this process to ease into art. As a result, I’ve painted numerous pieces—one hundred and five to be exact—in just an 18 month period! How’s that for an energy boost?!

Is it possible that I had the talent all along? Perhaps, but it was this spiritual process that brought it out and that’s the point.

What hidden talents do you have that you’d like to uncover? And what might your doubles be waiting to teach you? Remember, the possibilities are endless because the universe is infinite.

So how did I do an ESP reading by crushing a fortune cookie?

At the beginning of this lesson, I said that I wanted to show you an easy technique to help you focus your ESP ability and hone your skills. And now that you’ve learned to clear out the clutter by raising your awareness and connecting to your higher Self, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I call it The ESP Hat Technique

The hat of course, is nothing more than a metaphor, but what a powerful metaphor it is. Using the hat, you are training your mind to connect to the spiritual plane and tap into all the energy and wisdom it holds.

Again, no technique is foolproof when dealing with ESP—there’s just too much energy out there to guarantee an accurate reading every single time. But the ESP Hat can help you focus on the answers you seek and open you up to receiving them.

As for the cookie that was just showmanship. The cookie had nothing to do with the reading :-)

Enlightenment follows your Inspiration

I hope you already feel inspired by all the chances that your life offers to you.

You are wondering

• where you are going?
• what is the point of evolution?

The purpose is to allow you to live a life of unlimited potential. A Stanford professor revealed an interesting study recently. He found out that all babies below the age of 4 are tested near genius levels for child intelligence.

But something starts to happen after this. The child’s capabilities start wavering. Some continue to show high intelligence. Others stumble and slow down.

What made the difference?

The professor believed that children slow down because they are given limitations, drummed into them by their parents, teachers and friends: “Don’t say silly things!”, “Stop playing with your imaginary friend!”, “No, silly—that isn’t real!”.

When I found out how to go beyond my limitations I realized that I could pick up skills beyond the ordinary. (You may have seen the video about how I became a world-renowned photographer? If not, you can watch it HERE

I want you to cast away all these limitations and to capture the potential you may have had hiding in you since you were 4 years old.

“The Very Important Part of Me is Back.”

“Some twelve years ago, I had the opportunity to read one book on Silva Method. I remember reading it in a hurry, feeling totally impressed and then continuing with the pressing problems of the ‘real’ life – so whatever came out of this reading, it didn’t last.

After finishing my studies, I became a Doctor, but I have always had this artistic urge – I also have been illustrator and draftsman. I have somehow managed to keep those two sides of my life reasonably together.

Some six years after, I lost the urge to create, got lost in immediate needs. I felt that a very important part of me is missing. Even more, I couldn’t make myself draw – somehow I felt blocked and powerless…
Although everything else worked fine for me, I felt this need to express myself artistically, and that part of me was blocked.

I read Burt Goldman’s online course and started meditating daily, mostly using affirmations. Unbelievably I started drawing again! I am little bit afraid to say this aloud – I feel that very important part of me is back.

By removing mental block that was stopping me from being creative, I feel that I have done something equally important!

Thank you, Burt! You have done something great for me!”
