FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC Can you help me find gold? This is not an unusual question in the Applied PSI field. One of the areas of PSI that has been popular over the years - yielding everything from titters at a Hallowe'en party to crime investigations, hauntings, and the search for extra-terrestrials - is psychometry. Psychometry is the use of the body's sense of touch. Combined with the body's data interpretation centers, which tell the human or animal what it is that is being sensed, along with other sense indicators, (such as the ancient sense of smell) psychometry "feels" - touches, smells and interprets - what is in contact with the physical body's sensors. (Hearing and visual sensors can be brought into use in addition. See information pages about clairvoyance and clairaudience.) People psychometrize every day of their life - if one closes his eyes, can he tell the difference between a metal toaster and the toasted bread within? These feel different - their textures are not the same and their temperatures differ; they do not smell alike. They are shaped differently and are of different weight. Without looking, one can easily choose between them. Their unique vibrational levels and the size of their field of delivery differs. What about the difference between two pieces of toast held together and a grilled cheese sandwich? Easy again: shape, weight, temperature, texture, smell, size are not the same. The delivery fields are different again. What about the difference between a piece of toasted white bread and toasted 5-grain bread? Try it. Practice. Now, imagine that the two slices of toast are four feet under the ground? Can you tell if they are the shape or texture or smell of toast? If you can, can you say which kind? How about a simple experiment? If you turn your back and have a friend pick up either the toast or the toaster, can you determine, without looking or asking questions, which one has been lifted? Impossible, you say? If you put the shark's food under the ocean floor, he finds it. Hide the food from the jaguar while he is out of the enclosure - watch how quickly he finds it. What about those pigs that dig for truffles? And your dog? Or cat? Man is equipped with the means to detect that which he needs to know. In ancient times, man needed to know that the very large predator was coming to the cave before it arrived. If he realized and paid attention too late...he'd likely never need to know again. And, many human remains have been found from picking through piles of faunal remains (bones, skulls, etc.) left by predators of all species. Being able to sense the footfalls of a predator while it was still at a distance - to "feel" the vibration of earth under foot - to "feel" the motion of the air as he breathed and moved - to sense the fear of other creatures as he passed through their domains - meant the difference between having dinner and being the main course - life or death. Over time, human lives have become increasingly buffered and man has stopped paying attention to these basic pieces of survival equipment; man has desensitized himself. He, overall, feels safer or he delegates his need for protection to others who get paid to "protect and to serve" the population. He is out of practice. If his senses do tell him something - a tornado is on the way, for example - he waits for consensus opinion or popular agreement or weather forecasters' opinions before he makes his move...and often suffers the consequences. Fear of appearing to be "paranoid" trumps his need to survive! It is most often in terms of life's "negatives" that humans use this sense ability - its primary purpose being to help humans survive. There is a "need to know" at those times. Can it also be used for "positive" aplications? The answer is yes; although, since we usually don't mind being "surprised" with happy news, prize winnings or the discovery of fortunes, we seldom trigger the physical processes - the electromagnetic changes, the chemical process, the degree of alertness, the alterations of brain waves - necessary to use the senses for psychometry. Man doesn't practice. If man tries it and fails, he stops practicing. Imagine if one had stopped practicing math. Using psychometry is the most ancient of ways for man to navigate the physical world. His internal mechanisms for smell and touch come into use automatically, unconsciously often, in his contacts with other humans. Some strangers "feel" dangerous to him, while others "feel" like a new friend or customer, even before he begins conversations or actions or has the time to observe body language or behavior. For those who have experienced "sensing" a presence in the room or feeling someone sneak up behind you, the senses of touch and smell allowed you to know before your eyes perceived it. A predatory animal whose likelihood of attacking a human may depend partially upon the size of the prey will treat two same-size human males differently. One will pass; the next one will cause the predator to go into a state of alarm and to begin behaviors (posture, position, alignment, siting) consistent with taking action to eliminate what they view as a danger to them. Does the animal sense the presence of a weapon on the second male - feel and smell the metal of a gun or knife? Does the second male's personal pheromones or after-shave elicit a fear response? The predatory animals - big cats, such as jaguars for example - practice psychometry every day and night. Back to our original question: Can man find buried gold or gold stashed away somewhere? The answer is yes. Have you practiced? Ask yourself: How does gold "feel?" How does it "smell?" How does it vibrate? Can you feel a spin or radiation? Is it hot or cold? Heavy? Light? Rusty or not? Sugar-coated? If "gold" could walk and it sneaked up behind you, could you recognize it by its vibrations alone before turning around? This is where the need for practice, preferably at a young age, enters the picture. How does metal feel compared to wood or stone? How do the minerals feel? Does magnetite feel the same as calcite? What kind of vibes is man seeking if he seeks gold? If our imaginary man practices and finds himself beyond lessons and in the field, saying he can now detect the vibrations of gold, will he succeed? "Here," our man says. "This spot." The natural next question - one that will send him back for more practice, is: In what form is the gold? Is it a gold vein, the motherlode? A cache of gold rings left by a thief? Gold bullion? A gold watch? Gold plated fittings? A gold tooth? A few flakes of gold dust dropped once by a careless (and likely soon-to-be poor) pioneer? A few naturally occurring grains? While our man may be ecstatic at his new-found abilities, it may be that he needs to determine the nature of the find to more exacting standards. Do you drain a lake for a gold ring? Our man may have obstacles to his practice - fear, for example. Fear trumps discovery of "fun" finds in detection triggering processes. If he is trespassing, his instincts to avoid detection may call for him to divide his attention, a large portion of his sensory mechanism being routed toward detecting approaching owners. If he is in the wild, it may be alligators or bears he is trying to avoid. "Divide and conquer" often disrupts or decreases the ability to seek out "extras" or fun discoveries using our senses. For that reason, teams in which someone "keeps a lookout" can be helpful, so that the fear mechanism, the primary sensory trigger, can be softened in that direction. Psychometry is also used in crime detection, in a manner similar to fingerprint reading at the scene. Ideally, if a psychometrist is being called in, he should arrive as soon as possible after the crime has been committed. This avoids the additional imprints of the energy (psychic fingerprint) of the visitors and investigators overshadowing those of the victim and/or criminal. Absolutely no cleaning or rearranging should be done. No dusting! Nothing should be removed. The psychometrist then walks the scene and reads by sensing and allowing the brain to interpret, usually recording in an uninterrupted flow whatever is forthcoming - a name here, a feeling there, a scene flashing by or a story unfolding. "Was the burglar ill?" That question once arose in one such session after certain areas evoked flu-like feelings and headache pain. "Funny you'd say that," the victim replied, "because they went into the bathroom and the only thing they took there was my sinus medicine." In walking a scene, all the senses come into play. In the same moment that the senses of touch and smell may detect a weapon, the sense of clairaudience (hearing) can be listening to the spirit of the body's former occupant tell their story as they remember it. Remote viewing and/or mind blending which connects to both criminal and victim can give a more complete picture. Combining and using sense receptors and interpreting them is the most ancient way of seeing the "un-seeable." For most people, brain-blending and other inter-related skills require a great deal of re-learning and caution. Remember: if you are "wired" into the mind of the killer, for example, then he is also wired into your mind. Unless you are a professional, you may elect to avoid this possibility. He is alert and paying attention. There are other, less frightening, uses for psychometry. Dousing, or water-witching is a form of psychometry. How does that branch or that coat hanger or your arms know that there is water down there or way over yonder? One can also search for energy sources, such as oil, using psychometry. Body scanning for variations in the electomagnetic field can indicate changes in the physical body's wellness. Some persons enjoy weather forecasting using this technique. Rock hunters and escavators can determine the vibes of the land and the nature of what is buried there. In search and rescue, psychometry can be used to read the trail or get a sense of the presence of the missing person or animal (or object) by handling that which they may have touched; also, by walking the area for atmospheric and terrestrial changes in vibrations and psi imprinting. Photographs of the missing can be scanned. Remember the way in which your image finds itself on a piece of paper or film? Are you still laughing at those old ones from the past who said that they did not want to be photographed because they did not want their spirit to be stolen? Can man find gold? The tools are there. If the motivation and practice are present and no danger is present to distract him, it is possible. Practice. Play hide and seek. Follow that pig to the mushrooms. Learn about sharks. Sharks are great teachers of these skills. Do you doubt the ability of the shark to bio-locate you in the water? Sharks are hyper-sensitive to alterations in vibrations. An oceanic area that has been experiencing hurricanes, earthquakes, magma plumes, or changes in atmospheric pressure will have over-reactive sharks present until their senses tell them that they have swum away from danger or that things have quieted down. Similarly, if a competitor shark is migrating through their territory, the territorial shark knows it and will be on high "guard" at all times. These are days when swimming with the shark is not advised. At other times, the same shark will likely make note of your presence before you see him and let you pass. One of man's oldest skills...part of man's original equipment... magic? The next time you want to know the weather, turn off the television and relax and breathe the outdoor air. Ask yourself, "what's coming? And, at what time will it arrive? Is it near?" Psychometrize. Copyright 2007-2022.All Rights Reserved. Asha of Antares.Asha Ariel Aleia. |
