Techniques to enhance ones perception of divinatory results
It seems to have become an open secret that the US army, amongst others, uses a technique called Remote Viewing. This appears to be a technique where the viewer is able to enter a state where they can ‘see’ something which happened in a different place, or time, and where they are able to make accurate notes on those people and events involved. I was watching a documentary recently where a man who was said to be an ex-army ‘Remote Viewer Trainer’ said that his task was to develop the technique to the point where an ‘infantry grunt’ could use it. He went on to say that such people were selected at random and trained successfully.
This documentary showed (ex- US army) Remote Viewers purportedly plying their craft to great effect. This got me thinking. Perhaps there are techniques here which might increase the diviners understanding when using the Yijing.
Many folk who use the Yijing have rituals, some of which involve focussing techniques. I have my own which I have developed over the last thirty years. On a few occasions I reached a point where I forgot to draw the stones (16 stone technique) in order to do the Yijing reading and simply gave a response. In one case this was about a missing person who turned out to be where I said he was. Indeed, to find him I had actually followed him in my mind and reported a number of places he had been and to whom he had talked. I should add that I did not know the person asking the question or the person they were looking for. The case is worth mentioning because its outcome was clear proof of efficacy.
This documentary has motivated me to try a number of new techniques which I hope will help me ‘see’ the Yi’s answer more clearly. One of these is self hypnosis.
I would be very interested to hear about other peoples techniques on the forum.
