Automatic Writing

Automatic Writing

There is always an interest in Automatic Writing. Let me begin by saying it is one of the hardest things to learn to do and surrounded in a lot of myths.

To find out if you are a candidate for automatic writing ask yourself if you are doodler. I know that sounds strange, but I have found that those who take to this genre have been doodling since they got their hands on a crayon. It was a battle in elementary school to return an unmarked text as you kept illustrating the pages. It was also Mission Impossible to stay on the neat lines and then as an adult to write a letter that wasn't leaning one way or the other and I mean the whole line. Often the line formed a nice hill.

Believe it or not, that was something else trying to communicate with you. Spirits are unable to fully communicate everything they want with us due to language and time constraints. Hence, they tend to use the written word as a pictogram and the spoken word with strange inflections. You can see that clearly in this example of automatic writing I did. I might point out that my automatic writing tends to be much clearer than other people's so don't schedule a session and expect this.

The next question is who or what is communicating via this medium. Most psychologists would claim it is your unconscious mind and in many cases, it probably is. However, when the thoughts expressed and the writing is so radically different from yours, it is probably an external intelligence. Once thing I have learned with my ability, is seldom are question answered. All I really get are messages and I have no idea who they are intended for or sometimes what they mean. I tend to get a lot that looks like free form poetry.

How to start is a good question. Many people start with a blank sheet paper making loop after loop until words start forming. This is a technique that requires a lot of paper and normally a second person to remove the sheets of paper or you will have a real mess of words on top of words. The method allows you to enter into a state of meditation or trance by the endless looping until the message comes through.

I don't mind telling you this has never worked for me.

I have found that a magic marker (no pun intended as that is what we called them) is the best medium for me. Once the first word forms, the next flow and how I know it is not me is the simple fact that I am dyslexic. It would be impossible for me to write the following example and not make a myriad of spelling mistakes. When I write, I get words backwards and jumbled the faster I try to write. I leave words out and this was written really fast with no mistakes.

So my technique would be to get a blank sheet of paper, a marker and form a letter. Then just let the thought flow onto the paper. Be happy with one word if that is all you get. This is an effort for both and the entity communicating.

Now you could go through the whole consecrate the paper and ink and cast a protective circle but I have never found anything bad coming through. Anyway, it's a piece of paper, you can burn it and refuse to let whatever shows up have that medium again. The only evil I have ever seen come through this medium and the ouija board... you aren't going to like this..... came straight from someone's own unconscious. So if you have a group of people and nasty stuff starts coming through, you might want to rethink your friends. If it is just you, you might need some therapy. However, I can guarantee an exorcism is not in order as it isn't going to work. Not a demon: YOU.
