These ESP exercises are a natural extension of the previous exercises because psychic perception (an ESP event) is a side effect of having an empty mind.  When you begin to step outside of your temporal (mortal) mind/matrix, the only thing left is the Eternal Truth Mind/Matrix within you; your given natural mind takes over.  Here is a metaphysical application of the Right Angle Rule (introduced in Chapter 3).  To fill the finite/temporal mind – mortal mind – with non-temporal conveyed information, the mortal mind must be stilled. 
            All ESP is through the One Mind.  Since the Love's Eternal Mind is yours by the nature of God-Creation relationship -- you, ESP is working from the very core of your being.  The major irony around ESP is being psychic is natural; it is not being psychic that is un-natural.
            You are not your temporal matrix -- your mortal mind.  You are not the mental/emotional sets that preoccupy the mortal mind.  Eliminate the truth within the mind and the truth is that which remains.  Consequently, remove truth from the mortal mind and the Eternal Mind with the consequent ESP events tend to manifest. 
            This means that an ESP event manifests automatically or naturally in two ways.  When you either learn to still the mind or when a sufficient amount of absolute truths are programmed into the mind.

            As mentioned in the beginning of this entry, ESP involves some intermediate applications of the mortal mind.  Some background theory is necessary here to help explain and introduce an ESP event; why it works like it does.  The theory can help give you a “from the ‘top’ down” perspective (as opposed to seeing something from the ‘bottom’ up).  Applications of this theory are in the series entries that follow. 
            (Because the theory used here is so interwoven with other elements of I AM A I, it may be better to read Chapter 7, Concerning ESP Events and Psychic Phenomenon.  This way this entry stays ‘relatively’ short.  The chapter gives you the exercises and theory in its entirety, if interested.)
            Here is a sample of some of the theory involved.

All ESP is through the One Loving Eternal Mind. 

            This is Love at work.  It tends not to do something totally alien.  Love is using the mental construct the individual has setup – through their own programming -- to speak through.  And, it is usually in sync with the established perception system.  Most people do not get knocked off their ass on the way to Damascus.  Even though that will occur if that is what it takes for you to grow in God.
            This is why ESP facilities are so hard to scientifically ‘nail down’ – a mystery.  There are so many variables introduced with each mortal mind’s programming, perceptions/desires, choices, etc.  In addition, because most people’s minds are a mystery to them, an ESP event that is ‘clothed’ by their mind has mysterious elements as well.

Whatever you give to Love, it will use.  That means what you give to Love to grow in Love; Love will use to facilitate the process.

From the One Infinite and Eternal Loving Mind’s reference, time and space is: a ‘special case’, irrelevant, non-sequitar, etc. 

• A premonition is ‘you’ in the future, telling ‘you’ in the past, something is about to ‘go down’. 
• With déjà vu, you just accessed a future memory. 

ESP manifestation forms
            An ESP event that makes itself known in our mind may take on one of three basic forms.

1) As a perception: words, images, etc.
2) As emotions, body feelings, sensate (these are still somewhat perceptual, though the perceptions are less clear)
3) Intuition, or a quiet knowing

==> Form 2: As emotions, body feelings, sensate (these are still somewhat perceptual, though the perceptions are less clear)
            The second way (form 2) ESP can appear through the Perceptual Lens Array is in when it involves the desire aspect of the lens.  It usually manifests more as feelings -- sensate.  Something may not feel right.  “I’ve got a gut feeling.”  Or, “I’ve a very bad feeling about this.”  This are still somewhat perceptual, though the perceptions are less clear.
            This form may be just an emotion (like fear) or it can also involve another information route, the body.  In the body example, the information flow comes from Truth through Storage to the body (which makes the ESP information take on an ‘objective event’ appearance), through the ‘front’ of the mind using the Perceptual Lens Array, from Cognition through Knowledge, and then into our awareness in the focus buss.¹

            An important observation is the appearance of these types (form 1 and 2) of psychic phenomena and imagination in the mind is about as far apart as the index and middle fingers.  Psychic phenomenon has a deeper feeling to it than imagination, but there can be trouble telling them apart in the beginning.  That is why caution or questioning can be important.  (And, why an objective system [I Ching or Tarot] may be helpful.)
          ESP has a slightly ‘deeper’ feel to it, and the information can be questioned honestly – truth based questions -- as much as the operator wants.  The truth in the ESP can withstand that questioning.  It is only the real, the truth, which cannot stand up to truthful questioning. 

==> Form 3: Intuition, or a quiet knowing. 
            The third form that psychic information can manifest to an individual is through intuition – a quiet knowing. 
            With intuition there are no words, no pictures, no feelings…no perceptions.  You just quietly know.  Unlike the first two forms of manifestation, this form of ESP does not go through any of the perceptual routes – through the ‘mind’s eye’.  It does not go through the Perceptual Lens Array  -- ‘front’ of the mind -- whatsoever, as the first two forms of manifestation did.  There is no ‘objective’ or ‘subjective event’ representing an Objective Event – the ‘reading’. 
            Intuition manifests from Truth, through Knowledge and bypasses the whole perceptual lens.  It just occurs.  It comes from Truth to the ‘back’ of your mind to you.  This is the form to go for, or work with.  It is the direct route.  And...this is the one that occurs naturally with empty mind exercises. 
            With the other forms, an individual can misinterpret, mislead, or introduce errors – delude oneself.  The first two forms may contain perceptions and meanings attached to former judgments or choices.  This may involve Knowledge as well as mental/emotional sets that involve Programming, and Memory…  Afterward, erroneous interpretations can occur.
            Whereas, in the case of intuition, the individual just knows.  The Programming and Memory storages are not involved as much as Knowledge. 
            It is possible to misinterpret a symbol, as with Tarot cards or something like that.  It is very hard to misinterpret intuition, except after the fact.  You can rationalize or fool yourself about what it means after the knowledge becomes present, but not when receiving the specific input.

            As the first two forms (perception and sensate) are kind of parallel to perception or desire in I AM A I's presented model, intuition (form 3) is an ESP form that works kind of parallel to cognition.  Intuition is an introduction to a psychic skill that does not travel through the perceptional lens. 
          Form 3 – intuition – comes naturally with empty mind exercises.  This form cannot be taught; it happens as a side effect.  This skill is outside of ‘words’.  The other two forms can be consciously cultivated however.

Important: With all three forms of ESP facilitated information, the operator will know ‘something’ is about to happen or is happening.  In some other time/space line, an external event in Actual reality² event collaborates the ESP acquired information. 

            Most psychic readings are in reference to an objective actual event -- Actual reality event, so there must be a correlation between what is happening inside the mind to outside the mind.  Did it work?  Did it turn out as you saw?  What was different between what you saw (or what you interpreted what you saw) and the actuality, etc.?  It can be helpful to categorize the successes or apparent successes, and failures.
            As a child, the author had a strong science background.  When the author first started ‘playing’ in his head, the author would categorize the probability of whether an experience or experiment was a success or not.  Was there a true relation between what was happening in his mind and what is happening outside of his mind? 
            Eventually the author saw that more than yes or no categories were needed, so the author expanded to use the following categories: 

• Nothing: the experiment did not work.
• Possible: is a category where there may be a relationship between what is happening in the author's mind and what is happening outside of the author's mind.  This category can include ‘coincidence’.³ 
• Probable: is a category where coincidence is not entirely ruled out; there is still no absolute confirmation of a psychic event.  Reasoning may have played an important part in this category.  This was especially true when the author was doing any ESP exercise that involves immediate perception of an external (objective) event. 
• Most Probable: is a category where the author was almost positive that a relationship of some sort exists between an external event and his mind/matrix.  Still, the author was not completely sure. 
• Definite: usually transpired when something inside the author’s mind occurred the same time that something happened in Actual reality.  There was a direct one-to-one involvement.  With some exercises, the author could actually feel something coming in or leaving him.  This was especially true when working with magic

            Teaching ESP is equivalent to telling you how to walk.  You have to do the work and make mistakes in order to have recognition.
