People who worship the King James Bible!!?? What on earth is this Crosby man on about now I hear you ask? Whoever heard of such a thing? Well if you’re new to things mainstream Christian and Biblical it will all sound very strange, even surreal, but unfortunately, it’s true. There actually are people out there who worship the King James Bible. How and why do they do that? Easy, they revere it as faultless, perfect or, in their favourite word, ‘inerrant’. To these people there are no errors in the King James Bible and the subject of its ‘inerrancy’ has become, to them, a religion. Now, once something becomes the object of a religion, by default, it then becomes the object of their worship. The other sad part, as a result, of this peculiar behaviour is that it causes other mainstream Christians to get their trousers in a twist and ally themselves with certain modern translations; principally the ESV (English Standard Version) and NIV (New International Version), as a type of rebellion.

All this infantile posturing is what I call mainstream Christian ’emotional knee-jerk-ism’ and it is a very common phenomenon within their circles and has been for generations. If you analyse the history of all the mainstream Christian denominations you will find someone, somewhere, had a brainwave of supposed Biblical understanding or something new and before you could say Jack Robinson their fellowships would be split down the middle with half supporting the new doctrine and the other half supporting the old, and this is how it is with the issue of Holy Bible Versions. It is also a classic example of how schisms or divisions take place amongst them. It’s bad enough when there is a major doctrinal falling out, but to divide over the issue of what version of the Holy Bible they use is, to me, stupidity in the extreme. Then again, we have to remember that most of them are deluded anyway so I suppose schisms and divisions are to be expected (Please see my article “The Deluded Condition of Mainstream Christianity”).

So why is this Holy Bible Version issue so contentious? Well, it’s because over the last few decades numerous new versions of the Holy Bible have been published – two, of which, I have already mentioned. These new versions are written in modern everyday English, moving away from the Shakespearian English of the King James Version, which was published in 1611. This version was authorised by King James I of England and VI of Scotland, hence it is also known as the Authorised Version. At this point, let me make it clear, that without doubt, it is the premier English Holy Bible and has no equals, no matter what modern translation fans may say. The reason it is still the premier version is simply because it has less errors, or man made contaminations, in it than the modern versions. That being said, modern versions can be helpful when studying certain passages of Holy Scripture where the old English can be very difficult to decipher and understand. This means that although I use The KJV most of the time, I do refer to modern translations as well, as we should, if we are true seekers of The Truth in the written Word.

I won’t carry on here with the KJV versus modern translations argument for I wish to return to the subject of inerrancy with regard to the KJV.

Now are these people right to make this claim, for I can prove without a lot of difficulty that there are errors within the pages of the King James Bible, but are they errors in the true sense? By that, I mean, are they errors that are caused by God? No, they are not; they are contaminations or the errors of religious men, or the additions of religious men, and men with a religious agenda or three. You see, what these KJV only people cannot seem to get through their heads is the fact that man has been tampering with God’s Holy Word ever since it was written down. It’s no good quoting Holy Scriptures like Matthew 24:35 and Psalm 12:6-7 for it proves nothing other than The Lord’s sayings will be preserved, not the written word:

Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

These verses in Psalm 12 are speaking about the generations of Israel and how God’s people have been preserved through all time from their enemies. Verse 6 breaks the context of this theme by referring to the preservation of God’s Word, and returns to preservation of the people in verse 7. The KJV only people seem to think that verse 7 is an ancient promise to preserve their favoured Bible only. This can only be presumptuous reasoning of men. That being said we do have an issue, especially in verse 7, for according to Adam Clarke in his commentary some manuscripts have ‘us’ instead of ‘them’, so this verse could have a dual meaning, for the Israelites and Jews have all been preserved down through the generations from that generation and so have the Lord’s Sayings but not necessarily the written Word and certainly not just within the pages of the King James Version.

Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:35 Proves what I am saying, notice, heaven and earth shall pass away which, by default, must include all written words. The written Word cannot survive the passing away of the earth and heaven. So how does the Lord preserve His sayings? Through more sayings – the spoken Word of men empowered by the Holy Spirit.

How do these KJV only people explain how Christians from the first century through to circa 1500, when the first English Bibles were translated by Wycliffe and Tyndale, manage to hear God’s Word. For a thousand years, from circa 500 AD to circa 1500 AD, the Holy Word of God was hidden in Latin, so English people could not read it even if they wanted to. Where was the KJV then? It wasn’t, for it had not been written nor had it been printed so how did these early Christians learn? From the Lord’s Sayings as mentioned in Psalm 12:6. It’s all about sayings, the verbalised word, not the written word and it’s the sayings that are preserved. Here is another thing, the Wycliffe and Tyndale Bibles differed from the King James Bible and yet they were still God’s Holy Word written down. They came before the King James Bible so were they inerrant too? No, of course not, but they were certainly good enough for a nation of people who had never seen God’s Holy Word in print in their own language before. They must have been like manna from heaven and not a KJV Bible in sight.

We have to understand too that Paul had no written word apart from the OT Holy Scriptures. Paul went with a new message, a new Holy Spiritual verbal message so his hearers didn’t have a KJV Bible to refer to. The first written words of the New Testament were in Greek, there was a Hebrew version of Matthew’s Gospel and some say there was an Aramaic version of Mark’s Gospel, but no one knows for sure. Either way there was no KJV Bible, but there were True Believers and vibrant Church areas.

What other evidence do we have? As it happens, quite a lot and all from the KJV:

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

This is what The Lord promised He would preserve – His Sayings, His spoken Word, not His written Word. When we look at the complete history of the Church of God we can plainly see that the spoken Word has been the main instrument for spreading God’s Good News message, not the written Word. Having said that I will not diminish the importance of the written Word in our latter technological age of the printing press and the KJV does not have a monopoly in this medium and it is not without errors. For an example of these errors please see my series of articles on Ogre gods and in particular the articles on the trinity doctrine.

After all I have written you may want to say something like this to me: “OK, so what you’re saying is that all Holy Bibles cannot be relied upon for absolute Truth is that what you are suggesting Charles Crosby? Yes, I am and that is why we have to search things out to see if they are just so, as did the Bereans in Paul’s time. As someone once said to me: “The Lord feeds the birds, but He doesn’t sprinkle their food in their nests!”
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

People who take sleeping pills often hope that will increase their sleep enough to make them more energetic in the day. They may hope that will improve their long-term health. Its effects are just the opposite of what people hope.

Prescribed sleeping pills are basically chemical that force your brainwave to slow down, hence make you feel relax, and enter to the Alpha brainwave and therefore, you go to sleep. But the fact is you spend way too much time in Alpha stage which you only feel rejuvenate when you get enough deep sleep (Delta brainwave). That explains you are so tired and feel disoriented in the next morning.

Here’s what you should do if you are currently taking these sugar coated poison to help you sleep. You should stop taking it by cutting it down a half dosage today, and see what happen tomorrow. It’s very likely that you don’t need that heavy dose and still be able to fall asleep at night fine. Once you got your ‘numbers’, gradually cut it a half per day, drink plenty of water, exercise to boost your metabolism. That can help you kick that evil habit.

It is found that people who used prescribed sleep aids had significantly higher mortality. Even when people were matched for age, sex, race, and education, and a total of 32 health risk factors, those who reported taking sleeping pills 30 or more times per month had 25% more mortality than those who said that they took no pills at all. However, it did not determine which particular sleeping pills were associated with this risk.

Try melatonin, a natural hormone sleep-aid, that will help to make you tired and allow for a good night’s sleep. The pineal gland in your brain naturally secretes minute amounts of this hormone. Since each body can be slightly different, not everyone will produce equal amounts of it. Begin with the strength on the bottle. If it doesn’t seem to work over the first few nights, DECREASE the dosage slightly. This may seem a bit paradoxical to do, but the amount of melatonin the brain produces on its own is very tiny – somewhere around 300mcg. The brain is more responsive to this natural, tiny amount than it is to larger, overwhelming doses. The idea is to mimic the secretions of the pineal gland as closely as possible to help put your brain back into your natural sleep rhythms and where it needs to be asleep, that is – naturally! This will help you to avoid sleeping pills.

You can also drink herbal “sleepytime” tea before bed. In particular, consume valerian and chamomile which are both usually active ingredients in these teas, or purchase them separately in pill or liquid form. Valerian is a completely natural plant derivative, which will help you to get a good sleep.

People who suffer with insomnia know the dread of trying to fall asleep at a decent hour, but can not because of the mind running like a broken record. Tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable, and when you finally do, your thoughts start going back over the problems that you really can’t do anything about anyway. This is unfortunately what happens to many people every night. Then, they wake up tired and cranky from lack of sleep, and stay tired all day, only to find themselves going through the same thing again that night.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some way we could train our minds to fall asleep naturally when we laid down for the night? Well, now this can be done quite easily with the use of Binaural Beats. Simply putting on a headset and listening to a soothing sound after you’ve settled in bed, and you will be asleep in no time. After a few nights of use, your mind will be trained to go to sleep at the time you’ve trained it to.

Binaural Beats are effective at curing insomnia because of the two different frequency waves that are created and sent to each ear separately. The brain cannot process this effect, causing it to create a third frequency to produce a balance. This causes the mind to change from beta brainwaves to Alpha to Theta to Delta brainwaves, which are the brainwaves that are experienced during deep sleep and through the REM stage, which is necessary for feeling well rested throughout the entire next day. In as little as 15 minutes a person can be in a deep sleep, while using this product. These changes in brainwaves are the same as what happens to the brain during normal sleep patterns. The Binaural Beats are simply causing the brain to act as it should be doing for getting a good night’s sleep.

This program can also be used for taking a short nap. It can cause the brain to go through the sleep cycles briefly to provide a deep well rested nap, waking refreshed and energetic. This works even for people who can’t normally sleep during the day even though they could benefit from a quick nap. Another benefit of Binaural Beats is its ability to raise consciousness. The frequencies of Binaural Beats can be programmed to put the mind into the Gamma brainwave frequency causing clearer, more focused awareness.

Although the name Binaural Beats sounds like it would consist of melody, this is not the case. What is heard is simple neutral raw noise that is not masked by background music. This makes it easy to listen to and more effective.

People were stunned, captivated, and questioning about the game that’s able to move and elevate the ball entirely through power of brain waves. The Mattel Mindflex game is unique and quite a refreshing game. It’s not like the old editions of existing games a lot of current customers of Mindflex have seen and have been baffled at its technical ability. A psycho kinesis type of a game, this toys become the most entertaining, most unique fun that’s presently available on the market.

Just because it has a lot of hype circling on it does not mean that it really deserves anything. If you’re thinking of buying the Mattel Mindflex game, I would like to ask you to learn about real user’s review of the game, so you’ll be able to attain the best decision in buying. This isn’t inexpensive, does this value enough for your money and should it get on to your shopping list?

In the first place, Mattel Mindflex has been bragged as among the must have toys. It has raised many eyebrows back at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. This is a game that exclusively applies the ability of telekinesis (object movement done by one’s mind) and is surely not something common.

It has this so called “cool factor” and a bit of an “unconvincing factor”. Here’s a little background, in case you are not acquainted on how to play this game:

First, put on a fashionable headset and with the aid of unique design sensors situated on the forehead and earlobes, it interprets your brainwaves. You must have a 100 % concentration. The headset functions on your brainwaves, to arrive at ball movement at any direction your brain is forcing it in.

Second, signals will convert into energy that’s being used to force the fan in game set. These fans elevate the ball in the air and if there’s lots of brain activity going on, the fan spins faster that would make the ball elevate more higher.

Third, once you work it out on how to hover the ball in the game, you have to cast the ball through series of obstacles and hurdles, called for to reach the goal.

In addition, the ball will not move immediately, hence, you truly need to concentrate. If you lose your concentration in the least, the ball drops and you’ll start the game all over again. It’s been called the “ultimate mental marathon’. As mentioned, full concentration is much needed, thus, without it, the ball drops and you have to start the game entirely. You can advance to level of difficulty even though you win one course of the game.

Mattel Mindflex game comes in complete manual that explains distinctly on how to establish focus and how to use your attention in achieving results you prefer to.

Mattel Mindflex has demonstrated differently than the ordinary psyched up toy. It’s been in the public eye for quite sometime and bombast reviews start coming in and it looks like it will not stop.

To Mattel’s relief, people fell in love when they screened it at the convention. On these, I suggest that you experienced it yourself and choose your own variation today.

People think death from lack of sleep is impossible. Well, you know what, people are stupid! Not only is death from lack of sleep possible, it happens all the time — and that’s even with using so-called insomnia natural remedies! Admittedly, you’re not just going to suddenly drop dead if you’re lacking sleep — it’s not that quick or that deadly. However, if steps aren’t taken soon, it could happen down the line.

The reason you “could” die from lacking sleep is because of the weakening of your immune system. No sleep means little to no energy. No energy, your body becomes increasingly weaker and you become more susceptible to infections and viruses over time. If your immune system becomes too weak, or crosses the point or no return, a strong virus or bacterial infection could very well finish you off.

If you’d rather avoid death from lack of sleep, then you really have to get on top of the situation and do something to fix your lack of sleep problems. Does this mean you should start using all of those common and very popular insomnia natural remedies? Nope, as most of those “popular” insomnia natural remedies just don’t work!

Here’s The List of Ineffective Insomnia Remedies…

– Deep Breathing

– Keeping to a Regular Sleep Schedule

– Avoiding Caffeine & Sugar Ladened Products

– Avoiding Junk Food

– Avoiding Alcohol and Tobacco

– Sleeping in a Dark & Cold Room

– Using an Herbal Insomnia Pillow

– Drinking Herbal Tea

– Taking a Warm Bath With Herbal Oils

– Using Insomnia Incense or Candles

– Full Body Massages or Light Massages

IMPORTANT!

The insomnia natural remedies above are NOT a complete waste of time, to be honest. Some of them can relax the body and even help to relieve stress. However, relaxation and stress relief is not, generally speaking, the primary cause of lack of sleep problems. The true cause is increased brainwave activity — meaning the brain’s electrical pulses are not slowing when they are supposed to.

If stress and relaxation is taken care of, yet brainwave activity remains the same, there is little chance of curing your lack of sleep problems. To really fix the problem and avoid death from lack of sleep, you need the best of the best insomnia natural remedies — You need brainwave entertainment! It’s the one and only remedy that can alter your brain’s electrical pulses and get you ready for deep sleep.

People learn to meditate for various reasons, and meditation can have huge benefits for your physical, mental and emotional health. While there are many books and articles available on how to meditate, it’s also important to be aware of some of the pitfalls that meditation can involve, and what not to do. In this article we’ll take a look at three things that often derail new meditators, and what you should do to avoid them.

This is not to try to put anyone off meditating – just the opposite in fact. To have the best chance of sticking with it, and getting the most from your sessions, you need to know what to expect when learning to meditate, and what are realistic expectations about what you can expect to experience.

So, here are three things to try to avoid when learning to meditate.

1. Impatience

First and foremost, don’t expect results too soon. Like anything else, meditation is a skill that needs to be learned and practised. While some people seem to be naturally gifted at keeping their thoughts focused, for most of us it’s more difficult, and it takes time to learn to quiet the mind and experience the full benefits of meditation.

So, what should you expect instead? You should be prepared to meditate every day without any real expectations to begin with. This might sound a bit odd to those who are typically goal-orientated, but meditation is really one of those things that should be done for its own sake, at least at the start. Later on, you might want to meditate for specific purposes, such as reducing anxiety or developing extra-sensory perception, but for now, just focus on sitting in meditation without an end goal in mind. This way, you’ll feel less frustrated on those inevitable days where you sit there with thoughts racing madly around your head, and feel like ‘nothing’s happening’.

2. Inconsistency

Second, you should avoid inconsistency – this means making it a priority to set some time aside each day for your meditation practice. Why? Simply because the more often you meditate, the easier it becomes to quiet the mind and connect with your inner self. If you just do a bit here and now when you’re ‘in the mood’, chances are you’ll never move beyond that frustrating beginner stage where your mind is jumping around all over the place.

So try committing to meditating every day for at least several weeks before making any judgements about whether it’s ‘working’ for you or not.

3. Negativity From Others

Third, you should avoid letting others influence your meditation practice. This may not be an issue for everybody, but meditation is still viewed as a kind of weird thing to do by many people. So if you have others in your life who make disparaging remarks about meditation, you should ignore them. If you let the opinions of others influence you away from doing something you really want to do, chances are you’ll end up being miserable, because you’re not living in accordance with your real values.

So, resist any attempts by others at derailing you from your meditation practice, and eventually you’ll probably find that they’ll come to respect your decision to stick with it – and if they don’t, it’s really not your problem.

If you’re a new meditator, you can make starting a meditation practice much easier if you listen to a brainwave entrainment recording. Such a recording incorporates sounds of specific frequencies, which are designed to guide your brain into a deeply relaxed state. When the brain is relaxed, the chatter of our conscious thoughts naturally slows down, and the absence of this ‘mind chatter’ makes meditation easier and more effective.

Brainwave entrainment is especially valuable for new meditators, because it can be very hard to learn to focus on relax the mind using traditional techniques. This way, the recording gives your brain a kind of ‘crutch’, which can be really useful during the learning process – and eventually your brain will become so used to entering a deep meditative state, that you won’t even need to recording!

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

People have got some crazy notions around binaural music.

Read some of the stuff about binaural music on the internet today and it sounds like some kind of magical, mystical hocus-pocus miracle mechanism. It sounds like the kind of thing you might see on a Saturday morning infomercial:

“Simply download our amazing binaural beats program, strap on a pair of headphones, and suddenly you can lose 16 pounds, meditate like a 73-year old Buddhist monk, perform athletically like an Olympian, be the proud owner of a set of brighter, whiter teeth and – of course – find true love. Call today. Operators are standing. Bye.”

Well, binaural beats do work – and they’re great for helping to put our minds in resourceful states of mind. But they are not “mystical-schmystical.” In fact, they are anything but.

Now I’m sure you’ve all heard the story of physicist Christian Huygens who invented the pendulum clock. Not surprisingly, he had several such clocks operating in his studio. One day he noticed that all of the pendulums were swinging together. As an experiment, Huygens restarted all the clocks so that the pendulums were all swinging independently of each other. After a while, the pendulums adjusted their speeds until they were swinging in unison once again. He named this phenomenon of periodic or vibrating bodies synchronizing themselves to each other entrainment.

Now, some will use this example of the independent pendulum clocks to prove that everything in the universe is connected to each other or to demonstrate mental telepathy or as “proof” that all our brains are hooked together in a collective unconsciousness. They will make this whole entrainment process sound like some kind of paranormal, metaphysical, supernatural phenomenon. And, because it uses a similar entrainment process, they may also imply that binaural music is therefore also some sort of magical mystical and all-powerful universal force.

Now who am I to say these theories aren’t true? But still, I find them very hard to believe. I believe in science.

Hang a pendulum clock on the wall. Then press your ear against the wall. Do you hear the clock? Of course you do. You hear the clock because the sound waves are travelling through the wall. The clock is vibrating the wall.

If you hang a second clock on the wall, they will eventually synchronize because they are both trying to vibrate the wall (and each other). The two clocks and the wall form a system. The clocks will eventually sync up because it takes less energy to move the wall together than against each other. It’s simple science. Physics – not metaphysics.

The same with binaural music. We present sounds to the ears. The vibrating diaphragms in the earphones vibrate our eardrums at the same frequency (entrainment). The inner ear mechanisms create electrical impulses at those same frequencies. Cochlear nerves carry these impulses to the brain. And our brainwaves gradually sync up to those frequencies (entrainment again).

So binaural music is not just ordinary music. It is functional music. It creates frequencies within our brain. And, through the process of entrainment, our brain waves lock onto the frequency presented to it. And when the brain waves follow, our state of mind adjusts itself. So, like the clocks on the wall; the earphones, our ears and our brain form a system. And eventually all function at the same frequency.

So we can use specific binaural beats programs to energize us, calm us down, focus our, mind, meditate, relax or put us into a “super-learning” state of mind.

Sorry. It’s not magic. It’s just good science.

People have been utilizing and hearing about biofeedback for over forty years. However, until recently, many people were not able to afford this type of alternative therapy because the cost of hiring a biofeedback therapist, with their expensive equipment, was just out of reach. But, in the last several years, a new type of biofeedback system has been introduced by a few companies, which has provided access at a dramatically reduced cost, making this type of therapy available to a much broader range of people.

There are a number of companies now that have taken advantage of the recent developments in technology to provide biofeedback machines at a much reduced cost and some might be surprised to learn that these companies have even made a “game out of it.” For example, the Wild Divine biofeedback computer game engages a person’s attention and draws them into the challenge of the diversion, just like any other video game.

Unlike an expensive, medical biofeedback system, the Wild Divine biofeedback gaming console has a distinct twist that will surprise most people. While it does include software that runs on your computer, the unique aspect to this computer game is that there is no joystick to control and you don’t use your mouse or keyboard to interact while playing the game.

Instead, the Wild Divine software package includes a set of finger sensors that slip onto three of your fingers. These sensors are attached to a small biofeedback device which then plugs into the USB port on your computer. The game is not controlled by the motion of your fingers, but instead it reads the electrical impulses being sent through your fingers as a result of changes in your brainwave patterns, making this a true biofeedback game.

This game approach is quite unlike the kind of biofeedback system that you would find in a clinic, which you might visit to receive a neurofeedback therapy session. Traditional biofeedback machines show a series of charts, graphs, lights and other readouts and also often incorporate sounds, which is what displays the all-important feedback information.

But with the Wild Divine biofeedback game, the feedback that the user receives is all in terms of an adventure video game. By the use of thoughts to control brainwave function, the electrical impulses are changed, sent through the small biofeedback device attached, to your personal computer and the game responds accordingly. You are able to move through a variety of levels that present increasingly difficult challenges, which you must meet with improved control over your brainwave activity.

With the costs of neurotherapy being prohibitively high for so many people, even for those who are extremely interested in taking advantage of the benefits of this holistic treatment modality, the Wild Divine biofeedback gaming console has been quickly embraced. The Wild Divine system is quite inexpensive and the basic starter kit includes the software and all needed accessories to start making use of this unique form of a biofeedback system.

People have been fascinated by psychic abilities for centuries. Those possessing these powers have been both revered and feared, and while mainstream science today remain sceptical of the very existence of psychic phenomena, the police and other official agencies have made use of psychics to help further their aims.

But what are psychic abilities really? The term ‘psychic’ is something of a catchall phrase that is used to refer to various different capabilities, and any individual psychic may exhibit one or several of these. Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly known types of extrasensory power.

Telepathy

Telepathy is the ability to perceive the thoughts and feelings of others by means other than the five senses. A telepathic person may be able to read the thoughts of other people with varying degrees of clarity, and/or to pick up their emotional states. It has been relatively widely studied within the field of parapsychology, although such studies are controversial.

Remote Viewing

Remote viewing occurs when information is obtained about an object or location at a distance, which isn’t within view of the physical eyes and other senses. Remote viewers may perceive the distant object in their ‘minds eye’, and such people have been used by the military, law enforcement agencies and others to gather data and help solve crimes.

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience & Clairsentience

Clairvoyance is a somewhat general term that refers to the ability to gather information and knowledge via extra-sensory means. The word literally means ‘clear vision’, and may be used more specifically to refer to information that is sensed visually. Clairaudience in contrast, denotes the reception of auditory information (such as voices and other sounds) via extra-sensory methods, whereas clairsentience is the perception of ‘feeling’ or emotional information.

Psychokinesis

Psychokinesis – which is also known as PK or telekinesis – is the ability to move physical objects or to otherwise influence physical matter with the power of the mind. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, psychokinesis is really a broad label for a wide variety of ‘mind over matter’ phenomena, whereas telekinesis more specifically refers to the movement of objects (including at the microscopic level). Psychokinesis is sometimes confused with poltergeist activity.

Although such psychic powers as these have been demonstrated in cultures around the world throughout history, they haven’t been widespread. Instead, ‘psychics’ are usually seen as some kind of breed apart, who were fortunate enough to be born with abilities that are inaccessible to most. However, extra-sensory abilities aren’t just the preserve of the lucky few, but are an inherent human capability that we all possess. In most people, psychic abilities remain dormant, but they can be awakened with training.

One way to learn to tap into your own psychic abilities is to use brainwave entrainment. This involves listening to a recording featuring sounds of specific frequencies, which enables you to access altered states of consciousness more easily. The hidden potentials of the mind are more accessible during trance, and a brainwave entrainment recording that features binaural beats or similar technologies makes it easier to enter and maintain a trance state without having to spend years learning conventional meditation techniques.

People around the world have been fascinated by psychic abilities such as remote viewing, telepathy and clairvoyance for millennia, although the general perception has been that only a few people are lucky enough to have such powers, and you’re either born with them or you’re not.

However, there is also the view that psychic power is a normal human capacity that simply lies dormant in most, which may be able to be awakened. To this end, there is a whole variety of exercises and techniques that have been developed to help people become psychic. Among the most powerful of these is meditation.

Meditation is useful because it helps you to learn to control your mind – and a high degree of mental control is essential for most people who want to awaken their psychic powers.

Most people live with constant mental chatter – the proverbial ‘monkey mind’ of eastern philosophy, which jumps from thought to thought in a random, uncontrolled manner. When you begin meditating and try to bring these thoughts under control (such as by focusing on something like your breath or a mantra, or trying to quieten your mind completely), chances are you’ll find the process is quite difficult.

With practice however, meditation becomes easier, as you become more skilled at allowing your thoughts to focus and settle down. When this happens, it’s easier to achieve and maintain a trance state, in which brainwave activity is slower than in normal waking consciousness. It is during trance that psychic abilities tend to flower, and most of the exercises and techniques that have been put forward for becoming psychic involve a high degree of mental focus and relaxation.

So, a regular meditation practice can help you to develop the mental skills necessary for psychic ability to emerge. There are many different types and styles of meditation, and it may take some experimentation to find that which suits you best. However, one of the easiest and most effective meditation methods is to listen to a brainwave entrainment recording.

Such recordings feature repetitive sounds (such as binaural beats or isochronic tones) of specific frequencies. These are designed to help the brain slow down, and produce more of the lower frequency brain waves that are associated with meditative trance states. This works thanks to a phenomenon called the ‘frequency following response’, where the brain has a tendency to match its own brainwave output to the frequencies of the sounds it is hearing.

For best results, you should listen to the recording regularly (preferably daily), and be prepared to persevere. Although brainwave entrainment makes the process much easier than traditional techniques, you still need to practice to get results, as with anything else.
