 Hello there, I'm James, of course if you're watching this you probably already knew that, and ever since I was a small child I have wanted to be psychic. See some kids want to be astronauts or firemen, no no, what I wanted to do was speak to the dead and move objects with my mind, and I've never quite been able to do that before. But today I have a lovely stack of books here that are all going to teach me how to be psychic, and hopefully you guys can watch this instructional video and learn how to be psychic as well. Let's get started. This is the introduction song, it's not very good but it's not too long. So up first we have So You Want to be Psychic, develop your hidden powers by Billy Roberts. And this one has all sorts of stuff, it teaches you exercises, it teaches you the basics of how these powers work, it teaches you how to be telepathic, look at visions of the future, heal others using the power of your mind, and experience astral travel. So how does this one start off? There's a list of criteria here which tells you about whether or not you might have psychic abilities, so let's read through some of them. Do you ever sense that the telephone is going to ring? And it does? Yes. Do you sometimes know what your partner is going to say just before they speak? Well, I don't have a partner so no. Do you ever have strong feelings about something that is going to happen? And it does? Well, one time I saw a guy run a red light and I felt like he was about to crash into another car and then he did. So I'll say yes. Have you ever been alone in the house and suddenly felt as though someone is watching you or standing behind you? Oh, if you guys feel that, that's probably me, I apologize. Do you ever dream of specific things or situations that later happen? Once in a while, one time I dreamed I was at school taking a test and then a couple of days later I had to go to school to take a test, so yeah, I would say so. Do you ever see pinpoints of intense bright light around people's heads or pinpoints of color floating in the air? I used to, but then I got surgery. Have you ever seen a colored mist around people or animals? Only when I'm at concerts. Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt certain that you knew them from somewhere, although you don't? One time I met a guy who I thought was Will Smith, but then he turned out to not be Will Smith. Does that count? Have you ever walked into a house for the first time and immediately been overwhelmed by its warmth, coldness, happiness, sadness? I can't say I have with that one, no. When you are drifting into sleep, do you ever hear someone calling your name? Yes, and it's usually followed by someone bursting into my room and demanding my money. Have you ever been overwhelmed by a fragrance that no one else can smell and which reminds you of a dead relative or friend? No, but I have had the opposite happen. Yeah, one time when I was in middle school, I was in the locker room and someone pulled the top off of a can of ax and threw it into the locker room like a tear gas canister and everyone else was coughing and wheezing, but I had a cold, so I couldn't smell it when everyone else could. I didn't realize that made me psychic. Have you ever handled a piece of antique jewelry and found pictures and impressions forming in your mind? No, but that happens with books sometimes. Have strong feelings ever forewarned you not to go to a certain place or do a particular thing? Well, one time my cousin wanted to throw a match into an entire box of unlit fireworks to see what would happen and I thought that that would be unsafe. I had a feeling that something bad would happen if we tried that, so I convinced him not to. When someone is unwell, do you ever feel compelled to place your hands on them in an attempt to make them feel better? Yeah, sometimes. Have you ever seen patterns on curtains or carpets change into faces? I can't say I've seen them change into faces, but I have seen faces. It is quite common to have experienced two or perhaps three of the things listed above. However, to have experienced six or seven of them does show that you have psychic potential. If you answer yes to ten or even all the things listed, then you most certainly have a higher than average psychic potential. Read on. So, based on that one quick test, we can tell that I have very high psychic potential and many of you watching probably do as well. So, the rest of the book is basically just a series of exercises about learning to draw out your power and how you can properly use it. So, the first couple of chapters are just explaining a little bit about how it works. It explains about your body's chakras and how your aura comes from and how your aura is like your spirit made manifest. And it talks about prana, which is this energy that infuses everything. The nuts and bolts of how it works. Very scientific stuff. I don't want to bore you by going into the dry details. It's more fun to focus on the how to use it. Like there's this one exercise that involves you taking two pieces of paper with dots on them and then staring at them for a while. And this is supposed to enhance your image-making faculty and eventually precipitate the clairvoyant ability. So, basically, it teaches you how to better make images with your mind. See? That's useful. Even if you don't go for psychic powers, that's useful. Although I will say that probably the most interesting part of this book is around halfway through when you learn how to speak to the dead. There's a lot of exercises involved before you can really get to the proper area where you can do it. I've had to do them. I didn't film them actually, so you'll just have to take my word on that. But, basically, one of them is you have an audience of a couple of people and they're supposed to give you objects from a dead person which has some of their energy infused in it. You know, an object that meant a lot to them in life or that they always have with them, something like that. And then you're supposed to hold on to it and then just get a piece of paper and draw whatever comes to mind. That seems real to me. Like, you know, that obviously the spirit is speaking through your mind. But the most accurate way to talk to the dead is, according to Billy Roberts, to hit that gap between consciousness and unconsciousness, which is best done when you're about to fall asleep or just barely waking up. So, basically, what it tells you to do here is to lay down in bed like you're about to go to sleep but you still have to get, you know, an object that has energy from a dead person and you just hold it and think about them a lot and think about them and think about them and think about them. And then, as your mind starts to get more tired, your conscious and unconscious minds will merge together and then you can see into the prana of the universe and you can connect with that dead person and you can speak to them. It'll kind of feel like you're asleep and it'll seem almost dreamlike when you're there. But don't worry, you can talk to dead people. I tested it myself and this one I actually did film, unfortunately, the footage is really dark because I can't really sleep with the lights on. And, anyways, here it is. Here's me talking to my dead grandfather. Hello there. What? Really? That's crazy. Okay, bye. You can also read minds and the way you test that is by, again, just looking at someone, trying to focus on them and their energy and then just drawing whatever comes to your mind. And, obviously, it's what's in their head. That's how telepathy works. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to use their psychic powers for good and some people will use it to attack others. So there is a segment about learning to defend yourself and that one is actually pretty basic compared to everything else. Like once you've already gone through all the exercises and accessed prana and figured out how to manipulate your aura, you basically just have to meditate in order to keep yourself calm because otherwise people might psychically attack you which can cause you to feel sad sometimes. Yeah, it's actually not that impressive when I think about it. But enough about Billy Roberts. Now we move on to Mind Over Matter by Lloyd Auerbach, a comprehensive guide to discovering your psychic powers. Now, unfortunately, this one is less of an instruction manual on how to do it and more of a refutation of those skeptics and non-believers who think that we're all faking when we show off our psychic powers. And this one is, well, I guess it's fine. I mean, it spends basically the entire book basically just saying, yes, psychics are real rather than giving you any actual advice or training exercises on how to use your powers. But there are a couple of little tidbits that you can use. Like he mentioned specifically that the best athletes in the world get to where they are through psychic powers. You see what they have to do is they have to wake up on very early in the morning usually and then they have to go out and train. And they will train at their chosen sport like crazy. They will lift weights, they will run, do cardio and all that. And while they're doing it, they just imagine themselves as a really good athlete. And then after years and years of this, they will become a really good athlete. Like that's a very real way of using psychic powers, guys. Like if you don't believe it after that, then what will you believe? And here's one of his best refutations to people that think that psychic powers are fake. Just because something could have been fraudulently produced does not make it so. It may decrease the value of evidence as proof given that the circumstances under which the effect of, say, metal bending. There's a giant hole in the box. How is that a trick? Or computer influencing would have to be carefully scrutinized to eliminate the probability of fraud and any opportunity for it. One can never completely eliminate fraud as a possibility since there's always the chance that the experimenter or observer or reporter had lied about what he or she had witnessed. See, guys? All science is basically fake if you go by the idea that maybe people with psychic powers are faking their abilities. Thank you and good night. And up next are the energy codes by Dr. Sue Mortar. Mm, this one's an actual doctor. Now this one is a little bit less interesting than the others because it's just about healing. And it's not even about healing other people. It's just about healing yourself from, you know, various illnesses, cancers, all that. Unfortunately, they had to put a medical disclaimer at the beginning, which says, the publication contains the opinions and ideas of the author. It is intended to provide helpful and informative material on the subjects addressed in the publication. It is sold with the understanding that the author and publisher are not engaged in rendering medical health or any other kind of personal professional services in the book. So you see, the medical community is in on it. They don't want anyone muscling in on their turf and Simon and Schuster, who printed this, are in on it too. This is worse than the time they've published the book written by that neo-Nazi pedophile. So as before, this one basically just starts off trying to convince you that, yes, these powers are real. And it explains how we're all made of energy, which is interesting because Billy Roberts did not mention that before. He said that our aura is a manifestation of ourselves, not that our aura is ourselves. And that prana suffuses everything, but we are not made of prana. So I think they should talk to each other a little bit more, exchange some information, really try and get this all squared out, because it can be a little confusing if everyone who claims to be an expert is saying something different. Now Dr. Sue Mortar also infuses this book with some great anecdotes, like about the time where her dad died and left her out of the will and she didn't get anything and she was really sad for a while, but then she retreated into her energy codes and just calmed down, didn't think about any of her things that were making her feel sad and sort of distanced herself from her emotions and then she felt better. Come on, psychic powers. Probably the most important chapter in this book is chapter nine, the chemistry code, the alchemy of embodiment. And essentially in this she explains how all diseases, all illnesses, all ailments, everything that could possibly be wrong with you is caused by your body's pH level being too high or too low. And in fact, she uses another anecdote here about a man who was feeling really sick for some reason and then she started teaching him her psychic powers, started teaching him about the energy codes, all the important stuff, which like, there are a lot of, someone called them buzzwords in here, but really they're obviously scientific terminology which are defined in here, but I don't really have time to go into all of that. But basically, yes, she taught him about the energy codes and all that and then later it turned out that he was eating bags of rock salt every day and so the real doctors just told him to stop doing that and then he started feeling better. Now, that might seem like, oh, the rock salt was the problem, no, it was the psychic powers. Or how about this woman named Barbara who was really stressed out and had a lot of chronic illnesses and then she went to doctors and they gave her medication which helped her feel a little bit better. But then later she got fired from her job and she was sad about it but she used the energy codes and that made her feel less sad about it. See, before that, her getting fired from her job would have made her feel bad and then it would have made her illnesses pop up and she would have been in a lot of pain and be really sick. Stress has nothing to do with anything. Now I did look into the doctor label on Dr. Sue Mortar because she doesn't actually say what she has a doctorate in. Turns out she's a chiropractor but in addition to that, she is an international speaker, master of bio-energetic medicine and a quantum field visionary. I don't know what any of that means but it sounds really good. And the last one I'm gonna talk about today is just simply called Psychic Healing and it's written by a woman named Sylvia Brown. Sylvia Brown is pretty clearly a prolific author. Like just on the page that says other books by Sylvia Brown, we have almost 30 entries. Stuff like Adventures of a Psychic, Astrology through a Psychic's Eyes, Father God, If You Could See What I See, Mother God, The Mystical Life of Jesus and just a whole bunch of stuff which I mean after reading this, I have to go check some of that out because the life advice in this is amazing. Now this one is similar to Dr. Mortar's book in that it's just about healing yourself. It's not even really about healing other people which is a shame because I was gonna head down to the coronavirus wing at my local hospital to show off my powers but they wouldn't let me in, they said I was trespassing, they said I had to have a mask on, whatever, not important. So this one I'm mostly gonna focus on the area that deals with healing diseases, specifically chapter 11, Alzheimer's, AIDS and other specific concerns. Now the most important thing to remember is that if you think you might get sick, you'll get sick but if you don't think you'll get sick and you are really confident that your body's energy can hold it off, then you won't get sick. Like this example she uses here. During the great black death that swept across Europe and killed so many people, there were some who were immune to it, especially the Jewish community. The theory is that because Jews wouldn't eat certain types of meat and they were very clean, it resulted in increased immunity. I'm not saying that non-Jews are dirty. However, at that time in the history, cleanliness wasn't prevalent in Europe or in many other areas of the world and surgeons were doing operations without washing their hands or instruments. You might ask, so they were spared because of cleanliness or did they actually have some type of superimmunity? It was probably a little or both. Wrong or right, the Judea people tended to believe in the Old Testament statement that the good will be saved. So folks really believe that they're good and blessed in the eyes of God. They have more of a chance of a miracle happening to them or of being saved than those who feel their degenerate despairing wretches. The Jews spirituality and belief in God helped them combat the plague. You see guys, people in medieval Europe were not nearly religious enough and that's why bad things happen to them. Okay, you know what? I can't, I can't, I can't even, I can't anymore. I cannot deal with it. I can't deal with this shit. I can't. This video was originally supposed to just be me going along with it the entire time and showing off experiments and shit, but I can't. I cannot, this is too much bullshit. This is too much bullshit for me. Just thinking about it and being spiritual and believing in God will heal you from all, yeah, yeah, okay, sure. That's why nothing bad has ever happened to Jews before. Jesus Christ, that's not even the worst of it. There are a lot of dangerous ideas relating to not just physical illnesses, but mental ones as well. Like Sylvia Brown says this about dyslexia. Dyslexia is directly tied into cell memory. It's not a disease, nothing is wrong with the serotonin levels in the brain and there is no chemical imbalance. If you want to be specific, it actually comes from lives lived in Atlantis and Asia because people in those areas read from right to left and dyslexia is a carryover of that. So reincarnation, that's why people have dyslexia. You cracked the code, Sylvia. That doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't everyone have dyslexia without the case? Like if some people who are reincarnated had ancestry or not even ancestry, but a past life in places where they read right to left, wouldn't everyone on earth have it? Because either we'd be trying to read right to left when our mind wants to say left to right or vice versa. That doesn't make any sense. And then she just shits all over ADHD saying it stems from someone being bored and lazy and that Ritalin is a terrible medication which when she was a school teacher she refused to give to her kids. Fuck you Sylvia, I hope you see this you stupid cunt. And then she talks about the AIDS virus like the viruses are people, they sneak into the cells and then convert them to their religion. That's the metaphor she uses which is not completely, completely wrong but then she says like you just have to think really hard and get your cell memory back on track and it'll heal you from having AIDS. Like how do you deal with any of this, this shit or how out timers is because your individual cells keep forgetting shit? Like that's not how it works Sylvia. Okay our brains are just a series of neurons that all share information with one another and out timers is just they're dying. Okay it's a little more complicated than that but that is the gist of it, they're dying and that's why your short-term memory goes away. I can't even pretend to not be angry anymore. Here's the thing, these authors basically all write the exact same book over and over and over again. And as far as grifts go, it's pretty good. You know you're basically getting people to buy the same stuff over and over again and you're just telling them what they wanna hear. And honestly when it comes to telling people what they wanna hear and trying to give them hope that their life can get better, there are worse people you could be listening to than this. Like there are plenty of propagandists out there who are trying to turn you to extreme political or religious viewpoints in order to get you to, well one, give them money but also sometimes do dangerous shit. And I guess for the most part if you just think that you can communicate with your dead ancestors that's pretty harmless, I would rather people read this than like join an evangelical church or listen to Jordan Peterson or something because Sylvia Brown in that bit about Jews right afterwards she says that like sometimes people want to scapegoat minority groups and they do it because those minority groups are just more spiritual or whatever and like it's incorrect but she is coming right out and saying like hey, don't attack people for being different. So like it could be worse in that regard except when it comes to the health shit. Like I cannot abide by that. Like people already think they know better than their doctors all the time. We're just arrogant like that I guess. And they'll keep doing shit like not taking their medication when they're supposed to or not going in for surgery when their doctor said, yeah, you need this shit. And right now there's a giant fucking plague running around the world which has killed over a million people so far, 230,000 of which are right here in the United States and that number is gonna keep growing because people don't wanna wear the masks, they don't wanna believe that it's actually bad, they don't wanna believe that even if you survive your lungs and heart and shit can be damaged. And so this right here, this and this and this is like the beginning of that kind of misinformation and that kind of oh, the doctors are fake, they don't actually know what they're talking about which leads to real world consequences like this. So I can't even just joke about the health shit anymore. That's actually dangerous and it actually does make me mad. Even with all that said though, I can't really blame the authors for writing these and spreading this misinformation because everything's for sale in this world. We all have to find some way to... Whoa, my rant was interrupted by someone driving really fast and almost hitting my car. We all have to find some way to make a living in this world and some people either can't or don't want to do regular work. Like workers are pitted against one another, we can't all be CEOs or business owners or anything. That's just not how things work. Our economy pits us against one another. So I can't really blame people for doing this. If you have to choose between losing your house or scamming people out of a couple of dollars each, that's not gonna be a difficult decision for most of us. And the idea that your life is bad because you're out of connection with your aura or something and if you just think and wish really hard then things will get better and if it doesn't work then obviously you just didn't want it badly enough. That's just one way of trying to atomize all our problems. Like saying all of your problems are your faults. It's your individual reasons for being good or bad. Like it has nothing to do with the society around you or the system you live in or the circumstances of your birth or anything like that. Like you're good or bad just totally on your own. And I can't, I can't. Like this kind of shit, these kind of psyche books, there are so many hundreds or dozens or thousands or however many of them out there. And as funny as they are, sure, go ahead and pick up a couple, read them once in a while, but for the love of God, don't buy them. Don't give these people more money.
