Ouija Boards And Automatic Writing Fearsby Tony Elliott 
Posted: 12:55 June 20, 2009
I am surprised at the fear most people have regarding using Ouija Boards. They
have been around for centuries and used primarily for fortune telling.
There is something to Ouija boards however because I have used them many years
ago when I was a teenager and really could feel the movement of the oracle on
its own while my partner and I barely touched it.
The Ouija board is simply a tool used to link up to the grand collective
consciousness of which we all are part of but have trouble accessing in the
physical plain.
Automatic writing or autonomic writing as it was referred to a few decades ago
is the same concept of accessing this universal intelligence, which surrounds
us all and which we are a part. The only difference is one uses a pencil or
writing pen and a piece of paper to bring forth communication via written words
from this intelligence automatically without any physical effort from the
individual.
In exploring, the Ouija board and automatic writing many fear what influences
may come forth in communication. For many who are superstitious or ultra,
religious using these techniques may just bring forth evil influences, which
will affect their minds with less than virtuous intentions. This group of
individuals come to the table in fear because of their preordained ideas of the
hereafter in which their view of is filled with the black and white of evil and
good. Thus, they automatically draw such influences to them by believing the
evils of the spiritual realm as taught that exist from either their religion or
educational level. Most of the evil that comes through using Ouija boards
or Automatic writing actually appear as the result of what is in ones mind in
the form of ideas and beliefs taught to them since child hood. As a child if
one grows up believing in the bogeyman, as an adult, the fear is still
present in the sub consciousness mind and will appear as a fear of the unknown
due to the distress from it in the first place.
Thus, we create evil through our own fears.
One of the top reasons a person would be involuntarily committed into a mental
institution is because they were fearful of everything around them to the point
of being paranoid.
This is interesting as it pertains to individuals because we as a society exist
with the same paranoia today. We are constantly afraid of just about everything
you can think of from terrorists, wars, street gangs, global warming, to more
personal things such as losing a job, getting into a car accident or worrying
about paying the bills and putting food on the table. Some choose to create
their own fears and carry them around all their lives even though life
otherwise would be great. This welcomed created fear can be seen from staunch
religious followers who believe Armageddon is just around the corner. The only
problem with this belief is it has been present for thousands of years and
regardless of the belief the sun continues to rise every morning.
This however would not be true of a person confident of themselves and sure of
their spirituality inasmuch as they would realize they would
draw from the collective consciousness the desired influences they set forth
for and have no preordained ideas of drawing evil influences to them. Of course,
evil does exist in this collective intelligence of which appears when using the
Ouija board and or Automatic writing as does all things great and good that has
ever existed.
This is because the human mind is in itself a black and white,
good and evil and has not yet realized that we are capable of choosing either
and are not subject to having to accept one with the other.
