Your Sixth Sense as a Playmate

It's time to develop a stronger relationship with the unknown.

Many of us desire to expand our senses. We either seek a way to develop our intuition or to listen to guidance from a divine source or higher self or talk to people who channel or intuit. Instinct, intuition, guidance, and energy reading are all the providence of our sixth sense. The sixth sense expands us beyond the realm of the known and the real. When we develop a relationship to the sixth sense, we expand our perception and heighten our ability to see the unseen, hear the unheard, and work with the connective force in the universe.

Magical Thinking Versus Sixth Sensing

Unfortunately, many of us also tend more towards magically thinking ourselves into the sixth sense. We use the thoughts that we are capable of having and the reality we are open to understanding to hear guidance and follow intuition. This actually twists our perceptions and makes it more the providence of ego than that of the divine. We say we trust the unknown while pushing ourselves into manifestation without a current of surrender. We manifest as an expression of ego instead of divinity. We function in the normative comfort of our own box and fear pushing ourselves into the truth of the sixth sense.

What is the best way to develop a trust in the sixth sense and not get caught up in magicking ourselves into our reality? Feedback. Yes, feedback. It is an ever important looping system meant to build trust through trial and error, criticism and approval, learning and empowerment to teach. Feedback is the universal method for knowing when we are doing what we set out to do and when we need to fine tune our methods. In the realm of the energetic, the unseen, and the unknown, feedback has to be sought out to actively learn how to work with the expanded world around us.

Utilizing remote viewing as a game is a great way to get yourself our of egoic expansion and into the ordinary humanness of your sixth sense.

Playing the remote viewing game without a need for an outcome is a no risk way of practicing how to relax into the unknown as well as how to allow truthful feedback to be integrated without your own demand for an income. By playing the game of remote viewing, you are allowing yourself to expand without expectation and process feedback without failure. Play provides your own unique sixth sense with an avenue through which it can integrate into you and teach you how you heighten your perception and view the world that is uncomfortably unknown to you.

We all have a sixth sense. Not all of us are very in touch with it. Some of us are a little too comfortable with one version of it. The sixth sense is a sense that has to be used in order to expand. To form a conscious relationship to the sixth sense, not only do we have to use it, but we also have to use it in a way that challenges us to be more open than we naturally are. Everyone’s sixth sense is unique. It is a combination of your gift, your wound, and your ability to trust and open to what is unknown. There is no way of knowing how your sixth sense develops into its full potential except by using it.

The Gift of Play

Life is weird, you know? We go full steam ahead pushing ourselves into what we want to embrace and molding ourselves into who we want to be. The situations that we can take lightly are the ones in which it is easier to consciously grow outside of your own limited ego. Prayer for so many of us looks like us inputting ourself into the divine plan or demanding the divine input itself into our egoic problems. Anything that creates change but requires our own input is seen as work and made into a tiring burden. Waking up to our gifts has to be forced and then somehow that process pretty much takes away the gift itself and puts us back in the familiar drawing board of not being good enough and striving to be different than who we are.

How do we get out of human ordinariness and a compulsion to focus on the negative?

Play.

Sometimes we just need to stop takingo ourselves too seriously. We need to put ourselves in a place where we can remember that there is a vast space of unknown all around us that’s worth connecting into. It is also good to remember that perceiving reality only inside the boundaries of the known is totally limiting. You’ve heard of dogs that can sniff out cancer or sense a seizur right? Miracle healers like well, Jesus, but also miracles as well as modern energy or faith healers (ever heard of Master Zhou?) do exist. If perception can be increased to go from the seen to the unseen, perception can also be learned to move from the known into the unknown.

We have to practice our own ways of perceiving to learn all about how our own sixth sense works.

The process is similar to the way we work with an injury or an out of shape muscle. There’s a process involved to open ourselves up to more spiritual dimensions and to embrace a life where the unknown is a welcome force of divinity in our experience. There is also a place where the most freedom you can have in this process of opening is to be able to let go into play and not take it all so seriously. Playing with expanding our sense of known universe to an attainable sense of the unknown supports us feeling something greater than us without demanding our wants and waiting for a response.

Remote Viewing

Remote viewing, quite simply, is a practice of seeing a place that physically exists outside of the dimension of time and space. You can remote view your own home when you are not in it or different rooms in your home that you are not currently in. All you have to do is picture what you want in your mind’s eye. You see the room in your mindscreen and then can zoom in or zoom out as desired.

Your mind screen is the space in your forehead that shows you an image that is not of what is in front of you. You can access your mindscreen with your eyes closed at first, and later with eyes open after practice. You can also remote view bodies, illnesses, and outer space if that’s where your interest lies (although getting feedback from outer space is going to be difficult)!

Remote viewing for play is very different than remote viewing for, say, helping someone find a missing person or a disease process. You can remote view any place you have been more easily than an unknown place. Places you have not been to take more practice to remote view. Practice and training with tips and feedback is required to go from what I am talking about today as play to a person who can say with complete confidence that they can competently remote view.

I am not going to tell you how to remote view. The end of my complete post has a meditation to guide you through an experiantial meditation. There’s tons of websites that give steps to remote viewing that are all going to take time and cultivation. If you like the process, I suggest you take delve into the process as much as you like.

For the purposes of remote viewing for play, my point is that you don’t have to do any major prep or make yourself different than you are right now. Just breathe and ask to be shown a place you want to see in a specific time frame. Wait for what comes.

If nothing comes, be patient. Try something else. The whole point here is to notice what happens when you try. Any resistance or you shut down to the unknown aspect of remote viewing is a way to understand how you shut down to a divine connection or let your ego get in the way. Both opening and closing of the sixth sense give you feedback.

Remote viewing is a form of play and also a form of feedback that you can tap into right now simply to learn more about who you are and how you open to the unknown.

Benefits of Remote Viewing As Play

• Expand your sixth sense and learn how you integrate what is not concrete in your world.

• Learn how to trust yourself and your instincts.

• Get clarity on how you block your instincts or expansion of senses.

• Form an active working relationship to the unknown.

• Gain an understanding of how you specifically resist the unknown as well as how you resist your gift of innate sensing.

• Create an ability to check in and expand outward into what is not physical which will ultimately expand your window of perception and strengthen your sixth sense.

• Use what you learn about yourself to delve more deeply into egoic attachments and demands.

• Understand how you may be twisting a relationship to the divine into something too real by not trusting the unknown.

My Own Original Playful Forays Into Remote Viewing

I started remote viewing 10 years ago as a game myself. Mind you, I had already been professionally trained to be able to at will heighten my senses of perception, trust my instincts, and see with my mindscreen. Oddly enough, I don’t actually think you need to be very highly tuned in to play with remote viewing.

The reason for my own interest in remote viewing was that I hated traffic and long lines. At the time, I drove 20 minutes for free firewood. A wood working business put their short wood out on the road in dumpsters as a community service. For me and many other people, this meant an opportunity for free heat in the winter. Underline the many other people part. Grabbing the wood was hit or miss and a competition with other people. Plus the wood could be soaking wet. Yet if I could show up when they just put out a fresh dumpster it made all the empty dumpster drive bys worth while. Enter remote viewing games to see when to make the drive out to the free wood.

Similar story for me with spring water. The water at my house at the time was not drinkable. Rather than buy water at a store, I chose to drink my water from a really clean natural spring in the middle of a small city. I drove over an hour to get water once a week. The wait in line could be as long as an hour and a half for my week’s worth of water. Add traffic and weather to the mix and it could also be a really unpleasant experience. Now I know, some of you are reading this and thinking I am crazy. I am. I also have ideals that sometimes make it so that I have to live with inconvenience.

In both these cases, I started to remote view as a game to figure out when to get wood and water and not have have a wasted trip or too long of a wait. Little did I know that I would learn more about my own sense of perception and letting go into the unknown as a result. Never did I think that I would begin to understand my own ego more and cultivate an ability to put it aside and find something by listening to nothing.

Choose Your Own Adventure

So the play starts as just a game. Want to go to the supermarket when it isn’t too full? Want to drive from point A to point B without traffic? Want to see a movie without other people in the theater…or with other people in the theater? It really doesn’t matter what you pick. Just in your daily life start by picking something that you somehow demand an outcome of and wish/hope/want for some aspect of that outcome to be in your control.

Now imagine the experience you want getting clear on what it is you are avoiding or what it is you are hoping for.

Here is where you choose your own adventure. If you are wanting to go somewhere to avoid a crowd and have a 2 hour window that you can go, play with remote viewing by sitting and feeling into the space every 15 minutes. Which time slot has the outcome you want? If you are wanting to drive without traffic and have a few hours of a window or a few different ways you can drive, don’t use an app, try remote viewing. Put yourself in the different ways of driving or the different times and notice which is the best time or way to go.

Then you get to figure out if your remote viewing experiment works by actually experiencing what you viewed as having the best outcome. Here is the ever important feedback. Was your remote viewing correct? Did you get what you want? See if you can notice what went right. The point is to expand your sense of perception and be able to have a greater connection to the unseen that connects us all. Keep trying. Make the game simpler or create scenarios with less demand to be more successful.

Internal Review (Sorry, this is the part where the play goes away)

If the point of all this is to learn how to put more trust into the unknown and learn how to have a less egoic sixth sense, there does unfortunately have to be some awareness building that goes into the game. Ultimately this is your choice. If all you want to do is develop a sixth sense, you can simply choose your own adventure through remote viewing and notice how the process plays out. What you see is what happens or you’re wrong. This gives you a chance to get some feedback and also allows you to learn how your unique sensing system works. For those of you who want more, an internal review can occur about the process of remote viewing.

An internal review is one in which we assess ourselves to figure out what is blocking, getting in the way, unclear, or coming out of unconscious about anything we experience. Any spiritual group that I have trained under has had an internal review at the core of its integrity. The same is true with my work on my own psychological development and for my work with clients. Through internal reviews we learn how to be honest with ourselves and face what we need to meet with less resistance and a greater opening to our own shadow.

The following is a guide of questions to ask yourself in relation to the remote viewing game and is meant as providing a framework for an internal review. Feel free to use my questions or your own to deepen into the ritual of an internal review.
