I also read the book by Niffenegger, The Time Traveler’s Wife. I found it one of the most delightful books I have read in a very long time. I have always liked time-travel stories and have read a good many books of that genre. This is one of the best.
I read some Richard Bach’s works too, but nothing recent, so I don’t recall any visits to his former self. I did spend quite some time with the Silva method, although I don’t want to call myself an expert.
After many years of being a total non-believer in anything remotely smelling of ESP, spiritual or psychic, I started taking up self-hypnosis, and in that quest and while practicing hypnosis, I have stumbled upon clear psychic capabilities that I have.
For instance, I have proven to myself that I can “telegraph” other people using only my mind to contact me, or at least think about me. I have been able to do this repeatedly with different people who would have had no idea that I would be doing that. But I digress, I am simply bringing it up because the Silva methods teach this ability.
So, if you can go back in time with your mind and visit your former self in the past, why would you NOT be able to go into the future and visit your future self? Furthermore, I would not have any qualms about using this ability to travel into the future to look up lottery numbers. Heck, if everyone did it, the lottery would be rendered obsolete. Fortunately, not many people do it, and those that do will not advertise this ability to the lotteries.
In the past year or so, I have been able to obtain lottery numbers with about 10 times the success rate that random drawing would produce. In pick 6 games, I get one or two correct numbers just about every time I try. I have gotten as many as three correct. You might not think this a big feast, but when you look at the odds of most pick 6 games, getting one out of 6 usually happens only every 3 or 4 games randomly.
I must admit that I have done this in spurts, and then I fade, lose interest in the lotteries for a few months, only to come back and pick it up again. It does take some significant time and discipline, so I have a hard time keeping the “schedule.” Here is what I do:
At the evening of every drawing, Wednesday and Saturday night, I review the drawing results, and using a hypnotic Alpha state, as well as auditory and visual mnemonics, I broadcast the correct numbers back to the past. I do this by basically looking at the numbers in hypnosis, and picturing myself visiting myself from the past.
Sometime between Thursday and Sunday (the day after the drawing) and before the drawing time, I go into hypnosis separately, and I travel forward in time to visit myself on Wednesday or Saturday night at broadcast time. I am usually in the same place at the same time, and that helps a great deal. I “see” the numbers my future self is broadcasting to me, but looking through the eyes of my future self. When I see the numbers, I write them down. I only write down one complete set of drawing numbers. Then I play them for the next drawing.
This may sound hokey and strange, and there is a lot more detail to it than I show above, but the principle, I honestly believe, works. I am getting much better than average results. And I am a scientific person, definitely not what you’d call a “spiritual” or “psychic” person at all, and particularly one that has condemned and even ridiculed such practices as late as two or three years ago.
I participated in threads about this activity in this forum over a year ago, mid 2004 or so, but then faded way. I only check back in here occasionally, but I still recognize some names.
