Psychic Hearing

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Unlike the other psychic senses, Psychic Hearing isn’t as easy as dismiss. Where that feeling you get could just be nervousness, that feeling of knowing could be Deja Vu, and what you see could be dismissed as nothing more than an over active imagination.

Psychic Hearing impressions are usually subtle. This ability is very much like talking to yourself. People who have this ability may not even know they have it. Often times they rationalize their premenotions being nothing more than an over active imagination. These people tend to ask:

  • Does psychic perception really exist?
  • Why haven’t I had the same kind and number of ESP experiences as other people?
  • Others have strong feelings, experience intuitive premonitions, and see visions. Why doesn’t that happen to me?

The receptive area for psychic hearing is located above the ears. Using this ability is like using your physical ears, but you are not focusing on your ears but the area above them.

  1. Sit comfortably; relax.
  2. Take a deep breath and exhale gently.
  3. Practice sensing the different parts of your head area.
  4. Shift your focus upward and sense the area above the ears. This area is about 1 - 2 inches above the ear.
  5. gnote how this area has a hieghtened sensitivity, like a microphone ready to amplify any sound or signal.
  6. Alternate the levels of focus several times, first aiming your awareness at ear level, then letting it slide up to the temporal-lobe area above the ears.

Practice by noticing the difference between outer and inner listening. Move to a location where you can hear people talking around you; sit down and relax:

  • Listen to some background converstation and notice how your attentino is not only at ear level, but how your sense of the sound is outside of you.
  • Shift focus now to the temporal-lobe area and talk to yourself, think to yourself. Notices how your attention is not only above the ear level, but above how your focus is inward.

Something that you can do is ask youself questions while you are doing the above exercise. When you ask yourself a question, don’t analyze it right away, just record it and come back to it later.

While working with psychic hearing you may recieve nothing more than a few words or sounds. These are called keywords. from there you have the skeleton for what you seek. You may also use psychic hearing to obtain your own mantra:

  1. sit quietly and relax.
  2. As you breathe omfortably and easily, turn your thoguhts inward and focus on yourself and your day.
  3. Project the mental question and at the same time let it echo in your mind.
  4. Grasp and note the word, phrase, or understanding that comes to your mind.
  5. Continue the process by reviewing the people and events of you upcoming day and getting psychic guidewords for dealing with them.

PHP, Zend Debugger, Eclipse

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

A while ago I wrote how you can configure Eclipse, PHP on a Linux machine to debug PHP pages using phpdbg. At first this worked very well but after a while break point wouldn’t work and I would have to restart the session. Another problem that I was having was that the session information was saved. I got around this by clearing out the session information in Firefox. This continued until one day when I tried to start a new debug session and all I got was this:

At that point I decided to dump phpdbg and start using the Zend Debugger. Getting the extension to work properly took some time. After many hours of searching the Internet I managed to find a decent site to work off of. Unfortunately, it was aimed at the Windows platform. Getting PHP and eclipse configured was half the battle that I faced.

Software RAID, Hardware RAID, and Woes Oh My!

I woke up on Halloween to the sound of my music playing. Then all of a sudden it stopped. I got up not thinking much of it. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is check my email. When Thunderbird didn’t open and programs stopped responding I got suspicious. I dropped in to VT12 to see what was going on. What was being reported was: (more…)
