Your Telepathic Ability Will Increase With Use

I can verify this as I used to use an E-Meter to sense the presence of spirits and now I can perceive spirits and their intentions over extended distances. When I was a Scientology counselor, I was trained to use an E-Meter to monitor the spiritual reactions of the person I was counseling. It worked but was a clumsy way to monitor spiritual activity as it depended on measuring the change in resistance of a body in reaction to emotional changes caused by probing questions. It worked like a lie detector and was almost as unreliable because there were so many factors that could generate false reads.

Once I started delivering counseling sessions over the internet, I began to realize that I was picking up responses from the person I was counseling before the meter would react. A video presentation by Dexter Gelfand on auditing without a meter got me to investigate how well I could detect emotional charge on a question and I realized that I could detect lies and other emotions without a meter and I never used an E-meter again.

When I stopped using an E-meter, I realized that I could put my entire attention on the person I was counseling and many different phenomena came into view. My attention would move into the person’s space and I could detect their intentions as well as their emotions. If I approached them in a caring way, I could duplicate their thoughts and would get flashes of their history, and could even see incidents that their attention was still stuck on after many years.

I found that I could communicate telepathically with disembodied spirits more easily than I could communicate telepathically with most of my clients. When I looked into this I began to realize that people in bodies are continually barraged with random thoughts and impulses from the spirits who surround them and this distraction makes it difficult to receive thoughts and telepathic communication except in unusual situations. Many people just block out all spiritual communication in order to stay sane and get their work done.

To overcome this self-installed barrier to telepathic communication, I developed a counseling technique where I would address the spirits I could perceive and ask them questions in a caring way and have the client see what they could perceive from the spirit in response to my question. To my delight, it turned out that most of my clients could pick up emotions and some thoughts from the very first session! Since I could perceive what the spirit was saying and doing, I was able to see that telepathic communication was different than I expected.

The beings were not communicating in English so names and places were only impressions or images. In some cases, the impression was like a silent video that transferred an entire story in seconds. I began to sense a back story when I communicated with some spirits. Without actually describing what they had experienced, I would get an impression of an entire civilization with attitudes and social agreements. I began to see the records of their life experiences at times and realized that the Akashic Records I had heard about were real.

As I spent more time talking to spirits during counseling sessions and in daily life, I began to appreciate the group of spirits who are helping me with my counseling and my writing. These spirits are so coordinated with my intentions that they can present me with ideas that match my desires exactly. If you have ever experienced inspiration coming to you when you need it, you know what I am experiencing daily

I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible with telepathic communication, but I now see what spirits can do to affect our thinking and our actions. I have also gained an appreciation of what spiritual healing can do and it is all based on effective communication with spirits who are affecting our bodies.

I have tried to explain what can be done in my latest book, Talking To Spirits, but daily solo sessions using my Solo Session Handbook will give you the tools to develop your abilities to communicate with spirits and take advantage of the enormous amount of data they can share with you. There are trillions of spirits whose memories have been destroyed and altered by their past experiences, but I feel there are billions of spirits who are aware enough to help you if you reach out to them in a friendly way. You were telepathic in the past. Why not work on recovering that ability now? It will make your life more interesting than you can believe.

AI Customer Service Comes In Several Flavors

Depending on the skill and experience of the programmers and system designers, you may get serviced by a soulless robot with an algorithm designed to see if you are committing fraud, a robot customer service AI which will ask you endless questions to see if you meet their byzantine requirements for a low risk customer, or possibly a well-designed robot system that provides immediate access to a human being in case of trouble.

Which of these three AI systems would you prefer to deal with in your business transactions?

If you choose AI system number 3, you can summon live help when a problem occurs. If you have the misfortune to deal with either of the other two choices, you are dealing with machine logic designed by an inexperienced programmer and when things go wrong you will put your business at risk because the company has decided to save money on salaries and you will not get human help without threats of litigation or public exposure via the internet.

There is a growing awareness of the need for human intervention in AI systems, but you may still encounter a system powered by AIs in the first two categories. If that happens, you should add your voice to the growing number of people writing about customer support problems with AI.

This is what the best AI designers are working toward:


Provide paths forward from failure. The trick isn’t to avoid failure, but to find it and make it just as user-centered as the rest of your product. No matter how hard you work to ensure a well-functioning system, AI is probabilistic by nature, and like all systems, will fail at some point. When this happens, the product needs to provide ways for the user to continue their task and to help the AI improve.

With AI Designs, We Can Create Modern Day Golems

golem: [noun] an artificial human being in Hebrew folklore endowed with life. – Merriam-Webster

According to legend, a golem was animated by instructions applied to its forehead and could be deactivated when those instructions were removed. The golem had no ability to think or decide. It could only carry out orders. This creature is usually brought to life through magical rituals or procedures and is limited to obeying any order of its creator in a literal way.

Like a well-designed chatbot, this modern golem simulates life until you present it with information it cannot handle, and then you encounter the implacable unreasonableness of a system that only mimics life but does not demonstrate it.

When an AI system is presented with data it is programmed to expect, it gives the impression it is capable of making intelligent decisions. When the data you are presenting to the system falls outside the limits of what it is programmed for, the results cannot be predicted and the system response fails its purpose.

Putting such a golem in charge of your life, as in an automobile or financial transactions, is extreme folly, which is why all AI systems interfacing with human beings should provide an override to access human support.

The trap we can fall into is that these AI designs are incredibly efficient when presented with inputs limited to what they are designed for. This lulls the inexperienced designer to assume they have covered all possible cases and not provide a means to override the design in case of failure.

This means that a poorly designed AI system handling human problems acts like a wood chipper which does not distinguish between human hands and the wood it is designed to chip. Fortunately, woodchippers have a manual override. Some AI systems do not.

Nobody Likes A Complainer

Whining about mistreatment by a corporation is annoying news, even when it is the honest truth. If you want to get your message out, it needs to be interesting, even shocking, and if possible, amusing!

I am sure that many of you are familiar with the tale of the emperor’s new clothes which was written in 1837. Some con men sold the emperor on the idea of a beautiful new suit and the emperor and his court went along with the fiction because no one wanted to be the person who would admit that there was no suit. Even the emperor went along with the fiction, perhaps because he was a trusting sort of person.
No one else wanted to admit they could not see the emperor’s new suit because no one wanted to be thought of as a simpleton or unfit for their job.

In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) is the beautiful new suit for corporations seeking to save money by replacing human employees with robots. AI is powering phone systems, chatbots, assembly lines, translation systems, driving automobiles, and performing customer service duties. AI does a remarkable job on routine tasks and saves thousands of hours of valuable human resources when it is applied to those tasks.

When AI replaces human beings in driving vehicles, there are many roads that this system cannot handle and a human driver has to take over.

When AI is used for customer service duties, it can be a catastrophe waiting to occur. Why? Because AI does not handle random inputs well. Customer data entry will always contain some errors whether voice-based or keyboard entries. If the AI-driven system does not provide the user access to a human supervisor, as is the case at Square, the system can make judgments that are costly to customers and ruinous to small businesses. If you are using Square to process funds, this could be you.

If you search the internet for “Problems with AI customer support”, you will find many examples of scenarios where AI is ineffective. In financial transactions, when there is a problem customers want interaction with a real human being. A system that denies you interaction with human beings, as is the case at Square, generates more ill will than you can imagine. I am sure that this is not because the people at Square are evil, it is more a case that they have all bought the story that AI will allow them to replace human customer support with robots.

A robot cannot care for a customer and if it is set to detect errors in data input and freeze funds for 90 days, that is what it will do without fail. At Square, they have attempted to handle data entry errors by using another AI system to interview the business owner, instead of using a customer service person who could clear the matter up in one call. The robot interview contains some serious programming errors and as a result, it attempts to solve them by repeating the interview until you figure out the answer the system is looking for. The thousands of online complaints about this robot interview show that no human being is looking at the results. As a result, Square is building a reputation for freezing customer funds for no good reason and this will eventually result in many people realizing that the emperor has no clothes when it comes to customer support.

If your company is considering using AI for customer support, look at the suggestions given by companies who are successfully using AI in the customer interface. Use this search to help you with your system design: Pros and cons with AI customer support

Example of a Square customer support questionnaire

This is what you get when you make a data entry error or the AI system thinks you are a high risk customer because you have a transaction larger than what the system considers normal. They put you through a robot interrogation to determine if you are a high risk customer.

A high risk transfer according to Square, is an international purchase or a card not present transaction. If you are an online business with overseas customers, you should avoid Square. If you have a transaction larger than usual, you should use another service to handle it as Square will freeze your money based on their models. The risk evaluation is based on Square’s machine learning models which seem to be flawed if the customer complaints are to be believed.
