I think it's a fun website, but I'm not too into psychic phenomena unless it relates to personal life. Card games, and telekineses games aren't really my thing. Neither is divination for the most part usually.

The birth chart thing is neat though.

Strange, I've been more and more interested in psionics for the last few days. What a coincidence...

OR IS IT?!!!

Sounds similar to my habit of studying or reading about a topic and then something comes on TV concerning that specific topic a day or so later.

Could this be the true power of the mind once time and space are contained?

I think it's what people refer to as "synchronicity."

So i was trying out the Zenner cards on the ESP test.

It was kind of strange but i wouuld always have two answers in my mind and quite literally always one of the 2 cards i had thought of were correct but i had a bit of a problem that i'm going to try my best to explain. ^^;

I would look at the cards and then something about one of them would stand out - (these are the cards i should pick because they are the ones that end up being right) but instead my mind would be like "Nah it has to be that card" and picked one different from the one that i felt was right (If i am making any sense)

So basically i'm thinking so what? just go with the one you feel is right. So i tried doing this but my mind ended up winning most of the time. So i'm kinda at a loss there..

I've read that in these tests it's always best to go with your first impression because it hasn't been filtered by your analytical mind yet. It takes some time to break that reflex because that's all we do during normal everyday life is analyze things.

Do you have any tips on how to break out of this reflex?

Just practice. When you get an impression or intuition don't question it, just act on it. Applying rational analysis to something that is irrational by nature doesn't work. With enough practice you learn to stop second-guessing yourself.

Doesn't sound safe. Anything where I need to "sync" up with something else, always gives the threat that I might lose myself within it.

I was talking about when events come together to eerie effect. Like if you're reading about a particular topic and then you turn on the television the next day and there's a documentary on about it. What most people call coincidence.
