The Elektra Experiment - What I learned

The show was really fun Friday night, doing the Elektra Experiment. After my initial contact with Elektra, I wrote a couple of blog entries (see below) about her. My continued contact with her helps to focus my mind.

When the Baron asked two Fridays ago how to "know a charlatan" when seeking psychic or alternative healing, it caused me to conceive the idea of The Elektra Experiment. Since my connection with Elektra helps me so much to clarify my own issues, I decided to bring her on board, so to speak, for the MindCast to see if she could/would enhance my psychic abilities to answer questions for people.

I don't claim to be "a" psychic. I have had psychic experiences, perhaps with more frequency than the average person. I've done Rune readings and Tarot readings for people, but it's quite different to have a symbol set from which to glean information than to just peer into the "collective unconscious" to glean information. But I was just absolutely curious to see what would come of it since I experience so much clarity when tapping into Elektra's energies.

I had Kelly from The Blue-Eyed Witch, where Elektra resides, choose a tiny crystal skull for me. Elektra herself has spent time with an ancient Brazilian Citrine Skull from which she gleaned its energies. Then Kelly took the tiny crystal skull (which I named Elektrisa) which had already been exposed to Elektra's energies, and put them together for around 24 hours, in the healing atmosphere of the store, and then she took them home and exposed them to the light of the full moon over night. I then picked up Elektrisa and brought her with me to the studio. I found her a little amber glass heart to sit on. I wanted something either neutral or conductive, and the glass heart would be neutral.

I centered myself and connected with her and Elektra's energies. Then I invited call ins from the audience. Bunny called first asking, "Am I on the right path?"

Truth be told, I have been critical of psychics whom I have listened to or observed, who I felt were giving very vague or generic answers. But I learned that that is absolutely not for me to judge (which should have been self-evident, but...). I have had experiences where I gave specific information and knew that I was right on when I said it. I have had experiences where I gave specific information and had no gut feeling one way or the other whether what I was saying was correct, but had it confirmed after the fact that I was, indeed, correct. But when I answered Bunny's question, the answer just flowed out, but it seemed very generic to me, and I had no sense whatsoever of whether what I was saying was helpful or not. However, I had contact with Bunny after the show and she told me that the response was spot on and just what she needed to hear to give her the confidence to proceed.

Then there was Thelma who called to ask the whereabouts of the four-carat white diamond she had lost. Now, I will tell you that I was hesitant to attempt to answer this question, but since I hadn't really ruled out that type of question beforehand, I felt obliged to try. I had limited it to questions that would "clarify" a specific situation going on in one's life at the moment, and technically, Thelma's question did not fall outside those parameters. So, I connected and asked, and just got one specific picture in my mind of a room with a bronze carpet and two silvery recliners in front of some light, similar-colored drapes. At first I thought the item was underneath the drapes, but then I got a more specific picture of an air vent beneath the drapes and thought it was either around that or inside it. Thelma said there was nothing like that in her house, but I remembered afterwards that she had asked either where it was in her house or was it there at all. Since the place I described was not in her house, the Baron suggested that it was perhaps lost elsewhere, which might have also been a possibility in Thelma's mind. The Baron suggested that what she was seeking was actually a "remote viewing" in which I could "see" where the diamond was. I guess that's what I attempted to do. Now, it would be easy to say that that's not the kind of wisdom that Elektra dispenses, but since I had never had occasion to try that out on my own with Elektra before, I could not really say one way or the other. For me, I connect with her energies to clarify a situation so that I can make a decision on it. But I cannot say whether or not she does the other, nor will I know (unless Thelma tells me) whether or not I was correct in what I saw. So that was still an interesting part of the experiment.

Would I do it again? Absolutely! Would I do anything different? Probably. I might isolate myself from outside distractions better by using a different studio where I was not in direct contact with another person and the energies less encumbered by so many electronic devices. I might limit the questions better. As I gain more experience and have more success, as my confidence builds, it might be worthwhile.

Should I? Will I? Well I'm an information gatherer. I will seek the opinions of those who heard the MindCast, of others who use crystal skulls, of Kelly, who is Elektra's keeper. Feel free to weigh in with your own observations or thoughts.
