Thomas, thats for the link. I've always found Ouji boards intriguing, but have long understood how they work. It is still fascinating that the average person sitting in front of one thinks something magical is happening. An interesting experiment with Ouji boards is to blind fold the users, flip the board 180 degrees, and then watch the spirits somehow not know the board was flipped. The users will move their hands to the same letter places as if the board were in the standard position. The end result is nothing was spelled correctly.

Admission: as I teenager I used to be the Ouija "pusher"  I couldn't help it. The look of horror on my friends faces as I spelled out their fate was too funny....... |

Thomas: "Chris, "spiritual waves" and the earlier "vibrations" are popular terms for unconscious psychological effects:"
Please don't use ideomotor concepts in any way to support spirituality. That's blatantly misleading and false. Every time I hear of spiritual waves, I think of my friend complaining to me while we were playing Guitar Hero. He wanted to be on the side that his musical notes were, because my "eye waves" were interfering with his... LOL!
Just because we can conceive of something doesn't mean a damn thing, even if it is supported by your youthful indoctrinations. |
