Paranormal Studies: Psychic Abilities: Automatic Writing

Automatic Writing is a term given to an action whereby a person is able to use their sub-conscious mind to write down words and sentences that do not come from the person’s conscious mind. For some automatic writers they show signs of a trance like state and when awakened have no conscious memory of what they have written or what has taken place while they were in this trance. For other writers they have some awareness that they are writing something down but feel they are merely a passenger in their own bodies.

Some Automatic Writers believe that their messages come from a higher conscious and that they are merely been used as tools to relay important messages. While others believe simply that it is another type of paranormal ability or skill to contact those from the Spirit Plane.

People all over the world have been aware of Automatic Writing since as early as 1850, and no this awareness has not just been for those with abilities or for those throughout the centuries who have been referred to as the freaks, weirdo’s or any person who has been categorized in the eccentric groups of societyJ . On the contrary many of those involved throughout the years have been prominent and societies deemed normal individuals such as judges, novelists, housewives, philosophers etc… Some of the Spirits who were said to have used Automatic Writers to write beyond the veil were composers such as Brahms, Mozart and Chopin but to name a few.

There are writers who have claimed to have been used by actors and actresses who once where stars through the old classic American movie studio’s to write messages thoughts and feelings back to the physical world. Are these claims true or are they just stunts for 5 minutes of fame?

The problem with Automatic Writing is there is little proof when dealing with long dead stars or composers, there is no one to tell how accurate or true the messages are. This is something that we all need to decide for ourselves in what we believe is possible or not? Food For Thought Though: From the mediumship end, proof could and can be found when there is more than one living person involved in the relaying of the messages. For example; a lady contacts an automatic writer and asks her to come to her home as there have been some paranormal experiences happening.

The woman knows that the family home as been in the family for several generations but tells the writer little. The writer takes a walk around and then sits and goes into his/her trance like state, if the writings are about the families or the people that have lived there within the time frame that the woman’s generations have lived there, then it is possible that the woman herself can tell the automatic writer how accurate or not she has been and in that scenario that would be proof that Automatic Writing works.
