Automatic writing?

Question

what is suppose to happen and how do you perform it right.

Answer 1

Hello

Automatic writing is via the subconscious mind, so like a meditation - routine & relaxation are required.

Channelled text is working via spirit & that requires psychic development.

Answer 3

"Automatic writing is the process, or product, of writing material that does not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer. The writer's hand forms the message, and the person is unaware of what will be written. It is sometimes done in a trance state. Other times the writer is aware (not in a trance) of their surroundings, but the actions of their writing hand.

Therapy - Automatic writing is used as a tool in Freudian psychology and in related "self knowledge" studies, where it is seen as a means of gaining insight into the mind of the automatic writer through their subconscious word choices.It was primarily used by Pierre Janet in France, and later by Morton Prince and by Anita Muhl in the United States.

Religion - Automatic writing is used in Spiritualism and the New Age movement as a form of channeling. One of the best-known automatic writers was Helene Smith, an early 20th century psychic who felt that her automatic writing was the attempt of Martians to communicate with Earth. She claimed she could translate their Martian language into French.

The ideas of Helene Smith influenced the Surrealist movement. Andre Breton, leader of the Surrealist movement, pioneered its use within the movement and produced several important pieces of automatic writing, most famously, Soluble Fish. The Surrealists dubbed her "The Muse of Automatic Writing"; in the Surrealist deck of cards, Smith is the "Genius of Knowledge." Automatic writing became a part of the Surrealist's repertoire of games, and it soon developed into a number of other Surrealist games and tools that greatly influenced the movement, such as automatic drawing, automatic palimpsest, and a variety of marker-word games. Free writing later gained popularity with writers and poets, both as a means of stimulating creative thought and as a technique for overcoming writer's block."

Answer 4

Check out some Austin Osman Spare.  

There are many ways to perform an automatic writing.  

I prefer exhaustion.     I enter into a waking meditation and allow my self to just write.

I believe automatic writing is merely the writings of your sub and unconscious, not a channeling of spirits, or outside energy.  Though it may be experienced as such.

Answer 5

DONT DO THAT....

you can put a curse over your family. and yourself. dont try and do anything with that or whatever. just dont.

Answer 6

Automatic writing is nothing but your subconscious, that is 'you' writing and not being aware that your doing it(inner thoughts). No, no curses nothing like that or spirits communicating this is wrong, its really not that paranormal at all.

Try this, as soon as I tell you about it your going to start to control it.

..........."Your breathing". Now you're aware that you are breathing so you control it, but normally we breath without awareness uncontrollable even when we sleep and the same goes with blinking awareness, we blink all day not being aware(Thinking about it) of it.

Answer 7

The idea is that by giving over control of your hand a spirit will hijack it for communication purposes.  There are many problems with this.

First, when conscious you are not able to involuntarily move your hand.  You can try to convince yourself you aren't in control, but in order for a voluntary muscle to move it must be instructed to do so by the brain.  This is especially the case when it comes to controlled movement involving whole muscle groups.

I suppose it could be possible for someone to distract themselves when scribbling, but I would bet that no actual "writing" comes about when they are truly distracted.  Perhaps you'll get a word or two when looking off into the distance, but not when you're reciting the alphabet backwards.

Also, if a spirit can indeed communicate in such a way, then why with just a word or two?  Why not with whole sentences and narratives?

Answer 8

If it's your subconscious ... how come it told me a joke and surprised me and made me laugh? Still..I say not to do it.  It's not  healthy to get possessed.
