A few days ago, I had a chance to try the board for the first time. My friends and I "summoned" our deceased friend's ghost. He was a chemist and I tried to ask him something only he could know, so I asked which element has the proton number 63. He didn't know the answer, but when we asked again, the board spelled - give or take - "europium", which is the correct answer. I am positive I was the only person at the table who knew the answer, and even though I consciously tried to stop the planchette from showing the correct answer and push my fingers against its movements, it still did. I was confused as hell, but the friend that introduced the board (he's a psychologist) said it was still me who unconsciously moved the planchette.

At least i, when coming back home, entered an almost sleep almost awake state, i was remembering everything of the day, whats wrong about that? Nothing, except i twitched a bit and jumped and moved my arms as if trying to throw the basketball ball to score, how much did i twitch? I didnt jump because i had my legs pointing forwards, and i hit the front seat of the bus so hard my hands ached and it made a lot of noise. Did i learn not to think about playing basketball while half asleep? Yes, at the fourth time it happened, but i did.

Once you do that, she'll want to cling onto new information to reassure herself that she's not ignorant. Then and only then will she be interested in what you have to say. It takes time, and you gotta have a touch of charisma for optimal effect, but trust me it works.

Considering that I have a very external locus of control (having had essentially no control over my life... Ever), I am also an exceedingly skeptical human, but also a deeply spiritual one. My skepticism drives my faith to seek deeper understanding, and my faith drives me to walk further afield when seeking explanations. And I'm disabled. My agency has been all but completely stripped from me. I can't even reliably access medical care at a hospital. And it's a gamble whether I will be considered confrontational or distressed, generally strongly related to the time of day and how cleanly I present. So to bad luck chump if it's a bad day where I haven't changed or taken a shower and my insomnia is hell and it's one in the morning.

If the movement is caused by unconscious movements, could it be moved by subconscious thoughts, and if so, might that be a way to get access to some of those processes?

Hypothetically, I were a ghost and saw some kids messing with a ouija board, I might mess with them out of sheer entertainment. How can you science explain that?

One might think that is ghosts are moving the planchette, they could do so if the board and planchette were in a sealed, clear box.

I've always been skeptical of the YesYes board,but I used to think that my friend was moving it. I'm still not convinced that he wasn't, but having learned of the idiomotor effect I'm about fifty-fifty. I was too young at the time, but looking back I think I should have asked it what I was thinking of. Then I would know if it was my friend who was moving it.

What can be done with the ideomotor effect? What are the possibilities? Does it have applications to martial arts for instance. Could this be what is behind so called “chi “ power?

Yeah, but what causes it to scream and bleed? Huh? HUH? - but seriously, best Ouija board teenage experience was when one of my male friends asked the Ouija to tell him something about himself and it spelled out "its so small".

I'm curious where the "locus of control" falls for someone who believes everything that happens around them is because of God who, conveniently, created the world exactly the way this person feels everything should be.

It would be an external locus of control since God is a force outside of themselves.

@kathryngeeslin9509 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting question as stated. Thoughts/feelings of God activate the same brain area as thoughts/feelings of self, and your subject believes "God" wants what they want, perhaps answers prayer as they want (so they control God?). Though they'd probably say "outside" as that's the advantage of God, "it's not me it's God's doing" or will or fault.

I have never interacted with any Ouija board. Just never appealed to me. Although I would likely be in the group of people who assumes someone else moves the planchette as I don't believe in ghostly forces.
