A Psychic Nibble

Sunday May 9th, 2010 - Battle Creek, MI

Supposedly everyone has psychic ability of some sort. The only one I’ll lay claim to is a tiny inner voice that speaks to me once in a while. It’s not audible, but I do feel it inside at various times. I don’t claim it to be anything other than an inner urge, but I really feel it.

Many times it’s come to me when I’m watching sports, which I’ve been known to do on a regular basis my whole life. I’ll be watching a game or match, and feel when a big event is about to occur, then blurt it out. I’ve called knockouts in fights two seconds before they happen, to the surprise of everyone - including myself. I have no clue why this happens.

I’ve called home runs in baseball and touchdowns or interceptions in football, and I just get this feeling inside. I know when it’s there, and I immediately say it out loud. I’ve been able to nail it on several occasions, and it’s stunned a room more than once. It stuns me as well, as I have no idea where this comes from or how I can control it. It’s all very random.

I had another example of it today. Last night I had a gig in Coldwater, MI. It was farther than I thought or I probably would’ve driven back, so I stayed the night. On the way home I passed a new casino in Battle Creek that was built just recently, and the voice told me to stop and win some money. I’m not a big gambler at all, but I’ve never had the voice fail.

The place was jammed to the rafters, and I had a hard time even finding a parking space in the lot. I did get one, then I went inside and had a hard time finding a machine. I like to play slots, even though there’s no real skill involved. I found ONE machine open, so I sat down and pulled out a $20 bill. At first the machine wouldn’t take it. Eventually it did.

I played the $20 down to zero, and was going to leave. I saw an ATM and withdrew $40 and went back to my machine, which was now being played by someone else. I saw a new one open up, so I sat down and started playing that one. My $40 was just about gone but I still had the feeling I was going to win something. I wish I knew how I could sense this.

Two or three pulls later, I won a small jackpot to give me a few more pulls. That started it, and I just kept hitting. I again made the dumb mistake of playing less than full capacity of coins and that cost me about three times. Still, I ended up walking out with a nice little jackpot total of $170 for my troubles. I couldn’t believe I’d gotten such a strong message.

That’s not a million dollars and I’m not going to retire on it, but for a non gambler it’s a pleasant surprise gift from the cosmos. I’m not taking any special meaning into it but I am grateful for it. It helped make the trip worthwhile, and at this point I’ll take what I can get.

I have to believe all of us has a version of that little inner voice inside, but how or what can we do to get control of it? I can’t control mine at all, but when it’s there I know it and this was an example of it. I didn’t know the universe dealt in increments of $170, but I’m not complaining. I’m hoping to find the way to lure the big catch. I got the appetizer, now it’s time for the main course. Are you listening, inner voice? Keep these vibes coming.
