Playing with fire!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The practice of "Table Up" is like playing with fire. Although I don't condone the use of Ouija Boards, this practice is similar in nature. But is just to interesting to not investigate. If it is as some believe; a Subconscious Energy coming from us. Wouldn't it be neat if we could channel that energy and use it to better our lives. If for nothing else to do magic tricks for your friends/family.
To begin, we start by setting up an antique card table ( antique in that it has wooden legs, as opposed to modern card tables made with metal legs ). Choose a flat/level nonslick surface, carpet seems to be best it allows the legs to grip the floor and keep from sliding around on the floor. This can also be done outside on the grass or gravel.
3 people sit on the same side of the Table, with their hands laying lightly on the Table ( spread your fingers outward, making sure your thumbs are touching. The person in the middle of the 3 people should then make sure their "Pinkies" are touching the closest pinky of the person to the right and left of them ).
Now in unison all 3 people begin to chant "Table Up" in a clear and convincing voice. You must believe that the opposite side of the Table will begin to rise. When it does, it should rise approx. 6 inches off the floor. You do not manipulate the Table by forcing the other side to rise. It should do this all by it's self, while you chant over and over "Table Up! Table Up!..."
Make sure before you begin that there is ample leg room for you, once the Table begins to tip back towards your laps.
When the opposite side of the Table is at least 6 inches off the floor, you say: "Stop Table, Stop" it should stop and freeze at that height.
Then you proceed to ask the Table ( Yes & No questions that only you know the answers to ). After asking a "Yes or No" question you say: "Tap once for "Yes" and twice for "No", Tap Table Tap!"
Then the Table should Tap out the answer. After tapping out the answer the Table should rise back up on it's own, in the tipped position where it started from. If it doesn't the conncetion has been lost and you must begin again.
Granted the Table does get answers wrong, so maybe it's only a 50%-50% chance that the answers are legit.
Some people believe that the answers are coming subconsciously through the user. I believe it's more likely spirit based in response. After all what you are basically doing is performing a Sceance. But I guess that is open to discussion/opinions of the people using the Table.
As you progress through this practice, you will learn that through a process of elimination in your answers, you can find out the supposed identity of the Spirit you are communicating with through this practice. The table can spell out words by tapping once for each letter until it stops on a specific letter, and so on.
If you seek reliable life fullfilling answers to serious problems in your life, this is not the avenue to go. ( This should be done for entertainment purposes only. )
If anyone can figure out how to measure the energy that causes the Table to rise, I'd like to know how to do that. My EMF Detectors don't register any readings when we have tried to measure the energy.
The Old People who I have talked to, who have done this when they we children ( back in the Spiritualism Movement era ) said they were able to get the Table to actually float/levitate completely off the floor. They said the key is to have everyone at the Table to believe that the Table can actually levitate.
We have only accomplished getting our Tables to rise up on 3 legs. But they have responded to verbal commands, and while resting on only one leg the Table will swing the Table left or right pivoting on the one leg. This takes practice.
However if it is a Spirit Based energy, and not a subconscious thought from us, as some believe. Then you must understand that Spirits aren't always cooperative in this practice. The tables will give false answers, they will refuse to respond to voice commands at times.
The location, and people at the Table can determine how well the Table works. If the Table doesn't work, move it to a different location, or turn the Table 90 degrees and see if that works. If not change the positions of who is seated at the Table. Or change the people who are at the Table. Sometimes the Tables work better for some individuals, and not at all for others.
