Cynic, skeptic, doubting Thomas... that's me!
However, I have reached a point of desperation. Imagine if the sound engineer in Trying2BeHuman's post was self employed and trying to run his own business... That's me. Equipment breakdowns and quirky behaviour abound!
I WANT A WORKAROUND.
As a teenager I experimented and had many psychokinetic and telekinetic adventures, but eventually I got scared at what I couldn't understand and refused to participate or even acknowledge what I had done. During that period and in the interim, one constant is the good old street lights. If I go out, especially driving, at least one street light will turn off and always to the left hand side of the car and always at the same distance from the car. I'm now forty two years old and this has been happening for a l o n g time. Interspersed with this, the recurring dreams of going from room to room trying to find a light switch that works... desperately moving through the gloom, weighed down heavily by the darkness.
I don't want to be dramatic and go into my many breakdown details, but my wife jokes that if a light bulb is to "blow" it will be when I go near it, or give it the kiss of death by having the audacity to switch it on. In our small house we replace 3-4 bulbs a week – all with my helpful "input" and it has been no different in newer/older/bigger/smaller houses. I'M SICK OF IT! It has happened hundreds and hundreds of times but it still scares the hell out of me when the occasional one decided to shatter for good effect.
It has been noticed that if I have a last minute, urgent, rush job then you can guarantee that something will give. Last week it was while I took a coffee break in the early hours of the morning and the machine that I needed in order to finish the job just "blew up"... yes, smoke and everything – ruined the coffee break! The machine wasn't even doing anything at the time – other than thinking about making life difficult for me!
Surrounded by technology and a disproportionate maintenance schedule, I either need to fix the problem or go and work somewhere away from any electrical supply... difficult given my chosen vocation. A more liberal minded friend suggested that my problem resulted from "suppressed psychic energy" which only prompted me suppressing my rampant cynicism!
I don't want to augment my telepathic/kinetic/psychowhatever abilities or to enhance the "gift"... I just want it to go away or at least do something to lessen the occurrences. I also don't want it to become an obsession! Ordinary would be nice!
Any help or references for further research would be hugely appreciated.
