THOUGHTS ON RESUMING DATA BASED MEASURABLE EXPERIMENTS

Some thoughts here on the viability or advisability of efforts to predict the future through sortilege techniques.  First, is there an ethical or relational psychology component that would even make this possible?  Does the guidance of the Universe care about anyone getting getting an edge in a sports event or through gambling?  Is there an innate structure to human ability that makes such a connection possible through training or relearning an ancient formula?

Some answers that I propose will challenge accepted norms.  I would maintain that serious personal or social issues are most likely of greater concern to the Universe and our own survival and growth adaptations.    

Thoughts on Parapsychology Methodology :  Research data on my prediction experiments showed there was no success above the 50% expected rate of probability.  The one exception to this is the repeated higher success rate when using runes and my understanding of ancient Germanic Craft in Divination.  More about that later.

One reaction to finding that there are no fateful predetermined results in sports events according to any supernatural foresight.  Such a state of affairs would make the actual events boring and unnecessary.  The free will and gumption of a team or person to take control and wrest victory would be negated.  I believe that the random probability factor in future assessment is actually a compassionate and powerfully wise feature of the Universe.  

Intuition, direct perception, and reasoned calculation have historical precedence when sharing what appears to be supernatural advice.  In the Icelandic  Sagas, there were accounts of men who could give inspired 'rede' or guidance based upon their superior ability to make predictions of cause and effect.  In many of the Sagas this seems to have been done without divinatory tools, but we can't be certain In other sources, like Beowulf, the use of runes is specifically mentioned in the wording.  

Randomness, causal efforts, and probability are all factors that shape events.  We have the ability to predict how events might develop.  We can also contribute as co-creators of a wise and compassionate future.

A last minute decision for this sortelege experiment.  Readings were started about 3:30 pm.  I listed the top ten qualifiers.  I did not have a clear visualization of the car color schemes.  However, I was somewhat familiar with the drivers in a very general sense.  I'm listing the finishing order within the group of ten.

SOME EARLY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT EXPERIMENTS

Success and failure of attempts are evident in measurable data.  This has an objective quality that is the reason for my binary predictions and the more experimental selected comparison efforts.  There were some successful results in prediction accuracy and there is something to learn from them.  There is also much to learn from abject failure. 

The failure of the combined percentage data of my effort is what I'll address here in both personal terms and theoretical terms about the nature of what is accessible in through sortilege as a connection.  Taken in isolation some experiments had a percentage of accuracy on the positive side.  When adding up the results of all experiments so far, the results are dismal.  First the dismal. Then an observation.

The conclusion drawn is that I'm not suited for this aspect of paranormal sortilege.  This does not mean it is not possible for others.  Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.  There are complex factors that could be attributed and graphed as I've posted in some legitimate science protocols like I've posted on this site.  One factor is my state of health at the time.  Another factor would be my actual strength of training for perceptive and resonant response.  This could be improved.

A more theoretical speculation when viewing the high rate of success with the early Teutonic Stave Set results would be an experienced Spiritual resonance with the Mythic Archetype that informs the person.  I also did well with the predictions of the Nascar race in predicting the winner of the flight of ten.  The data for Rune Lots aspect was not as large a sample as other techniques but the success rate is high. My interest in stock car racing has a history.  I know the sport and some of the personal and team stories.  Therefore there might be a stronger resonance than with hockey which doesn't interest me at all.  I thought this disinterest would make me more objective, but objectivity showed itself less reliable than actual interest and focus.  More about that later.  

I have a theory that the Superconscious is more concerned with what should concern us than in odds gambling.  Even in experiments not connected to gambling.  Communication is available if it is important.  Thus I will continue to use Divinatory techniques in that context.  In contrast to that, my efforts to create a career here will need to be abandoned until I get greater skill.  It has been interesting.    

Predictions for Nascar. Auto Club 400. March 26, 2017

This process is more interesting to me because I have an actual interest in racing.  I know some history of the drivers and teams.  I know of their interests and personalities.  I can enjoy watching a race whereas I don't like to watch hockey.  Therefore I thought my hockey predictions would be more objective as long as I could visualize the team logo and location.

I picked a flight of ten drivers with their cars and teams because it takes too long to do a reading for over 40 cars.  These are people I know about or I can clearly visualize the car.  The reading shows how they will finish in the flight of ten rather than for all the race entries.

NHL Preditictions For March 23, 2017

Relevant to the operating state of the practitioner of sortilege from a supposedly perceptive state, are control conditions of state of mind, concentration and general health.   I have a moderately ambitious work ethic that prompted me to to another test of tools and skill.  I was quite ill with bronchitis when I did these sessions.

A modification of method was used with both sets of cards when I arranged the deck order beforehand to a consistent card value sequence.  If , as it is said, the subconscious is the chooser of card layout patterns, then it seemed to me that having an orderly starting point would make a better pattern to choose from.  If the subconscious has a comprehended starting point it could improve function.  After arranging in orderly fashion, I then shuffled and determined selections for teams.  

In the Teutonic Stave Set and Rune Lot readings there was no previous arrangement  because these are contained loosely for selection.

TESTING AS AN ADVENTURE IN SCIENCE

I'm not one to define 'science' or claim that I'm in that field of strict protocols.  I doubt that even scientists are in full agreement about what they do.  I'm posting this excellent study in paranormal science because it describes what I'm doing with my experiments.

              Image from "Paranormal Research & the Scientific Method" by Michael J. Baker. 



I don't claim to absolutely follow this formula.  We do the best we can with where we in our evolution toward remembering something we know.  Here is a link to "Paranormal Research & The Scientific Method" by Michael J. Baker.  

http://paranormalnewengland.com/paranormal-research-scientific-method/

My approach involves something of the adventurous explorer and the gambler.  There is a rush of excitement and a hope and a willingness to see what did or did not work.  Adjustments toward improvement are a challenge.  White lab coats and academic letters are not necessary to the entrepreneur in a scientific field. There will be future experiments that can either verify or challenge toward better methods.  There will also be articles and thought that recall works from the past that has confirmed our interest.  There will also be articles about ongoing philosophical considerations that offer hope in potential direction.     

REFLECTION ON RESULTS

A keen interest, dedication, and ambition toward bettering our lives for those around us is a motivating force that always shows results.  I often look to a fortunate past for evidence of the possible... and to keep myself on track for creating high quality.  My family and extended family were home builders at their peak in the 1950s and early 1960s.  Today these homes are known for their enduring quality and craftsmanship.  From out of the Great Depression, and World War II three brothers and a cousin began taking the risk of acquiring land and constructing houses.  They had a heritage of hard work.

I mention this because holding oneself  to high standards is a road to success.  Improving the odds of success is a manifold purpose of our gifts of perception through our connection to Infinite Mind.     

It is not my destiny to be a home builder at this time.  Yet the qualities of excellence from my personal heritage and the American heritage should still be emulated. So if my results and efforts fall short it is with a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset that I will go forward.  

Somewhere in the links that I've posted previously, there is an excellent example of charts, graphs, and data that describe the exact conditions of experiments.  Date, time, environmental factors and a host of conditions that might be variables are given. This type of precise science is not within my purview at this time.  I'll post that example of data research when I find it.


Results of my experiments are verifiable if we do not preclude the potential for editing a blog site to fit certain factors.  I had the same caution with using emails as 'proof' of results.  A person could send more than one email and cover the odds.  My purpose is not pure science (I find dogmatic science boring and stifling) so I'm going to post the resulting data from my experiments.

A judgement of abject failure is required for an honest appraisal toward continuing in this direction.  There is one area of success that poses interesting potential for how to proceed with Divination in its best form.  There is also an area of promise toward making sortilege more accurate.  First the areas of failure.

Using Ordinary Playing Cards.  Accuracy Percentage
Card Value :  40%     Sequence :  50%  General :  66%  Class A : 100% 

Using the numerical Rook cards.  Accuracy percentage
Card Value :  50%  Sequence :  33%  General 55%  Class A : 25%

Next, the area of success. 

The area of success with sortilege.
Teutonic Stave Set.  Accuracy percentage
Stave Value :  87%  Sequence :  80%  Class A : 85%

This could mean that I need a larger sampling for gathering data.  It could also mean that personal spiritual resonance is a factor in working with the Superconscious.  My personal choice of metaphysical definition is in the Germanic faith and the ancient code known as runes.  The Teutonic Stave set also features aspects of the Germanic understanding of the personal soul complex and the geomythic model of the Multiverse.  I have the data through saved emails that shows previous years also showed a much higher rate of success with the Germanic sortilege method.

Another area of experimentation not recorded here involves arranging the cards in an orderly way before a shuffle and selection so that the subconscious mind has a previous view of how the cards are stacked. This is an adjustment of technique that I will use should I continue with the generic method of sortilege prediction.
