differently. Generally, when I clairvoyantly perceive something, whether it be a spirit, deity, aura, or totem, I will see it just as I see things in the physical realm; I would articulate this as “apparent” Sight. The vision/being appears quite vividly for me. However, often I will also perceive with what many call the mind’s eye. I see and know that what I am sensing is definitely there; however, I can only give it form or sensation within my mind. There are many degrees of differing versions of clairvoyance between and beyond these two ways; however, in essence, all sight is Sight. Remember that physical sight is merely the outcome of the reflection of light. The mind tends to rule perception.
To flex this particular psychic muscle (the third eye), you will need to centre and expand your consciousness in whichever way you prefer. As your awareness grows to encompass the beyond, and your inner tides surrender to the being of cosmos, embrace the current of life as a concentrated beam of light that flows directly through and into your third eye (the area on your forehead between and just above your eyebrows). You will feel a slight pressure, tingle, or buzz on the physical area. Concentrate on amplifying this sensation, and place the focus of your awareness in this area. Acknowledge and affirm that you are ready and prepared to receive fate/Wyrd/information in the form of a “knowing” (vision, scent, words, cognizance, etc.), and surrender to the flow. Allow whatever you perceive to simply be—and do not judge, evaluate, or analyse what it is you are receiving. Let it unravel in its own way before you impose any personalisation upon it. Of course, after the experience, the discernment tools of judgment, evaluation, and analysis will prove very useful; however, make sure you regard the experience with intuition first.
To See in Apparence [2]
When people think of “having the Sight” or “possessing the Gift,” it is generally surmised that the seer will perceive the Other in apparence—in a vivid, raw, “right in front of the face” way. Upon closer inspection, clairvoyance does not always necessarily work like this. In fact, many clairvoyants/seers/psychics will perceive with the mind’s eye, as mentioned above. In truth, there is no difference in validity between seeing in “apparence” and seeing in the mind.
There are a variety of metaphysical and occult explanations regarding how one technically perceives with the Sight. As has been made obvious throughout this book, I am not one to dabble in or be devoted to what the Pagan author John J. Coughlin terms “pseudo-metaphysics,” which he defines as “the assumption of truth based on what sounds as if it could be true.” [3] In saying this, however, vibrational frequency has been touted as a way to explain the contrast between apparence and mind sight within the realms of clairvoyance. This theory tends to hold some sway in magickal circles, as the concept of energy vibration is quite a well-articulated and accepted one. In fact, the concept has even been measured and recorded scientifically (as in the works of Richard Gerber), and vibrational frequencies have been proven to underlie our conscious and subconscious perceptions of things.
Discarnate, discrete entities and beings have no physical bodies and therefore are composed of pure, unhindered, concentrated energy, flowing without stricture or strain. Therefore, most human beings are not able to physically perceive these entities, as our vibration is grounded in the physical and we have been indoctrinated to wholly believe that the physical is the only realm of existence. Only through concentrated and continued work can we alter our consciousness to allow for the reception of higher vibrational frequencies (faeries, devas, angels, deities, etc.). Of course, in magickal work it is necessary to raise power, and this is synonymous with increasing vibrational frequency. This is why, when we are
