How To Become A Jedi Knight
Ever wonder how it would feel to experience Jedi training? You’ve seen Luke Sky Walker attempt to counter a drone’s painful rays while blinded by his flight helmet’s blast visor. You’ve seen Yoda use his telekinetic powers to lift an X-Wing fighter mired in a swamp. Yoda and Luke can even see a little way into the future when the situation isn’t too murky or unstable. All these guys had to do was tap into the Force and they could perform all sorts of wondrous feats.
Can regular people like you and me ever do the same?
The Institute of Noetic Sciences will give you the opportunity to test your potential to become a Jedi knight and put you through some training. Well, OK they don’t exactly put it those terms, but they’ve got a couple neat little psi games on their Research and Education page that allow you to test, score, and even develop your intuitive abilities.
You can visit the “Halls of Healing” where you can play three games that test the roles of intention, attention and intuition in “distant healing”. If psychic healing is not your forte then go straight to “The Garden of Dreams” which is actually an array of free online psi tests, embedded within an adventure-type game, which enables you to test and explore your psi abilities. The game will track your performance and there’s even a Hall of Fame where you can compare you’re ability against other players.
One game/test has you moving your cursor (magic wand) around the screen and when you feel that it’s near an invisible fairy you’re supposed to click the mouse and you see how close your wand was to the fairy. The closer your wand was to the fairy the higher your score.
I found that if I closed my eyes and led with my feelings I scored higher.
I realize that these games are not the most macho scenarios ever concocted, but hey you’re there to see if you qualify as a Jedi. Go visit the site and surrender to the Force.
