Some people are more creative than others in different disciplines, but everyone seems to have some creativity in them, provided they find and believe it can be developed and utilized. Developing one's psychic/intuitive abilities is much the same. Some people have a natural aptitude for certain psychic talents that spontaneously manifest, while others need to find which applications of *PSI* they have aptitude for and work on bringing them out. This course will cover the major findings of Parapsychology relating to what makes a person more (or less) intuitive/psychic and will include exercises that will help you both test and develop the abilities you may have aptitude for, including a remote viewing experiment and a "Telepathy" game you can play with your family and friends. In addition, we will discuss the importance of specific characteristics and beliefs, the range of beliefs about ESP around the world, how personal belief -- whether arrived at because of culture, religion, education or family upbringing -- can effectively support or block psychic experiences, and how to assess psychic readings. *Loyd Auerbach, M.S* : Director of The Office of Paranormal Investigations, has been investigating cases of apparitions, hauntings, and poltergeists for over 30 years.

He is a professional mentalist and psychic entertainer, performing as *Professor Paranormal* – which has made him indispensable to numerous researchers over the years, concerned about possible fraud and also about proper controls in the lab and for field investigations.
