What is Ouija? Ouija board is a game where a small group of people summons a spirit and communicate with it. A board that has alphabets and numbers is used and the group of people would place a finger on a small pointer and the so called spirit would spell out what it has to say. Is it?? There has been countless movies from all over the world that dramatize what people think of it including this year's horror movie Ouija.
In this country, we are more familiar with another version of the game which we call the Spirit of the Coin. It is practically cheaper and easier to come up with. All you need is a piece of paper, a pen and a coin. When coming up with this subject, people would imagine spirits, paranormal activities, the devil and so on; but does it necessarily be it? What I mean is what is it that makes the pointer or the coin move?
I don't even know if there are any people who has the same perception that I have, but I personally think that it has nothing to do with spirits, the devil or anything. I believe it is all in our minds..our subconscious mind. How did I come to think that?
As I mentioned earlier, here we are more familiar with using coins, and my experience of playing this 'game' goes back when I was about 10 years old. Back then, I as other people do, thought of it to be linked with spirits etc; but over time I became too familiar with the game that I could play alone by myself. That is the point when I started doubting it to be supernatural. When playing alone, I found that what comes out of the board actually rooted from my mind, and when my mind is empty the coin would go crazy and go all over the place! Of course over time I've been called satanic..morbid or whatsoever. Even though I tried to explain and prove it, they are always skeptical. Yet, I am confident with my theory and give no s**t about it.But then another question arose. How does it work? Of course I have no way of proving this scientifically, but I do have a theory and reference, even though not a strong one. Our fingertips is a special part of our body. It has the most efficient sense of touch. It is fascinating how blind people can read braille so efficiently. Check out this website I found Energy Between Your Hands. It's a way of channeling energy through your palms. I skeptically tried it and surprisingly it does work.
It has also been linked with intuition where there is a German term Fingerspitzengef that translates as 'fingertips feeling' which means intuitive flair or instinct. Instincts are like the ROM chips of motherboards. The data is there but it runs in the background. When the PC is shut down, it keeps running, keeping date, time and other settings.
There are a lot of things we don't understand, but with reason, research and cutting back watching spooky movies, we can understand what is going on around us. If my opinion proves true, I think that Ouija can even be sold as a board game along with Monopoly, Scrabbles and others. It has got to be fun!!
