Stop to think about it.  What telepath in his right mind would admit his
ability.  Or give any details of the parameters of the talent and the
conditions under which it could be employed.  Why would he tell you that
it is a skill for vast open spaces; that he muffles his teles in an urban
or highly crowded environment; that the most important aspect of the trait
is the ineffable empathy of a beloved fellow creature.  He wouldn't.

Hi Amy,
Not overly uncommon. Most people however aren't aware that they are
being tricked.
Being aware of spirits doesn't mean you are insane. It simply means
you are psychic. Too "psychically open" perhaps but non the less
simply psychic.
Committing suicide wouldn't do you any good. You would simply then be
in the same dimension as the person/s bothering you. A more
constructive approach would be to learn about, and then apply,
"psychic protection".
You can find out about this topic by reading some books on it and/or
visiting my web site. Questions can be asked here if you have any.
Regards, John.

Thought I'd reply to your post with my dime's worth. That period of
"near sleep" is very good for receiving. A method I use is to ask my
guides to help me remain connected, even if I get startled or a little
scared. Sometimes, to put it simply, I ask them to help me be brave. I
think fear is what shuts the door. Also, once you receive that initial
message or words, lie still and use relaxation techniques to settle
yourself. A simple one is to just focus on breathing slowly. Once your
emotions are quieted down you can ask a tentative question. Something
like, "what do you want to say?". Then be a sport and just take what you
get. You may get a body sensation, a feeling or perhaps a picture. With
practice you will be able to allow more in and more of the communication
will make sense. There are other important aspects to this. One is in
being grounded. When a person starts opening up to channel, there seems
to be a lot of playful spirits that find it entertaining to pop in.
Before going to bed you can focus your thoughts on what ever it is that
you hold to be dear. Edgar Cayce suggested using your "higher self". But
prayer or meditation on a supreme power or deity works too. A simple
invocation is "only those spirits that are of the light and that have my
best interest at heart".  The idea is to center yourself in a place of
good intention. Start a diary of these communications. They will start
to make sense in fun and wonderful ways. Also, the same "window of
opportunity" seems to take place as one comes out of sleep. I call those
communications "captions". Very good stuff.
Cheers,
Brenda

 <deleted all answers>
I beleive that it would be posible to give several lectures.  What I did
was present an OVERVIEW of the subject--along with BASIC instructions and
principles.  My plan was to have people try the methods and post questions
concerning DETAILS that I ommitted.
   By the way "canal" is the word used by some speakers of Spanish for the
English word "CHANNEL"  I did not assume misspelling.
Restating the above---Try out what I said  in the other posting and ask me
questions
you may have.
I cant really recommend any books, as I discovered how to channel on my
own--although I have been studing "psychic" subjet matter for almost 30
years.

Does anybody have experience in contacting dead people with ouijaboard?
A friend of our's died and we would like to contact him with a self-made
ouijaboard. But we have never done anything like that before and we have
heard that you must be careful, so how do we contact him the right way?
How can we protect ourselves from evil spirits. Maybe anyone could tell
us how to contact this one special person. We are two guys who do not
know how to handle the board, so please be specific. We also only want
to contact him if we can be secure from other bad influences...
 Is that possible? We'd be glad if someone could help...
