The development and use of psi in gambling is much like the development and use of psi in other areas.

Begin by setting your intent. What are you trying to do? Win the lottery? Find winners of horse races? Pick profitable stocks? Also consciously consider why you want to achieve this? Hopefully to further your Spiritual progress in some way.

Our psi abilities are in constant competition with our physical faculties. We must therefore seek to reduce the physical demands made upon our minds (the interface between body and soul). This happens in different ways for different people, but for example may consist of deep, controlled breathing, gently relaxing each part of the body in turn, attempting to blank the mind, focusing the mind on some mindless task (like counting backwards), listening to relaxing music, prayer, chanting..... Experiment to find what works best for you.

The aim is to become detached from the material world. Try to adopt an attitude of non-caring or letting go. Many successful psychics say that the world somehow seems different when they are in strongest psi state.

Don't try too hard. Don't even try at all. Just see what comes and accept it without judgment. You might want to have your lottery play-slip, race cards or financial pages in front of you. Alternatively you might just want to blank your mind and see what comes in - recording it with tape recorder or notebook. Again, find what works best for you.

You don't have to play for real. Repeat running through the above and checking outcomes as often as you like without committing cold hard cash. You should find that your performance improves over time, as with most things. But don't be surprised if it drops back to average as soon as you start putting your money on the table. In this case you may need to re-examine your intentions for Spiritual purity.

If we all have psychic ability and we are all trying to win the lottery, how come we don't all win every week? Well, one reason is that if we all won, the prize wouldn't be worth winning anyway as it would be shared by so many. Another explanation is that such massive instant wealth isn't part of everyone's (self-chosen) life plan. We might think that while upstairs we'd all choose a life of riches and comfort, but up there we recognize that coming here isn't such a big deal and that actually greater lessons can be learned from hardship than from contentment. Finally, in all desiring earthly wealth we are effectively all pulling against each other and to a large extent canceling out each other's efforts.

It has long been thought that psychic ability cannot be used for personal gain, eg many mediums report being unable to receive messages for themselves. It is certainly not the intention of Spirit that we use our psychic gifts to abdicate the responsibilities we came here to fulfill by wallowing in the luxury of unearned wealth. However, provided we consciously set the intention to use any psychically assisted gains to further, rather than retard, our Spiritual progress, and any such gains are not excessive for this purpose, there is no reason why we should not demonstrate our psi through gambling success.

If it ain't on your life path, it ain't gonna happen. But if it's there as a potentiality, then maybe it might. And if you help it along then that chance can only increase.

Lots of religious faiths state that gambling is sinful. I stop short of such damning condemnation but acknowledge these teachings offer a valuable warning that should be heeded.

There are two dangers in gambling. The first is the risk of losing more than you can afford. Always set limits on your gambling which lie well within your comfort zone. If a gamble places at risk something that if lost would significantly damage your life quality, then don't take that gamble.

Secondly, don't try to use gambling as a means of avoiding your Spiritual responsibilities. If you want something, and it's within your potential, then you have to try to bring it about - and gambling is but one way of doing that. But look upon success as a means of progressing further and faster, not an excuse for abdicating responsibility.
