The principle he used in sitting for ideas was simply to close his eyes, slow down his brainwaves, visualize the project completed and “ask” the universe
to solve the problem. Firm in the belief that the solution he sought would be his.
The interesting thing was that he intuitively knew that by closing his eyes, relaxing in his favorite chair, and visualizing an invention AS THOUGH
it had already been created, it would become a reality. He “saw” items that
had not been invented. He “saw” them as completed working models.
Remember his quote to a journalist who foolishly called him a genius,
congratulating him on his successes.
Edison said, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”.
Edison’s technique is available to you now, to solve problems and to work
creatively. First, provide yourself with the goal and then, follow the four
steps outlined.

The Ball Bearing Technique
What was especially fascinating was that Edison used to, during these
visualization/meditation sessions, hold in his hand two heavy large ball
bearings about the size of small golf balls.
Closing his eyes relaxed his body, but it did more than that, it slowed his
brainwaves.
Edison was in “creative” alpha. Alpha is a name scientist’s use for a
brainwave that is slowed down, much as one’s brainwave slows down in the
approach to sleep.
If you’re unfamiliar with brainwaves let me tell you that you do not have to
understand them.
All you have to believe is that brainwave frequencies vary during our entire
lifetime on a second by second basis. As the brain slows down, the more
intellectually advanced it seems to become. In other words, the more it appears to be connected with the universe.
Alpha is natural, a slowed down state of brainwaves. Creative ideas are often generated when the brainwaves are slowed down and in “alpha”,
which may explain why many people have intuitive ideas when they wake in
the night, while having a bath, or when day dreaming on the beach, walking
in the park, or swimming, because, at that time their consciousness relaxes
and brainwaves slow down and the subconscious then works best.
Normal wide awake state is known as beta. The brain is operating at
maximum physical efficiency, but it is often not in creative acceptance
mode. You may work, play sports, or do almost any physical, eyes open
activity, in this beta state.
The next slower state is a brainwave that operates in a relaxed atmosphere.
Half awake, half asleep, like when watching television on a boring night, or
floating in a bath of warm water. You’ve let the tension go and your brain
has slowed down but you are not asleep. You are not wide awake either.
This is the receptive area. You can be in alpha for half an hour or you can be Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2010

in alpha in just a second. When you close your eyes, even in a blink, your
mind takes a “breather” and slows down into alpha.
Alpha is an area where you can be very perceptive and receptive of
information. It is an area where “ideas” will come to you. It is an area where you can talk to the universe and have problems solved. In short, alpha is
creative. Full uses of alpha have yet to be realized, but more and more ways
of obtaining information at this level of mind are and will be discovered as
we become homo noeticus and move through the exciting 21st century.
Lower level theta is really slow brainwaves. You are asleep and not aware of
your surroundings, although, there are areas where theta and alpha merge;
where dreaming is common and which can be used creatively. Theta deep
sleep area is a healing level, a restoration level, where the body heals itself during your nightly rest.
Delta is a really slow brainwave. It is unknown if people in really deep sleep are in delta or theta. In a coma, certainly is delta and little in known of the benefits of this state. It may be a suspended “life” state, as people who
wake up after a 10 year coma appear to be the same age as before their
sleep. Yet, their life force seems to have moved along as such people,
returning from a coma of long duration, seldom live long afterwards.

Edison’s Power
You have the power to use your own intuitive mind power in exactly the
same way of Edison.
Situation 1
You are playing football and the crowd is cheering, the ball is floating
towards you. Your concentration is absolutely intense. Your thoughts are so
focused consciously on what you are doing, nothing can distract you. There
is no way your brainwaves are relaxed. They are on a high frequency beta.
Situation 2
Let’s go to the opposite end of the scale. You are in a deep, deep sleep after working and playing hard all day. You are so deep you are almost in coma.
Your brainwaves are on a low, slow frequency, much lower than alpha. A
brainwave level the scientific boys call theta. Again, a natural level, just as natural as beta (wide awake) or alpha (slightly slowed down).
In theta you are unaware of anything on a conscious level and while little is known of this level, you are not in a creative or ESP acceptance level. It is almost certain that, at this level, your body is experiencing chemical
restoration of the physical; restoration after the day’s strenuous activities.
But it is so deep that it is generally accepted that you do not even dream at this level.
Situation 3
A bright sunny day! A good day to be alive! Aren’t they all? You are walking
down the beach. You feel a little tired so you sit under a shady palm tree.
The waves beating on the shore have a very soporific effect. You close your
eyes and totally relax.
You are in “non-creative” alpha. Day dreaming alpha! A very similar state to
dreaming while being awake, and an area of great creativity when you
master it. For non-creative alpha, as opposed to Edison’s creative alpha is a very intriguing state. It is then, when you let your thoughts “run wild” that Copyright © All Rights Reserved 2010

michaelsjohnson.com
“Intuitive Mind Power” by Michael S JohnsonPage 45 of 82
you may achieve astonishing inspiration. A problem that has been puzzling
you may suddenly be solved in a “flash” of inspiration. Reason, you are
“alert” to ESP. You are relaxed. You are laid back. Your stresses and
tensions are taking a back seat and your brain is operating in alpha relaxed
and intuitively receptive.
Situation 4
You wake up after a long deep sleep. A clock radio woke you and a catchy
tune was playing. That tune goes through your head all day. You hum it in
the shower. Burst into song in your car. Tap your feet to it in the elevator.
Finally, you get so busy at work in the beta level that you unconsciously put the song aside.
The tune entered your mind while your brain was under the influence of
“slow” alpha brainwaves, and try as you might, the darned thing just went
around and around in your brain for hours, until it left of its own accord. Or you became so busy in beta that your alpha level stopped throwing the tune
at you.
This situation, the waking up in the morning situation, being half awake and
half asleep, is the situation Edison used deliberately.
You might wonder about Edison’s ball bearings?
They were to specifically stop him from falling asleep. He knew instinctively that by creative visualization in the alpha state with a slowed down brain,
he would receive inspiration.
If he fell asleep, his brain would be too slow and he would be wasting his
valuable alpha time. So, if he dropped the ball bearings, the loud click of the bearings as they fell from his fingers and rolled noisily across his wooden
floor would wake him. He would then pick them up and start again.

Persistence is the Key to All Success
Never short of persistence, Mr. Edison! He is reputed to have completed up
to 10,000 experiments in his search to be the first man in the modern era to
create an electric light globe. He didn’t give up. He never gave up. I pass on the message of his persistence as it separates all in life whom are successful from all who are not. If you wish to use the technique in this manual to
improve your life or simply to make money, be persistent in the application
of the principles.
Practice and never give up.
I have studied brainwave technology for many years and have developed
just enough understanding of brainwaves and ESP to realize how little I
really know. We are fringe dwellers in the noetic age. But the storehouse of
all knowledge is releasing knowledge on a scale unprecedented, and the
more we reach into this storehouse, while in the alpha state, the more we
will learn.

The Past, the Present, and the Future
Perhaps, you, in your alpha state will be the next person to receive new
knowledge from the universe.
Ever wondered why, electricity was never harnessed commercially until the
19th century?
Ever wondered why we accepted the sailing boat as the number one method
of sea transport for thousands of years?
Ever wondered why the internal combustion engine was never discovered
until the 18th century?
Ever wondered why washing machines were not invented until 1944?
Ever wondered why men wore beards for 10,000 years, because no one had
invented the safety razor?
Ever wondered why man moved out of the dark ages at all?
Well, one of the reasons is that, although all the products necessary to
make an internal combustion engine were always here, although the
elements needed to create commercial electricity were always here, no one
bothered to “ask” the universe for what it was that was needed to move on
in evolution. No one bothered to creatively visualize the “impossible”. No
one wanted to risk the derision that sometimes follows those who want to
think in a bigger box.
People laughed at Leonardo da Vinci, who created a model of a working
submarine and a helicopter 400 years ago.
Friends and family wanted to lock up Guglielmo Marconi, when he told them
he could send messages across the globe without the use of wires. They
thought he was crazy.
Nostradamus had to change all his saying into poems as he was in fear of
being accused of witchcraft.
Here’s the truth. The world was not ready for these products in days gone
by. Because too many feared the unknown! Because the boxes that we call

michaelsjohnson.com
“Intuitive Mind Power” by Michael S JohnsonPage 48 of 82
“beliefs” were given to us from generation to generation as “truth”, not
given to us as “this is all we know so far”.
The evolution of humanity is now moving at such an astonishing speed that
100 years from now you and I will be looked on as primitives. Just as we
look back only 200 years and see our ancestors as people who lived by the
plough and communicated only by talking.
In the field of mental telepathy, the future is arriving now. You are a part of it.
For reasons unknown, my intuition has always been positive and worked for
me. It has never worked negatively or against me.
Your mind will warn you of danger and guide you into prosperity if you listen to it!
I have received warnings of dangers that are about to occur, before they occurred: and have received intuitive signs that, now is the time to act in an on going situation. You possess this power too.
Once when driving on a wet night on a two lane separated highway, a car
came towards me. Not only going the wrong way on a one way road, but
the driver was driving without lights and very fast. What made me pull
sharply over into the left hand edge just before this happened? It was pure
intuitive mind power.
Another occasion, while driving in the country, my wife passed me a
banana. I dropped it near the hand change gearbox. Rather than reached
for it, I stopped the car and picked it up. On re-starting, I drove round the corner and right in front of me was a 4 car pile up. This was in the country
near Mount Barker, in Western Australia. I had been traveling at 110
kilometers an hour before the banana incident. Nothing would have stopped
this being a 5 car accident, except for me stopping to pick up a dropped
banana.
Intuition: Coincidence: A warning: Or all three?

Be Professional in All You Do
Some years ago I set
out to be a professional
gambler.
Let me tell this in the
first person as it my own
story.
Being a mathematician
at heart, I am quite successful at this, but eventually the “atmosphere” of
casinos and horse racing parlors (Tabs) lost their attraction for me. About
10 years ago I reverted to my previous passion for playing the share
market, especially the derivatives market and this passion has never left
me.
I have my own piece of futures trading software now and am happy and
willing to help anyone interested in this type of money making venture to
get started. Email me at info@michaelsjohnson.com
The details below are a little of my past history.
The principles of success and intuitive mind powers remain unchanged.
I “play” the horses on one day a week on a Saturday. This then is a
business day for me, and my family leaves me undisturbed with my texts,
my computer programs, the Sportsman newspaper, and racing radio.
When I finally make a selection, I am very selective, usually only playing 3
or 4 horses per afternoon, and sometimes none. I have a little technique
that I find almost infallible.

The Dice Effect
Firstly, I throw a dice at the start of the day. If I get a 4, 5 or a 6, I know I am going to have a good day. If I throw a 1, 2 or a 3, I know the day may
have its dangers. This dice throwing alone is not everything. It is just
something I do every morning, every day anyway, and my intuitive mind
power tells me whether the spin is a good or a bad omen. Sort of a personal
biorhythm, the control of which tells me I have a 50% chance of the result
being high and 50% of the result being low.
To prove to myself that my intuition is working 100% ok, I have “sat out”
(not bet) on a 6 day and looked at the money I would have won. I have
played (bet) on a 1 day and lost money. But when I bet on a 4, 5, or 6 day,
I inevitably win.
The principle is probably similar to using Tarot cards. What card is turned up is really of little importance. What is important is the “feeling” the
“intuitiveness” you get from the card, or in my case, the numbers I have
thrown.
It is not the quality of the selections I bet on, they are very thoroughly
thought out. It is my intuition, my ESP working for me, as it is supposed to, that makes me the money.
We live in a world of pessimists and anything that can be done to give
controlled optimism is to be encouraged. I urge you to read all you can on
ESP and develop techniques that you like that will work for you. The more
you know, the further you will go.
We live in more than a physical world. We live in a neuron network of
physical/mental vibrations and when we tune in to these vibrations, life
works!
Everything is a vibration, including you. The frequencies you “attune”
yourself to, will lead you on to fortune. But if you are now NOT where you
want to be, your past will show you that you have “attuned” yourself to
negative vibrations, of which there are more than plenty.

My recommendation is not to try and let your day be guided by anything as
simple as the spin of a dice but to use other controlled intuitive techniques, of which controlled intuitive mind power is but the first.
Sometimes the vibrations I received from my dice toss time are so bad that
I know it is not a gambling day - Sort of like getting a triple negative
biorhythm. I “listen” to this sense of danger and for that day, I abandon any thoughts of using real money. I become a watcher. Understand this;
gambling is a business to me. I am not out for a thrill or to shout myself hoarse when some animal storms home. I am out plainly and simply to
combine science with intuition, and to make money over any reasonable
length of time. That does include some weeks when I do not listen to my
intuition.
When I spin the dice, I use techniques I shall shortly introduce to you.
Closed eyes, deep breath, eyes upwards, and intuitive questions? Believe
the answer. Sometimes it comes in the dice, other times from my mental
screen.
Let me go into this just bit further.

The Pendulum Effect
Ok. I have selected Sydney race 4, horse 4, Magic Sign.
On my desk, I have a round curtain rod ring, or it might have been be a key
ring. I don’t know. I’ve had it for years. Only the thread has changed.
Perfectly round, balanced, weighted without any bias. I don’t know what it
was originally. To this ring, I have attached about 20 centimeters of fine
cotton. I hold this cotton so that the ring settles down with no movement
and I “ask” the pendulum if my horse, Magic Sign, will win Sydney race 4. I
close my eyes and ask for guidance, playing the “I sense, I receive” game.
If the pendulum swings back and forward it is a “yes.” I place my bet. If the pendulum refuses to leave the vertical position, I do not bet. This is total
trust in my intuition. You see I “think” this technique works. Remember
Henry Ford.
Understand this is also the “Edison effect” in practice. I have done the steps that require work. The last question is the intuitive one, the one the
pendulum answers.
I have done the physical work required to find the winner. I have
researched the race and come up with a fit horse, who is in the betting
market at an attractive price and who has the correct class and weight
factors to win today. But the pendulum, controlled by universal intuitive
factors that I don’t pretend to understand, makes the final decision for me.
It is invariably correct. It works for me!
The physical pendulum is something intuitive that you must learn to trust,
and if you do trust it, it will always work for you. The hard part is to believe that your intuition is right and not placing the bet if you get the “no”
indication.
Like the “I sense” technique that I will introduce shortly, you may get the
feeling that you are making it up. That the pendulum swing is artificial, you might feel that you have done something physically to oscillate it. You

haven’t! Your vibrations, your intuitive mind power connection has been
asked a question and has given you an answer.
Let Your Instinct Be Your Guide
If the question is about money, and if you value your money; and if you
truly are homo noeticus, the new age man, you’ll always trust your intuition
and let your instinct be your guide.

The Casino Touch
I was in our local casino one day when I
developed the following technique quite
accidentally.
But first let me tell you: the technique was
already known to me as variance of universal
law. A law that could not be changed or
challenged!
It was just that I had never considered using it
in a gambling situation. Now I asked myself, why not? But first, here’s an
example of how it worked for me in a business venture.
Business First
About 20 years ago I answered an advertisement from a “gold prospector”,
who was seeking money in deposits of $10,000 to continue his work.
I went to his office and he spun a good story about needing the money to
“prove up” a gold find near Kalgoorlie, which he had already discovered, and
then, when the “proving up” process was complete, forming a public
company. Those with $10,000 or more invested would become preference
shareholders in a new company.
He promised great wealth and told his story well, had a whopping gold
nugget on the table in front of him, which he said was genuine. (Try to keep
your eyes off that!). Also, he had an old newspaper article about himself,
claiming that old time prospectors like him, were able to find gold where
others could not.
A neat story of how share investors who wait for a public company shares to
be offered are too late to make the big profits available to early investors.
He also said that he had been “loaned” the office we were now sitting in, by
an old ex-bush friend of his who struck it rich a few years ago, and then put his money into commercial real estate, part of which was a few office

blocks. That could explain why he had no phone or electronic equipment.
(Which he did not mention but which I noticed.)
While looking at the chart of the mining lease, I leaned forward, held my
hand as though I was holding two ball bearings, closed my eyes for a
second,
