the ideomotor effect

"just as in a good dance we don't feel pushed, when the trance state is deep, no one feels like being lead on a Ouja board. One person inadvertedly leads while the others inadvertedly follow, wich allows for a flow experience. People often experience the trance state to -i.e. the Ouija board getting 'warmer'. Curiously when the backgound-biased participant who's most likely to know or fantasize about the questions asked is blindfolded the answer is much more late to arrive. "


William James
