Analysis 2026 Australia Classic Singles (Info)

It is rare that all my blogs and lawn bowls instructions can be grouped into one game's analysis but this happens (January 6,2026)

Players Photo
with the 2026 Australia Classics Singles between Barrie Lester and Corey Wedlock (# 2 World Bowls 2025 Rating). Beside great players, also we have commentators who know their bowls and  their Special Guest commentator Gary Kelly who is one of the world's best players. (#6 World bowls 2025 List)

The first part of a single's game after the trial ends and handshakes is the first bowls of end number one. A great example of how this first bowl is suggested to be played. We see on their first end that they both do a  "foot over weight delivery" with an attempt to do a "Jack Trail". 

 You probably have two questions at this comment. "Why ?" and "Why do I think that was their objective. Is it not better to put the bowl on the jack and pressure on the opponent. ". Yes, true. but a good "Jack Trail" will also have the bowl with the jack.

 First, a single's game is "You and Them" (all those you must play) and if it was just who is the best lawn bowler we can ask the members of the club. But even a beginning bowler who puts thought and planning into his game can win over the best bowler. To do this we must quickly evaluate our opponent and their strength as well as do our best performance. We will make mistakes but so will our opponent.

We learn the the green quickly and our opponent's playing weakness. Starting with the Trial Ends, your opponent has shown you their ability with a jack on centerline. Move the jack on the first end of play and see how your opponent handles that new condition of play. If your opponent cannot handle a moved jack, or "Open Jack"  weakness, an advantage which is best not used until the end game when you want to pick up points. 

Second, Corey is left handed and Barrie is right handed and as per the photo we see that each have chosen to play their backhand. From your "Club Coaching" sessions, we learned that "Backhand" is easier to precisely perform. When Barrie missed his jack and his "Behind the Jack" bowl had stop; we get our first lesson from the video. Why did he miss by so much his weight? The answer might be the wind, because he played "Up-wind" and with changing wind speeds it is possible your bowl is send to it Bias quickly. Maybe the player's intention and his is just learning the wind. 

 Corey probably would have likewise missed the jack except the wind kept his bowl out and on line for a Jack roll. Corey is using a narrow bias bowl which is ideal for windy conditions.

Aero Bias Chart

If neither player had touched the jack, they would both still have had a  good back bowls.  Sometimes a player will change his bowls for the condition of play as we see with Corey who is using a "Aero Dymanic" with a narrow bias probably has an advantage over Barrie who in using a wider "Aero Optima" which has a wider bias

This information was asked of the commentator by a viewer (in comments at end 5) because this is part of "Playing the Conditions" and some athletes do watch and learn from these videos. Later following the Mid-game interview where the players mention their different in their Bowl's bias; Gary, the guest commentator takes time to explaining the raison why a player would change their bowl for a windy condition of play. (End 11 with score 7-7)

The photo below shows the frist end play with before and after the jack trail. Photo #1 as Corey's Backhand bowl is about to trail the jack and photo #2 the final jack and bowls position afterwards. Also the photo is a good opportunity to show how to trail the jack by bowling to a "False Jack" but learning it also requires much practice. 

First Bowl of Singles
There are tricks for a toucher, or jack roll and the photo (right) show how these great lawn bowlers (Barrie Lester & Corey Wedlock) do such a shot. So often we see the first bowl of a Single's game played like Barrie's bowl was played here, and so we think "not a great shot". But if we take time to think what it was that the player was trying; we realize it was a hard shot and a good effort. The trick is to know the clock position for the over weight of the bowl being played for the jack Trail, False jack always between 1:30 and 2 or 11:30 and 10 depending on delivery weight.

Because these players have and use a well developed  "Muscle Memory", they are not thinking of a heavy bowl for a jack roll, because this type if thinking becomes a conscious instruction to the muscles and interrupts the "Muscle Memory". We use a 'False Jack' to allow our Muscle Memory to performance without interruption because a 'false Jack' is like a 'block' simply a bowl placement without an instructive thought. As seen in the photo (above) which shows "False Jack" at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock this trick allows your bowl's finish to move the jack, If you are bowling to a position, False Jack or Block, your  Muscle Memory just doing a delivery. 

By playing with a foot or two heavy we get a jack roll and if we play toward those "False Jack" the "Muscle Memory" adding weight asneeded for a toucher or jack roll. However, a different time (10:30) is needed for wind as a cross wind increases the roll to the jack after the bowl has passed the shoulder of the delivery.  (Play to a jack 10 inches heavy at those positions) I used the word "Trick" for this performmance because we have tricked our "Muscle Memory" into performing what they want, In any modified delivery if we don't want to interrupt 'Muscle Memory' by thinking  a muscle instruction to the conscious mind we must trick the subconscious mind like with false locations of where we want the bowl. This will even work with wind but you have to learn about wind on your bowl. A strong wind will stop your bowl from taking bias. Most changes in bowl direction are done in the shoulder and finish. The hardest adjustment for win is a 45degree as it has increase distance and swing. Practice and learn.

In viewing good Youtube game videos it is important to have good game announcers as with this Single game. The three game commenators are Peter Susovich, Sammy Atkinson and Gary Kelly, and they offer excellent detail evaluation of the players' abilities and performances. Gary Kelly who is from Ireland but living and playing Bowls in Australia has made the top 10 of the "2025 Male Player". In the over 5000 players listed, including the "2025 Female Player"  List, you will be surprise of whom from your country is listed. Hell, I played last summer a Club Single's game and my opponent is in the top 100. With Youtubes now catching most every countries competition you can now know and watch your best players on the internation scene.

In an earlier blog I said that there are three conditions which influences our Lawn Bowl performance. "Delivery" (Muscle Memory and Line) Mental Strength (Focus, Zen, and Knowledge) and Conditions of Play. This Single's game is a great teacher of "Condition of play" as we see by the photo (right) Corey Wedlock checking the wind with his bowl wipe towel prior to his delivery or maybe he is waiting for the wind to decrease in strength. Remember, a different level of wind, means a different line for that strength of wind. The video sound is bad because of the wind on the announcer's mike. 

 The photo (right) suggest a blog written in June 2019 about playing with wind. "Natural Distance Bowls and the Wind" suggest if you are going to study the effect of a windy day you should practice or study at your natural distance. Someone once said to me in a course that the bowls are so heavy that the wind will not affect them that much. This is not true but you should know how to check for the wind and play accordingly.

Blog on New Zealand Wind Play
A good blog and Video for seeing the effect of the wind on a Bowl is " "Bowls in NZ strong Wind" because the bowl just runs across the green. Written in May 2021 it looks at the Wellington Men's Pairs.

In the 9th end of play with Corey holding two, Barrie attempts to kill the end with his last bowl but missing he leaving Corey to draw for a third point to make the score 7-4. Gary Kelly as guest commentator and #6 in world Bowls Ranking is from Ireland but playing in Australia. His experience and knowledge (2nd part of Delivery) is from northern UK Lawn Bowls teaching and sharing what he was taught. Gary express how he expected Barrie to draw backhand and trail the jack to his bowls behind with his last bowl. His surprise as  to see Barrie goes heavy and speaks of his views of this decision.

Missed Takeout Shot
Sanny says. "One each to play" as Corey walks up the green behind his 3rd bowl which stops short and Sanny continues  "Bend's (nickname for Corey) hold two". Then like a professional announcer want the opinion of the guest  Sanny asks Gary Kelly  "What do you think he will play here?"

 Gary began to explain his opinion as Barry walks back to the mat for his last bowl of this end.  "I think he will play some sort of weight". "The hand will be similar" (backhand into wind). "Maybe a fraction more" (weight). "Yea, he will be trying to trail that jack. He's got two just waiting bout a yard pass". As they wait for the delivery Sanny is surprise of the heavy runner Barrie has just send down the green.

After Barry missed the take out or burning the end and a long silence after Sanny finished with "He's Miss, He's got nothing", Gary says "I don't blame him for that". Once again, these conditions. You know". He has obviously opp for what he believed was the easlier shot".

One of my blogs which talks about "Playing your Successful Percentage ", written in April 2021, looks at your shot choices. As Corey walks to the mat for his last bowl, Gary continues his comments. Gary  feels the important of explaining what just happen as he is aware of the viewers need for an explanation. Gary says:

"Just for our viewers at home. The textbook way, he probably would have played a yard (pass) to trailed the jack but in these conditions, once again, it all the "Percentage play". " It's what you play and trust". "So, what you can achieve". "Maybe not the maximum outcome, but (you try for) a positive outcome". "So Blost (nickname) opped for what he believed was the easier due to the wind".  "Taking the elements out of it, considering the wind"

Sanny also followed with "Couldn't agree more. With the bigger weight, you take the bigger weight, you take the variable of the wind and green out of it  a bit". "Compare to a yard-on shot", Gary - "The game is always about "Percentage Play". "In my mind, in my opinion" "You got to consider the conditions and what is a good shot and get a positive result there".

(Stats show viewer's interest in similar Blogs in past week.)

The Second part of the photo above, is the reaction of Barrie. His surprise to his missed "Takeout drive" and his disappointment is an important part of the game.  A good  performance at the mat requires "Focus", and his reaction is a release valve after such a shot. It is important because Barrie has to go back to the game with "A Total Focus".  Not thinking of regrets or disappointment.  Yes, he has a few minutes while the mat is placed and the jack is rolled, and centered, but to hold emotions is bad management, even if his visual reaction is not agreeable to the spectators.  Every athlete needs a method for the necessary outlet of emotions, without which he could pass 2 or 3 complete ends of bad play before recovery. 

Before one last subject... Measuring; I wish to say thank you to my readers. This blog is 8 pages (when printed) and quite a read of maybe an hour if you access also the other blogs mention.  However, looking at the stats of today, one week after posted; the  top 6 blogs are those 6 suggested or linked. Thank you.  To read is one thing, but to do the link to reference blog is another. 

Good discussion for a reader who will be playing their singles in a windy conditions and the need to take the time to consider the factors which give the best result.


Earlier they were playing minimum distance jacks which make takeout easier; but after several umpire measures in a single end of play they when to the longer jack. 

In a blog on "Measuring which bowl is Shot"  there are a lot of different methods and devices mention, even a Sonic Measure (before 1950s and Lasers).  This request for a measure in the 12th end shows a  "Measuring Extension" for the bowls' measure of over 3 feet distance from the jack and needed the use of calibers. Although the 4th point was refused, this end-to-end head and the heavy wind gave Corey  3 points and permitted a  catch up on points to a 6-7 score from 3-7.

Subconscious Mind - Biological Computer (NMem)

 This blog is written to expose just how much power exist over time if one works daily in developing the subconscious mind. I will not approach this topic again and this is the deepest i intend to go in an attempt to reveal this subject.   Read with an open mind and Enjoy.

Where to start ? First If the mind has a biological computer power it might explain the "Third Eye" concept as an influence on our abilities.  To start. let us imagine there is just  "Us and Them" or "Science and Mankind" in this our world. Taking "Us" as ourselfs and our own abilities and "Them" as all those things outside of us as an individual. A lot of the subconscious mind unique abilities has leads to people mentioning their developed mental ability as the "Third Eye" and it as the center of intuition or the sixth "Chakra".

 Like science, the mind's ability is not a recent development. Although Static Electricity was identified by the Greek Philosopher Thales of Miletus in 600 BC and it was later termed as "electricus" in 1600; we still were forced to wait for Thomas Edison in 1887 to invent the light bulb, thus starting our total dependence on this daily power.

As for "Us",  as an a biological species, the mind's development also began gaining recognition early, around late 300 BC, with the Greek philosophers like Aristotle exploring the interworking of the mind and then later Hippocrates (400BC) challenged the supernatural. (Google AI)

 "Google AI says "The recognition of mankind's mental power has evolved over thousands of years, transitioning from ancient spiritual interpretations to scientific cognitive and psychometric evaluation"

If we can see our brain as a "biological Computer", in this our age of computers and cellphones; we might realize that our "Subconscious" or "Instinctive" actions used daily, but too often overlooked; as revealing the extreme powers of the mind. (both the conscious and subconscious mind).  How much of our daily action, are really what we are allow  to control? Many daily actions actually happens without our involvement. Our body functions, breathing, and even walking and keeping our Balance; are not a physical action we control. Actions we think we control, like running are still done as an automatic mental performance.

For "Them" I will allow you to realize all the different waves types which are now passing through our surroundings but were unknown only in the past decade. (radio, Television, Microwave, Light and color wavelengths) and still new items being named daily like "Quarks","Leptons" and even their waves (wavicles). As for "Us", I use this photo (a screen capture from Youtube video of Carlos Castaneda Journey to Ixtlan " to explain our surroundings and the aspect of our brains.

In my personal development of Archery, I discovered the writings of Carlos Castaneda about his  anthropological investigation of  the Mexican Yaqui tribal sorcerer Juan Matus.  The title given to these native powers, by white society, was "Native Sorcery" because what is not understood is attacked spiritually. These mental powers are found in all cultures, both the South American and North American natives societies.

 With thousand of native cultures and  their spiritual needs, these  powers were developed over the many centuries and used for spiritual and medical healing insight. In all of these culture, over these many centuries,  they perfected a subconscious mind development which can only be identify as an unbelievable powers.

The three parts of the photo (above) and defines "Us" is explained as: 1- our daily life, then 2 a " Our Reality", which we see as the world around us (but a slap on the back will show us this reality as a moment of white light)  and 3 - "The separation of this "Reality Line" into many different realities which really exist". These realities are what the mind is able to tune in like a radio or electronic device. 

I will here mention a few subconscious abilities, a  few which I have personally experienced, and mention others like from the book  "Black Elk Speaks" (1932). This interview with a American Oglala Lakota medicine man, has a description of a vision he had several year earlier. Although the book was published 50 years before Jet flight at 20,000 feet, the vision he describes is what we all see today when we fly.  He describes in precise detail the view that someone else had experience some 50 years into his future.

 There is an important principle here. Ghost, real or imaginary, are seen because the energy released by excitement, fear or violence has capture that action in time and can be viewed like your TV program was captured. This capture excitement of a first flight was what Black Elk saw and was the excitement of someone 50 years past his death. 

In the same manner, an action by one person can generate a response by hundreds of people thinking the same thing. Especially with today's use of the internet and Google search. First, now , Feb 09, 2026, as I write this blog, I discover a Facebook notification as an Instagram posting by "My Abilities, Sport Media", I don't know of their existance and the only  reference to my blog writing is that now Australia is busy in Lawn Bowls.

 Maybe, cookies (collected data or user's search) linking my work of these days to them. (all 458)  Maybe an advertising on a common communication apps (like Facebook).  Why am I surprise ?? I have not posted the blog yet and something drew an extremely large volume of readers to my blog site. This group which explain  their object of a internet webpage as  "Showcasting Australian Disability Sport, because inlusion inlcusion matters" seem to touch a bit on this subject.

 Their contact  on that day would have been overlooked and have mean nothing had not also at the same time I received almost 500 view/readers in my blog's stats. My past 10 years of blogs (174) has been about the sport of Lawn Bowls and the development of "Muscle Memory" and only recently (this last month), a bit about the power of the "Third Eye". 

 The 174 Blogs,  which normally receive an average 3500 visits per month because of a daily reader volume of 100 read/visits; had receive 458 visit/reads. These blogs, which are sometimes six or seven pages when printed, would take several hours to read  just a few  of the blog on some particular subject.

 My work on developing this subject has triggered some sort of a mass introduction of my blog to readers. (yes, a crazy idea).  Later in this blog, I will be talking about a "Thread of Global Thought" and explaining other experiences; but this experience seem like something had made such a linkage without any of my involvement.

 A reality and/or a power, from our  combined thoughts (the reality of thought on a unique subject or somethings); maybe  it seems more powerful than just a lucky occurrence.  As the blog was being build over last weeks of January and I was write about using my mental powers to go to Mexico and remove a headache for my daughter. Some how these readers linked with the blog (my thinking) which was in development and not yet published,  (I did send the link to a friend from Argentina for a review after which it was deleted within hours). 

I asked my friend if  this was too much said and too strange in details. Sometime in today's internet, there is that "too strange for understanding reaction" by readers who visit a new sites; 500 visitors is a lot when my viewer base are mostly about their interest in  a sport (lawn bowls) for more than 10 years.

(to continue) The development of Mankind (us as humans) would not have survived  as a species, was it not the ability of the subconscious mind  "to identify danger" and then to act quickly toward saving our lives. As humans evolved, we build an instinctive mind (the subconscious mind) to take total control of all our actions in order to protect us or perform what seem impossible.

The same mind function saw our body functions needing instinctive control, (such as self balance when walking), and with a self-awareness, we created an instinctive abilities which in today's sports is  identify as "Muscle Memory" or "Instinctive Performance". .

While the conscious mind is us thinking and instructing our muscles in their performance, the subconscious mind is a behind the scene actions (instinctive in nature) which are performing action, sometimes an extra power and precision.

To know the force of this biological computer we can  look at a few sports but first, what is more amazing is many mental abilities which are never discussed in certain cultures. "Aura reading" or "Aura sight" is the ability some individuals seem to have as an ability to see an individual's auras or energetic fields which are surrounding people.

 Google AI explains this as "Scientifically, this experience is often attributed to a neurological phenomenon called 'Synaesthesia'. In some cultures this ability identifies health problems and even followed by treatments. The simple explanation is often stated as "Specifically emotion-color or face-color synaesthesia".

Sometime we attempt to explain the subconscious mind having been developed to address weakness in body parts, like our eyes. The eye's movement and visual abilities are very limited. Because the brain can only resolve visual action by way of "Flicker Fusion"; it has lead to the invention of television and movies by using the 60 Hz (frames per second) flicker.

Where our eyes hold an image for 1/30th of a second and retina image retention is about 2 minutes; you can experience this by looking at a bright object (window or light) and then closing the eyes see the image remain on the eye's retina for some time.  As I wrote in a previous blog, sometimes the subconscious mind will impose these memory images when the image being viewed is about an extremely fast actions which was not seen.

 In one of my blogs while working with an athlete preparing for a world championship; the athlete was sure he saw his target, he was attempting to hit with his Petanque ball,  fly off in a certain direction; only to later find out that he had seen a memory substituted by the subconscious mind. Because the brain did not see the actual object fly and because the athlete had need to see something, the mind had provided the athlete with a memory of a previous event. ( I had removed the cochon from behind the petanque ball whichwas in front of it)

The sport of Baseball, is probably the most amazing indication of this extreme limits of  the adaptation and development by our subconscious mind. How can a Baseball batter see the baseball which is being thrown at 100 m/h, over  the short distance of 61 feet or 18 meters). The batter must see the baseball, activate the needed muscles to swing and then have the precision to strike the ball; and hit the ball in the wanted direction.

Asking Google  " If a baseball is thrown at 100 m /h how long does it take to travel 61 feet", and AI  replies was  " approximately 0.416 seconds for the baseball to travel 61 feet." . 

Google AI, also  further explains that the distance is more likely is closer to  54 to 55 feet because of the pitcher's step forward while pitching. 

 "From this closer release point, a 100 mph pitch reaches the plate in approximately 0.375 to 0.400 seconds, which is about the same time it takes for a human to blink." 

Also because of air resistance,  the baseball has probably been slowed a bit.

I approach the sport of baseball because the adaptability of the eye to see the various types of pitches in this split second also show how muscle memory is not muscles being developed and controlled by also changes on how it is done by the subconscius mind. Certainly a sort of mental artificial intelligence as new skills are developed in the eye's need to identify the baseball's path at that speed.

AI says of this:   "the eye uses "smooth pursuit" to follow the ball, but when the ball's speed exceeds the eye's ability to smoothly follow (typically around 30°/s), the eyes switch to "catch-up saccades"—rapid, ballistic jumps to align the fovea (the center of highest acuity) with the ball's new position" and as for the speed of the brain "

Now back to the American Native culture and their development of the subconscious mind's powers over decades of spiritual and medical needs. Because of  lost of  these mental abilities by a system of "Forced assimilation" during the conquest of the many "New World" peoples; I will mention here a couple of events which will show how far they had advance these mental powers.

Thoughout my sport evalation blogs of Lawn Bowls, I  have discuss how "Muscle Memory" is part of the athlete's development and I often speak of a "Zen Moment" or "Void of thought" which in East Asian culture is know as "No-Mind" (Mushin),  short mental moment which is experienced and known by most professional athletes. With their total involvement in their performance they have allowed the subconscious mind to perform with perfection their developed skill. How these athletes in other sports use "Muscle Memory' can be see in the now televised Olympics Winter Games in Milan where the best athletes are performing daily.

 In Chinese and Japanese cultures, this mental development of the subconscious part of the mind has become projected more toward spiritual and health and well being; with the exception being the sport of Kyudo. This traditional Japanase martial art ( a type of archery) is deeply rooted in Zen, Shinto, and Confusianism, and it emphasizes "correct Shooting" (seisha seichu) where an arrow aimed with a pure mind and proper form will find its mark naturally. A sport developed with  an equal important on the  perfection of performance and the subconscious mind's balance in the athlete's daily life.

This same culture development across the ocean to the Americas is found in the writing of Carlos Castaneda  and his experiences in understanding the Mexician Yaqui spiritual teachings.  In his first two books his interests seems more in the psychedelic drug of  Peyote, but his third book "Journey to Ixtlan" , we find the teaching of his spiritual guide, a Yaqui shaman "Don Juan". This first introduction to possible  ability to "stop the world" with a development of a strong mental abilities.  Sometimes referred in other writings as the "Third Eye" aspect of our subconscious mind; we are shown how it applied to Global Interaction of individuals minds over great distances. (like removing headaches of the distance from Canada to Mexico)

To understand Castaneda there is a good Youtube video called Castaneda Journey to Ixtlan by Howdie Mickoski.  Mention not as suggested viewing but as possible reference if the reader was of interest to know more. The "Journey to Ixtlan" was probably his best of his books, because Castaneda  began introducing his readers to many exercises of "stopping" that suggested the advance abilities of our subconscious mind and ability to enter different realities. 

In the blog's title, I suggest our brains are like a biological computer, where our storage of memories from our actions is more like our home computer than a human body part. With our computer "Hard Drive" of many Gigabytes of storage we can relate our "Brain's memories and experiences in the same relationship. Where in the past we build our "Muscle Memory" for a basic need for survival and in time of danger, today athletes now work on  it to advance development of their sports. In other blogs I show "Lawn Bowl Athletes" how they can use their stored memories of previous events to develop their subconscious actions toward a better performance. 

The sport of Lawn Bowls, which this blog writes views for, is more then the simple task of a bowl's delivery with it step forward and arm swing delivery movement. In today's development and with the internet "Google" searches. people find anything. For example, my blogs suggest exercises for further development of the subconscious control of muscles and because it is part of  my belief  Neuroprotection. (prevent degeneration of brain cells).  The American natives don't get Alzheimer's or Parkison because their elders are responsible for story telling the history of their people and work hard to remember and recall. Neuroprotection (google says) refers to strategies and mechanisms designed to prevent delay or reduce the loss of neurons and preserve brain structure and function.(Prevent Neurodegenerative).  

 The mental exercise of projection into your mind needed for forcing the subconscious mind to learn new action, which was done above with the headache or done in "Muscle Memory" building, is the feeling that is mention  when Carlos Castaneda describes the Yaqui's mental power as a Global Thread of Universal Thought.  This age old idea of the brain's ability when explained and says When you focus on it, you'll feel the energy concentrated in your forehead, sometimes extending back into your head or spreading across your temples " ( a "Third Eye")

 A internet search of this will reveal the following: "The "Global Thread of Universal Thought" refers to the concept of a shared, interconnected consciousness or underlying intelligence that links all beings and phenomena in the universe. This idea appears across diverse fields, bridging ancient spiritual wisdom, modern psychology, and theoretical physics, suggesting that individual minds are part of a larger, unified whole",

Lets look at what might be such an example of this power of the Subconscious mind, or the "Third Eye".  Believe it or not.. what follows is true.

During a online Pachisi game last month with a New Jersey resident as my partner, she was explaining her several headaches of the last several days. I explained  that my wife, who is third generation Native, was given by her father's brother (her uncle) the ability to removes headaches. Having done many mental exercises over the last 20 years, I explained I had never tired it but would try it for her as I had seen my wife do it so many times.

After an half hour explaining the principle of  "Global Thread of Universal Thought" (developing her confidence) we decided to try it. It was hard to convince her but eventually I felt her headache and she replied that although it was not completely gone; it was bearable now.

A few weeks later I was talking to my daughter who was wintering in Mexico explained how she also had again one of her headache, which she had often asked her mother to remove. I told her of the New Jersey incident and  I  wantrf to try to remove it for her.  I was wondering if distance was a problem. Being a family member, I felt it might be easier than a stranger like my online game's partner from New Jersey.

I tried and was successful only to discover  that her headache was one hell of a headache. I was glad it lasted for only about an hour, because I never get headaches. Three days later when I again got that same bad headache, I text my daughter to asked it was her headache I was feeling. She and her daughter had been talking about my previous interaction a few days before and it appeared to recreate the link as she  said "NO but Chloe has one ", my grand-daughter had been complaining all morning about her bad headache.

Google AI Defined

Why, this ability explained here ?  Although I am not of native blood, after several years of developing an instinctive style of archery and   intense work to build an abilities my concentration at the shooting line was so deep I had experience of being at the target when the arrow struck and felt with the arrow's sound as if it was hitting me. Concentration, so intense that I several times saw myself at the shooting line doing my Archery shot as if I was looking down at myself. Yes, an experience called  "out-of-body".

I did a lot of Instinctive Archery competitions and actually won three medals at the Canadian Nationals in the late 70's. (2 gold and a silver) because I was not looking at the target but  "visually" seeing the small "X" at the target center.. In developing my ability to see and shoot instinctively I searched for information on the ability of mental concentration and got into reading books by Carlos Castaneda. 

One other important support of the reality of this power is in the writings about a Holy Man of the Oglata Sioux called "Black Elk". In  the Poet John G Neihardt  book called "Black Elk Speaks" we find the 1930 interviews and conversation with  Black Elk who explained his life and spiritual visions as he passed his later years at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. As mention above, his vision of flying above the clouds is not uncommon in native literature as there are other stories from native experiences of seeing things before they actually arrived. In Southern native culture there are stories tell about the coming of the Conquistados in Flordia and South America before they arrived or Americian and Canadian shamans seeing the building of the Railway and tmoving rains before they arrived in the west.

I will look for my copy of the book "Black Elk Speaks" and update this blog with the detail of his vision of flying above the clouds in a Jet.  An image described and published in 1932  which was printed 50 years before planes flew that high.
