I did have an unintentional experience with a candle flame once. I was meditating in front of a candle. Towards the end a wicked thought popped into my mind that thought being... what is there is nothing 'in/out there' ;D if there is make that little flame flare up to 3 inches high.
The flame shot up to about 6 inches and stayed there till I blinked. When I started to breath again and my eyes popped back into place I laughed heartily. I still grin when I think about it.

It is handy to be on the "good side" of the elementals; when I am doing rituals that require me to be outside looking at the moon, and it happens to be cloudy, I will request the air elementals to move the clouds aside just enough so that the moon is visible for the duration. They will also obligingly move them aside to permit me to see sky phenomena such as eclipses, f'r instance, and even if I go outside just to check the sky, it is surprising how often the moon will suddenly briefly appear to me from behind seemingly impenetrable and immobile clouds at that moment!
I often put incense outside as an offering to the sylphs when I have no pressing 'sky business"; I do believe this is why the normally contentious sylphs are glad to oblige me now and again! I use the large coils of Chinese incense that will burn all night, or the extra-large 'funerary incense" sticks.
I find the elementals of electricity will often pull in their energy fields if I ask. I used to work as an electrical mechanic for a while. Perhaps they got used to me.
"Vimalananda" in the Aghora series siad that a true achievement was to be able to have fire withdraw its burning power voluntarily as a favour to you, and not have to 'compel' it to do so. Looks like you actually were able to 'attain" that level!
Those ceremonial magicians that compel spirit cooperation always seem to me to be playing with fire - on several levels - and risk finishing much lower in the food chain than they wish.
Did you notice when the car engine comes in and immediately accelerates that there is a strong rush of elemental energy? I get tingling on the scalp each time I listen to it.
The entity of the car is spraying huge amounts of energy in all directions. This is one of the reasons that men like powerful fast cars.
The F1 car being particularly carefully made has a very sophisticated entity.
There is a similar but lesser energy effect in trail bikes where the engine is between the legs of the rider.
I was driving my 27 year old Mazda 626 and was thinking: this has done more than 300 000 km, I wonder how long I should keep it.
I had the clear response from the car: I can last 500 000 km. I have never had a numerical communication from the car.
A week or so later I looked at the GPS for 2 seconds when it beeped as I pulled away from the traffic lights. The light truck in front stopped very sharply to avoid a woman that had decided to run across 4 lanes of traffic. I did not brake nearly sharply enough, being used to gentle braking, and went under the tray of a light truck. My first collision in 40 years. I only bent his number plate.
My bonnet was damaged and the right front head lamp. I got quotes from a couple of panel beaters. Both were quite uncertain that they could get the parts. I tried some wreckers of Jap cars and got no reply. So I looked in a local secondhand web site and the day after my little accident a local wrecker had put in an ad for same car, even the exact age.
I was rather surprised to see it advertised and asked him about that. He said he was going to crush it but then he thought it was now a very rare car so worth advertising.
So I got the parts from him for a reasonable price and thereby the total cost of repair did not trigger my sell point of $1000.
So I still have the car, now for 25 years.
And thinking about that:
- did the car know it was about to be considered for sale when it told me how long it would last? - how did such a rare car come to be advertised just when I needed it?
Long ago the car spelt its name for me, but he is quite clear that I am not to publish that name. (How does he know about the internet? He is from the age of cassette players.)
The car likes new engine oil but gets unhappy if I offer to replace his very old transmission fluid.
The car is reliable, does not depreciate, is not worth insuring, I can do most of the maintenance it requires, and I like that car. I will only get another when I actually need to.
