Mind Readers
Imagine that you’re standing on a crowded street, waiting for the bus. You’re daydreaming about something random, and you aren’t paying too much that’s going around you. Suddenly somebody touches your shoulder. “Stop thinking about that,” a person says in your ear before walking away.
Mind readers are the second most hated of all the magic users, second only to necromancers. People and mythical creatures are afraid of these, because they can do what is not natural, they can read your mind, and the powerful ones can flip through your thoughts as you can flip through a book.
Avoiding Mind Readers
So how can you avoid being mind read? That is a question that people have been asking for centuries. Recently, there has been a phenomenon of putting aluminum on your head, but that doesn’t work. The best thing to do is just think of the stupidest things possible. The mind reader will ignore you after he or she thinks you are only capable of stupid thoughts, and you will be allowed to think in peace.
Note that this suggestion is only good if you’re no one important. If you’re important, thinking stupid things can be disastrous. If you cannot think of stupid things, or if you are important, just keep thinking, “Get out mind reader.” This surprises the mind reader, and can give you a delay, in which you can get out of there. Mind reading usually gets weaker as you get farther from the mind reader.
Also, you can sometimes detect an amateur mind reader trying to get into your mind by having a sudden headache, or remembering things that you forgot a long time ago. If this occurs, you can usually push out the mind reader with your mind. Once you do that, you usually have a headache for a week, but it shows the amateur mind reader that you are powerful and he should stay away from you.
That’s only for the amateur mind readers. For the advanced mind readers, you don’t stand a chance. However, there are very few of these, so most of the time, you won’t have to worry about them.
Other ways you can prevent mind readers from reading your mind is NEVER take drugs and other mind inducing things (this makes you extremely vulnerable). Stay away from coffee and other addictive substances. And try to avoid anything that is bad, because that is what the mind reader will usually focus on, when he’s trying to figure out if you’re good or not. And if he doesn’t like you, he can make your life suck.
How to Mind Read
Though mind readers are not liked, people and mythical creatures agree that they are useful in more ways than one. They are employed as spies, nannies, and, for the modern human world, many are stock brokers. They are often wealthy and avoided because of this.
There are many ways to mind read, but mind readers do agree on one thing; you much be calm when you first start out. Many senior mind readers advise you to try and go in a quiet, comfortable room, and sit on something, and just listen to yourself breath, and sort out all the problems you have with yourself, because to read others’ minds, you have to understand yours first. Do this a number of times, until you are totally comfortable.
Then, invite others, who you feel comfortable with, come into the room and sit with you. Clear out your mind, and ask them to try and clear out theirs. You should do this, because at first it is hard to read the other person’s mind when his mind is cluttered with junk. With their minds clear, you should be able to read their minds without problem.
One of the best places to learn this is take a yoga class. In fact, yoga was invented by a mind reader who wanted to have an easier way to teach his magical students how to mind read. Just do the tips above, and you’ll be reading in no time.
Final Word
As you grow more advanced, you will find that you might be finishing sentences with people, and knowing some things that you do not want to know. Even so, there are some benefits to mind reading, and you can be sure that your friends, if you have any, can be trusted.
