Does ask the spirits really exist? How to explain scientifically?

Two people each hold a pen in one hand, cross their fingers, let the nib stand on the paper, and then read aloud, and the pen will move. Draw a circle on white paper with pre-written words, and calculate your "past life" according to the traces drawn by the pen tip. Yesterday, Xiao Ye, a high school student who believed in this game called "Ask the spirits", was surprised to find that when she played with the psychologist in Tongren Hospital, she failed. Inviting "ask the spirits" is very popular among teenagers, especially middle school students. Ask the spirits wholeheartedly about their future and marriage. Some predict that they will go crazy, others will be in a trance and even commit suicide. Xiao Ye said that at first, she didn't believe it, just out of curiosity. Later, because I thought it was particularly accurate, I wanted to ask "ask the spirits" first. Every time the result is not good, the more she thinks about it, the more afraid she is, so that she is afraid to go out, surf the Internet and make phone calls.

Zhang Shufang, a psychologist at Beijing Tongren Hospital, said that among the consultants she received recently, there were many similar cases. "People think' ask the spirits' is magical, and the key is that the pen' itself' will move. In fact, this is a subconscious unconscious behavior implied by human psychology. It turns out that when playing' ask the spirits', people's wrists and arms remain suspended and need to constantly overcome gravity, otherwise they will fall to one side, and constantly overcome dumping, which will form a circular action, which is the basic reason for drawing a circle with strokes; At the same time, due to subconscious actions, players will unconsciously move closer to the goal. Among them, people who seek eternal life will hesitate before denying the goal, and sensitive players can perceive and move closer to the corresponding goal until a' miracle' appears. Superstitious games such as' Cai Xian',' Chopsticks Xian' and' Qian Xian' popular in some places are similar to' Pen Xian'. "

Then why can't the doctor and Xiao Ye successfully play "Ask the spirits"? Zhang Shufang explained: "When I tried this game with my consultant, I didn't read the words on the paper, didn't receive the information from the other side, so I couldn't finish the game, which just shows that there is no' ask the spirits'."

It is understood that there was a similar "Fuxi" in ancient China. In fact, many people have divination psychology to predict their future destiny. In the case of mental health, people think that this is just a game; When psychological barriers occur, they may accept hints, resulting in serious cognitive and behavioral deviations.

A questionnaire survey of the city's middle school students by the Municipal Association for Science and Technology shows that 85% of the students have lived their lives, and more than half of them believe in praying to God and worshiping Buddha. So how should we guide teenagers correctly? Zhang Shufang hopes that young people will get rid of superstition, believe in science, maintain a healthy and optimistic mental state and take control of their own destiny.
