DWQA QuestionsCategory: Non-Local ConsciousnessWere the accusations of cheating made against professional bridge player Lotan Fisher and his partner, truly valid, and which were recounted in the documentary, Dirty Tricks? Was there another explanation for the “improbable” moves that gave them a victory in some of their bridge tournaments? Could that have been a mutual intuitive awareness of the partners, who had been playing as a team since childhood?

Your hypothesis is correct and agrees with his own assessment, that there is something perceived intuitively that explains the unlikely choices made at certain points in tournament play, where normal expert bridge players would never do what they did but it turned out to be, fortuitously, a very favorable choice, and that is what has disturbed other players, assuming everyone must go by the mathematics and anything that departs is suspicious at best, and certainly looks like chicanery, too good to be true. But, as you know from personal experience with your high degree of intuition, it is not unusual for intuitives to do the unlikely and improbable quite often, because you are seeing truth and that is independent of likelihood or probability. And that is the case with this bridge player and his partner. It is exactly as you say, they have spent so many hours for so many years as a team playing cards, their minds are intertwined to a certain degree and there can be intuitive impressions being shared without conscious awareness, as it just seems like a thought of their own, an idea. These things are not always followed, but when they are, most likely will turn out to be insightful and a beneficial choice. We see this as not breaking any rules, they are simply using their natural gifts in a natural way and not wanting to take advantage of anyone by going around any regulations or flaunting rules. They are not aware of it when it happens because it is so very subtle. So we see this as just another kind of talent they enjoy, like his highly developed mathematical perceptions and exceptional memory that sets him apart from many other bridge players. He is just better as an all-round player in addition to his intuitive gifts. So this criticism is ill-founded and basically sour grapes of individuals acting through self‑interest of their own, and who are ignorant of the reality of nonlocal consciousness and what it can do as an asset in many settings.
