Most likAutomatic writing is the process or method of writing material that does not come from the conscious or deliberate thoughts of the writer. The writer's hand forms the message, and the person is unaware of what will be written. This form of writing is often performed while in a trance state. Other times the writer is aware of his or her immediate surroundings but not of the actions of their writing hand or the messages being written.

Automatic writing is often used in Spiritualists as a form of psychic channelling. One of the best-known and perhaps most incredible automatic writers was H?l?ne Smith, an early 20th-century psychic who felt that her automatic writing was the attempt of extra-terrestrials to communicate with the people of Earth. She claimed she could translate their language into French.

Automatic writing is essentially writing that is done in an altered state of consciousness that is attributed to spirits of the dead. It is believed by some that the spirits literally manipulate the writing utensil in the hands of the medium to communicate, as the writer is often unaware of what is being written and often even scrawls out text in handwriting that is markedly different than his own.

Others believe that perhaps the spirits may also communicate by forming messages in the mind of the medium, which reproduce on the page. Most likely though, the medium is writing unconsciously and messages are formed from material in the subconscious mind or from a secondary personality that is gifted with extrasensory perception. This same explanation may apply to messages received by ouija boards as well.

The notion of subconscious communication was popular with many well known modern artists and was used as a method for creating original artwork. Artists such as Jackson Pollock and Salvador Dali utilized automatic painting techniques in their works.
