Did you have special gifts as a child??, page 2

what's the point of that???

you dont' believe my word in the original post, but you'll believe it now?

I'll try my best to test this battery thing for you since you've peaked my curiousity too. Like I said I honestly never thought of "testing" this in anyway.

If you insist...

I wouldn't call it a "gift" or a "power" - and would hate ANYONE calling it that - but I could sense events in my immediate future that had not yet happened (obviously!) in my time-line. (The feeling was that of absolute KNOWLEDGE, not just a vague presentiment.)

I could also deflect at will any teacher's intention of calling me during class (to test and grade my knowledge). I think many people are familiar with this practice of making oneself "invisible" to the teacher...

And there were other things, too - but it would take too much time and effort to accurately describe them - and I'd rather wait for a different opportunity, in a different context. (Or not discuss them at all.)

Seeing the aura of people, seeing angels, knowing things from the past without you even learned it, sensing evil can be considered as a gift, right? Somehow these gifts are still with me. And I'm glad for it.

Interesting thread, I'm glad people are participating, some of this is fascinating. I'm particularly intrigued by the notion that merely mentioning or talking to a parent about these abilities makes them go away. What is that all about?

My theory is that the exchange in this situation creates an emotional response that releases an unpleasant endorphin. Perhaps a feeling of shame and/or fear, in seeing their parents (typically negative) responses to what they're saying causes the brain to "shut down" those abilities?

Another theory is that vaccinations that society forces on our young does it for them.

I didn't have any particular "abilities" as a child, but I do remember something I used to spend time doing in my room. I remember trying to tell my mother about it, around age 5, and I know I couldn't have been very articulate (because I know I'm going to have a hard time describing it to you now). Either way, she told me not to, and I must say, I can't really remember ever doing it again.

What I'm going to attempt to describe, I used to think of as "making earthquakes". I would lay in my bed and stare at the wall or ceiling, and I suppose I was putting myself in a trance of some kind, only it would happen within seconds. Suddenly, what I'll describe as my "point of view" would "bounce" back and forth from where I was laying to within centimeters of the wall or ceiling I was staring at. Really fast like... Think of holding a sheet of tin and wiggling it so that it bows back and forth rapidly. I would feel that sensation, and my POV would change correspondingly. I don't know what this was, and I've tried to describe it to people - with no luck, not surprisingly.

I'm all over the place here, but I was also interested in hearing descriptions of the being(s) you conjured as a kid, Saint. Can you remember what they were like?

In terms of "experimentation": one aspect of conducting an experiment is that you have a "control" -- in this case, you have your husband's cell and Ipod. But you have to consider one major variable: how often does he use these things as compared to you? If you listen to music more and use your cell more, then they would of course run out of juice faster. Also, camera batteries: if you can get another camera of the same model, and let your husband use that one but take the SAME amount of pics with it, then see if there is a difference in how fast the batteries are used up, then it might seem significant.

Worldwatcher I was wondering if you have problems with your gold or silver jewelry tarnishing after only a couple of hours or days of wearing it. I realize it's off topic but I wanted to know since we seem to have this 'battery/electro' thing in common. If it's linked in some way to the effect we have on our electronics? I stopped wearing watches all together because it basically became an unending battle of weekly battery replacements and tarnished metal. I always just thought it was my skin having an allergic reaction to metal. There are some days I can wear my favorite necklace and it be ok but come the next day it's turned a bronze hue and I'm shocking people more than usual. It's been the same since I was a kid.


I on the other hand haven't gotten my tester yet, but when I make time I'll get back to this thread at a later date.

More or less when my moods are 'heightened' somewhat.

I find that when I'm 'ticked off' or 'wary' or 'scared'...crap starts up - lights flicker/pop/don't want to go on.

When I'm happy, everythings works normally; sometimes things glow.

I was explaining this in another thread (be damned if I can find it now), and I went on to explain about when I was falling asleep, the tv channel would change up. Hubby thought I was 'laying on the clicker' or 'bumped it' but then it started to freak him out when he decided to hold the dear ol channel changer beside him one nite, and sho nuff....the channels were flicking around. Happens the odd time, when I pull a snooze on the coach. I wake up when I hear the channels going nuts like that, snd curse his ever-loving hide over it. lololol
