I'm glad I've found you--thanks. Sending smilies your way.

It takes one to know one, so lets find others.

All I know is there are a lot of fearful, hateful, narrow-minded people out there who need to be offset. I can't afford to be any of those things. I have seen them from the inside; I've seen our society our streets from the inside. It's ugly. How did we get here?

It's a rhetorical question really but one worth considering. Also, and of more immediate consequence: how do we make it better?

This seems to be what my girlfriend thinks, she is the eternal skeptic--although, she does admit that we made non-verbal contact 800 miles apart once. What do you think? Are telepathic individuals just crazies talking to themselves?

are you sure she/you don't actually mean "multiple personality disorder" whereas the perceived "voice" that the telepathic claims to be receiving, is that of a separate personality of theirs interacting with another?

maybe she should get down to the nitty gritty as to which exactpersonality disorder you're distinctly trying to pair to the perceived phenomena of telepathy.


another thing... would not the next step of biologically integrating what we know as "bluetooth" headsets into the brain.. or activating specific areas of the brain that can accomplish such a (fundamentally basic) scientific principle as receiving specific patterns in the electromagnetic radiation in a coherent method as to make sense of them, be exactly what we describe as "telepathic" ?

doesn't seem like such a difficult concept to fathom.
whether the "wiring" is already there.. and is just "activated" in "telepaths"..
or the "wiring" has yet to be implemented.. it wouldn't be that big of a jump from what we see with people talking on their bluetooth headsets.

another thing..

( and this isnt directed at the OP )

but the more and more that technology advances... and the more and more physics theories become more and more expansive..

the further and further skeptics have to reach to disprove phenomena that's been observed for decades


it's going to come to a point eventually...
where skeptics are the ones that are considered insane because of their far reaching wrap-around explanations for things that will be able to be explained in full detail with the new discoveries and inventions coming to fruition.

it's all going to come down to a bunch of old men completely blind to reality, and covering their ears and eyes to the truth unfolding around them... screaming "no no no!! it CAN'T EXIST.!!! I CAN'T be WRONG!!!"
all to the entertainment of all.

we can then put skeptics of reality in zoos and watch them drag around their theories of debunkery in mild yet empathetic amusement.

Your awareness shifts into other things besides yourself.

Yes.
And then you realise they are not besides yourself.
That everything is one and the same, live and active, substance.

What follows is somewhat off-topic, but I hope to be excused, as some might find it worthy of reading nevertheless.

Somebody mentioned - about you, I think - that it can be difficult or even next-to-impossible to "tune out" of other people's thoughts.

I have the same experience. Only, I always called them "vibrations" myself (although in the past few years I have come to detest the term, because it's so overused).
That's because people in conversation don't usually articulate their thoughts in their mind beforehand but as they are coming out of their mouths. :-)

More importantly, they are not really talking to YOU, but rather to the more or less stable image they have of you. They relate to the vibrations of that image. And however false or off that image of you may be, in time you learn to handle the patterns of thought and verbal exchange that arise from it in each individual case (one friend's image of you - and the corresponding interaction - is not identical to your image in another friend's mind)

Perceiving those "vibrations" is not something I strive to do; I just feel them, in a para-physical way.
And usually it's not a problem at all. After all, I've always had that ability (if that's the right word).

But there were situations when I had to give answers to precise questions, by people I did not know (so I wasn't used to handling their individual "vibrations"), in public.
The questions were of a personal nature - nothing potentially embarrassing, just personal - but my mind was so overwhelmed by the foreign image of me and the corresponding thoughts they were unwittingly pressing onto me that it blocked the train of my thoughts. It happened EVERY SINGLE TIME.

So I just looked away and lied.
(And now I avoid such situations altogether.)

Was having an off day. So the Cow thought.

I should of asked him what they call you guys with no legs, ground beef.

Aw, thats just what cows do. They stand in groups looking at you like you are a complete a-hole. It's why they get tipped.

I was with you to a point, but I really lost you with this last paragraph. Are you saying that their thought patterns made you so uncomfortable that you lied to protect yourself? Why are strangers getting personal with you like that, anyway? That may not be relevant to what you are saying...

Is telepathy undiagnosed schizophrenia?

I will give you my take on this. In telepathy, there is a "sender" and a "receiver"- You could be both but generaly speaking, some people are better at one than the other.

Every day without fail, i will think of someone and call them. They always say wow, i was just thinking about you. It happens with everyone, its as if i know, like a message being sent and I suddenly receive it. I call myself a receiver, i cant send anything to anyone, but i receive.

People actually get ^sp00ked^

If no one sends me any alarms, i wont call at all.

I dont beleive in coincidences.

If someone can publish a book showing a methodical and full understanding of how mass consciousness work and how to use it, that person is my hero.

I've had psychic "flares" before where more psychic events happen to me than normal, but I can never seem to sustain them. That's why I want someone to explain the whole thing. And give instructions. It's hard to do when you don't even know what you're doing when you're doing it .
