Dude. Everyone here is feeling something unexplainable.
How in the world do you know it's the same thing? You're right about one thing.
All of you are saying "we feel it, you don't - guess you'll never know!" When you don't even know the person that you're apparently sharing the same feelings with.

If you surmise everyone on this thread is a moron that thinks they have have special powers, why even waste time to chastise? Are you bored? Lonely? Afraid? ...Envious?
These Feelings are Subtle. That is why everyone describes it a little differently. The "currents" that we pick up on can only be tapped into when you're sensitive enough and at the right impass in your life to appreciate them. Why throw pearls before swine?...
Just as a scientist needs an electron microscope to see our microcosm, so we our "hearts" for the macrocosm.
I and many others never claimed to have "super powers".. Yet the majority of us have noticed or had things happen to us that are unexplainable -- that "small still voice" that echoes throughout our soul is what guides us to our answers or what makes us feel "different"... It helps us deduce that these aren't just stresses from our day to day lives, they are something More.
I ignored these concepts and feelings for so long until it snuck up on me in the form of a very bad accident. Many things have revealed themselves to me since then... Up until that point I was an atheist who believed in science and mocked the idea of faith.
Now it is Faith the drives me forward.
All the Best to You. Open your mind in earnest and all will be revealed.

If you want to feel it, all you need to to is open your eyes to what is happening around the world, and seek deep within your heart if this is how life should be or it can be made better.
If the answer is the latter, then your personal journey of discovery will begin as it did for many on this thread and in the real world, for that consciousness lays within all humans......

Ok man, So your telling me im not feeling #, even if the dude made this # up. its kinda funny how this many people share the same thing. honestly I cant explan why or what made me post, its felt like I had to. I honestly dont really care if you feel the way you do towards this. I jus so happen to feel what the OP described. So are you telling me what im feeling is in my mind or that im just a follower?

Perhaps this example may come of some use in explaining the feeling.
We all know what it feels like to be horny/sexually aroused. How well can you describe that feeling (please dont)? Do you think other people feel it exactly like you do? Did you know what that feeling was like when you were prepubescent?
A prepubescent can be told that adults get horny, he can read all about it, what it must be like, etc. He can be confused about why male A and male B describe it in different terms, and how it may be completely different from females A&B. No doubt he will be confused, he will not know and understand it until he is horny himself. There is no point in describing what it is like to because words cannot adequately describe a feeling.

Describe an emotion. Any emotion.
Ask someone else to describe that emotion. You might have two descriptions that are similar, because we use the same language, vocab..etc..
But the feeling itself, the experience is different. If he's feeling something unexplainable that he can't explain, yet he tries to explain it anyway, how can you say your feeling is the same? I'm not telling you you're feeling "#". I'm telling you that what you're feeling is unique, and individual. It's not uncommon for people to come together to want peace.
I'm telling you that by saying blindly "we all feel the same" you're becoming a follower, blindly being led. You don't know what he's feeling alright? All you know is what you're feeling, and even that you can't explain you can only experience. What you're trying to say here is that your experience and his experience are the same. That my friend, is not happening. Look at every case posted on this thread individually.. If you don't find everyone reporting the EXACT SAME THING, where do you make the baseless assumption you're experiencing the same thing?
If say, a person died in the family, everyone goes to the funeral. Everyone at this funeral feels something, sorrow, but in their OWN perspective. It's all sorrow, but individual and unique to the person being examined. Same thing for happiness, love, any emotion. It's all perspective.
Now I can imagine it to be plausible if all the individuals in question were FREE from ego. The ego clearly exists for the people in question, therefore different persona's and masks exist. Consider the ego to be a lens, you can't be "One" when you observe everything subjectively.edit on 27-4-2011 by TheDarkestHour because: (no reason given)
