Psychic Abilitys

Post Reply New Topic

I believe in it, and I've tried a number of times and felt I was almost there, but something was holding me back... I just need to get over that hurdle. I think seeing energy fields ('auras') helps a lot... they seem to grow the more you focus on an object.

I won't say these phenomena don't exist; I've never witnessed anything convincing of the sort, and I'm unaware of credible data that supports their authenticity.

Not unimportant though: "magical thinking" (where belief trumps reality) is a primary symptom of schizotypal personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and psychosis.

Okay.

I have the occasional prophetic dream, and it happens.

I dreamed of 9/11 three nights before it happened, then it happened.

Made me wonder if I was supposed to do something about it.

Spooky huh?

I have had two premonitions....

I would not however, call myself psychic just because of that.

I believe in them, I do believe I posess them. I've seen ghosts and the like. I also have had pregognative dreams and vision. Many times crossed over people come to me in my dream and give me messages for their love ones. I feel like John Edward sometimes. But you can get used to anything I suppose.

This cute guy will teach you how to start out with telekenisis - fun to watch - too bad he was under the weather - but still cute -

Just to add to what he was doing there - the reason he was *missing* the hit was because you have to get the angle. Everything has an outer rim - every shape has one - so it's right there that you have to concentrate on its movement, I like to work with 3-d objects - and work with heavier materials. Personally haven't tried the paper - but looks easy enough. Try for yourselves.

Interesting that out of the millions of people on earth who possess psychic abilities no body has taken the challenge. Well that may have to do with not even KNOWING about it. Till you posted it - i had no idea.

Anyway - just the word debunker gives me the creeps - first show me the money. Then we'll talk - you know?

I would love to take it. LOL! My ability isn't something I can control. It happens to me, unfortunatley, I don't happen to it.

I'm suppose to be psychic, in fact, very psychic. I myself am very skeptical that psychic abilities are what people say they are. I don't doubt some people confuse coincidence and chance to their own alledged "abilities." it's funny how people always seem so eager to decieve themselves, especially if they're tying to ascribe "special powers" to themselves.

I say I'm suppose to be psychic because I've been tested twice, once in a psychology study when I was in college, and at a later time by a parapsychology expert (who also had a master's degree in psychology). In both tests, which were quite different, I rated very high for clairvoyance, although each test defined clairvoyance a little differently. So I have my doubts about those results. I also rated high in other forms of ESP in both tests, but clairvoyance was said to be my strongest. Those results intrigue me, but I wouldn't put much stock into them. I mean, supposedly, according to one of these test, I'm "clairaudient." But how do you qualitify that ability? How do they know it's not just a combination of my synesthesia, eidetic memory and hyper fast deduction skills? In that case it's not so much me having "paranormal" perception of sounds, but a neurological advantage that I've intuitively learned to use since childhood by ordinary trial and error.

In some cases, like how I'm able to tell you some curiously detailed personal things about someone by only hearing a recording of their voice or them playing music - there is a strong intuitive part, but I am also aware that I do also go through a very brief and fast process of deduction that is unobservable and difficult for me to articulate to someone else. Another "amazing" thing I can do is called "clairsentience" - I can touch someone or something and "know" things about them I seeingly wouldn't know otherwise (paranoid people probably shouldn't shake hands with me ). I've also had several prophetic visions and dreams that have come to pass, and I have had many lucid dreams, sometimes where I learn something that I can later verify to be true. When I was younger it did seem like magic but I'm older and less guillable, and nor do I wish to be "special" in that way. So it's easier for me now to set my ego aside and say that while these things make for a neat "party trick," none of it is as paranormal as it may seem.

I also know, because I do have certain gifts that can be mistaken for paranormal abilties, how that "Oh wow, you're psychic!" reaction plays on a person's ego. I've caught myself wording my supposedly psychic reactions to be more vague and general yet sound convincingly "on target" and have learned how easy it is to fool people that way. Seriously, many people simply want to believe you, even if you're way off, and they'll unconsiously bend over backwards to let you be right. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. But the desire of the power that has on people, to power to amaze and dazzle, is very seductive, and I recognize that desire in pretty much every person I've met who claims to be psychic. (Another trick these frauds use to convince people is sheer passion - how intensely they believe in it sometimes convinces others too.)

Most of my supposedly psychic experinces I believe can be explained in more mundane ways. Some are definitely weirder and perhaps more impressive than others, and a little harder to explain. But I'm sure there's rational, non-paranormal explanations for all of it. I believe a lot will eventually be shown to be nothing more than mental perspective, suggestion and cognitive biases that color one's perceptions, both in the mind of the "psychic" and in the minds of the people who believe them.

don't you think that the gifts are given to be used? like on purpose for the greater good? ever think about that...? what if we're all given specific gifts to help move consciousnessness to a higher space and place - and these are the tools that can actually help accomplish that...?
