ESP perception

[Terra]

Just a poll to see if there is anything worth studying here. ESP in the scientific world has been said to be caused by an unusual makeup of the brain. I guess that anyone here on this board probably fits in this category, so lets see what there is. Thanks to Wishy for putting the idea in my head.

Oh, and yes, I frequently do get experiences.

So do I.

When I go with the suggestion things usually turn out a bit better: like having this 'sense' that it would be better to not go a regular way and go another for instance. I sometimes ignore those and find heay traffic tie-ups. I follow them The intuitive suggestions that is) and zip along unimpeded. There have been lotsa times when the traffic report then tells me that such and such a place has had a wreck and the wait times are like 45 minutes.

I try to follow my feelings. Is that ESP? I dunno, sometimes I wonder if we aren't more capable than we believe in 'picking' data from just being open to the world around us and making our choices based on those intuitive 'feelings.' I suppose that IS ESP, though.

Nice poll, Rachel.

Not telepathy, but a healthy dose of precognitive dreaming every now and again. I used to keep a dream diary as a child and was able to recall my dreams much more readily, which is probably the only reason it seems I have fewer such experiences nowadays. I've also recently started listening to my intuition again after years of bludgeoning it over the head with reasoning and logic, and find that it is getting sharper and sharper all the time. It will often guide me in ways similar to what Nichole is describing, on everything from 'run, the bus is coming' to 'don't buy that pack of apples, it's off'.

Exactly, Simone.

And I also find it helpful in the work I do. Of course, with the work, is that due to just learning to sensitize myself to what and how others say things or to intuitive sensing of what another 'feels?'

Admittedly the brain gives signals that the mind is not trained to understand. Déjà vu is a chemical echo that seems real. The subconscious acts without the mind being aware. Our imagination sometimes creates reasons for what it observes and stores them as beliefs. But things need to be verified in the physical world by another observer to considered a fact, when both or many have the same experience about the same observation.

maybe it's women's intuition, ladies.

Actually, mine is somewhere between "sometimes" and "constantly" --  I've had it all my life, though as a kid it was more latent...  I'd probably experience it more if I took time to practice...
