So I had what could of been a light psychic experience yesterday and I may have had a few in the past. I have this book called "You Are Psychic!" by Pete Sanders, I bought it like 4 years ago and I read through it every once in a while. It explains the psychic phenomena in a more normal/natural way, no tarot cards or any weird stuff, it just teaches you to trust your subtle feelings and hone in on your strong psychic sense, of which there are 4

Psychic Feelers - Can feel when something is wrong or right, these people can use feeling to make the best decisions or to sense emotions of others.

Audients - This is what I am, you hear things, sometimes it's music with a lyrical line that relates to your situation, sometimes it's voices or words, sometimes it's sounds you will hear in the future.

Visionaries - These people can get mental pictures in their head, they can often picture what people look like before they meet them etc

Intuits - Just know, you apparently just know something without being told or finding clues.

Forgive my spotty descriptions, I'm no expert in the subject and just trying to get the basics of the book out.

So on to my experience from yesterday, You be the judge of what this was if anything.

I was pulling out of the driveway and happened to catch a glimpse of the grass in the front yard, without really thinking logically about it I said, oh the Landlord is going to come cut the grass soon. So I went to the gas station to get some beer and was only gone about 5 - 10 minutes. When I got back there was landlord unloading the lawn mower from his truck. Can this be attributed to quick logical thinking or was I trusting a subtle psychic feeling?

Another experience from my past is a little bit better of an example. This was years ago back when I still lived with my Dad. I always used to load a bowl in my car in the driveway and then smoke it on the way to work. On this day it was like an hour before my Dad would usually get home from work. So I'm taking my time, cleaning seeds and stems from my reefer to load a bowl and then all of the sudden I hear my dads truck pulling in the driveway (an unmistakable sound of large dodge Ram tires on loose stone and I could hear the engine) and the sound seemed to come from the opposite way he always came home. I quickly turned around and threw my pipe in the center console, but to my surprise no one was there. I sighed and said holy shit what was that? Like 20 seconds later my Dad actually pulls in the driveway and from the opposite way he usually comes home. How fuckin weird is that!!

So what about you? Have you had an experience like this? What group do you think you belong too? Do you believe that humans possess basic psychic skills?

psychics don't exist.

everything has a rational scientific explanation that doesn't need to resort to superstitious nonsense.

science used to drill holes in peoples brains because they thought it would release the demons

it aint the end all be all its just the best we can do at that current point

not implying psychics exist just that i wouldnt outright say 100% that anything does or doesnt exist until i had direct proof

in fact just assuming something doesnt exist without proof is a direct contradiction of the scientific method itself

unless you can prove right now to us that you are correct of course in which case do it

i'll bet in the future humanity evolves some kind of psychic ability and then they will look back at us and our primitive ways and laugh

I agree with you, there is no such thing as the super natural, only the natural world. But we don't understand all of the natural world. I tried to say that this book is not the normal traditional psychic book, it shows that humans possibly do have slight capabilities, how they work or if they work is unknown but it seems like there could be something to the idea.

Deadhead I'd be interested on your view of how we even exist, since that seems to go against the laws of our universe. Perhaps there is real phenomena out there that we simply do not understand.

If it exists, why hasn't anyone ever demonstrated the ability for the benefit of scientific study? There was a $1 million prize up for grabs for the longest time to anyone who could demonstrate paranormal ability in a controlled setting.

The sheer absence of concrete evidence combined with the extreme anomaly of Human greed not exploiting it for profit says it doesn't exist.

one day we were all single celled organisms being swept around in the ocean

then we grew legs and started walking

one day we were all apes who couldnt communicate at all

and then we started talking

etc

who the fuck knows what will be possible in the future based on technology and evolution of the biological organism that we are?

im saying it might exist but we dont know how to do it.

like flying

if there were no flying animals, you would be saying the same exact thing about the ability to fly. but since they evolved that ability, it exists.

then we made planes and we evolved that ability ourselves, see?

just because we currently cant do it doesnt mean that it doesnt exist as a phenomena.

If that is the case, if we can't do it now, we never will.

im really skeptical of humans who claim that ability. i really do think its like a next stage of evolution and our physical bodies arent equipped with that ability.

unless all physical beings are somehow built-in with that ability and we havent learned how to use or activate it. the idea that we have to evolve some kind of physical faculty maybe in our brains to actually engage telepathy makes more sense to me than the idea that there are just some freaks of nature that exist that can randomly do it.

but then again the entire theory of evolution is based on random freaks of nature occuring and the subsequent generations of that organism adopting that random attribute.

so its entirely possible. anyone who says its not is just talking out their ass. ask them to prove it.

to me telepathy is entirely possible and its just waiting on the right organism in the right environment to come along to evolve that ability. like any other ability.

That isn't the subject. The subject is Human psychics, which don't exist.

Quantum entanglement means the idea of it existing in some form can't be discounted.

But this species is not capable.

So, for the purposes of this argument, psychics do not exist.

I believe that all info is locked up (figuratively speaking) somewhere. Maybe our feeble human minds cant access this knowledge yet because we do not understand it exists or how it can be accessed. Maybe we do have an ability to access this info at certain times when the circumstances are right. That doesn't mean we have the ability mastered or even fully realized, maybe certain humans have stumbled on something which we can build on and eventually figure out.

I bring up a related subject: Remote Viewing, I believe this is evidence of being able to access universal knowledge. Apparently the U.S. government felt it was worth studying, lookup project Stargate.

I have the feeling that all information exists. Everything that has, could, will happen exists. We perceive but a tiny portion, through a medium our brains describe as time and space, of this whole.


Anyway, I most certainly believe in 'psychic' connections, having had a couple first hand experiences with it myself.

The story I will tell is me lying next to my ex girlfriend, my baby's mom. Lying together in a hotel room in amsterdam, I'm on mushrooms and I put my hand on her side and suddenly I get this really intense vision of a baby in a womb. I knew that second without a shadow of a doubt that she was pregnant.

It was crazy, like there was no question about it, I somehow just knew at that instant.

And sure enough, one pregnancy test later...




How did I know this?
The subtleties of our senses go beyond our abilities to describe. Who knows what sort of thing I was picking up on that told me. It could have been her very scent, triggering some instinctual faculty in my mind that knows that 'this smell means this chick be pregnant.' It could be the thoughts of my unborn daughter coming from her... I mean we don't understand what constitutes consciousness, we don't understand what constitutes a thought.

Perhaps there is some medium we don't yet understand in which thoughts and ideas are stored and shared across distances, and perhaps without even knowing it, we can access that medium.




First tell me what consciousness is, THEN tell me psychics don't exist.

I've had a shit ton of psychic experiences but I think I'm just intuitive.

Like I got this one buddy who I've pulled random names out of his head several times when he starts to tell a story and blanks out. Not even using context clues, it's often the first element of the story kinda like "you know who I saw today?" then I answer it flawlessly. It's happened plenty of times.

Other than that I've always been good at knowing the answers to things I probably shouldn't know. Again I think it's more of a subliminal intuition but I've been sick at tests and jeopardy since I learned to speak.

But I'm not gay so I don't think I'm professor X.

Presumably because you had at one point preceding this vision, fucked her and weren't as careful as you could be. It was a 50/50 chance. She either was or wasn't.

Human parthenogenesis has never been documented.



a child could do the math on that one.
