It's just something that happens in a flash, you know? I am sure animals experience similar. Humans are cut off from that part of the mind that connects us to instinct but it seeps through now and again.

Now why would you think someone would know the answer to this particular question? It is so inconsequential to the greater whole. Psychic sensitivity is saved for the big events. Anyone who claims they can read car mileages is bogus. The thing is, when one says they are psychic, they are not implying they can tell you the mileage on your car. You are the one that presumes it.


OK
I was kinda pullin' her chain.

But,not to be beliigerant, how is this supposed to work?

I post -say-the Gettysburg Address- and then she studies my post for my vibes?

Or what?

I compare it to animals and the way they think. They have way more psychic experiences than humans because they are more connected to primitive states of mind. I see psychic ability is more primitive because it's using information taken in by the senses to form an idea in the mind. Animals can do this. We call it "instinct." The primitive states of mind are only primitive in name alone. They can be much more advanced than anything rational and provide flashes of knowledge otherwise unknown.
It's sensations basically and I find it to be quite random. To me it's not overly developed and I never claimed it to be. People have expectations that are too high. So far, no one can get everything correct one hundred percent of the time but it's fun to explore these ideas and feelings. It should be about fun and discovery so if you really don't like it, why even bother with it? Why argue with people who like it?

If you ever have a moment where you are still and a random thought pops into your head for no apparent reason, or you think of a song and it gets stuck in your thinking and you have no idea why, maybe there is a reason and you just don't know what it is. Maybe it is connected to an event that is coming up that you don't know about and your senses are picking up on it somehow and this is how they are communicating to your CNS. This appears in your mind. This is sorta how it works.

I'm just experimenting here, not proclaiming that I'm a psychic. Something about doing this and trying to just prove something seems weird so how about you ask me a question that you really need some help with. It seems like messages come through more when there is a state of urgency with emotions, or exigency.

I can tell you this though, thinking that you are smarter or better than others sets you up to fall eventually so its more productive to work together and be humble with an open mind in whatever field you are working in. If you get on people's nerves, no matter how great you are, their curses will downcast you more than your genius could ever bless you.


Too vague.

No one said it would be crystal clear. Is anything ever clear is the question or can we only see a fragment of the entire picture? We are limited by our senses. Perhaps, at certain times, our senses let us realize more than at others? It won't be all or nothing.

LIfe is full of uncertainty. What I tell you now as truth may not be true in 50 years. It doesn't mean that I am lying though. What in life is certain except for change. How long in our history on earth has any species known anything for certain? We know when a tornado is about to hit but i can't tell you when one will hit in 10 years and neither can any animal although it does seem magical when they instinctively know these things.

If you go through life looking for proof and certainty, you will be filled with worry. I don't know how anyone can function like that. You go with the flow. Maybe there are some people who can get specific numbers and such. I've had that happen a few times in life and it was never when i tried to do a parlor trick. It was random and spontaneous and came with a strong emotion attached to it.

Whoever is really interested in truth and figuring stuff out won't let their biases cloud their judgment. It's really not an aspie trait I hope. I'm a very curious and experimental person by nature, always looking to do it better and asking questions. I don't ignore the obvious either.

How do you make decisions in life if you don't have proof. There are a number of factors that go into it and sometimes you wind up wrong. What I want to figure out is how to hone this sense and get it right.

The last time it was supposed to snow we got ice instead even though all the weather channels, men and women, the experts with all their technology, money and science swore it would snow about five inches. The day before it happened I knew it would be winter mix and ice, not snow, and I have nothing but intuition. I have no science, no grants, no expertise, nothing, yet I knew what they did not based on intuition alone. Sure enough, it was mostly ice and winter mix, very little snow. It goes to show that intuition can be real and correct.

It is real. I even posted on my FB status the night before when the weather people were all chanting "snow" in unison that it better not ice and that it would ice instead of snow. See, I wanted snow as much as all of them but had my doubts. All I could see was this winter mix all over eveything. Sure enough, that's what happened.

I have no access to your personal mind and past experiences, so I can't really tell whether what you say here is entirely true. For all I know, you could be exaggerating certain details in this story of yours, and I honestly suspect you are.

If you want to convince people that this phenomenon you speak of is real, then do something really amazing now and foretell what my day will be like for the next two days ... with specific details that only I could be aware of here. No vagueness of any sort.

I am NOT exaggerating. This is just one example of many. Why is it so hard to accept that humans are just as capable as other species? We do not exist in a vacuum. Being able to discern is crucial to our success.

And what species on earth can do what you ask? You are the one who is exaggerating. I am not. I am stating clearly the capabilities. They do not include a detailed, step by step analysis of the future.

Maybe you're exaggerating about all the weather people predicting snow at all costs. I highly doubt they all predicted the same thing. Conflicting and inconsistent predictions often happen in the world of meteorology.

To me, it seems you were implicitly claiming you had something spiritual that gave you enough insight to make certain predictions about the future.

If by "intuition", you just mean a better but still natural tendency to spot things in nature that help to predict certain things right, then it's not really spiritual or supernatural.

Oh believe me, I am not. Lots of people were frustrated at their inaccuracies. It did snow just NOT where they said and I knew it would ice up here before it did and apparently before they did. The night before. The weather people were all saying it would snow in the exact spot I am located. They said it would be a big snow producer blah blah blah. Just on and on hyping the snow. What a disappointment! They said it would not be an event that contained mostly ice which is exactly what it was. Keep in mind, I am not one who hopes for ice. I would rather it snow and never ice up. I can bet it will ice or rain when they all cry "snow" though. I learn to expect the opposite of what they say.

Unfortunately, all I can go by here is what you say happened, and that is not good enough for me.
