Telepathy

Post Reply New Topic

I can actually "hear" some people think. I'd rather not but I do. It hurts my feelings a lot.
Does anyone think this has something to do with being on the autistic spectrum? Can it be some sort of protective measure? At work, one of my co-workers suspected this and put it to the test by humming songs and letting me guess the titles. At one point, he stood behind his cubicle and hummed the songs in his mind only. I guessed those too. BUT I can't hear everybody. Some I know. Some are complete strangers. Over the weekend, I stopped at a 711 store to pick up a newspaper and heard the cashier (a young man) think this: "You're not too bad for an old bag". I answered him and said, "48 hardly can be considered an old bag!"
I left the store and he stood there gaping at me. He forgot to collect the money for the paper and I just left out of embarrassment because this is the first time I put it to the test myself.
People think rude thoughts! More rude than good.

i am an atheist, and i think "telepathy" is a real possibility.

especially when observing animals. animals lacking our complex vocal language, and also our complex abstract thought, would only use such "language" to transmit very simple images.

for example, images of hills and trees, or maybe just a certain wish, for when lions prepare for an ambush. how do the lions decide who does what and when? roar it? "roar roar, roar roar. roar? roar!"

as with smell, hearing and sight, human senses are dulled down, and one of the most dulled, would be the "telepathic" one.

now, i say "telepathy" and not telepathy, cus telepathy includes the hundreds of thousands of egotrips who thinks their imagination is the result of telepathy. imho a FEW has a real ability, and its usually vague and difficult to pinpoint.

Most of what passes for apparent telepathy is a stage-magician's mind trick. The rest is either a blatant lie, a delusional fantasy, or a symptom of paranoid-schizophrenia.

Just what do these "voices" say?

I recently discovered, with the help of an online friend that when I am talking to, or chatting online with someone, that I am also sending the mental image that I am holding in my mind to the person while I am describing it to them, evidently telepathically. I would never have guessed that I do that, if not for an online friend who had normal vision her first two of life, but due to infection lost her eye sight, but in high school because of a surgical procedure she was able to recover limited vision. She told me that when she chats with me she gets to experience images that she would never be able to see with her own eyes.

The first time it became obvious that this was happening we were chatting on IM about the time of the last huricane that hit the Texas coast, and I was telling her that according to the Doppler image that I had seen on the tube that morning the storm had passed San Antonio and was about even with. . . and suddenly she said, "Its really green. I've always heard people say that the Doppler image was green, but I've never seen it." I asked her what she was talking about, and she said, "Eew, they didn't draw the squares right." I responded that if she was looking at a Doppler radar image, it's a county map and the counties in Texas are not all square. Then I asked her where she was seeing this, and she told me she wasn't. It just appeared in her mind's eye when I started telling her about it.

I am wondering now whether people, or many people who think in images transmit the image they are describing to the person while they are talking to them. I have observed that when I am talking to someone who thinks in words, I have great difficulty getting a mental image of what they are describing, but I have no trouble seeing in my mind's eye what is being described when the describer thinks in pictures. I had always assumed that this was because people who are visual give more visual descriptions, but perhaps that's not really the case.

I and one of my friends used to shock people that were convinced that we had telepathy. Without a warning he would cover an item, for example a clock. Then he would ask me, what he was covering. I told it was a clock. Then he would ask what time the clock was showing when he covered it. I could always tell.

I think that was all caused by my memory. I could "rewind" my memory to the point where he was not yet covering the object. Even though it had been in my peripheral vision, I could still recall it. Nobody else in the group could ever do that, because their memory just did not work that way.

Personally, I think a lot of the time we can pick up on what people are thinking simply because of the fact they are likely thinking what you would be thinking in that situation. But then again it's often a schizophrenic trait so the medical boffins obviously don't believe in actual telepathy.

I might, but I am not sure. I can at times tell what people are thinking, one such instance was when I was with my family and I was able to tell everything my mother was thinking in a little game where we would try to guess things like colours and stuff. I have also found myself at different times being able to get into others heads, like guessing movement in games or even predict other things, such as people coming when I am trying to sneak. Though I have found that when I try hard to do something I either have less results or I feel like I am getting an overload, get a headache, feel like I have little energy or I can start to focus too much and generaly becomes not much fun. So I usualy try to be aloof, not put a lot of thought into certain things and have fun, and doing such things often work out well for various situations, though I guess that I often put it down as good instincts as I am aweful at doing those shape guessing things and varias other psychic tests. But put me in front of someone and despite my often poor social skills as long as I can keep a level head I think I can kind of instinctly see thier thoughts.

I've discovered that often, when I approach a Y on a highway, and I am in the left lane or the right, and their is a car beside me in the lane that could go either way, that I can usually feel which direction the person is planning to go several yards before we reach the intersection. If the person intends to go to the right it feels like he is leaning to his right, and visa versa for a left turn. It doesn't work all the time, but more frequently than not.

I don't think people realise exactly how much information you can gather from other's based on their behaviour, expressions and body language.

praying is the aliens way of getting us ready for the way they communicate

telepathy has been hijacked by humans as prayer

well how come we are allowed to pray, and when god answers its called schizophrenia? in some certain compacity i do believe in prayer. ive prayed before and have had things, i asked for going my way. i never heard gods voice but once when i was overwhelmed, and prayed in dire measures i did "feel" something. now wether or not this was god i have no idea.

i just think, that it would not be impossible for "god" the alien to talk with his creation with telepathy

RightGalaxy,

I am not going to dismiss your claims because there is much of the world that we do not understand regardless of what science and personal opinion want to tell us.

I will say that I believe in "receiving" a person's thoughts, which I like to define as hearing the upper most register of an internal dialogue, something that happens because of psi sensitivity. At the same time, I don't believe in "reading" a person's mind (i.e., going through their thoughts to hear said thoughts) because private thoughts are just that: private.

It would be interesting to see if any other members of WP have telepathic or psychic experiences. Perhaps it's compensation for having AS or being on the spectrum? Of course, how to manage such a thread without negative feedback or outright lies, I don't know.

I believe in telepathy to a degree.

I don't consider myself to be telepathic.
But me and my RL friend often finish each others sentences, say what the other is thinking, or say something the other was going to say before they can say it.

(In my case, at least on my side of this, it can't be due to body language either. One, I can't read most body language. Two, I mostly don't look at people that often, and that includes times when these moments have happened.)

So I don't know if that's telepathy. But it's.... something.
