Psycic ability

I predict that everyone will die. Im right?!?!

i think it may be just a weird brain function and that its sorta like a code breaker. the brain keeps going through possibilities until it finally gets one.

That was a tad stupid but I think it is possible to cheat death. Not anything to do with "physic ability" I just think there is something we haven't discovered, something big.

Well, anyways lots of people on commercials say, "Call us and we will tell your future!" or "Listen what I say and it'll happen!" And it's $4.50 dollars a minute! OMG to much. It's pure business, they want lots of cash. I don't believe in telekineses. Viper is right!

there are a lot of stupid people in this world.

I beleive its possible on a level. You will NEVER be able to read a persons exact thoughts. But I can tell you of hundreds of experiences of simular things. I like to refer to them as "Brain waves".
After you get to know a person, not a a simple level, but on an intelligent and seintient level. Eventually, you will occasionally experience the following:
A simple thought occurs to you. Casually, you mention your thought to the other person,. Then they say that they just had the same thought. I have had this happen in both directions. receiving and sending. The more intelligent a person, the stronger the brain waves. For instance, my grandpa, who is basically a matured version of me, sends incredibly strong bain waves. Bu only to me. I can practically read his thoughts. This can allow him to teach me things at an alarming rate and depth.

The frequency on things like this changes. You might have a lot of them in a week or month, but then nothing at all for several weeks/months. Sometimes I will dream of a place. A place that seems to reach into the very being of me. It touches the emotions within my and many levels of thought. It's as if I was ment for this place.
Then, the next day or two, I will find myself at this place. Not planned, not willingly. It happens. Now THATS creepy. The same thing happens with people.

When I have more brain wave experinces, I also have more of these *predictions*. Sometimes the predictions are stong feelings which happen several moments before it actually happens. Pretty cool.

I definitely beleive that the human mind has much more potential than we realize. But because of harmful demons, e.g "Angels gone wrong", our minds are open to them when we get too deep into meditation. So, we have to be careful. So we have to wait until God casts them into abyss, and eventually destroys them completely.

Im a Jehovah's witness. Anyone, feel free to ask any questions at all. Oh yeah, and not many Jrhovah's witnesses beleive in brain waves Of course, they probably just never experinced it.

Brain waves dont happen when your in a festive mood. It only happens when you are serious, on a deep level of mental function. No music going through your head. You shouldent even be able to hear your own voice inside your head. Just think, with no thought "sound"

Okay, I'm done.

Sylvia Brown is on Montel every Wednesday. They say she's pretty good as far as intuition goes. Even the supposid psycic doesn't guarentee they're right and they always say that things can change but'this is how I see it now.'

I believe there is such power but there are also some people who set up shops and they're just weird, spooky and taking advantage of gullible people but it takes all kinds.

I don't think it is. It is seen as impossible. I think people in the end choose to die therefore don't ever cheat death. Its not something many ppl have tried.

Summary:
Since I know long posts don't look attractive, I explain in the following my views on the problems with cheating death, the possibility and proof of psychic ability, and the hot-line scam-tards that screw everything up.

First of all, cheating death is a matter of keeping yourself healthy enough to be able to constantly regenerate body cells at a constant rate. If this is even marginally possible, and I believe anything might be possible, it would be extremely delicate and far too advanced for our current technological developments. There's the problem of your brain. Brain cells, as far as we all know, don't (readily) regenerate. Memory is not unlimited. Mental health may be affected. That's all I have to say.

It's true, average people only use 10 to 15 percent of their minds. (And no, you're most likely not above average, just full of yourself.) 85% is a big number. Many studies have been done throughout history, successfully, proving that theres something to the brain that is very unusual, but just possible enough to be true. I believe brain waves can be affected by outside interference, such as other brain waves, or artificial brain waves. I've tried a brain wave generator program that uses stereo sound to generate waves that the brain interprets as frequencies in the 2-10 hertz range, the range on which brains function. Many people I chatted to have claimed this works, though I couldn't feel anything unusual. It affected different people differently, but I did not hear one person claim it was a bunch of hoo-haw. If you're curious, the program's name is BrainWave Generator. (or BWGen for short, there are cracks for it if you don't want to register.)

Some people have learned to use their brains and brain waves to a much greater potential. An example off the top of my head is monks who can generate enough body heat in meditation to dry a cold, wet towel. Many other examples can be found on your local Discovery channel. They all seem to be true, you don't see too many people going around saying "NO THATS IMPOSSIBLE," and it does seem to make sense.

Now of course somebody is going to think of something that makes it wrong. I don't know. The media may be fooling us, the monks may be fooling us, your diety of choice may be fooling us. Some people believe we are in a simulated universe run by higher beings, which we came to know as gods. Before you scoff at it, think about it, they believe it because it makes sense to them, not because they're total gullible idiots.

I guess I'm saying I believe this stuff, to an extent. But as with international disasters, war, poverty, pleasure, and anything else that gets people's attention, there are going to be people trying to scam others to make money. This includes hotline-psychics and that Sylvia Brown I've heard so much about (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Brown IMHO) Some use their special techniques like cold reading, I'm sure we've all heard of that. Others just tell you things that seem unique to you but could apply to any individual. (Fortune cookies, anyone?) The speculation surrounding these puts into question the entire subject of psychic powers. Is that why you don't believe in them?

After all, who knows for sure?


Is it you?

I definitely beleive that the human mind has much more potential than we realize.

We only use like 10% of our brain. Or is it less? I dunno.

Oh, just read SodaFan's post. 10-15%

I got dejavú dreams each week,about school,about the wekend,about the...yeah,you get the point.

[Phil]

Several people mentioned dejevu dreams. Has it ever helped? Meaning because of the dream you knew the right answer when you would not have had you not had the dream? Just wondering.

[Nitro God]

I remember having a dream, quite a good one then a good while later, about 3 months I had a follow up.

[Phil]

A dream rerun? That's funny.

[Nitro God]

Not a rerun. It was an episode and then a different one if you get me.

That Sylvia Brown article was interesting. As for cold reading, I have a term for it. Terry Pratchett, although a fiction writer, uses this term as well: Headology. It's just smarts. Cold reading, shotgunning, all that, comes under my heading of headology. It's using psychological tacts to get people to believe you're telling them things they don't know.

If you think hard about it, and follow the roots down to the core of the matter, it always comes up with the same problem: Light cannot be overtaken. This follows to: time travel is impossible. If it were, you could change history. If you could change history, or the future, than it would be possible to kill your parents. Illogical point here- how could you have existed to kill your parents, if you killed them? It's like dividing a number by zero. Back the main root: If you could predict the future, you could change it. You know, choose chocolate instead of strawberry flavour for your icecream- the psychic (who, in this scenario, is completely real and can tell the future) fortold (not predicted) that you would choose strawberry. Voila, you've changed the future. Without actually needing to be in it.

The point of this is, that you can't know what the future really holds. If you did, you could alter it- and then, back in the past, the fortelling would be rendered incorrect. But, because our psychic here is the real deal, how come he got it wrong?

Mull over it for a bit. Time travel is logically impossible, and therefore, so is fortelling it. The only way to go back without generating a divide by zero is through memory. Telling the future is impossible.

Interestingly enough, this doesn't apply to speaking with the dead.

Think about the chance of a "future predicting" dream. What would you say they are? 1 in 100,000?
Think of this
1. There are over 6,000,000,000 people in the world, that means that if you everyone were to have 1 dream a night, these would happen to 60,000 people every day
2. guess what, you have way more than 1 dream a night. on average around 15, I believe. (that comes out to be about 1 exact future predicting dream every 15 years)

the point being: coincidences are more likely than you think.

As far as mind readers: they're trained to read facial expressions, and body language, thats as good as it gets. Anything else is either staged or lucky.

slight correction that doesn't change much anything:

The reason you can't predict the future isn't because one can't go into the future, its because one can't get back. One can orbit an extremely dense star or other object. Massive gravitational pulls and high speeds will cause relative time for the traveller to slow down. So after 1 year for them, about 15 of our years pass.

So someone could camp out for 5 years, and travel effectively 70 years into the future (5*75-5). But the problem would than be getting back.

in short: light can take longcuts to places, putting them in the future, but in no way can it (or you) go back through time.
