there is a part of your brain which filters out stuff that seems unimportant and illusions and so on. In a lot of people that part is underactive. Hallucenogenic drugs switch it off. I'm not saying whether when it's not functioning you are seeing the truth or something from inside or a demonic vision

How very interesting. Did she have just isolated experiences, or was it a constant and steady thing? What about you Self, are these experiences constant, can you bring them on at will, or do they just happen?
I'm asking questions like our dear Maple now?;-)

No I think theyre brought on by pain. Both friends were suicidal and I was their closest relationships.

I TOTALLY believe we ALL have the "power" (hate that word) Our 6th sense is just a muscle like the brain that need practice. We are amazing creatures.

There are so many levels of the mind that we know nothing about really. (My BA is in Psychology-a great interest of mine)For me, it indicates the potential God provides that we may not be exploring. In Church history, which is what I am most familiar with, there have been people that seem to have such amazing gifts, for healing, for prophecy, for all sorts of things.It makes me wonder. I'm not trying to convert you, but like everyone I channel everything through my own belief patterns so naturally I look to God as the source. I realize you might disagree with tha assumption on my part.

it went on for a long time but stopped when the guy left. he was what he referred to as a healer. put his hands over people and they said they felt better. I believe this works. Probably mainly because you're getting human attention, warmth, and a quiet moment in a peaceful surrounding. this is a very good thing for anyone with any ailment, except possibly narcolepsy


Your such a smart cookie ;) I think its the warmth of anothers touch too. Positive energy. Ive done the same and had the recipiant look atme and say......WHAT is THAT? LOL I smile and just tell them the truth.....Love ;)

I truly have no clue what the source is. but it definately seems to show up in times of high emotion, maybe it's the trigger rather than the source

I tend to think that God has given us this ability and that if we are pure in our intentions towards the other person, we can, as Jesus said, move spiritual mountains.

I don't know, to be honest with you. Maybe it is a gift from God? I'd have to really know a person before making those kinds of judgements.

Do you have dreams as well? Are these dreams that are about things happening or are about to happen?

I think such an experince would scare the crap out of me at first too. I would be positive I was losing my mind.

All gifts are from Godess and God. I used to be scared now I just laugh at myself because I used to be scared. We all dream......you dream......you just dont listen. Keep a dream journal......you'll see

No because I look to Godess/God. We ALL are different filters because we ALL have different experiences. BTW Im NOT convertable ;) Although I put in for one next Yule LOL

How would one do this? I don't think I remember most of my dreams.But still, I might try this. St John of the Cross relied on his images in dreams, and so did St John the Apostle, who wrote the Gospel of John and the book of Revelations. In fact, he claimed the book of Revelations came to him from God in a dream. Did you know that?

Are you able to continue to do this? Do you think they were part of the process because of their pain?


I know both have rebirthed. I miss them but I know their happy in their new lives. No its not under my control. Some can but I cant. I do think It was because of my friends pain........I was open to them helping me help their loved ones.

How very profound, and I know you will be angry at my mentioning this, but exactly what Jesus might have said.

Preist dont get me wrong......sorry thats what Im calling you :p ............Ive said it a dozen times Jesus was a great teacher........but his followers screwed it up............seriously. Jesus wanted unconditional Love and THATS what he gave.........now wheather it was a story or true what difference does it make?
