Messing Around With Things

[Mistic-Idan]

I can just tell ya that I'ts called Empathy and it's a rare sense that usualy ppl are born with, it's a kind of telepathy but just to get emotions and not thoughts.
If you were a telepathic too you could get the emotions and evenread their minds and tell yourself why they're feeling like that.
YOU ARE LUCKY!

Yep I also believe its Empathy. Personally, I probably wouldnt be able to deal with the emotions, at least before a bit or hard training. Speaking of which, if youd like to try to develope your skill, and be able to use it at will, try here:

I know its a "beginners" guide, but it will do. Im not sure, but I think it mentions sheilds so you wont get bogged down with emotions, if not, go to the articles section and find "Sheilds"
Better yet, heres a link!:

Thanks for the links, and I really need to look into these shields bit more.  It's been getting exponential better (or worse depending on how you view this) every day.  During the mall experiment, I had to kind of "lock on" to the vibe signature of a person.  Today when I was out it was like people were broadcasting, except I can't change the channels on them.  Kind of fun, but kind of weird also.  Some people have a certain "taint" which leaves a bad taste in my mouth physically.  I could do without that.

The psipog website was pretty interesting, too.  I had no idea that there were entire communities set up to learn and teach these kinds of things.  And now, for some follow-up questions, assuming there's not too much lead in my drinking water and I actually am picking up vibes from other people, why?  I tried google'ing a few combinations of words like "causes of empathy psionics" and things like that, but all I managed to pull up was role-playing game information.  While it would be interesting to know what magic item gives me +3 to psionics, it's not really what I was looking for.  Did my brain just glitch up as it was building itself and forget to put in the firewall?  What are some theories (or links to) these sorts of occurences (google'ing for "psionics" brought up the same type of role-playing sites)?

Sorry for these long newbie posts, but this is a lot to wrap my head around.  It's been a wild couple of weeks.  I need to learn more about this before I end up abusing it.  It's almost too much responsibility.  Knowing what people are thinking, really thinking about deep inside, my head hurts just thinking of all the ways you could abuse that.  And if our thoughts and emotions are being broadcast and received subconsciously all the time, it stands to reason you could start playing with those a little bit, and not manipulating them in a good way.  See, I told you it was a lot to wrap my head around.

As for the telepathy side of things, I think I'm getting the information already, I just can't decode it.  It's like "Here's Jane, here's her lump of energy and vibrations."  The emotions are basic and raw, easy to figure out.  You can't delude yourself out of emotion.  You can cover up your sadness, but the sadness is still there underneath it - and entirely readable.  The background noise behind all of that is probably thought, but there's a huge difference between "Jane happy," and "Jane is wondering if the shirt she bought at the store will look good with those pants in her closet."

I've always been kind of interested in things like this, occult magic (Goetia type things), astral projection, metaphysics, and I've dabbled in a bunch of them, or at least read until they stopped being interesting.  Lately though I've been screwing around with a thing called a brainwave generator.  It uses opposing beats in your ears to push your brain frequency to some other frequency that you want.  I haven't done it with any specific method, sometimes I just want to fall asleep quicker, or sometimes I'll just try to open up my mind (I guess in a sort of meditative way).  I did this for a few weeks every day or so for one reason or another, but lately, things have gotten kind of interesting.

At first I just thought that listening to this program was kind of a novelty, but I've been realizing things lately that I can't attribute to anything else.  I've been picking up vibes, for lack of a better word, from people.  From some people they're very weak, almost to the point of nonexistence.  One person in particular, I can lock into and just know what they're doing at any given time.  It's not very specific things I can pick up, just emotions really.  I can tell that she's sleeping right now, or that she was rushed and worried about something earlier.  Kind of strange, and it's hard to verify any of this because how exactly do you call someone up and say "Hey, why are you bored right now?  Because I have a mental impression that you're bored right now."

I played a game with myself today at the mall.  I sat down at a table and just watched people walking by, and tried to "read" them, how they were feeling.  I've always been good at reading people's emotions, but nothing to this extent.  I'd look at a couple, and just know that the guy's mind is working on one level, pretty boring guy, not much to him.  Then I'd look at the girl, and know that she thinks she's happy, but she's worried or scared about something.  Maybe that her life is in the gutter, that she thinks the guy is cheating on her, I have no idea, I just get the emotion not the reason.  One guy I looked at was really interesting, it was just total confusion.  I couldn't even pull one emotion out of the swirl.

Now my question is, what the hell is going on?  Is my mind just working in creative overdrive coming up with hundreds of mini-stories about people I see all day?  If I'm just imagining this, why can I feel people even while I'm sitting here typing in my room?  It's been getting stronger these past couple days, which is the reason why I sought out this forum.  I'm not overly skeptical or fanatical about metaphysical things, but my mind is open to the possibility.  Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
