No bad energy coming from your message.

Hi Life_afterdeath,

I sense from the words that you type that you're pretty curious at the moment and maybe want to see if there are any people here in this forum that are clairsentient in this forum. I think there are. You seem to be interested in the paranormal and those who possess a little bit of esp or maybe a lot. Your vibes were ok at the moment you typed those words.

Thanks.

I feel better knowing that...
I've been having sort of an Identity crisis here lately...
I sometimes wonder if I house a lot of evil energy...
I mean, I'd sacrifice myself for someone else, but I have this meanstreak about me...

You guys can sense vibes from these messages?  You can't be getting them from the message themselves as those are just photon representations of bits and bytes of data from your computer.  Or is there some kind of actual emotion attached to the message I am sending you guys right now?  If this is true, it certainally destroys the idea of anonomity on the internet

Pardon my skepticism, I'm naturally like this, it helps me discern reality and the such.

Hi,

Things around you do emanate a feeling and so do words. If you're sensitive enough, you'll be able to pick them up. I'll use a more vivid example. If you walk into a place where murder and violence is rampant, you'll be able to feel that energy around the environment. The same is true if you walk into a place where there has been a lot of love. Words do have vibes because they have been written in a certain style and manner. I've read books where the author has written words from a state of presence. When you read them, it has the power to trigger presence within you.

"I've been having sort of an Identity crisis here lately...

Every person has a shadow side to them. I think that's what you're trying to deal with inside yourself. "Many of us have spent too much time chasing the light only to find more darkness. 'One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,' said Jung, but by making the darkness conscious." Have you considered doing shadow work? If shadow work doesn't help, you may need to consider something else but I think this is what you're dealing with.



Thanks.

We're all made up of good & evil. I suspect very few can be all good like Mother Theresa or Ghandi. I like having the mix better.  It serves me better.

You could go positive or negative in your opinion about us at this point. which is a good thing, actually. []

Life_afterdeath, I sense this (but could be wrong):

You are confused. You search for something but dont know what it is. You have little emotion.

[Life_afterdeath]

I don't fit in with my age group.  To me, most of them are fools.  They all act like I'm some weird loser or something.  Not ONE person can talk to me in a normal manner.  Perhaps I'd just like to find my place?  It sure as hell isn't here, I'll tell you that much.

[no_leaf_clover]

You pick up a lot just from words, without the help of much else.

As an example some of us can kind of relate to, let's pretend somebody just said they could shoot a ki ball and destroy the Moon, and they get the following responses:

• 1) Wow! Really? That's awesome! I'd ask you to do it, but I'm afraid it would cause mass extinction on Earth.
• 2) Destroy the Moon? Can you destroy something less important so we can see it as an example?
• 3) Blow up the Moon? Let's see it.
• 4) wtf? You can't blow up the Moon you stupid newb.

Now these are exaggerated examples, but in them you should be able to clearly pick up the tone of whoever's replying, from gullible to a hard skeptic. You can pick up similar things from other posts, but they just might not be as obvious. And the tone you think they're posting in and their actual mood may be different, depending on the person. That's my current opinion anyways. I wouldn't know much about telling someone's mood or picking up good or bad vibes in many other ways than that.

not to seem self centered by making this thread, I was just curious what types of vibes people would get from me by reading.

No offense..but that was exactly the feeling I got from your thread. [] And that was BEFORE you posted this nice little comment....

Perhaps you didn't mean "here" as of on the AP forums?  Cause if that is your attitude, it will get you no where fast.[^]

I hate to break it to you, but if you would have asked me to be more specific, I would be.  When I say " It sure as hell isn't here ", I'm not talking about the Astral Pulse forum.  I do have a life outside of the internet you know.  I'm talking about where I go to school, the county ( just so you know, that says COUNTY, not COUNTRY )  I live in, the people from around here.  I like everyone in the AP forum.

Hehehehehe...I hate to break it to you, I WAS asking you..[]

Next time I will be sure, to not be so cryptic in my wording.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.  May I add...in this post I had the feeling you were a bit defensive. (just so you know, that was a statement on my part, not a question) Ahhhhhh, how I love clearing the air.[]

I guess we're clear then.  Didn't mean to start combat back there or anything.  yes, I did get a little defensive, but that just comes from being misunderstood all the time.  No offense taken, none dished out.

Hmm, my mind is entering the universal flux matrix-o-tron...  I'm tuning into your vibes...  downloading emotional data...  10%... 20%... 30%.... 50%.... 60%.... 90%.... 99%..... 99%..... 99%........ 99%............... complete...

I think hidden somewhere in your being is a search for answers, even though you never stated a direct question.  You feel that you've never found your place, and are full of frustration that you just don't get the people around you, and would love to find some people who were less judgemental and easier to get along with.

Often the more open minded people (i.e. think outside whatever is shown on tv or in school classes etc, i.e. has a brain of their own, i.e. you and me and everyone else here) intimidate other people.  Also, because we tend to be nicer and more understanding people will take advantage to bring you down because they're sick of seeing you strutting around using big words and talking about complex philosophy.

I used to suffer a similar problem at school, not being able to get along with anyone because well I thought they were all stupid and they wouldn't listen to me, and I'd get defensive and they'd be offended.  I didn't see this however because I was stuck in a vicious cycle...  Problems at home were the root of my troubles, but it took me many years to work out.  I'd be made to feel stupid and useless at home and I'd go to school with this attitude of "gee, I feel stupid but I know I'm not, so I'm gonna set out to prove everyone wrong".  At first I tried talking with people to convince them but quickly enough they got sick of it because they wanted to have "fun" conversations about "fun" stuff like motorbikes or cars or go-karts or something simple.  Thinking requires effort, and considering most people like to be relaxed and chilled out as often as possible they consider their free time to generally be a "heavy thinking free zone".  The end result of the cycle was the people at school treat me like the dumb loser I was trying to show that I wasn't.

Because I shared so few interests with the people around me (as is still the case now) I found it was hard to communicate with them, for example I couldn't hang with the basketball crew because I didn't know anything about the NBA (I'm Australian), I couldn't hang with the library kids cos they'd spend all lunchtime playing magic the gathering.  I ended up settling for the band of outcasts who, I found, were easy to get along with in an I wont judge you-you won't judge me kind of way.  It still didn't satisfy my desire for "intelligent" company because I just wanted someone to talk to about my interests.  I have at least three good mates from school who I've slowly found share different aspects of my interests, all at different levels of understanding so we're always catching up with each other.

But my point...  hmm do I have one.  Hang on let me check...  nope, I must've left in my other pants....  oh hang on here it is. (I'm a rambler)

You want to find your place, just as I wanted to.  I've come to realise that you need to follow your heart, make some tough choices and also see that wherever you feel comfortable, that is your place.  A lot of it has to do with learning to feel more comfortable in various situation, at least with me I've forced myself to get along with people I'd otherwise deem stupid, and its quite a learning experience, especially when you get involved in interpersonal politics.  It seems to involve a lot of listening to other peoples sides of stories and taking sides and saying "yeah?" "Oh so she fell from the balcony?" "you think Adrian pushed her?  Thats no good" while all the time you're thinking "who are these people we're talking about!!!!

see im rambling again, anyway I was trying to make a point there but probably ended up sounding like an 80 year old man telling stories that go nowhere.  Which is a worry since I'm only 23.

GRANDPA!!!! YOU'VE ALREADY TOLD THAT STORY BEFORE!! []

For some reason, my first reaction reading that was "Do me now! Do me now!" like some overexcited 10 year old boy :/

At any rate, I can identify with some of those feelings.  Cars, Sports, and a lot of other things like that just don't do it for me.  Might explain why I drift from thing to thing so much.  I try something, find it just doesn't satisfy what I'm looking for, then move on.

You pretty much hit the nail right on the head!  That blew the candles right off of the cake.  A lot of what you said applies to me, but in a different style.  I'd compare, but you pretty much said everything that needed to be said.
A lot of the time, I really do wish I could be on the same level as other people, but at times, it's almost like they're too busy being stuck in their own little world, dominated by "American Idol", and "football", and all the "cool" trends of hip-hop fashion.
Driving their vibrating cars down the street as you look, shaking your head in disappointment.  ( the cars vibrate because of the bass, for those of you who didn't get that ).
A lot of the time, they're all so defensive in their own way that they can't let anything get inside of their little "image" they try to provide for other people.  You have the girls that wear the belts that aren't even going through their belt loops...they wear the wooden-soled shoes that go "clunk clunk clunk", which in the end sounds like a pi**ed off cowboy clip-clopping down the hall.  When there's more than one of them, it sounds like a caravan of camel.
Sorry I branched off into modern style there...but my point is, people don't just try to live anymore.  They try to look pretty for the rest of the world to look at, and create some sort of "image" that keeps talkitive people from learning who they really are.
Believe it or not, some of the people I meet and talk to are like androids.  Like they've been "programmed" to be a certain way.  You talk to them, be it in person or online, and they're just always in " DUHH, WADDYA SAY? " mode.  You use a big word and they struggle to keep from passing out.  The world is becoming more and more simple.  The more TV the world watches, the more dull they become.  If I were able to go 23 years into the future, I would be a genius.  I would be the smartest person alive.  Do you know why?  Television, and all of the "styles" that people try to base their life on will deplete their intelligence until there's not a drop left.  Reality TV is rotting minds as we speak.  All that anyone knows about around me is what they see on MTV or what they hear in anything over-rated.

I'd better shut up before someone in here lobs a grenade at me.
Sorry I spoke so much.

This probobly isn't even really possible, but just from the very words I type, do you sense any type of bad vibes from me?  Any good vibes?  This is just for fun, but what do you guys feel about me just by my online presense? ( I don't even think it's possible to tell )
