what do you think of ESP? My classmates back in college used to tease me about having ESP because everytime I decided to skip class, the prof was absen, and if I felt I absolutely shouldn't skip class, even if the prof was already 30 minutes late, he would still have class. Also, I seem to be tuned in to the people who have become close to me, like my ex-boyfriends and my best friends. When one of my ex-bfs died, even if i had had no contact with him for, like, 3 years, I dreamt of him the night he died. And when my other ex broke up with me without any warning, i dreamt he said goodbye to me the night before, and when he showed up again without warning, 2 yrs later, I dreamt of him the night before as well.. I also seem to know when my best friend leaves town even if he doesn't say anything to me... in my dream, i see him leaving!

It's always nice to see these sort of stories, I've been learning and practising this a long time, and am in no doubt we are all able to tune into any information there is as it all seems to be one huge pool that we can learn to tune in to. I definitely believe your experiences are real as once people I know hear I'm interested, many tell me very similar stories, and I pick up all sorts of emotions, personal information and pictures when I do psychic readings.
The one limit I'd place is on seeing the future. This does not involve picking up existing information as it hasn't happened, and twisting time is as yet beyond any area of science, whereas receiving distant sounds and pictures has been going on via radio and TV a long time. Thoughts generate electricity and there are also energies we still can't measure as well, including one we know, gravity. But if anyone focuses on what they want to know, relaxes, empties their mind, and then says the first things that come to them, it should be easy to find out all sorts of accurate information. I learnt in classes, and if we all start to do it telepathy and viewing places from a distance could become part of our normal abilities with lots of practice.

I also have worked with things like E.S.P. It is possible to tap into a source of energy. It give you a clearer perception of things. Either that or it really is "All in My Head". Sometimes I think I'm crazy. Then I remember that I am.

I think it exists, and that some people have more of it so to say than others. I know my grandmother, well it was scary really. The rest of us not so much, perhaps I have inherited it more than others really, I can just sense things sometimes - more of a feeling really, different ones, that through time I have learned to associate with good/bad things happening, or rarely I can actually guess because it feels "right" ... but as I said noone comes close to nana.

hey, i had a really weird experience the other week... i've been waiting for a friend to come online so he could accept my invitation in friendster, but i didn't know exactly when, then friday night, i didn't exactly dream i saw him login, but i woke up with the conviction that he had... and sure nuff, he'd accepted my invite when i checked my friendster account... i guess it was kinda wishful thinking partly, but everybody doesn't have computers here in the Philippines, especially the provinces, so if you e-mail someone, you'll never know if or when he will reply. that part about feeling absolutely sure he had accepted my invite was weird, though.

In my english class, we were learning about the 5 senses. My teacher said that there is a 6 sense, ESP, but only a few people believe in it. But of course, me being very curious, looked up all I could on it, and I definatley believe in ESP!

Yuppers,

There is something out there! Some people have it, other people don't! It's as simple as that...

I think ESP is something of a...gift, made accidently in the "Dinosaur Age". I say "accidently" because if everyone had ESP, the world would be in chaos! Yes, it does sound like ESP to me layadreil, but a special kind of ESP. It was one given by your friends hearts. I am personally a Wicken. I have the ability to heal people with nature. I have a job with reposibilty, as do you. ESP is not to be messed around with. It is very fragile and people have it for a reason.
Use it well layadreil!

Sorry, don't believe in ESP, Ghosts, UFOs, things that go bump in the night. All products of people's imagination. I do believe there is a Supreme Being though, and he/she has a sense of humour because he/she made us didn't he/she?!

If you want proof that the "Supreme Being", whatever you choose to call it, has a sense of humor, look at the platypus!

At my college a lady and her husband came in a gave a show. The lady chose people from the audience, and figured out random things about them just by thinking (so she claimed). She guessed things like their names, driver's liscense number, boyfriend's name, names of dead relatives, phone numbers, and all kinds of things. It was really amazing. She made a girl lighter by thinking, and made herself heavier. She did a weird thing with a picture. She told her to think about her dead great grandmother, then touched her friend, who was a few yards ago. The girl felt like she was touched in the same place, then they took a picture of the girl, and her great grandmother was in it. Here's the website:

That is impressive, Loveoflearning- I hadn't heard of them before, but my guess is they are genuine as at all the psychic groups I've been to there are many people who can do parts of what they do, and they also appear to have reached a level above what we could do, as they do it so often.
If we all try doing what they do, many will be surprised, as it's not hard at all to focus on a question, clear your mind, and speak before you think to get the answer. With practice you can do more and more, and each person will find they're better at some things than others. Try for instance Uri Geller's trick of seeing a picture in a sealed envolope. I recently tried with someone who'd never done it before, and I drew a 4 leaf clover (there are about 5 standard things people draw, like a house, a star and a boat, and you tell them to draw something else).
She started drawing, and stopped, and said 'what on earth is this?'. She'd actually drawn a two leaf clover, and I said 'hold on', and got a mirror and held it up to her picture. When I did that it was exactly the same!

I hope there will be more and more people who learn what the Evasons can do, then it'll be more than a surprise when you see a few gifted people doing it, it'll become a part of everyday life.

The platypus is a truly beautiful animal - one of 'his/her' best creations!

But, back to the topic of E.S.P., I do believe that some people are much more intuative then others, particularly women (and I'm not being sexist). I experienced what I call a premonition or perhaps a touch of deju vu, it was when my Dad had his first heart attack, I knew it had happened before anyone told me it had happened, and it was very weird! I have since then 'known' when loved ones are going to be in crisis and have been able to preempt things that 'were' going to happen by telling them that I've got a feeling about such-and-such, and, my husband often says that he knows I told him so . . .

Engadine, I believe that's a natural ability you've discovered that many people share, and the more you use it the more you accept it as normal. Just because science deosn't understand it shouldn't stop us from accepting it as it works. To lead to my latest example from a dream last night.

I was driving a large people carrier taxi, and the latest customer, a man with his wife and 3 children wanted to go to the 'Ear nose and throat hospital'. He asked if I knew where it was and I thought for a second to bring the distantly remembered answer to my conscious mind. I thought of the rough part of Central London I remembered it to be in, and thought 'That's near Gower Street', which is what I told him.
When I woke up I wrote it all down, and thought that though there are a number of major hospitals by Gower Street, including an out patient department I'd been to once, I'd never heard of the E.N.T. hospital, though vaguely remembered a Royal one. I looked it up, and it was actually called the Royal ear hospital, and was in Huntley Street, parallel to Gower Street at the North end, roughly where I thought it was in the dream. But when I woke up I didn't even know such a place existed, let alone where it was. There are hundreds of specialised hospitals in central London, and unless I'd delivered there or known someone who'd been there it's far too specialised to be widely known, and if I used to know something and forgotten it, I'd know how I found it out, but I had no recollection of an ear hospital, and even if I had, would never have had a reason to know it was next to Gower Street.
This extended my ESP by a level from the last dreams as previously the information was shown in writing or told to me. This time I was asked the question, and in the dream state knew the answer exactly. I guarantee if you'd asked me before I'd have said 'Is it the Royal E.N.T.? It's probably in Central London but I have no idea where'. It meant nothing to me after I woke up and wrote it down, and I still had no guesses where it was even though I'd actually already got the right answer in a dream. The best news is that it should make no difference if I'm awake or not once I found I can do this. I should now be able to answer similar questions while awake if I'm capable of finding such obscure information out in a dream, I still had to think and get an answer.

It's interesting that you have the power to 'dream' these things and remember them (more's the point!) I very rarely ever dream and if I do I would almost NEVER remember anything about what I dreamed, except for maybe who I dreamed about . . . isn't the human mind a wonderful tool . . .

I think its possible, there are so many stories about esp now that its hard not to believe it. Although this isnt really esp the closest I ever come to this sorta thing is whenever my best friend and i ring eachother. We usually get "Oh, I was going to call you later on!" and it could be months after our last call...
