Clairvoyancy How did she do this?

[kaytee]

As a young psychic person, I can attest to the the idea that you're proposing. Ever since I was young, I've had experiences with the paranormal and had "lucky hunches" for things. My parent's used to call me their good luck charm because I always seemed to be really good at "guessing". I used to be a skeptic of ghosts and psychics, because I didn't realize that what I was experiencing was something out of the norm. I didn't realize that no one else could see my friends. I didn't realize that no one other than my mother and I heard the bad man in my room talk. These events can be tracked down to my youngest of memories and even before that. This tells me that I was born this way. I do think that everyone is psychic to some extent. As human beings we only use portions of our brain, and we only choose to accept certain things. I also have a synesthesia which is a common crossing of the senses. In some cases the sense of taste is crossed with sight, so for example if someone with this were to eat an orange they might think of a square. For me, when I hear things I see shapes and colors in my head. And numbers and letters all have colors and personalities for me. When I spell, I can see the words in my head, like I'm looking at a sheet of paper. This tells me that if those senses can be crossed then, why not any other senses? Certain people are just more sensitive and aware of their surroundings. It's a curse, and it's a blessing, and it is something that we're all born with, and we can work on it to strengthen it if we chose to understand it more.

and I've been to a show before.
there are no cocktail parties beforehand, and they don't allow you to say names. The pyschic simply says what they get off of that person's energy, or sometimes a deceassed family member comes to talk to them. They tell them what they get and they confirm or deny it.

Synethesia causes confusion among the senses. That is much different than the claimed ability to detect things beyond the known senses. And there is no reason to believe that synethesia would somehow give a person any special ability.

My, you really had to go back a long way to find this thread.

 

[kaytee]

I know it doesn't mean that I can detect anything beyond the known senses, but it does suggest that if those senses are "confused" that it isn't absurd to say that I am able to also see things that other people cannot.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

True, but by that line of reasoning it is all in your head. In that event you are hallucinating.

 

[kaytee]

i don't think that it gives me special ability, it's actually very confusing and makes it difficult to do math, added to my difficulty with it in the first place. This was about whether or not people are born psychic. I was merely using the condition to make a point that senses have the capability of doing more than people assume. so let's get off the topic of my synesthesia.

 

[kaytee]

i'm not hallucinating, i just seem to be wording it wrong. as i said, i was using it as a point that people's senses can differ from one anothers.

Okay, fair enough, but I can't allow that last statement to go unchecked. Your comparison to synethesia was not a valid one. As far as we know, one thing has nothing to do with the other. All that synethesia [in this context] shows is that our senses can be fooled.

 

[kaytee]

fair enough, i guess. haha. it made more sense in my head.

Please note that you are welcome to share your personal experiences that seem to involve the unexplained, but we have to stay away from unscientific interpretations of those events and explanations not based in known science. Sometimes we can explain things, and sometimes the claims remain a mystery.

 

[kaytee]

why?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

What in particular is excluded that you would like to discuss?

 

[kaytee]

i'm just curious as to why things can only be looked at from a scientific point of view.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

This is a science forum.

It would be best to review the posting guildelines.

I'd first like to point out that I wasn't looking at things from a spiritual point of view but now that you mention it...

i think that would actually be best is for all those who shoot down anything that they can't explain because it doesn't come with it's own set of guidelines and formulas to stop hiding behind their textbook explanations and be open to the idea that maybe there is more to knowledge than just science. Some things are meant to not be understood, and slaving your life away trying to look for something that maybe we're not even supposed to understand seems like an awful waste.

Science forum or not, I can express my opinion, HEAVEN FORBID it doesn't agree with science %100. So you can take your smiley faces and posting guidelines and take that however you'd like.
