Do you believe humans can have psychic abilities?

520 sats \ 111 comments \ @DesertDave 23 Oct spirituality

What do you think? Do you feel like you have psychic or other extra sensory abilities? Is even a real thing? Is it learned or something we are born with?

I haven't seen it in person myself, but I don't disbelieve it is possible.

I am glad you are open to the possibility. For myself, it has been something subtle. Something I had to work to see. We have to believe.

Everybody is psychic. Most do not acknowledge or develop their powers.

I agree. I was clueless about my abilities for many years. I didn't even believe it was a thing. Now looking back, I can see that I have always been tapped into things beyond the physical. I just chose not to see it.

I agree, I have studied group meditations and can tell you I am pretty sure people are all 'psychic' its just level of awareness.

God forbid, it would prevent me from actually being able to do something.

Why is that? I think it would allow you to do more. It doesn't stop your other abilities. It's additive to the human experience. I am living off grid, mining Bitcoin with the sun, and building all sorts of things while still maintaining psychic abilities.

I think it would allow you to do more.

But it doesn't Dave, reality is that it doesn't.

It doesn't stop your other abilities.

Yes it does, in the most strict sense: time spent on this things, with the intent of achieving something, actively prevents you from actually achieving it, all the while there are actual ways to do everything you can think of. And that's the thing: anything you can think of achieving with any kind of supernatural powers is always achievable orders of magnitude in excess by non-supernatural means. Think about anything, and you will find it's always true.

Why would I prevent myself from attaining true power? I will be in Mars connected to the power of the mass population mind through Neuralink while psychics still try telepathy with forks.

It seems you and I disagree.. the difference is I have been where you are before. Something to consider. Btw, we aren't going to Mars. Elon isn't a good guy. He's an egomaniac. Hate to break it to you. But no matter. I acknowledge your version of this story 💚

I listened to this guy the other day, Lyn Buchanan talks about remote viewing programs in this interview from the Disclosure Project Intelligence Archive

He gets into the specifics at around 6 min.

Lyn Buchanan is great, and there are lots of recent interviews with him on Youtube :-)

He also offers a couple of options for online training, at least one of them is quite affordable too.

Psychic to one person is another's everyday experience. I think like most other senses, if a person is psychic they are perceiving something most miss. Of course, most miss a lot of "ordinary reality" but I'm not sure a person would be called psychic for noticing, but they might be.

I agree. Everything is a spectrum.

52 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 24 Oct

Not in the sense people usually mean that. We do overestimate the amount of our experience that is directly due to our senses though. The truth, as I understand it, is that we take in a small fraction of sensory data and hallucinate the rest.

What we fill in the gaps with is interpolation based on previous pattern recognition.

We also have to realize that most of our sensory inputs are not processed consciously. Our brains learn to filter out the noise and bring signal to our conscious attention.

What I think is going on with psychic experiences is combinations of filling in gaps (intuition) and reacting to subconscious sensory data.

i did a very simple remote viewing experiment, and it worked. basically asked wife to draw an item in the room that i was thinking about, after a brief warm-up, and her subconscious started drawing it correctly, but then her conscious mind fooled her into interpreting the shape differently, so she ended up drawing a blend of what i was thinking of and what she wanted the item to be. it was wild, especially since she could not see the item i was thinking of very well from her position.

Absolutely.

There’s some more mundane examples of this that I feel indicate we all have the ability. Like a mother knowing their child is in trouble or twins being able to know where the other one is. These are really strong connections so it doesn’t take much training or sensitivity.

But I believe anyone can open themselves up to psychic abilities.

11 sats \ 53 replies \ @didiplaywell 24 Oct

I don't. And I severely dislike the idea. Why would you even want this? Anything that's claimed possible with all of that is routinely achieved by actual science, over and over, the ultimate example being Neuralink. The great hypocrisy from this kind of subjects is that they systematically prevent you from achieving anything, while you could have done not the same but incomparably more through actual science. Think about this and you will find it's always true.

I feel quite differently and I appreciate your perspective. To me, Science is just one way of viewing reality. It isn't what is absolute and "real". This is coming from someone who used run on "logic" and only believe in science. Then I went through some kind of major shift. And now I see my reality In a whole new way. I now longer observe an objective. We are born with the ability to tap into all types of things if we learn how to harness it. Its all energy and vibration, and we can tap into the fields with our own human bodies. I hope people are cautious when putting chips in your brain, especially ones that were created by another human who is in the business of who knows what. That seems dangerous to me. I would much prefer to use my own natural abilities. I am curious why you almost seem offended by the question. To "severely dislike" the idea. This is all just my opinion, based on my own experience. And in my experience, magic is real. 🤷‍♂️

11 sats \ 3 replies \ @didiplaywell 24 Oct

Science is just one way of viewing reality.

Science do not claims any differently. Even within itself.

It isn't what is absolute and "real".

It's never about "absolute" and "real". Science claims that to understand existence you must abandon notions as "absolute". Knowledge is and can only be contextual and referential.

I would much prefer to use my own natural abilities.

From the second you sit on a bike, you stop relying on your natural abilities. We all are as much as our technology allows us to be.

I am curious why you almost seem offended by the question. To "severely dislike" the idea.

I'm not offended, this is my perspective. My severe dislike is because not only this subjects do not allow to do what they claim to, but they even prevent you from achieving it, and even prevent you from being closer to nature and to be more able to appreciate its brightness and beauty. It's a no-no from every angle, hence my strong dislike.

Have you never had a thought the same time as another? Or heard about a mother knowing their child was in danger from another state? It definitely happens. I am sure there is way to measure it with science. The government is even tapped in. Check out the video @OneOneSeven posted. Do you think that is real? I only ask to encourage you to open your mind and consider there is more happening here than meets the eye.

Have you never had a thought the same time as another? Or heard about a mother knowing their child was in danger from another state? It definitely happens.

Yes, all the time. It's called intuition, an almost unavoidable ability of the brain to infer.

I am sure there is way to measure it with science.

There's, inference capability is measurable through correlativity coefficients from pattern recognition.

Do you think that is real?

What specifically? (sorry, inference failure :P )

consider there is more happening here than meets the eye.

That's a mantra I live by, that's why I love science. Science is all about always believing that there's more than what simply meets the eye.

That's not only factually untrue but examples are even famous for the scientifical breakthroughs produced after the awakenings from the mystical lethargy. One of the most important, of the top of my head, was Johannes Kepler (initially a devote mysticist, ditched the whole thing and embraced science, resulting in modern era celestial science).

There's also me. I was not only a devote Christian, but I also believed in all of this things as if they were certain. Until I woke up.

0 sats \ 41 replies \ @DesertDave OP 24 Oct

I have never met Mr. Kepler, so I am not sure how that proves what is "factually untrue". And Christianity is not the same as swimming with the mystics in my view. My whole point is that nothing is certain. So we should be i agreement right? But you just said that what I said was untrue. Which means you are certain. What woke you up?

11 sats \ 40 replies \ @didiplaywell 24 Oct

so I am not sure how that proves what is "factually untrue"

As per his own account on how he transitioned. Read his story, it's worth it.

Christianity is not the same as swimming with the mystics in my view

But he did however, for his initial views were inspired by religion, though dwelled in mysticism for nothing it had to do with his religion. That connection is what he was looking for and he failed, causing him to snap back to reality.

My whole point is that nothing is certain.

We agree, but we can only discuss what we take for certain in an agreed frame. Otherwise words are meaningless and purposeless.

What woke you up?

I woke up long before getting introduced into science, when I was a little kid. Nothing prompted me, it just stopped making sense by itself. So I started to look for sense, and I found salvation in science, then it became my religion.

That's another point I want to make. There being a story doesn't make anything true. That is why I quoted a man at a bus stop. I respect your views. It's just a different journey than mine. To me science as an art is beautiful. Science as a religion is dangerous.
