What are your thoughts? 

I'll believe it when I see it.


Actually no, that's a lie.  If I see it, I'll suspect myself of having acute schizophrenia.

Anyway, I've started rambling now. When it comes to psionics, you either believe it or you don't.

true, although people are more inclined to believe it when they tried it, or have felt it on themselves. Although, it depends on what you're going to use this for which determines how far you'll get. Bragging, making you tihnk yourslef better than others, hurting others or the liking will get you no where if that's your intention. Doing it to cross the boundaries of reaility or to find ways making people happy/helping them in any way will make you progress easier.
why? This has something to do with your subconciousness.

About my last post, still don't see anything to counter it, guess this means psionics excist :p

If a person believes they have magic powers, then there's little that will convince him he's wrong.  It's just the nature of delusion.  All it takes is a few coincidences, or a few successes among countless failures, and it gives the delusional party enough "evidence" to support the delusion.

It's completely irrational, but it's all too common.

I agree Zanzibar. For tho-se who have watched the US TV series Friends, it makes me think of Phoebe in one episode sat thinking she is turning the TV on and off by blinking ;)

I don't like the show, but Phoebe's character is awesome.  I like to think of her persona as an act.  When she's being crazy, she's doing it just to mess with people or to see how they react.  Like the time when she was teaching Joey how to play guitar.  She knew she couldn't really teach him but she went along with it anyway.  And then when he started learning stuff on his own, she freaked out on him just to mess with him.  It all makes sense if you look at it that way.

When a person actually thinks they have magic powers though, I consider it reason to avoid that person.

well, I'm not sure if this pefectly fits this issue, but I had two things happening to me that maybe can be compared to be somekind of Psio- Thing.

I was once driving my car along a track I was driving ybout 3 to 4 times a week and where I was always pretty speeding. Its a street through a forest where you only sometimes meet other cars and you can really drive fast there. (120 - 140 km/h)

That day I drove along there and listened to the music of my radio and thought "don't hurry, you got time enough" - I this day only speeded 80 to 90 km/h.
Coming around a corner and there were 6 deers on the street and I could hardly manage to stop without hitting one of them.

If I'd driven as usual ... I think one of the deers and maybe me would have been dead. - I thought about somekind of Intuiton about this ... Anyway it saved me.


The second case is quite similar to this.
My daily track to work. Its most time up the hills, down the hills and there is one hilltop that I usually pass with about 100 km/h.
One day driving up the hill, I thought "have you ever thought that there could be something dangerous behind this top that you wouldn't see soon enough to avoid hitting it or even brake" - I went down with my speed and crossed with about 60 km/h  .. when I saw that there were 5 crates of mineral water laying spreaded across the street. - I could manage to brake and avoid hitting them.
But if I had crossed with my "usual" speed ... OMG

Well, as I said I'm not sure if that fits, but I sometimes think, there's a small guy sitting on my shoulder "warning" me if there is any danger.

you will excuse my english, do you ?

I think that post applies to your situation Fozzharn ;)

And if you keep speeding you will soon discover that your abilities, (to drive, 'use psionics' and also breathe) will be heavily impeeded. :) Speeding is naughty :P

I know, I know ... speeding is naughty ... sure. :ban:

And don't believe that I would trust this "guy on my shoulder" ... I still look and think while driving ....
