Paring of Senses

[olmate]

This fresh new day bought an amazing and vivid rainbow to celebrate the dawn.

It bought to mind the phenomenon of synaesthesia where one can see the colour of words and numbers (a basic description). It is understood this comes about by the pairing of two bodily senses - in this case sight and sound.

Is this something that an advanced practioner can activate as part of being present?

Hi,

This reminded me of my wife. She can see spelling and grammatical errors on a page of text. She says spelling errors are purple, grammatical errors are green, all in bold, while everything else is normal.
She said it happened one day prior to an English exam, when she was 14. She believes it was stress induced. But the ability has remained.

So It can be switched on……..but how, who knows

With my disorganized way of writing and grammatical errors, we have had some very heated discussions
Sorry for digressing…

I don't think you can choose to active these things, you can only choose to remove the things that are restricting you from any ability. i.e. "I can't spell" ..... "Yes you can, but first you must be free of your self limiting belief"

I can "see" (for want of a better word) potential energy and forces of physical objects. It's difficult to describe but, for example, if my partner places her mug of tea down near the edge of the table, I can see an increased potential energy (and therefore a likelihood that it will be knocked off the table easily) and this reduces if I move the mug further back onto the table. That's a very simplistic example, but I have awareness of this sort of thing (and many others) all the time.

It's not something I chose or actively activated, just something that exists and I'm aware of. I'm sure there are other things, but they will come to my awareness as I clear myself of those self limiting beliefs.

In addition to Giles post, it could very well be that it is always there as a potential in every human being.

But there is also a thing called "talent", where certain things go easyer with one person, and less easy with another.

There is no real definitive answer to this I guess, best advice I can give you is to give it a go and see if you can "train your brain"

Giles and Edwin,

That does make sense. I personally have noticed images in the peripheral vision. It is subtle and when I concentrate I see nothing. But when I relax and stop trying they appear. In essence I see people, moving about, but I rarely see their faces. Sometimes when I go to an opera or even a church service like a wedding, I see in the periphery people sitting high on rafters or chandeliers enjoying the music.

I get what you mean when you say you see energy fields. Do you also see auras? Does it ever become a distraction - say when you are in a conversation with someone?

The act of letting go and noticing seems increasingly to be more and more subtle and requires increasing precision. Is that your experience? Can you point me in a direction to learn about additional practices for letting go so my awareness increases?

Karmoh - that is too funny. Talk about having an unfair advantage. If I was you, I would just surrender.

Oh thats not all, she's Miss Continuity…….instantly spots flaws in TV programs and Movies
Drives me crazy…. Who invented the box that records while you watch...needs talking too. We are forever reviewing the programs or movies we are watching because she has spotted a shadow that’s facing the wrong way or Oprah is slim in one scene and carrying few in another

It's not just energy fields (and yes I would include Aura's in that), it's almost like, without thinking, I can see the laws of physics in action and know what the potential is in the physical sense before it happens. So, if something physical is not places correctly (or even if it is), I can see the stresses and strains placed on it, or how it would (re)act if a force were applied in a certain way. It's just a sort of "knowing".

Not really huge, but quite often i'll grab onto my cell phone without thinking about it and then a second later i'll receive a text message. By no means is it hard evidence of anything, but it's kind of cool when it happens

[Edwin]

There are enough examples for that in my life as well.

In my experience it has to do with the balance of Ki or Chi or whatever you will call it.
Every time my sister picks up the phone to call my mother the phone starts to ring allready, as an example.
There is no explenation possible, but it is there.
In the past secret agency's have even considered testing these phenomenan to try to find a new weapon through telekineses.

But the conclusion of those researches was that even tho it was there, it could not be trained and was not relyable.

And that is also a very good description of me

Is your sister into meditation and such?

You should look into the movie Men Who Stare At Goats, it's a story about how the army tried to create super soldiers who had minds that were capable of powers. I think it's kind of relevant because it goes a bit into eastern philosophy and beliefs and such. And it's hilarious.

"And that is also a very good description of me"

Hahaha, noice.
