HiJ; thanks for reading my mental posting. Good luck I think even the desire to improve oneself mentally is a step in the right direction. sometime soon and I think I've said this before I'll post a few meditational exersizes you might like. Thank you to P. I like your comments , I'm puzzled about the difference between telepathy , and mind reading. Unless telepathy is the ability to send and recieve mental messages, while mind reading is just hearing thoughts? I think i did say that I knew right away this guy was not right, as I said he had curtains on his mini van, parked at a quiet spot on the river. Yet my buddy didnt figure it out and hes usually scared of everything. Plus I live in murder city, so you watch that kind of stuff.
I personally thin we lose the ability or use of telepathy when we learn to talk. peace B.

Hi Cowboy interesting post however I feel that perhaps yourself like many others have a somewhat different notion of what telepathy and mind reading entails, firstly no one who mind reads can access another persons private thoughts, I too can mind read and know that I could only tap into anothers thought process by way of it being for the good of a situation, much of what people consider to be reading minds is actually their own subconscious bringing about a reaction or response to a situation they had not even realised they had encountered long ago, but the subconscious doesnt forget, its often brought about by basic intuition, and many of the responses we may feel to have been as a result of mind reading are not really correct, theyre long forgotten ways of intuitively responding to a situation.

Upon glimpsing a person I usually know if Ill like that person or not, they dont even need to speak to me, yet Ill know I dont like them this is intuition coming into force. This is an instinctual subconscious knowing and a inbuilt protection that we all have. We know that the person who ever it is is not on the same frequency as ourselves and our intuition lets us know this by causing this instant dislike, or feeling of impending danger or doom. This could be through a past life memory or our present lifetime.

Telepathy and mind reading wont expose us to invasions of privacy, much like normal interactions the way mind reading works is more about our sending out silent messages to others who are vibratng at the same rate as ourselves. For instance when we say get the feeling someone we know is in danger thats our picking up their being in a dangerous situation and because we vibrate on the same frequency we pick up their fear or thoughts of distress and instinctively know there is something wrong or they are in danger or a danger is around them.

Im not dismissing your description of it, just saying that myself I perceive the mind reading and telepathic abilitites in another way.

Telepathy is a skill we are already capable of but over the centuries we have forgotten how to use because its been suppressed and weve been told we dont have this abilitity, but we do. Ill give this subject some more indepth thought and try to explain it further in a future post. I know what it is however to put it into words is not so easy LOL. phoenician

a penny for my thoughts? you read it wrong MC coz it was a treat reading your mental stuff. In fact i bet you did not guess it that after that fast check up the blog scroll, i'm gonna go back to it later. It's a great meditation drawer, inspires me to do the practice in a more sensible way.

Going mental.

This is again nothing important just a little practice.
I haven’t heard a lot from the people that predict an ascension or greater awakening of mankind in a while. That could be because they are now at peace with themselves’s , the world , and the future , and they don’t even think about the stuff anymore.
I have a problem or two with an awakening or greatly improved mental capacities. If the pitch is that Alien/god will fix our brains and give us all the answers , including telepathy, will this be heaven or hell?
First is the bigger better brain. Thank buddha its not my problem but being super smart isn’t all good. As I have been working for someone with a giant brain, plus having encountered them before , I in no way would want to be super intelligent. Normally when we make a decision or even make a voluntary move it comes after a mental process where our brain examines our options , checks for prior history , then estimates the positive , and negative repercussions of our options before deciding on an apropriate response . This goes on constantly , even as mundane as why we have a preference to use one hand predominantly.
In plain but not as nice language , every time we scratch our butts our brain looks into which hand it wants to use and why, based on the history of your butt scratching.
This also comes into play anytime you choose something from a list . What actually matters is that your brain makes these choices from the information stored with in it. The more information stored, the more involved the process becomes. Not that I would encourage stupidity, theirs more than enough of that.
I’ve noticed that smart people have more trouble making smaller decisions, maybe because the process they use to make grand decisions amounts to overkill , when it comes to the lesser decisions where there is no right or wrong answer. In other words smart people can be a little slow , I try and am patient with them , but I sometimes feel pity? For the dilemma of being too smart, for your own good.
To get into some of the other disadvantages of an overt mental capacities, I have to get into the second problem I have with Ascension and one of the main reasons to hope it never happens, telepathy, the thought that all our thoughts would be heard by everyone . Wouldn’t this be the last of our freedoms surrendered?
Then there is the other side , trust me you don’t want to know what I’m thinking. And 99 percent of the time I don’t want to know what any one else is thinking. I decided to post here some of my experience of delving into the minds of others.
First off I do and can read minds, sometimes it’s controlled , other times its like people are thinking aloud. Before you think I’m going all mistic on you it’s not like that at all. I attribute what ever it is to mostly three things, one I’ve had some fairly serious head injuries, in fact I have dents on my head , one from a 2 by 4. Two maybe the late 70's early eighties, Ask your parents or Garfield if you don’t know what I’m talking about, and three practice, practice , practice.
People who know me like to test me , usually its I cant remember the name of something, what is it? It’s weird but I can pull that name out of there heads usually first or second guess. I was at a party not long ago talking to a girl (Wahhoo) and she said there’s this song I really like , but I cant remember the name of it. And it was almost like I had a web page of her mind, I thought she looks like a semi rocker, so I mentally did a drop down of rock, and I thought shes probably more bubble gum , so I went easy rock, And bam her song popped right up.
Usually I work it like a mental exercise , when someone asks me, I shut off the thoughts in my mind , which in almost all cases is the key, you cant hear anyone elses thoughts if your’s are going. And from what I hear most peoples minds are going , thinking at furious paces, like they are using there thoughts like a background radio. That are always on. Think a second yourself, just listen for a minute to your brain, it’s a mess right? Loud with mostly garbage thoughts bouncing around, welcome to my world anyway. As I’m all mental today I’ll say that this is another process the brain does over and over. Turning that thought machine down and then off is the key to most mental exeresize including transendental meditation.
I’ll probably say this till the day I die , but If I can do it anybody can. Mostly I hear like the outer thoughts people are having like when they think about what they are going to say, if I’m in conversation long enough I get where I can hear them speak before they speak, like I say it could be the brain damage. I rattled my brains many a time. But a lot of times I get the answers to my questions as they think them.
I don’t go around trying to read peoples mind’s unless it could affect me, like when I deal with customers I can get past the crap and get to what they really want. It helps just to know a little about how they like or dislike. Sorry to my customers , but I never would go into the private thoughts in a persons brain , like there history. This is really just a step from what you do when you play poker, you try to read the other person.
Then there’s times when I just cant help it , I just here what people are thinking. Really mostly I don’t want to know, sometimes it can help. I’m getting to the part about once upon a time when it really creeped me out.

I was out filming with a buddy at a spot on the river. I was there to film a flood and whatever. We pulled up to a boat ramp to get out and shoot , there was a minivan already there. As I went about shooting a guy got out of the van and started talking to my bud. I eventually came over to where they were and looked at the guy and it was like getting another 2 by 4 to the head.
He looked normal your average face in the crowd, kind of quiet kept to himself, psycho. He smiled and he had the most horrible teeth I’d ever seen . I thought this guy’s wrong but live and let live. So I put some distance between what I then thought of as really just a kind of person I don’t want to be around.
Trust me I would of been long gone if my friend could of took the hint, but he kept right on chatting with the guy. That this guy was off was so obvious you wouldn’t have to mind read to figure out, even his minivan had curtains on the back windows.
That’s when I heard the guy think, he thought clear as talking that he was going to kill the fat one (my buddy) and then have some fun with the other one. Then were back to mental processes, I was laying out all my options, and attempting to make a mental impulse to my body in a fight or flight situation.
Right off the bat I should tell you that I’m not afraid to run. I think a lot of times running is good for you. I analyzed that he was between me and my ride , with a river on the other side. I figured last resort I could jump in the river , if he had a gun. Of course my buddies option was to hope someone avenged his death.
Then I processed the other particulars, one I would be responsible for the death of a friend, and 2 no telling how many next victims this guy has in his future. I ruled out calling the cops real fast, I doubt my hearing his thoughts would be admissible in court, even though if everyone reads minds this would change hence another freedom lost , the right to think what you want. This guy could think he’s going to kill me all he wants to, it was his right to be one very messed up puppy. Plus my cell phone was in my ride.
Back to fight or flight and fight was winning. If you cant run you might as well try fighting. Which for me means weaponing up. You can see my picture but I’m not nearly as big as I look. Sadly I know girls who can beat me up. So just like the caveman did I started looking for equalizers. And just like them my best choice available was a stick.

And while I’m sure my brain was mostly fueled by fear , the not as old as fight or flight process, but old thoughts , “what are you a man or a mouse”. That’s right another process , in fact many were going on , I was building myself up physically as well as mentally. I could of been so wrong but I was preparing to hurt this guy, not only that I figured my best shot was to walk up smiling and kick him in the nuts, strike first. Which goes against everything I believe in. Even fighting a rattlesnake I would give him first bite. I love pacifism its been great to me , I just wish everyone was.
If there’s an out to violence I will take it. I also thought if I let this guy go he’ll just pick out someone else. We could be hero’s , of course I had to consider the flip side, I could and have been wrong before,. In fact part of being mental is the trust you put in yourself. There had to be no doubt he was a serial killer, or at least was in training.
My next process that is mental to physical is that I opened or tickled my adrenal glands pumping that juice through my whole body, hoping for that extra strength that it gives, another thing that just requires practice, I use it for lifting and long days.
But it has to be controlled and I needed to be in control. I remembered what I always remember , that my fate is sealed and however I die is how I was supposed to go, so there’s no changing fate , only accepting it.
I controlled my breathing doing controlled counted movements, pushing the blood to the extremities flooding the entire body with oxygen. I also focused my mind on one thing . Most of these processes are considered involuntary but I steadied my heart rate , all these things that we all do , thousands of times, it’s just that I am conscience of it, which gives me some control over it.
In other words I was begining to think that Mr. Psycho killer didn’t know what he was getting into. That I knew he was going to do something helped, as I wrote earlier this was one creepy dude. Not to be a spoiler because of course he didn’t get me , it was close I’ve been close to death many times including drowning and I felt it then. It was also the danger. I film in the wilds and encounter critters all the time. There’s no large predators but we have poisonous snakes, and a few wolves wild dogs. Mostly when I encounter snakes I usually find that if I just go around or back, we never have any problems.
This giving them there space usually will get you through in almost all encounters, even humans, let them think that you backed up, they think they won and nobody gets hurt. I hope you know that I don’t take violence lightly and that I’m glad I didn’t I repeat didn’t feed this guy to the fishes, just as I’m glad he didn’t have some fun with me.
As I turned and walked over to them and looked straight into the guy’s face , another car pulled into the lot and a family got out to look around. Too many witnesses , I took advantage of an escape I guess working my way to getting to my van , and getting my friend away from the creep. I’m sure it makes for a stupid ending that I just got away, or that I let him go. I did stay long enough to make sure he left. As he was getting in his van I heard another thought “ you don’t know how lucky you are” , and this time I thought back to him “Neither do you” by the expression on his face I knew he got the message , and I hope that was part of his decision to leave .
If this story has a moral it’s that mostly you don’t want to know what people are thinking, but if you want to learn the first person to try is yourself. What goes into the process of your thinking? Even more what are you thinking? Not just the outer mile a minute thoughts that clog the brain but the deep down thought that everyone has . Not to mention the things we attempt to forget and repress. Most of your whole life is stored in the brain, would you really want that exposed to even yourself?
I guess I am anti -assencion , or maybe I’m smart enough to be happy with my small brain. After all the process of thinking is involved enough , the more information you have the longer it takes to process and make decisions. Once again I have rambled on far too long without a point or reason in site. Yet I think I’ll end here. Thanks for reading I know your thinking you could of spent your time . Peace and love B.
