Loud Thoughts or Everyday ESP
Posted: Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Loud Thoughts or Everyday ESP - Raja Afrika Evolution InstitituteWhen I was 12 I began to have a lot of what I thought of then as 'Insights.' Ideas that would occur to me randomly, seemingly out of nowhere that would 'feel' true.' I am going to guess that this coincided with the onset of puberty. One such thought that occurred to me when I was 12 was that it was important to be mindful of my thoughts; that it was important to not think 'too loud' or someone else might pick it up. 

I have always had an expressive face. This used to be the Bain of my existence because as my friends would frequently say my face was 'an open book.' However I was always sensitized to the thoughts and emotions of other people and was dubbed a 'sensitive soul' early in life. Later these beliefs about myself resolved into the feeling that thoughts and emotions can (and frequently are) transmitted.

I still label my beliefs on this subject 'Theory;' subject to change at any time. My theory is that when we go through our daily life 'in our heads' focused intently on some thought or idea, that we are like broadcasting towers, putting our emotional energy out onto the ether for others with receptive antennas to pick up. Conversely there are those of us who through practice, experience or sometimes trauma have learned to become sensitized to the emotional state of others; to keep from triggering a reactive parent for example. It is my theory that thoughts and emotions are transmitted and received by each of us, every day, all day, on a mostly subconscious level. I do not believe that distance is an impediment to this transfer; that those with whom we have a 'connection' have the ability to communicate with us across distances (time & space). Mothers who suddenly become worried about their children. Friends and family who call us 'out of the blue' when we are in distress or when we are extremely happy. Loved ones who know what their partner is doing without any physical way to know (via the 5 acknowledged senses).

Lately I've begun to wonder what role cell phones and our constant immersion in radio signals might play in this transmission. Have you noticed that you knew you were going to receive a call or text before it came? I personally noticed that my cellphone has a subtle vibration while it is sending and receiving data and I suspect that my body has clued into that signal. But how often do you know 'Who' is calling or texting you, even before you have received the call or text. Many of us have been immersed in radio frequencies most of our lives. The last two decades however have witnessed the advent of the 2-way signal broadcast through the air. Pagers, text messages, cellphones, emails and more. Is it possible that we have become physically sensitized to these signals? To even use them without directly using our cellular devices? On a 'psychic' level as it were.

I have never believed that there was this special thing called psychic powers that only a chosen few have. Rather I believe that there are senses, senses acknowledged and senses not yet understood. Senses with varying degrees of sensitivity from gross to fine. Sensing the dense (construction noise across the street) and sensing the less dense (sub-vocalizations of someone standing next to us). Each of us having developed our different senses to various degrees. Like the Blind person with excellent hearing. I believe that introverts are likely good receivers of psychic information and that extroverts are likely good broadcasters. I believe that good listeners probably have an easier time developing clairaudience (psychic hearing) and clairsentience (psychic knowing) and that good speakers and dynamic personalities have an easier time developing the power of projection (projecting thoughts and feelings onto others). Well, IMO this is a matter for each of is to decide and up to each of us to try to reach our own understanding of 'what is going on.' But know that I believe that each and every one of us is psychic and I only ask that you meditate (sit with) this one question: Where do your insights come from?
