    Its strange most of my life i have always gone with my instincts and they have proved most valueble, for instance i seem to sense things that will happen on a daily basis and most of the time my instincts are right.

    Like today i knew my landlord was going to evict me so he could renovate his house and i was right, today i got call to say he,s given us notice to leave.

    Also few years back i got robbed, and for some strange reason i knew my so called best friend did it,and days later i found out he had robbed me.

    I seem to pick up a vibe from somewhere almost as if someones telling me something thats happening or going to happen

    Its strange it must be some kind of sixth sense

    Why didnt it work though when i was fooled by jws

    Theres plenty more i could tell you.

    Kind of works off the principles of "ki" energy, when people are charged to change your life in their mind, you sometimes feel the direction of their energy as it penetrates your life before they even say anything. The change or attention has a vibrational feel to it that can be transform into instincts or images that make sense to you and you alone.

    Then again, to some what I just said is a load of crap. :)

    RE: Kenpodragon

    You were spot on about what you said, i agree with the vibrational feel being transformed into instincts, i really do feel that.

    But are there only a few gifted ones.

    I think each mind speaks its on language through images, and if we take the time to examine it. We fine tune that instinct. I think people who see in images naturally have a natural advantage, but I feel everyone has the ability if they work on it.

    The real trick is translating and learning the language of the subconscious mind.

    That "instinct" that you're talking about can be enhanced, enlarged, sharpened. It's the voice of your real self speaking through the right brain. The trick is to get the left brain to cease it's constant chatter long enough to hear what is being said by the small, still voice within. It takes practice and effort, but the left brain CAN be controlled so that more information can be received through the right brain. Kenpo is certainly right in what he says, IMO. Meditation is one of the ways you can help the left brain learn that it's not the center of the universe, as it obviously thinks.

    I think everyone has that ability. Some just do it better, so to speak. Some, like me, need to focus and work on it. Come on, look back at our humble beginnings as a species. We went from chasing large animals off of cliffs to eat to creating fax machines(something I still find quite fascinating!!!). Who's to say what is to come yet? Now that we have made our physical lives more convenient, perhaps we can begin to look at our "other" abilities not fully understood.

    Interestingly some neuroscientists have said only a small part of our brain is being used, i think i heard it was about only 13 percent of its potential was being used.

    So thinkin about this i wonder what is hidden in this unlocked potential of our brain

    I remember asking this to the jws, they said due to imperfection jehovah has limited our intelligence to only a fraction of its real potential mmmmm

    maybe we wont need phones in the future

    I sometimes think with the advancement of technology we have allow our left brain to win. I also think we start to let outside sources do the thinking for us and thus loss the imagination of our right brain. Some of my post peaceful and thought provoking moments can be when I am sitting in the woods next to a mountain lake, with the most advance piece of technology being the matches I will use to make a fire.

    The people of old really had something extra in their thinking, that I feel we lost as a culture. They relied more on their senses, and they learned to listen to the inner thoughts and images their mind sent them through nature. I think the advancement of man will have a lot to do with backing up and figuring out what was left along the way.

    Just my thought

    This is false:

    http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percnt.htm

    Here is a snippet:

    1) Brain imaging research techniques such as PET scans (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) clearly show that the vast majority of the brain does not lie fallow. Indeed, although certain minor functions may use only a small part of the brain at one time, any sufficiently complex set of activities or thought patterns will indeed use many parts of the brain. Just as people don't use all of their muscle groups at one time, they also don't use all of their brain at once. For any given activity, such as eating, watching television, making love, or reading, you may use a few specific parts of your brain. Over the course of a whole day, however, just about all of the brain is used at one time or another.

    2) The myth presupposes an extreme localization of functions in the brain. If the "used" or "necessary" parts of the brain were scattered all around the organ, that would imply that much of the brain is in fact necessary. But the myth implies that the "used" part of the brain is a discrete area, and the "unused" part is like an appendix or tonsil, taking up space but essentially unnecessary. But if all those parts of the brain are unused, removal or damage to the "unused" part of the brain should be minor or unnoticed. Yet people who have suffered head trauma, a stroke, or other brain injury are frequently severely impaired. Have you ever heard a doctor say, ". . . But luckily when that bullet entered his skull, it only damaged the 90 percent of his brain he didn't use"? Of course not.
