hey sorry i didnt provide any links i was watching hunger games lol.. i dont really have any credible sources, im not a scientist or anything, its just something i read about.. I keep forgetting that most of you here are scientists or science students and want proof and links lol.. Im pretty vague and random and annoying i know
.. perhaps animals use this energy field more effectivley than we do, as they seems to have amazing senses..
another random thought, i havent spoken to athiests before, i was wanting to find dawkings discussion forum if he had one but i guess most of you are athiest here... How would you explain telepathy or another one how would you define love, do you beleive love is an actual force or energy or a creation of our mind..
Xxx
It's cool, don't worry about it. You've actually paved the way for a rather interesting discussion about memory, regeneration and immortality.
You've seriously never spoken to atheists before? You're from the UK right? We're not exactly rare here.
I wouldn't explain telepathy because I don't think it exists, however there are certain things someone can experience to make them think so.
My mum's an identical twin and when I was younger she used to think there was a sort of telepathy between her any my aunt (her twin sister). My aunt actually once told me that when I was born she was driving to the hospital, and driving in the car she felt It. Felt that my mother had given birth to me. She just somehow knew.
Funnily enough I've experienced this somehow "knowing" with people, but it's always people I've known for a long time and am very close with. Sometimes I get a feeling they aren't doing so good, or this or that. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it isn't.
I also remember when my grandmother died. I was asleep, and I was dreaming. In my dream I was talking to my grandma. We spoke about a few things, one of which was my granddad, saying how we both missed him. And in my dream she died. Next thing I know someone is shaking me trying to wake me up and my sister's voice is saying my name. I was in that state where after being suddenly woken from a deep sleep you can confuse dreams and reality. I said "Is grandma dead?" and as soon as I said it I was passed that point and knew it was just a dream. But my sister went quiet. She didn't say anything, just looked at me for a moment, and then said "Yes."
I don't think any of this was telepathy. With my mum and aunt, they've sadly fell out and for a few years now haven't really had anything to do with each other. Now they aren't in contact this "ability" is gone. And it's what happen with me as well. These people that I know so well that I get feelings, a sense things aren't as they should be, if I loose contact with them for a while or forever these feeling cease. I don't think there's anything supernatural about it, it's just that when you know someone inside and out you pick up on things and recognise things on a subconscious level. That's why if the relationship ends you loose this ability, and you have to know them
very well for a good time before you can do this.
With me dreaming of my grandma's death, I don't think it was anything metahuman or supernatural, I think it was a coincidence. I've never had that happen before, I've never had that happen since. I've had dreams of loved ones, and sometimes I feel there's something wrong, and sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. It's about intuition in my opinion.
I actually remember my grandma tell me that when my granddad died, on the night of his funeral she told me she woke up in the middle of the night and my granddad was standing at the foot of her bed. She told me he said "Thank you" and then vanished. I asked her if she thought it was real, she said no. It was her mind playing tricks on her, a product of her grief.
In short I've never really seen or heard anything to make me give credit to telepathy. What I know about the brain and how our thoughts work make me think it isn't real. We can hook ourselves up to computers that can read our minds, maybe show snatches of what we dream, but one human to another I don't think it can happen.
As far as love goes, love is something very real. It's something hard to define. Love is created in our minds and at the same time is a force unlike any other. It's more than lust and different from obsession. It's fondness, tenderness, warmth, intimacy, attachment, endearment and so much more and words could never really do it justice. How do you know you love someone? You just know. I could sit here typing away for hours trying to define love, but I would fail. I can think about love logically, but I'll always see it through the eyes of a romantic poet.
