The Universal stream - I like it.

Would make the internet redundant? And ESP and religion are two different topics.

I don't think ESP can tell you lotto numbers, I think it can let you send and receive "messages" or images, of others.

@DaveRampey why exactly could it not send, or allow me to sense, the powerball combo? Says who? Stupid useless "talent".......

@AnneWimsey because know one knows the numbers ahead of time. ESP lets you sense whats happening now.

@DaveRampe sorry but you do not sound as if your experiences have been anything like mine. Mine have involved some foreknowledge, so why not lottery winners?

so you saying that early man, like Neanderthals communicated by ESP and then lost that ability because they learnt speech instead? is that not a backward step in evolution ? and what is that about ants? they use endorphins and movement to communicate, similar to bees, not ESP

@magicwatch - no - long before that. If you believe in Evolution then you must understand that in most of our history we did not have speech. Im saying that in our history, that we probably communicated like the ants do. And im not convinced that ants communicate like you say - they do have antenna - maybe they send and receive messages with them. But since we developed speech we don't rely on those abilities.

@AxeElf Not really. You have to be able to control it. If I won even once that big at a casino, I'd be banned. The way to win big at games is to LOSE, leading fellow players on, then sneak and win, acting as though it was an accident.

My son used to do this as a kid, but I can't control it..I used to try desperately to lose when I was little, but it was no use, and my friends told me I couldn't play, so I gave up playing all games of chance.
My daughter uses ESP to ask the race horses who will win when she bets at the track, but she does as I showed her, setting a win limit before she goes, so she's not ripping off Keeneland Race Track.

I also got tired of not being able to wear a watch and I wanted to stop just "knowing" the time because some people began to hint that I was a witch, so I blocked that also, deciding that I could wear a watch, and from then on, and I could.

Using psychic stuff puts me at risk of angering those around me, so I suppress it.

I'm part Cherokee, and in my tribe I'd be trained as a shaman, and my daughter is sort of a shaman in the tribe group she recently joined.

I still communicate with animals when I need to, like when I bought a wild Asian Fairy-bluebird and it was terrified.
I had to mentally explain things to him, and show him in my mind how to fly in and out of the cage, and he did. After that, I could just think to him to fly back in the cage, and he would.

I'm currently living in Thailand, and here, many people, including my students, are so psychic, it's scary. Thai kids who didn't even know English, would start saying a new English word aloud before I could even start to write it on the board, when making a new vocabulary list. I would wish for something and a Thai friend would show up and hand me the item. I suppose it's because most people here meditate.

@AxeElf One power I wish I could control is teleportation. I used to do it frequently, as well as my daughter, but only if we didn't realize we were doing it, LOL! When our speedometers were broken, it only took 20 minutes to travel to nearby cities, like Cincinnati, or Louisville, but when we got new cars, once we could see how far we'd gone, the trips went back to taking several hours each way.

Sometimes my husband and I would start driving off on a trip of several hours, and within ten minutes, we were arriving, but it wasn't something I could make happen..it just happened. My daughter had similar things happen to her. That's one power I'd LOVE to be able to control.

@AxeElf
If nobody has claimed the prize, it's because most psychic people have little to no interest in entertaining people. I only used ESP or asked for answers with people who asked me to do it, When I was still religious, once people found out I could do this, I was constantly consulted as a "prophet."

I only seem to have the answers when asked, because I don't like to invade the psyches of others. It feels like a violation of privacy, and I only would do it if someone asked me to check with someone else, as a favor, like one man asked me to find out why his ex wife was threatening to move out of state with their kids.

I hated to do it, but cautiously entered her mind (she lived in another city but time and space don't matter) and found out her brothers had abused her as a child, and she was now afraid that her ex husband would abandon her, since he had a new girlfriend. I advised him to tell her that he would always give her child support and that he loved her, and that solved the problem. Plus he asked discreetly and found out that it was true, and that his ex had had to have therapy for being molested.

@AxeElf I am afraid to practice teleportation though, because the thought hits me that I've always teleported while driving in a car, and if I accidentally did while on foot and suddenly found myself in another country, I could be in a world of trouble. My daughter once spontaneously teleported while walking ten blocks late at night in a dangerous neighborhood. She only walked one block and suddenly realized she'd arrived. She probably unconsciously made that one happen, but I don't know how to control teleportation and don't want to end up in the US, without my passport.

@AxeElf No, you're not. I don't particularly care if you or anyone else believes me. The US people are that way, but in other countries, and even in our tribe, such powers are taken for granted. Go on back to your TV.

Humans can, the blind often learn this skill naturally. Now seems like a good time to promote some of my research [scholar.google.co.uk]

And none did, ESP foiled again!
