Psychic Stuff - Long Post - ^^;;
Wow, we all have so many ideas on psychic abilities.
To put my 2 cents in, I believe psychic abilities exist. Some people are born with them, some develop them. Not all psychic people are good people. Hmm...
I agree with Yumeria saying "having extra-senses is no different than having physical ones". I believe they are an extension of the physical senses.
Ex. Clairaudience = Hardcore awareness of sound
My personal experiences are varied. Sometimes if you're aware of what's going on around you without talking to yourself in your head or without having a song going on interally, you enter the psychic state of mind and things start to kinda shift. Twice when I was in that zone and I didn't necessarily "read" someone's thoughts but it was as if I felt their mental process and knew exactly what they were thinking. Weird, yes. It's a matter of awareness and IMO you'll always doubt psychic abilities until you've had experiences yourself. There are so many psychic things. "Scanning" people (interalizing them and getting an idea of what they are all about), psychic dreams, moving objects with your mind, levetation....maybe that's going too far. :P
And to defend the psychics that are blamed for not preventing world disasters, sometimes if people pull off major things it throws off the tempo of our....dimention. It may cause a shock and make the world more worse off than it naturally may be. It reminds me of whiplashes... (that's just a thought)
As far as de ja vu experiences, it may be that parrallel lives exist. Like you're living in the past and the future symotaneously in some "deep" part of yourself.
BTW - I'm not a very developed psychic. But, I'm working on it.
BTWW - Always remember not everyone is open to knowing you're working on psychic abilities or you are a psychic. My own mom thinks psychics are possessed. ^^;; Yeah, that sucks.
