Sensory Awareness......?

I just go by the ole gut feeling about everything. It's saved my bacon for more years than I care to think about. Maybe I missed some good things but I will never know that I did so why waste time thinking about it. If it feels right or wrong best to go with it.

Although I have never had an experience like those spoken of here,I do believe that some people are "Gifted" with certain abilities. Hopeak/Hope/Sourdough I believe you might be just one of these rare individuals. Like OWVC I trust my gut. It has never got me in trouble, only kept me out of trouble. Usually it is ignoring my "Gut feeling" that gets me in trouble.

How moist or dry is it, what is the temperature like...What would your prey be doing right now....what are their basic needs...where should they be at that time of day to meet there needs, etc...

It is amazing how many times I've had these connections to wild animals after days of searching and obsessing over them. I've been walking along a game trail before, following a track...and then out of no where, I get the sense to turn around and look through my bino's at a particular spot on a hill, and sure enough a bull elk is standing there. Its crazy really. It always really impressed my clients though.

So many people go into the woods, and walk, drive or ride like they are watching TV....they just look at the scenary, but don't don't use their other senses to take in whats going on. The just travel along having images pass by their eyes, but they are thinking about work, past arguments, future engagements, Seinfield episodes they've seen etc... Basically, thinking about everything and anything other than their surroundings.

But, when you focus on the NOW, and focus on your surroundings and apply that focus to sensory awareness....the world seems much more pure and primal.

I guess this is what I call my "trance"......eyes open, but your seeing everything at once, the only thing that comes thru is any change in sight, sound, wind, light and movement etc.

That's a day or so after you get out of the "working life" to get to this point of settled down-ness (for lack of a better word).

I have learned to not fear it, the extra sense or what ever you want to call it.
I accecpt it, trust it, use it and be thankful for it....and like a lot of you, it seems, saved my butte in a lot of ways.

I have had a few times when I knew things were going to happen. Most times I didn't know what, just that something was different.

The morning of September 11th 2001 I woke up at about 3am PST, got dressed and went to the base operations center to visit a friend who works there, before going to PT. I have no idea why I got up and went, I just needed to. As we were visiting, we got the call about the Pentagon being hit. I did not go home for 3 days. I was there and knew the system, so I went right to work (had not done the job for years, but I did what was needed). Most folks could not get on base as we were in lockdown. Funny thing, I had thrown my back-up flyaway kit in the truck with me, so I had what I needed to operate for those 3 days (My main kit was up at another site and inaccessible). The really strange thing was, NONE of this was in any way a part of my normal routine. In fact, the operations center is on main base, and quite removed from my normal duty station (not even in the same unit or command), I just felt that I HAD to get up, get dressed, grab my bag, ad go visit my friend. It helped that I did, otherwise, he would have been pretty much on his own during the entire 3 days.

I've had a few moments of what you might call "hyper-sensitivity" in the woods, where I could hear and smell, and (to a lesser degree) see with clarity that blew my mind. But it doesn't make that interesting of a story.

During times of very intense prayer I have had moments where it seemed that my body and my surroundings totally dissapeared and it was like the only things that existed were my spirit and God's Spirit, talking together.

It is kind of hard to explain how I feel in these times. It isn't really like an out of body experience where I could see myself. It is more of a feeling of weightlessness - or more exactly - that I don't have a physical body at all. And even though my eyes are closed and I don't see anything in particular, I don't remember seeing the darkness that would naturally come with closed eyes. It is like I don't seeing anything, but it is not blackness or darkness. It is just nothing. During these times there seems to be supernatural quietness. Neither do I smell or taste anything. It is like all my senses - touch, vision, hearing, smell, taste - are completely turned off, and there is nothing left but what my spirit can sense. All that would distract me from communicating with God is stripped away.

I had a time like that last night, maybe the most powerful yet. Even after I stopped praying, I felt a power upon me for quite a while. It lingers still yet. I can only call it the Hand of God.

I realize that not everyone on her will subscribe to my spiritual beliefs, but I felt like I needed to share that. It is probably the most incredible thing I have ever experienced, and I expect that it will only become more intense.

hmmm...we'll talk about that baby, those shrooms and peyote have some other effects too....or so I hear.:innocent:

I know this is a REALLY old thread, but I have an experience that saved my life, or at least my mobility, just last winter.
I was cutting firewood with my dad, he had just felled a 2.5foot diameter White oak. My dad would cut away at the trunk while I picked up the logs and split them by the truck. While he was cutting at another limb though, I wouldn't go near the tree. He didn't ask what I was doing although I could tell he wanted me to get back to work. About 3 minutes later, one of the limbs busted into pieces and sent the trunk flying towards where the logs were. It would have crushed my legs at the very least.

I think we all have the ability to feel more then we think we can. Most people ignore the feelings. A few of us work to use and control them. I have been working on just paying attention to everything around me, people, places (i.e. corners and darker places). It makes a huge difference.

Nope. Uh uh. Nada. I've worked with guys that didn't know their left hand from their right. They were lucky to have made it through the day. We had one guy nick named "Dropsy" because whatever he took up the pole with him generally came down before he did. Guys that were directionally challenged. We had one guy that had to drive from S. Illinois to Bloomington, Illinois to pick up some microwave equipment. We figured he'd be back in about 8 hours. At 10 hours he called and needed funds to gas up his vehicle.

"Where the @#$$ are you?"

"When I seen the arch I knew I'd taken a wrong turn."

Nope, not possible.

Rick I... um.... well... Ok. I guess some people don't have it. Thats sad. As a whole people a pluged in to cell phones and ipods so they never have to use there eyes.

....or the gps in their cell phone. Just sayin'.

Well all I can figure is that we are far better connected to nature and time than we think. Nature is the force that drives everything, and we are just a part of it. Some of us are more in tune, and are able to perceive things even before they happen. We are all like atom revolving around a nuclei, all connected, and part of everything that surrounds us. That is the only explanation I could ever give to explain the phenomena.

If you're lookin' for a man hug, keep walkin'.

I love you too Rick, ( in a non brokeback mountain kind of way)! But If I want a hug, I have my girls!

That was sort of a kumbaya, we'll all connected, sort of a thing you had goin' there. In case you're wonderin', I'm the guy with the suit.
