I'll subscribe to that theory over REMY'S intellectual mambo-jumbo......

Call it what you want, you two are dead on. You develop it more if it's situational as in jungle warfare or working in a bad area of town. I don't mind being wrong sometimes but I can tell you everyone within a city block and what threat they may be. I worked at night in a large city, not in the best area and practiced what I brought back with me every night and had only 2 or 3 problems in 15yrs. Just don't let your mind wander and stay alert. You can avoid problems no matter where you are.

That talks about what it is, which is fine, REMY'S "intellectual mambo-jumbo" talks about how to use it, refine it, control it, you know if you're capable of cognitive...oh never mind.

We are the evolutionary result of untold generations of being both prey and predator, ever refining, molding, adapting our needs, perceptions, behaviours to the ever changing environment.
Those who came before us that were unable to adapt, improvise, overcome were themselves culled from the genetic pool.
Awareness is the ability to detect, interpret a whole multitude of information that come to us through our diverse senses and act/react to it (information) whether you realize it or not; like trial and error. Those who most correctly respond to this process get to live another day.
Eventually, we learn to automatically process this information at the subconcious(sp) level and we call it a "gut feeling".
Its nice to be alive.

OK, I get the current time, sense of danger. But how do you explain an awareness of danger that will happen in 35 minutes. With no current clue's sensed or not. Where does that come from....?

**lukegail** · 10-29-2008, 04:50 AM

ok here's what i think goes on. i'm prepared to be lampooned for writing this, and i don't even know if i believe it myself. but for conversation's sake...

i think that all esp phenomena, including premonition, simply results from subconscious interpretation of subtle sensory information. i think the 6th sense is just our ability to hyper-process the 5 others. i believe we are highly sensitive instruments, capable of powerfully interpreting massive amounts of data incredibly quickly and accurately.

pheromones. spectacular feats of human echolocation. perfumery. wine-tasting. braille. a master in any field can make observations and predictions with certainty that seem impossible to outsiders. anybody that has worked with people for a long time, for instance, knows that massive amounts of sensory data (scene analysis, body language, voice, etc.) is crunched and put to use instantly to invoke the right tone of voice, choice of words, etc. to arc toward desired outcomes.

i have an old friend who practiced sensory awareness fairly intensely while in law school to be a trial lawyer (it wasn't part of the curriculum). he noticed after a while that he could do things like smell waves of sweat odor produced when people in the courtroom experienced acute stress. it makes sense to me that an experienced and talented trial lawyer would eventually come to pick up on cues like this subconsciously. you know the responses you get from people being interviewed about being in the zone, whether in sports or whatever - "i don't know, i was just going with the flow..." "i just knew i had to..."

anybody ever read that book blink*?

so to extend this further...
you know the "butterfly effect?" the butterfly wing flap causing a hurricane?
anybody that's been tracking for a long time feels at home with the idea that everything is a doorway to everything. the way a twig is nibbled, when taken in context, can reveal so much. the color of a leaf, the sound of a bird, the movement of insects. if we studied these carefully we would eventually be able to explain our rational behind the predictions they supported. hypothetically, we might learn about what happened to cause soil chemistry changes in the area, exactly where that bear is and what mood it's in, or what the weather is going to do 3 days in the future, respectively.

so this seems like a stretch, but considering the alternative explanations, i think it's at least worth considering.

any ideas?

But, sometimes everything changes, time changes, it is just different the time that is. Like having one foot in a 4th or 5th dimension. The sounds are different.

I have wondered about the parallel of the experience of floating above and slightly in back of ones own body and to what extent that is somewhat like the the shaman who can see through the eyes of a hawk, where the caribou are, or what weather is coming from afar.

Lukegail, Have you ever seen the movie "Altered States" with William Hurt & Blair Brown...? If not, you might enjoy renting it some rainy stormy day.

Some people think they will be ridiculed if they talk about experiences they have had like this. I don't know if there is an explanation, or if there is, that I could understand it. It seems that "out of body experiences" are more common than I was aware of. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-body_experience

**Sourdough** · 10-29-2008, 07:41 AM

Which raises the question: "Who Are You"....."Who Are You".....are you the the body or are you that which is out of the body...? My experience has been that, I can "NOT" leave my body at will, but the few times it has Just happened, I could control moving back and forth while it is happening.

**crashdive123** · 10-29-2008, 07:56 AM

I have not had an experience like that. I have talked to people that have and "we" still don't understand. I do believe that we have spirit guides. Sometimes we listen, sometimes we don't or don't know how to recognize what we are being shown. Is that related.......I don't know.

Thanks, Crash: I had never read anything about it. I kind of feared they would lock me up in a padded room if I ever talked about it. Always good to know there are plenty of other strange people.....

I have had spirit guides. Jack Daniels and he brother Yukon Jack, they can turn into bad spirits. And their guiding skills are questionable....

My belief is that things 35 min ahead of us still give off some clues wether we acknowledge them or not our senses seem to some again more then others. Again science has a name for it . Law enforcement uses some of these gifted people to help on cases months and even years later.

**crashdive123** · 10-29-2008, 08:18 AM

Ah - I remember those brothers well. Lately it's been the brother and sister that have been visiting - Arther and Bertha ----- you know, the Itus family.
