Yes, but it clearly was not based on extrasensory knowledge. A skilled psychic knows how to work off of cues you give off, such as your manner and dress. The psychic then will start with general statements, such as "I see boulders," then might ask you if that's correct. You then give the psychic more information which is fed back to you. It's all done subtly enough that you may not know you have been "had," especially if you want to believe. Scientific evidence simply does not support psychic claims.

Broadly speaking, I would say that everyone knows what makes some people successful (talent, criativity, skills) and what keeps them successful (determination, hard work, innovation). However, there are some extremely successful individuals that lack moral strength and honesty. It is possible these people's true colors will show (someday, somehow). But it is also possible it won´t. In either case, there are two perspectives from which the above saying could be looked at: (1) from the outside, looking in; and (2) from the inside, looking in. In other words, acquaintances, agents or fans may focus basically on what they can get from those individuals' success (or skills). That´s why their character won´t be a factor. However, from the individuals' own point of view, it´s a totally different story. They know, deep inside, that their "success" doesn´t mean much. They know that "success without character is hollow".\n\nVery good question. It makes us wonder.

I haven't found anything yet with which I somehow can't find common ground.  Insanity, low self-esteem, harriedness, coping with broken bodies, (not on a regular basis, but yes, it has been part of my life), witnessing miracles, (there have been a few), learning to appreciate the tiniest good in someone, facing violence, laying on a remote beach, skinny-dipping at night, pulling leaches off my feet, stressful job, artistic liscence, court appearances, an audience yelling and clapping, (so what if most of them were half cut?) cops at the door, uncertainties in picking life's goals, man, you name it, I think I can understand it.  I think my life has been like those beatitudes.  I even understand hunger and thirst.  I understand emotional hunger and thirst.  I understand how our society got the way it got, I even understand how people USED to think.  I even can understand Shakespeare.  I thought I found a loop-hole in the molecular theory once.  Did I mention insanity?

Individuality versus state control I think. I read it a long time a ago.

Have you read his material about learning from a Yaqui\nmedicine man? I have had the experience he mentioned with\nan ally. An elemental type being that works with a warrior.\nIt has attacked me. And once, (acting aggitated.) I can usually\nonly hear it. It followed me for quite some distance\nacting exited.\nI turned a corner and was approaching some men out in the\nstreet talking, and cars parked with the lights on. Something\ntold me that my ally was warning me I would get jumped.\nSo where I normally would have walked on by and not\nshown fear. I decided to take a detour.\nOnce, I heard my ally in my home! And I told it if it behaved it could stay. And I felt the sensation of weight on my feet,\nas if a large dog laid on my feet.

All humans have the ability to be psychic/intuitive. We all each have a sixth sense about things all around us. Each person has various degrees of this skill. It is just like any other skill that we each all have. Some of us are better writers than others, some are better artists. Right some of us are born with various gifts like music, art, writing and psychic gifts. They all are carry overs from previous lives.\n\nHow do you explain a prodigy child having the gift of playing music without education? Same concept applies to psychic gifts. If you spend your life learning a skill, it always stays with you, your Soul to your next life.\n\nHaving psychic gifts can be viewed as a superior, egoistic thing. The key here is not to get too attached to them, but use them for a greater good, service to God. All saints, sages, enlightened beings are 100% psychic, but the reason why it is not mentioned is because it is egoistic to say that you have it, so they have no ego, therefore they are not mentioned.\n\nIf you read "An Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda, he talks alot about the psychic gifts of these Yogi's/Sages all over India and how some of them wasted people's time displaying psychic gifts while some truly helped people on their path to Self Realization. It's a classic book!\n\nI have seen my intuition develop greatly over the years without focusing too much on "I want to develop my psychic gifts". Rather I focus on "Who Am I?". When I really get to know who I am within, the gifts just naturally develop more and more on their own. I write about my journey and the gifts that grow on my 360 blog.\n\nOne should have a greater awareness of Who they are. That is the most important thing.

I understand what you are talking about. It seems like a strange phenomenon, doesn't it? But if you look at the more logical side, you could probably realize that when two people bond, they can begin to think alike. They finish each other's sentences or get the same idea at the same time. Although it makes everything less "magical" to view the more logical aspect of the matter, it is more comforting to know that you have bonded so well with this person.

Its possible...I've been witness to it.  (Well actually I'm from the US and what I witnessed is referring to over here)...\nIf someone is truly selfless and humble...they will not be corrupted..\nJust b/c something hasn't happened...doesnt meant it won't.\n\nAlso...power will only corrupt the ones who at heart desire power.  People do crazy things all the time to feel powerful...they do dumb things...mean things...and sometimes friendly...supportive things...\n\nSomeone who is selfless and humble and puts the interest in others before the interest of themselves truly...are often submissive...

The only way I know is spiritually.  What I do is visualize sending light to the person.  Some people specify a  color for the particular type of help, but I send white light, because it includes all colors of light.  And I just take a moment and as strongly as I can I ask the universe to direct light upon this person and to help them with what they are going through.\n\nGood luck!  Peace!

I don't have much experience with this, but I have been doing some reading in motivational psychology.\n\nYou might want to do a search on Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y management philosophies.  Basically, Theory X is a "control and command" type of management style and Theory Y is "growth" type of style.  You can also check out Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs".  Basically, the idea here is that you need to fulfill people's basic needs first: food, security, love/friendship, ego before they can start to think about other things and grow.\n\nAlso check out the Jan 21st issue of "The Economist", which talks about new ways of organizing American businesses.

Hi Brenda--let's put it this way: "Most" people who haven't got it don't believe in it.  I've no choice since I've got it.  Sometimes I wish that I didn't. There are various "categories"--one that is often painful to me, is the non-intellectual floating senses about someone, often at great distances, of "concern." I'm always COMPELLED to find this person; for some reason that seems almost serendipity, I do, & discover (without exception) either that they have died, or are in a very tenuous health/emotional situation. In the latter case I do "help" by simply listening, or being able to provide suggestions. I find this quite draining, however. Precognition is different in that I've prevented potentially fatal incidents, or been able to "warn" someone & direct them in ways that preclude what would have been a disaster. Not always! but often. I'll also feel a good "energy" & discover that all my friends are experiencing positive things & gaining insights. My "night" dreams, (there are many different kinds of dreams also), have given me profound messages. I do not have the single psychic ability my mother had. She knew the instant of someone's death. I'll never forget her running out into the freezing Wisconsin Winter night because she heard her brother calling her. We lived in a very rural area, no phone. The following day, my aunt drove out from the city to tell her he had died, & it was at the precise time she heard him. (She had many more experiences like this.) I've had many, many more, but shan't belabour them here. People who know me well have relied on me for the things that I "see" & sense.  Some people will scoff at the very idea of psychic abilities, just as they do about astrology, (I can perceive the 3 major signs in a stranger the moment I meet them, although I can't always be specific of "how" I do this). To the few people who "hassle" me--the disbelievers--I simply say that they aren't "required" to believe, & will NEVER get into a debate with them. I KNOW that I'm psychic, & just used these few rather general examples. I hope no one "jokes" about your question, yet I rather think that SOMEONE will. YOU know what you are, & that's truly all that counts, isn't it?\n\n*** Just looked at your answers. "Amy" must know something about you that I don't; your question asked what others believed, not to tell you if you are. But ThatLady made me aware I hadn't mentioned that I'm only a "receiver." No further comments needed....

I'm only going to take the example of constructive and caring criticism in an attempt to view our own craziness regarding critics:\n \nIf the ego has a problem sometimes accepting our own faults, all the more reason to have a problem with other people pointing at them. \n\nAlso the fact that ALL mortals care about what people think about them...yes, in different levels but I would dare to say that even in the smallest degree, EVERYBODY cares about what other people think of them. One example: Have you noticed that even in the case in which a person is as free and careless as you can be, they make sure people know they don't care about their opinion? That's caring about what people think!!...(and "they should think and know that I don't care about them"). \n\nAnd finally, the fact that even if it comes from the best intentions and love, we may feel it in some way as invasive; we think that people don't notice our faults as much as we do, we know our selves better than anybody right? \nSo when they tell us our faults is a proof that they know us too, sometimes even better than ourselves because their opinions don't come loaded with defensive mechanisms, is just observation.\n\nI personally like constructive criticism, is an opportunity to grow and learn if we allow it to be....

Methods and philosophies abound along with consultants and consulting companies willing to take your money. The current methodology is what the current favorite of the consultants happens to be leading to the program of the year for larger companies. To me, they are all transactional analysis wrapped up with pretty bows and ribbons. I've always tried to go back to what I consider the tried and true. It has stood me well over 40 years in supervision and management.\n\nTransactional analysis, commonly known as TA to its adherents, is a psychoanalytic theory of psychology developed by psychiatrist Eric Berne during the late 1950s.\n\nRevising Freud's concept of the human psyche as composed of the Superego, the Ego and the Id, Berne postulated instead three "ego states", the Parent, Adult and Child states [1], which were largely shaped through childhood experiences.\n\nUnhealthy childhood experiences could damage the Child or Parent ego states, which would bring discomfort to an individual and/or others, in a variety of forms including many types of mental illness.\n\nBerne considered how individuals interact with one another, and how the ego states affected each set of transactions. Unproductive or counterproductive transactions were considered to be signs of ego state problems. Analysing these transactions, according to the person's individual developmental history, would enable the person to "get better". Berne thought that virtually everyone has something problematic about their ego states and that negative behaviour would not be addressed by 'treating' only the problematic individual.\n\nBerne identified a typology of common counterproductive social interactions, identifying these as "games".\n\nBerne presented his theories in two popular books on transactional analysis. As a result, TA came to be disdained in many mainstream mental health circles as an example of "pop psychology". A light rock song, "Games People Play", reinforced the idea of lightweight inanity.\n\nTA was also dismissed by the conventional psychoanalytic community because of its radical departures from Freudian theory. However, by the 1970s, because of its non-technical and non-threatening jargon and model of the human psyche, many of its terms and concepts were adopted by eclectic therapists as part of their individual approaches to psychotherapy. It also served well as a therapy model for groups of patients, or marital/family counselees, where interpersonal (rather that intrapsychic disturbances) were the focus of treatment.\n\nThe more dedicated TA purists banded together in 1964 with Berne to form a research and professional accrediting body, the International Transactional Analysis Association, or ITAA. The organization is still active as of 2006.

Competitive altruism.\n\nPeople in our culture compete with each other to see who can be the most tolerant, accepting and altruistic.  This is especially true of those situations where the person has no direct cost to themselves.  The point here is they want a reason to feel superior to others because they don't feel worthy enough to be accepted just as themselves.  They don't feel good enough so they need some confirmation that they are better than others.\n\nThis is so strong that they deny the obvious (example, AIDS is widespread in the homosexual community because of depraved behaviors).  They tend to disdain the person who points out a truth like this.....until they catch AIDS from their spouse who is a closet homosexual, that is.\n\nBasically, the entire insanity that is liberalism are evil marxists exploiting this phenomena of competitive altruism in people.  They use neurosis to turn our strengths into a weakness.  The solution is, of course, to not be neurotic.
