Wow! There's been a LOT said on this subject. Jones! What a Chicken Heart monster you unleashed on New York City! ;-) Let me add yet a few more pennies to the on-going fertile discussion of alleged mind-transference - is it real or is it Memorex. First, two personal experiences: (Experience ONE) Back in the early 90s I was driving down University Avenue in Madison one day after work when suddenly I had strong sudden impulsive urge to veer to the right and head over to my parent's house. (They conveniently lived within a mile of my own home.) I really had to struggle with this sudden impulse because I was sure I had other things I rather be doing right at that moment and I wondered if I was simply wasting my time with an unplanned visit right before dinner time. But veer right I did. When I entered the front door I discovered that my mother had just fallen down the basement stairs and had broken her right tibia. She was delirious. She had probably suffered a concussion as well. (Experience TWO) back in the 80s I was (once again) driving in my car thinking of nothing in particular when I suddenly began envisioning hot gaseous clouds of deadly radiation. I saw images of bright white steamy clouds of hot radioactive steam and/or smoke - and death. I hated those visions. I wondered why my imagination had suddenly become so morbidly transfixed on a horrible scenario that spelled death. Making things worse for me the imagery felt so personal. Why the hell would I want to personally imagine such destruction. I also wondered if I personally was going to experience some kind of a nuclear attack, probably from the Russians. (They were still a secretive country - USSR, under Gorbachev's rule.) After several "visions" I finally said "enough!" of this morbidity made an effort to purge them out of my mind. As far as I was concerned they were useless morbid imaginations. Nothing good would come from them. And I also didn't want to believe in the possibility that I was about to be "nuked." Best to remain blissfully ignorant! Several days later the world learned about Chernobyl disaster. Both of my personal experiences are obviously anecdotal in nature. But just try convincing me that both were nothing more than personal random experiences that just happened to coincide with external incidents. * * * * * Ok, and now, to put myself on the line so-to-speak, I shall relay one more final personal experience from approximately three to six months ago. Actually, this experience has yet to be played out, IMO. The experience was actually quite simple in nature. Nothing really all that profound, mind you, but at least it was more pleasantly experienced. It was a sudden and unexpected felt "conviction" - an emotionally felt state-of-mind that suddenly and inexplicitly swept over me. It was a sudden conviction that a new promising alternative energy "invention" and/or technology would soon make its debut. (Of course, "soon" is a relative term as we vorts have learned the hard way!) Having had these kinds of mundane-like "convictions" in the past I've learned to interpret them as random "hits". (I certainly wouldn't bet on them!) I ended up interpreting the experience as follows: I think it's possible my "sensory feelers" might have picked up on some individual's emotionally felt conviction, some individual and/or group that has been working within a controversial branch of the AE field for quite some time. I also got the impression that it came from an individual few of us Vorts have actually heard of, but I could be wrong. Perhaps I had randomly picked up on the emotions coming from an enthusiastic engineer who had just completed a successful hydrino generating test from the BLP's labs. Who knows!!! I speculate that what I picked up on was a random "hit" of the individual's emotionally felt conviction that he/she had had completed a special test, a test that had at least convinced themselves UTTERLY at that moment in time that they were on the right path, that they believed beyond a shadow of doubt that they had discovered a way (a path way) of generating a clean and abundant source of energy. But then, perhaps what they experienced was just that: An enthusiastic belief that they were on the right path. Perhaps after they stop celebrating their "success" and they take a closer look at the data, they may eventually discover that the findings may not be as impressive as originally perceived. Or perhaps the actual engineering involved that would allow their dream to manifest is not so forgiving. I just don't know. FWIW: I actually briefly talked about this personal "impression" within Vortex several months ago, so those who are curious you can probably find my ramblings in the archives. I believe Terry Blanton contributed a brief reply. As for me I'm just not motivated enough to dig through the archives to find out what it was that I actually said. Just lazy, I guess. Will it come to pass. Beats me. To be honest a skeptic would say my "experience" is WAY too vague to make any practical sense out of. And they would be right to conclude so. I have additional thoughts to say on the concept of INDIVIDUALITY and what that carefully constructed paradigm may influence our current discussions on ESP-like phenomenon, but for now I believe I've blathered on long enough. Time to get off the podium. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
