BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Clairvoyance Connections with people?

I have found that there are times when I will think something right as someone else says it (or, upon occasion, I'll say something and they'll say "I just thought that"). Sometimes it happens to me with random people, but often it's with people I am very close to; it has only happened to me consistently with three people: my mother, my best friend (who's very like me), and my ex (we had a very close, serious relationship).

I haven't been able to figure out if it's just that I'm close enough to these people that I know them well enough to know what they're going to say, or if we're close enough that we have some sort of connection that I can know these things.

I'm inclined to think the latter, since it's not so much stuff like knowing how they'll react to a situation because I know their personality, but just down to things like making a statement to my best friend over instant messenger and as soon as I send it, receive a message from him with a question that my statement happens to be the answer to, or the time my ex and I, from across the room, made the exact same statement at the exact same time while in a meeting. There were times when I knew when my ex was going to call me or something along those lines, or I'd have the urge to sign onto my instant messenger at a weird time only to find that he happened to be online as well, or the time when he spontaneously drove to my house (from where he was a couple hours away at school) and tapped on my window; I was freaked out by someone tapping on my window in the middle of the night (my mom insisted it was the wind when I woke her up to tell her about it) but when he told me the next day that it was him, I admitted that somehow I instinctively knew it was him even though I had no reason to expect him to be there.

Other than that anomaly, I would not say I have any psychic abilities (other than a couple times in high school when I dreamed about someone and found out the next morning that they had died). I don't really have any sort of precognition, no other clairvoyance...just that weird connection to people really close to me and the occasional connect with someone else, and upon occasion getting "vibes" about people and their emotions or situations (though that could be explained as me simply having keen observation skills when it comes to peoples' reactions and emotions).

Any thoughts?

[color:"purple"]Hi Katja,

What you've just described is, pretty much down to the nub, Clairvoyance. We are just now finding more acceptance of these psychic abilities and as a result have scienctific testing validating exactly what you are experiencing.

As a Clairvoyant myself, I try to direct through classes, lectures, articles, etc. just this type of realistic approach (you detail this very accurately I might add) to help students reach their abilities without the distraction of imagination, fantasy, fear and ego.

These abilities, though different from what we speak of as talent in the everyday, are in fact pretty much down to earth, but extrememly valuable once you learn how to use them.

Look at having or developing this gift like anything else you might be very good at, in the same sense you would driving a car. If a car comes with cruise control or a fuel efficient driving mode, and you don't use them, ignore them even, you might get where you are going, but with a lot more cost, damage and time to you than if you had taken the opportunity to use the options for what they were intended.

The affirmations you have been receiving attention to are those acting as a universal sequence of validation. I'm almost done with a book book dealing with just this stage of
development and wrote almost exactly what you just did, regarding these. Basically, what I've found is that when these events make themselves known, and increase over time, it is affirmation the student is ready. Another affirmation for you <img src="/images/graemlins/beamedup.gif" alt="" />

After the Holistic fair this weekend, I will post some of the book in this forum so you can take peak. It's fairly basic, easy to read and may put you at ease regarding your gifts.

The title is "Echoes of Wisdom"

Good Post!!!

just one question: is clairvoyance innate or something we develop in ourselves as we grow up and interact with people?... Because there is a possibility that everyone can just learn it through human interaction and relationhips.

Acoosh/Eleise--
Your question on clairvoyance, whether it be innate or developed is BOTH. Psychic abilities are like fingerprints--so individual. So, some of us are born with certain greater or lesser psychic abilities and in different departments. Also, we are a product of our environment--alot of us have our psychic abilities trained out of us at an early age. But psychic ability is also like a muscle--the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

Hope that helps--

Thanks, it's good to know I'm not weird or imagining things. I wasn't sure whether to be skeptical of it or not. It certainly doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's sometimes REALLY strange.

[color:"purple"] This is a quick response, but less is more, right?

It is both innate, meaning each of us is born with the ability. It is learned in that we learn only what we focus on.

Example of this....

Each of us has an ability to learn an instrument, guitar, flute, drum, etc. If we don't focuss specifically or approach someone who may know more than our current experiences hold, we would plunk away at accidental notes we might hit and eventually build onto something that has a good sound to it. But if we wanted to refine it, we could get frustrated in how far along we move alone or have little in the way of directing our newly found gift for playing an instrument.

I have to agree with Eleise. I have a "mixed" number of abilities. Sometimes I can feel strangers emotions. It is very strong when this happens to me. I can also say something that someone is about to say before they say it because I hear it my head. I have also seen spirits. I saw this one lady while I was outside (by myself) about 2:00 am. I was talking to my neigbors and after they had gone in for the night. I sat outside on my porch just admiring the stars when I looked over to my left and saw a lady standing there. I would say she was from the early 1900's. She was a small framed lady about 20-25 years old. She was maybe 5'4"-5'5" inches tall. She wore a full length dress with long sleeves and a bonnet on her head. By the way she was dressed I would say she was either a slave girl or a servant. She must have stayed at least a full minute before she disappeared. I know she needed something but I was in awe and could not do anything but stare at her. This was my first full body manifestation.Everything takes me by surprise and I'm really not sure why that is.

No kidding! To this day I still find it amaizing when odd things happen.

Just a week ago (I still had my camera in hand from my daughter's birthday) a dragonfly balloon came from the corner of the living room and landed on the piano chair my daughter's recieved for her birthday. At first I thought it was a breeze, but remembered we shut the windows and doors because it looked like rain. So, though I felt a bit silly I said, "Hey, if you'd like your picture taken, why don't you go over to the couch where Ginger sleeps and I'll take one. It did, exactly on the cushion Ginger sleeps. To make it even more fun, Ginger hopped up on the other cushion sitting tall, as if she wanted to be in the picture too. Afterward the balloon went back into the far corner where it came and has not moved since.

I can identify a lot with this post. I've experienced this sort of thing most of my adult life, but used to put it down to fantasy. These days I'm looking at it a lot more closely with a view to developing my abilities in a 'controlled' environment.

This is a fascinating subject. I'd have to agree with phoenix and also say that its both. I might say its akin to the idea of witchcraft. Some people think its learned, and some think its hereditary. I think we can inherit an ability but if we fail to practice with it, it will never turn into anything more than just part of our genetic code.

I am discovering a unique bond with a friend that I don't consider close enough to spawn psychic phenomena and yet they keep happening exponentially. We're sort of opposites, but good friends. The other night I called her b/c my husband and I were going out to a mutually popular restaurant and left a message to tell her she should meet us there. She got the msg a few days later and cracked up laughing b/c we must have both been there about the same time and never knew it. Then yesterday morning I woke and no sooner than I sat down and thought "she and I ought to go to lunch soon", she calls me and invites me out to lunch.

I find myself finishing my husband's sentences (but that could be dismissed by our relationship). I have a friend in addition with whom I sort of have a constant connection. To such a point that I dream things he's mused over, or express a shared pain - for instance he's gotten sick to his stomach and we discovered it began with my menstrual cramps, or a shared pain in the same shoulder.

I have experienced some successes with telepathy with complete strangers, but usually its much more successful with people that I already have that link with.
