Extrasensory Situational Awareness

[wiesiek]

sure thing Doc,
I have just mixed feelings about such "new age of> achieving <system/s/", /i`m too old?/

much harder "embracing the emptiness"
by
paying attention on small body movements ,

anyway
if we could compare "new age geek" and somebody on traditional path...
in mean time: if somebody like it hot, let it be...

Most of the ideas and methods presented in this thread are very old indeed, enjoying popularity even in ancient times. Only the way in which they are sometimes marketed today can really be said to be 'New Age'.

An issue I take with the New Age Movement is that by taking practices and philosophies piecemeal, there's never a coherent system that you can dissect, comment, or evolve upon. Any perceived argument can be countered by "Oh, I don't believe that, it's just something Bailey/Blavatsky/Oprah said".

Additionally, since the practices of the New Age are almost by definition in the public domain and play down the presence of the Guru/Teacher/Lineage, there's never any depth in the practices. They lead one to believe that serious spiritual practices can be done in 5 minute spurts, between television advertising breaks, instead of the unrelenting pursuit of Truth present in the world's great contemplative traditions.

There is no doubt in my mind that most of the methods or techniques presented thus far in this thread are best learned from an experienced, competent teacher, and thereafter refined with their guidance over a reasonable period of time, much as one would best learn and refine good martial art methods and techniques. Sadly, as also seen in the martial arts today, a proliferation of mass media material is openly and easily accessible. This generates the illusion of probable success solely through self-directed study and personal experimentation, without the guidance of any teacher, coach or mentor.

In presenting information here, it is always my intention to merely point out possible avenues of further research and investigation. I hope that a more profound understanding of the various phenomenon related to the deep, subconscious mind will result. For those who choose to accept the possibility of extraordinary mental phenomenon like extrasensory situational awareness, I suggest pursuing such experiences in a safe and structured manner, preferably with the guidance of an instructor. Properly approached, the rewards of such studies can be many.

Whether your personal interest lies primarily in using deep meditation, contemplative prayer, self-hypnosis, auto-suggestion, mental visualization, verbal affirmations, or all of these methods, and others as well, it's a good idea to at least consult with someone who already uses such methods successfully before plunging too deeply into unfamiliar practices.

Steps to Develop Your Intuition:

Become a student of human behavior. Observe & listen to them. Communicate with them.

Give yourself permission to see things as they are unencumbered with your fears, values, hopes, and personal agenda. Intuition comes from this. Like a detective, spot patterns and see exceptions to patterns. How they look when they are feeling certain things. How they behave in diverse situations when having those feelings.

Build your intuition data bank. Embrace this input as non-measurable data. It crosses over time and space. Gather it to store and reuse in the future for synthesis and reapplication. Storing information at an unconscious level is a big part of intuition.

I was as a young man involved with a woman who's grandmother had some training in the western occult traditions as she knew several folks who were in the Golden Dawn. So she had been raised with this stuff and taught some Kabbalsitic path workings (meditation) to me. But I have for years studied anything about the subject of perception and mind-power that I could find as well as things people have taught me. Standing Practice, done outside helped quite a bit when I did it for enough time. I also worked for one year as a community organizer in St. Louis Mo., in one of the years (there have been several) where that city had the nations highest violent crime rate. You had to develop intuition in that line of work because sizing up folks and projecting to them was necessary for personal safety.

Anyhow, when the guy with the gun came into our studio, THAT training, IMO was the biggest help to me and might have saved my life, so don't let anyone tell you that it is of no use. It can be very useful in any number of situations.

Most people think of themselves only as physical beings with intellectual capabilities and emotional undertones, but have little or no awareness of their subtle intrinsic energy. Many even fear feeling such energy, because doing so forces them to re-adjust their model of reality to acknowledge and include a spiritual aspect of being also.

However, whether consicious of the process or not, your subtle inner energy manifests the reality in which you live. This includes your spiritual path, your mental perceptions, your emotional responses, and your physical experiences. The quality of this energy resonates with people, places and circumstances of similar kind by the law of attraction. Thus, to change any of these requires an inner shift in your vibrational resonance on all four levels of personal reality. In other words, real change in any area of your life, on any level, only occurs with a change of perception regarding the reality of that which you wish to change. This is also the foundation and source of extrasensory situational awareness!

Telepathic communication is apparently an attribute of intelligent life throughout nature. We are all capable of communicating without words or intellect, and do so regularly in a variety of ways. Personal clarity of mind is essential to using this natural ability successfully, so as to avoid discriminatory judging and blaming of self or others in the process.

Passive receptivity of mental activity from external sources, undistracted by internal personal discriminations and value judgements, is key to allowing the manifestation of extrasensory situational awareness when and where it is needed. A generally calm, quiet mind is a more alert mind, and is much more likely to intuit negative or discordant mental energy projected from outside sources, especially that which isn't perceived through the normal physical sense perceptions.

It's always more about efficiently developing the subconscious ability to allow this to happen, rather than consciously trying to make it happen!

Non-verbal communication can be chemical -- such as in pheremones -- with others picking up the signals through olfactory and other neural receptors. Animal urine is a vehicle for this, as well as sweat, saliva and lacrimal fluid. Some animals such as ants exude chemicals that communicate with their hivemates as to the location of food. Such chemicals also signal the presence of rival/enemy groups of ants.

Communication can also be visual... as in the non-cognitive parts of our brain using visual cues in body- and facial expression to interpret others' intentions and moods. Among certain animals such as ants, biochemical sensory communication (related to our olfactory version) is common, in which animals. Visual and tactile communication is also common in insects, such as the "bee dance" that honey bees do to communicate location of food flowers, and ants touch antennae and vibrate them to send code-like signals of communication.

Electric eels and some other species of fish can create electrical charges that are emitted into the water, which serves as a medium of communication to attract mates or establish "ownership" of territory.

However, there is no documented evidence that humans or any other creature can transmit thought or other "telepathic" messages through the air from brain to brain. Chemicals and mechanical vibrations exuded and detected by nerve receptors, yes.
"Thought waves," I don' theen' so.

Nor is there any conclusive proof that telepathy doesn't exist.

Nonetheless, the fact remains that numerous psychological studies involving biofeedback monitoring of current anxiety and stress levels in test subjects of every variety, while viewing photo images on a monitor, have repeatedly shown that the vast majority of people register a marked increase in mental anxiety and physical tension immediately BEFORE negative images of violence, death, deformity, or disease randomly appear among a series of calming and relaxing beautiful images.

Additionally, many people experience inexplicable thoughts of close friends or loved ones living on the other side of the planet immediately BEFORE receiving a phone call from exactly this person!

These and other similar examples cannot be attributed merely to "chemicals and mechanical vibrations exuded and detected by nerve receptors".
