Do you believe in Extrasensory Perception?

There are obviously wheels within wheels in creation, human intelligence, and ingenuity. But some are supposed to possess extrasensory perception that the normal person does not have. Do you believe in ESP? I have met few who seem to mind read what others think. I met a stranger a few years ago and I was guarded when I was talking to him. But he was able to understand what I had in mind more than what I was really asking him. I feel we all mind read to some extent to understand another. We think also of the unsaid. We connect with others at different levels due to the comfort levels we reach and needs. Have you had any experience with ESP, the supposed sixth sense? I do not seek out such persons as some are charlatans out to take advantage. Image: ESP from Pixabay

Yes, there are the few who seem to have this talent and even make a living out of it - siva

Sort of. I am not an expert by any means but I feel I can read people pretty well. I once went to a psychic and she was extremely perceptive and gifted.

I know some have deep faith in psychics. My friend told me he witnessed a faith healing - siva

No, I don't believe in such things. Some people are very perceptive and can interpret body language, for example, which other people don't even notice. There is nothing supernatural about it.

I can't say that I have had that experience with anyone, but I do believe that some people have that ability.

Yes, though I think science is ambivalent on this issue - siva

@DianneN The real issue is there are charlatans out to deceive the gullible. They try to keep us under their control and dance to their tunes for commercial reasons. I keep a safe distance from anyone who claims this gift - siva

I agree, maybe they have a sort of sixth sense. I know few who are good mind readers - siva

No i haven't experienced it yet, nor came upon a person who can read minds. I don't want to be with one. He might read what I am thinking of him.

I understand your discomfort. Some claim to have such powers but are up to no good; they are out to cheat - siva

I haven't had any experience with ESP @Shiva49 , but I do think there are those that have strong minds and can sense things that most of us can't.

I think some are inborn with some element of ESP while few acquire the skill with their perseverance and inquisitiveness - siva

@Shiva49 what i mean was the possibility of having the ESP or the third eye.

I am comfortable with my five senses. I take people at face value and don't judge another unless I need to go some distance with them. I feel uncomfortable when people are nosey - siva

Yes, I do. It is a skill that all humans have. Like anything else, if you do not use it you lose it.

We can develop it with persistence and sincerity but will lose it when we misuse it - siva

Thoughts are like radio waves. We can all tune into all of them with the rightly tuned mind.
If there is any truth in ESP, if so, how would it work, as perhaps it is an invasion of somebody's else's mind, but Jesus Christ himself seemed to do this, knowing what others were thinking in his life, so it must be ok then, (at least how he did it) as he lived without sinning, it is claimed. ESP is a highlighted or enhanced function of the receival state of thoughts, as all of us receive thoughts, mainly those only directed or generated at ourselves, but some others can tune into different stations, or frequencies of thoughts and so pick up on other's thoughts, like a radio wave. No thought is completely private then, and this is why we should be careful what we think, and why Jesus Christ said that it is a sin to even commit adultery in our mind by our thinking about it. If others can read our minds, or pick-up on our thinking, he would be making a real point here, because these sorts of thoughts, are assaultive of another person. On the other hand, we should not abuse any gift either, and not purposely tune into someone for self-gain, but more only when the thoughts come to us for a reason, which is usually for self-protection, or to be able to be given an advanced chance to help another person, in this unique way.

@Shiva49 Yes, you said it in a nutshell, there siva, especially with your last sentence. Love serves its nuts to others. It doesn't just gather them together and hoard them up for itself.

I have heard of people with ESP powers but when they misused them, they lost that ability. That means some have it but not to be used for selfish purposes. That can relate to not being able to tune in to the right frequency as the mind does not connect to the higher level needed. Then it eventually boils down to serving others and not themselves when blessed with such gifts - siva

I could read minds of young kids, since things are obvious there: they just look at the yummy food but pretend to not look at them. (I invited them, but they tried to keep their manner. The food were accepted in the end by the way .) Some adults are the same however. My older sister often has her eyes on food and plants, or anything pretty. I just have to figure out where her eyes often keep returning to and offer her whatever she fancies. NB: the kids here are children of my neighbors or kids in the same class with my young relatives.
