Can you expand on the "tower of light" meditation? Sounds like it could be useful to me!!

Yes, but this has only happened with one person. It was really...weird. The bad thing is if you get irritated with them or something, they know instantly even if you never show it...so it's really potentially hurtful.

YeS I SUPPOSE THIS HAPPENS TOO if we go back to the last time in history when we were all more connected on the telepathic level (say atlantean and lemurian times) before spoken language and hence massive confusion came into being all could see/feel all now with the energies around earth building up to a much higher vibration again we are returning there so what you describe is very much par for the course it is going to play havoc with even mild paranoia is it not? but then it makes us all more responsible at the thought level peace shan

I agree with you Modabid, I wonder though if this is confusing to some of us because sometimes the permission that is granted is not a conscious decision. It seems that sometimes it may be our higher-selves granting permission and sometimes it seems to be our fearful subconscious opening to a matching fear energy. I guess both are granting permission but the conscious mind could be completely out of the loop (especially for those who do not practice "living consciously"/ "on purpose").

I don't know if you are still interested in this topic, but there is not such a thing as reverse telepathy. The transmission of thought from mind to mind is telepathy. Telepathy simply is and does not flow in any particular direction - you enter a common space with someone or something and communication proceeds. If a person does not grant permission for the communication to happen, it does not. No one and no thing can look into your mind without your prior permission. This includes God due to the free will clause. Your thoughts belong to you and to you alone unless you grant permission and willingly share them with an outside entity. No one and no thing can harm you unless you first grant it permission. Telepathy as with all Psychic Activities becomes easier with practice and some forms of PSI come easier than others according to a person's inclination and experience. I would add one word of caution: if a thing frightens you, it is best to keep away from it. http://anqarinprayerbook.blogspot.com/

Carl Jung's words: "People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul." i think this sums it up. we all have the potential. we all have the knowledge, so from my viewpoint, it's not as much a new trick, more of fully connecting into one's self, the true self of the universal... and when you do that, when you're "in that channel" all manner of magic can happen... yet there are limits to what we can process and absorb. so the 'protection' is when one steps outside that "channel" or zone. (hence the expanding and contracting) sometimes the realm of total connectedness serves us well, other times we need to really believe in the contructed separateness. yet even though both realms are at connected the whole time, the intellectual mind at times needs to draw stricter lines to process the totality. i can so relate on the people not being able to absorb something until years later example, someone coming back and saying 'i understand this now.." i think their heart/soul knew it the whole time, yet it took their intellectual mind a while to catch up and process the information. i think reverse telepathy often hapens when two awake people communicate. i think very natural human fear mainly stems from the quote above, there is an aversion to really looking at one's soul.

in a limiting world, we all strive to expand our gifts. allot can be said for contracting our gifts too. i love my gifts, but each time i learn 'a new trick' i like to learn the 'antidote' for that trick. sure, empathic powers are great, and its ok when i sit with my pal gail, we can move thru some very deep exchanges, owing to our empathic sympathetic resonance with one another, but i also lilke to know when im walking to the bus that just any ole person cant read me. its like astral travel is cute, but ya need to surround yrself with lite too, protection. empathy is likewise. when i do readings i always BEGIN with a sense of protection. sometimes in a discussion group i go to, i do feel like they can all read into me at one time, but quite humourously, i can also tell that none of them know it at the time. in effect, it results in an abiltity to express myself... in as much as they feel drawn to what im saying, even when we disagree... thyre not always necessarily aware that theyre not listening with their usual ssenses, theyre listening with higher senses they simply dont realise... all my life people come to me, regarding dif issues, and say, ya know what?.. you said X or Y or Z to me yrs ago, and i thought you were nuts, but recently i had an experience that brought that to mind, and you were rite.... these are often examples of what i describe above.... it somewhat validates my belief about whats occuring... theyre hearing me, fixed on llistening, and yet at the same time, theyre not really hearing me until a later date when what ive said PERTAINS to them on a level they CAN recognise. life is so cool. and so strange.\ perhaps when you sense the reverse empathy, its the other guy 'drawing' from you... perhaps drawing from you energies you yourself are not necessarily fully conscious of,.... yet! i think energetically we all 'groom' oneanother for that next eventual 'leap' we make as individuals. ps, i need a real leap lately.... : )` Nexxus

Yes Ive experienced this. I dont like being read without consent, so I block them... The problem with many intuitives and empaths is that sometimes they pry when they shouldnt... Love

great discussion topic. i agree with the notion that one is tapping into a certain "channel" or energetic space. it can very freaky and intense at times. yet the further you delve, i think one finds one's way around the "unfamiliar city" of the collective unconscious... having fun getting lost a bit, getting a boost when you get back on track, getting a sense of the "grid".... my take is that's it's a very intense reaffirmation at just how connected we humans truly are @ root (something we ALL knew @ one point in our development before our individual "imprinting". ) there is something to be said for the notion that that "connected space" is the natural state of our collective souls and it's the seperation which is the illusion (as opposed to the converse that the western mind dictates).. it's like maybe one sees a glimpe of the ultimate truth and goes.... "woah.." the dsl analogy was excellent.. yet it also brings up the point, just as certain hackers can skip around the barriers, i think certain empaths can sometimes skip around the valves/roadblocks if they really want to. so that's an odd aspect to consider. sometimes that kind "pychic link" can be overwhelming.. and sometimes it can be a great journey.. (even if the fun was realized after the fact, when the overwhelm wears off.. ;'.) i'm not steadfast in my opinion on this matter by any means, yet i do wonder if at times, if the reverse telepathy is on occasion, a signal from the universe of some possible yet freaky lesson to be learned.. and it's merely the ego that perceives it as scary. a manifestation from the unconscious mind perchance. ;'>. ps: since you speak of meditation, you probably already know, i've found that the "tower of light" meditation done with intent and purpose can sometimes be an effective "shield"

i definitely know what you mean... i think that most people like to feel somehow that they are 'safe' to think whatever they want in their own minds without interference, observation, or judgement of any kind.... and i imagine for most people, most of the time, this isn't even a concern as much as an assumed right and natural way of being.... however i feel it may be possible that later in life (or earlier for some?) that when we become aware of the 'group mind' and the (potential or actual) dissolution of barriers between our own minds and the collective consciousness, that we perhaps do not initally know how to cope with this. i imagine that a bit of personal 'fine-tuning' and practice through meditative techniques and mental focus may help to block unwanted transmissions (both inward and outgoing) in order to create a veil of safety that allows an individual to comfortably explore his or her own mental terrain. i do like the statement you made about how 'this whole sphere operates below the surface anyway' - as the ethereal consciousness does seem to be of spherical nature to me, in a visual sense.... a globe-like space that can be circumnavigated or even entered into at will.... or perhaps that's just a human tendency to view intangible concepts as reflections pf our planetary physical space... and the entering-the-sphere bit can be a bit like entering the womb, the gestation place of thoughts that can be probed all the way to the central core and one-ness. i don't know if this is what you intended to say with that statement but i enjoyed where it sent me....

I am new to this. but I think I know what u are saying and I don't like it- I don't like being caught off guard and i like to feel that I am able to have a private face and a public one and that I can choose who sees what but often I find myself open- and dont know If ia m reading signals clearly or if I am a paranoid! I find that pychic energy can be invasive- sometimes I want to be left alone you know- I want my own pyschic/emotional space to feel safe/ like I have some control/ that I can become aware and work through things at my own pace....I don't know if u understand what I am saying because its vague but this whole sphere operates below the surface anyway- right/ Like I said I am new to this but I am definitely one of you all..lol...Thanks. beth

"this might explain how you could be seeming to have 2-way communication with someone who does not actually 'realize it' in their conscious mind, although it is occurring," ~ this happens to me quite frequently, with 6+ planets in Scorpio, I tend to be 'at' that level just below consciousness ~ on the 'edge' so to speak..... for a while I was quite disturbed when someone would flat-out deny that they had "told me something" & I questioned my own sanity... then it started to dawn on me that we were both "right" ;) I have developed a bit of a 'exhibitionist side' to cope with the 'idea' that there are many ways to scan & monitor ~ I try to put on a "good show" ;) & I remember, that if i've been able to 'deal' with it with far less understanding than I have now, more understanding, will ultimately make my life 'easier' :) love all-ways, mem

yes this is exactly along my train of thought.... perhaps telepathy is a way of bridging our conscious and subconscious minds in a way that opens our connection to the infinite 'one', and through this bridge we are able to communicate with the subconscious minds of others... perhaps even without their conscious mind realizing it? perhaps the communications exist on the subconscious level, and our conscious minds just filter out these communications to various degrees for different people? this might explain how you could be seeming to have 2-way communication with someone who does not actually 'realize it' in their conscious mind, although it is occurring, and if they were to bridge the conscious-subconscious and/or drop the filter then they would be able to consciously perceive the communication. if this is the case, then maybe there are ways to adjust the valve or filter out varying degrees of this communication for those who are receiving a high level of transmissions, or to open the valves for those who would like to be receiving more? i suspect meditation is a key to much of this valve-adjustment process.... it seems that bridging the conscious-subconscious gap in such a way that still alows us to function properly on a daily basis can be a tricky balance. too much data could be overwhelming, too little could be impossibly mundane. i agree that interaction between people who are actively operating in this bridged-state awareness can help fine tune these sensitivities, as well as help others 'open their valves' and become open to reception and eventual conscious transmissions of their own.

I have experianced this, yes. Many times, as you open your own mind, it helps others open their own, even if it is only at a subconciouse level. But when you do encounter someone who is an active empath or telepath, it is a far more interesting experiance. In fact being around others who are active will help both of you help fine tune your sence in some ways better then you could do on your own. It will not only help you sence others easier, but will give you a situation where you can learn to close off portions of your mind. This will help keep your mind straight when around those who are not active. Another advantage of this is when the other active person is someone who is very close to you. For if both of you are active, it creates one of the strongest bonds you will ever feel. It can become a love that can reach levels that you could never reach with someone who is not active. Thus being one of the most fufilling relationships you will ever know.

yeah it can be fun, no doubt... it can be intense too the whole idea of multiple people doing it at once intrigues me and it seems like the close physical proximity is a part of it on some level? or maybe thats just having to do with the strength of the antennas...

There is not a one sided connection in my mind, as you statement surmises. "all see into YOUR head and sense what was going on?" If we can they can. If we can tell why couldn’t they, as once the door is open, much like DSL, “things” can and do on occasion get inside. namaste

have any of you ever had an experience where you felt that, rather than you sensing the thoughts and emotions of others, that they could all see into YOUR head and sense what was going on? and if so how did you deal with this situation? if so have you ever had role-reversal or else the ability to open full two-way communication (or rather all-way) and can you actively tune your abilities and senses? i realize this is a lot of questions but this is only the beginning really...
