I'm unaturally accurate with the A3 fitted with irons even if I don't have the sights lined up, I can still tell where the shot will go. I fully understand parralex error yet can't get a hit with telescopic sights on the otherhand (Aimpoints if calabrated are fine, but I'm best with irons)

Also, I can read your mind if you tell me what you're thinking.

I would have taken this thread more seriously if you'd said 'are' instead of 'r'

But it's part of my detecting little kids so I can insult and ignore them. (I'm not saying you're a little kid, it's just one of the tells they have, like saying 'ur' and horrible spelling and tlaking about football (as in soccer) 24/7)

Well, I wouldn't call it "psychic," but in the spirit of the thing, I'm quite perceptive, and it's very easy for me to picture things which do not exist yet... erg... okay that sounds freaky. What I mean is, for example, when I'm writing an essay, I can formulate practically the whole thing in my head, see about how much room it will take up, how long the paragraphs will be, and what order my ideas will be in, and rough ideas of what every single sentence will look like, before I even start the writing. Very useful for the new SAT. :D

Interestingly, my family on my mother's side has an amazing propensity for accurate psychic predictions and mind-reading. Also interestingly, although you probably won't believe me, these powers are gained through choice. You see at the age of about ten, certain members of my Oma's family have the same dream in which they are offered the ability to have these powers, now you might think "who the hell would say no?", but the thing with these abilities is they're not like a tap that can be turned on or off, once you have them you're forever randomly bombarded by the thoughts and feelings of others, as well as predictions. Out of the five siblings who were offered the choice, only two said yes. My Great Auntie Elsie, who went nuts at the age of twenty and died in a mental insitute, and my Oma.

She's one hell of a bridge player. One time she was in Oman (Grandfather worked for Shell), playing cards. The arab men there secretely drugged her drink in order to recoup their losses, she STILL kicked the crap out of them, half the time only semi-conscious :p .

I've had two "visions"; both involving births.

The first one was when my youngest brother was born. I was in school, and looked at the clock, it said 10:27 am and I thought to myself, "I have a new brother". When I got home, my Dad told me that my brother had been born at 10:27 am that morning.

The second was when my sister told me she was pregnant and was due at the end of October. I told her that her baby was going to be a boy and would be born on November 3. "You're just saying that because that's Dads' birthday" she replied. I told her I didn't know why I said it, it just came out. In mid-November, our Mom called to say my sister had her baby boy on November 3.

Go figure.

I have a question for the guy that started this thread that needs to be answered before I feel confident enough to give an answer. What biological process is it that triggers a psychic power? How does it work? How does it interact with the outside world?

I have an amazing power to detect utter bullshit instantly just by looking at it.

You would not believe how hard I laughed at that.

I have an ability he didn't list, also. I have the ability to, simply through force of will, compel my computer to spell out words in English correctly.

I believe in telepathy, pyrokenesis and most other things. Although I don't think it's supernatural. It's perfectly natural but since there have been very few manifestations of this side of nature, we just can't explain it at the moment. In time we'll be able to.

I have the amazing ability to turn food into shit.

I have astral projection, when I close my eyes I can see the room I was in exactly and move about in it, even physically. My only problem physically is that I can't see moving objects (ie people) and my perception of distance and speed is distorted. Have to work on it. Also, with Astral Projection, recently I kept ending up in some hell kind of world where everything attacked me. my only way to get rid of them was to physically pull them off. In the end I went through and killed everything, had a confrontation with a devil like creature (the head honcho, presumeably Satan) and kicked his arse. To me that represented defeating my personal demons.

I can see the future, but not in the traditional sense. When I see the future, it is like looking at a calander but not knowing how to read. I can vaguely make out the dates, the closer the date the more accurate I am, and I can tell that something important will happen on that day, but not what.

Also I have a kind of power in me. You know that tingling feeling you get, at the top of your spine? Well it has now escalated to going all over my body, till the hands and feet. I am still waiting for it to come over my whole body.

Also I have healing powers, not to heal others but to heal myself.

Also I have a feeling that I am immortal. But I will re-evalute that in 20 years.

Telepathy, but it's not what people usually think it is. It only works between my brother and my father and it's much weaker now as we haven't been practising it for years. That's something you have to practise all the time or the "connection" disappears. If something really bad has happened to any of my close relatives I can feel that before I see them or know what has happened. I felt when my granpa died, I was quite sure that my other granpa had died too but in that case he only had had a major heart attack. I did not feel anything when he died though.

i am not sure what to call my technique, but it's almost like my mind works differently. most of the time, i have thoughts just like anybody else (although, with my personality, that's hard to believe) but then when i really want something to turn out a certain way (e.g. i really want to do well in an exam) then it kind of...happens. i used to be so incredibly dumb and naive that i thought it was something to do with God, but now i am not at all religious, and it's still happening. i just prefix my thought with a phrase like 'i hope that' or 'i wish that' or 'let...happen' and it usually happens. it changes with time, though, and phrases wear out, and at the moment i'm trying to think of a new one. it's not like a divine power though, it's just something i do from time to time. and nothing unrealistic either, like 'i want a mansion', or 'i wanna fall in love that is requited', because that won't work. it's usually something like that that wears a phrase out, but seriously, this may sound perfectly human, but it's not. it actually works. it's a bit unpredictable though, so it's probably nothing unusual.

Well I do astral projection, but whether it's actually leaving the body, or just another trick of the mind, I don't know. Its very convincing though :) I've done it nearly 50 times now..
I can also see auras. Mine is a sort of pale blue.

I'd be interested to see this boiled down on a Male/Female ratio. For whatever reason the vast majority of people into this stuff are women. Some people think this is because women have a natural connection with nature.

The rest of us think these people have madness of the brain.

In addition to my many psychic poewers, I also have a Space Zeppelin, a Rod of Ungodly Zit Infetation that maky look like I made it from a broom handle, two soccer balls and lots of silver paint, but is an awesomic pan-cosmic weapon! Ha!

My cousin once had aunt who had a cat that was infested by fleas from, like, thos dog? And like those fleas migrated again to avoid death by bathwater, yyou know? And like the went on to a cosmic dragon that imparted them with knowledge of of the mysteries of space. Thats why I'm sitting in a flea infested hovel that looks like wooden gardening shed, but is infact my space zepellin. The Flea's talk to me you see....


Anyway, hypomanic brainfart aside: If any of these psychic poewrs are real, I don't think the people who have em would be bragging about it on an internet forum.

I'm pretty average.

I tend to be pretty perceptive with people, though.

I always know when someone is sad or happy, what is bothering them, and what I should say. I think that's less psychic and more compassionate, though.

So start learning it. Don't rely on a cheat sheet cause it's cheating (hence the name 'cheat sheet'). When I get a new maths text book I skim through it, learn as many new things as I can, remember them, and then when it comes time to do a test, you don't need a cheat sheet. Besides, then you can waste time in maths cause you already know all the work :D.

All kidding aside, I have always been able to tell what a woman looks like naked before I've seen it. I've done this with female friends before and totally freaked them out. Told them about the color of pubic hair (without knowing their natural hair color), the way shave, the size color and shape of nipples. One time at a party a girl let me draw nipples on her shirt and then showed us that I got them exactly right in size and placement. All in all, not a bad ability to have, no?

I have had pre-cognitive déjà vu-esque glimpses since I was about eleven. While déjà vu is almost always associated with recognizing uncanny similarities between the real world and dreams (which is isolated in the mind and has been linked to schizophrenia), what I have gives the same sense of "eeriness" or "strangeness" normally associated with déjà vu except the glimpses come universally while I am fully awake and I can track down the original date, sometimes to the day if it wasn't TO long before it came to pass. Usually I just chock the "day dreams" up as misplaced memories, memories that I can't remember when they are from. This "ability" has proven utterly worthless as there is absolutely nothing to separate what may eventually happen from common day dreams and my imagination. That is of course until something I saw actually happens, by then needless to say it is useless.

What I see tends to be petty, day to day activity with little or no significance. Probably the two most insightful would be me reading a news article online (about a large explosion in North Korea) and thread on a forum about a PC Gamer article. :p After I had the vision, I came close to asking someone if they remembered who posted it. The thread was made almost a month later two hours before I found it, the PC Gamer issue had just been released that day.

A very good talent indeed. Reminds me of Nikoli Tesla. He built and tested every one of his inventions in his head before producing them in RL. That goes for exact measurements of each part.

Heres what I picked:
Telepathy: The ability to know or communicate with a person with the power or ur mind (Only slightly though - this takes a very clear mind and lots of patience)

Healing: The ability to heal a person's wound, disease or viris, charkas, auras (I have healed myself of colds thru certain visualizations that I learned, and I tried distance healing on others which has worked only once or twice.)

Dowsing and Divination: The ability to use tools correctly to reveal the future or an object/person (I have predeicted my future very accurately with Tarot cards and I have found lost items with a Pendulum)

Clairaudience/sentience/voyance:To see, hear or feel that many can't (If this includes seeing the luminous energy fields of people I have this ability but it is highly underdeveloped.)

Visions: The ability to see the future and/or past (I picked this only because I had a dream of the future exactly as it would happen)

I'm very VERY jealous of you astral projectors out there. THere are things you can do to gain this ability but I can seem to master it. I think I was successful once, though it wasn't on purpose and it may have been a dream. There was a teacher spirit there, urging me to will myself to fly if it was a true OOBE. I have three friends that have the natural ability to do this. :mad:
