Empathy

Instructor: RainTurtle
Date: November 20, 2003 (Thursday) <RainTurtle> Good evening, all. The topic for this evening's seminar is Empathy <RainTurtle> If you are not here for a class on rudimentary psionics, you might find that you've mistyped the chatroom name.This is not a gaming room, and we are not about to start an RPG <RainTurtle> There are two basic meanings for the word empathy, and several variants within each. <RainTurtle> The first is a psychological phenomenon, reacting to the expressed or assumed situation of another person, feeling for them,.very like sympathy in rough terms <RainTurtle> Not being a Psychologist, I am not going to be lecturing on Psychological Empathy, tonight. <RainTurtle> Instead, we come to the second meaning: the telepathic perception of another person's emotions. Depending on the variant of the definition which you happen to favour, this may also extend to influencing the emotions of other people, in addition to sensing same <RainTurtle> The first kind of empathy is a large part of what is missing in dangerous sociopathic folks.Those same sociopaths might have the second, while lacking the first. Lots of people have the first and lack the second <RainTurtle> Some people consider Empathy to be separate from Telepathy, by the way. However, if Telepathy is defined simply as communication between two minds by psychical means, the Empathy is included. <RainTurtle> Psychical empathy is one of the abilities most often reported, but, like dream precognition and dream clairvoyance the other two biggies, in terms of reporting it is not among the psionic abilities that are most seriously investigated <RainTurtle> It has a number of practical uses. On a small scale, being aware of another person's state of mind can be handy when discussing delicate matters. Affecting one person's emotions can calm anger or fear. On a large scale, it can be used for judging the state of a mod, for crowd control, and for advertising <RainTurtle> the kind of stuff associated with diplomats, salemen, and politicians

<RainTurtle> On the other side of the coin, being too open to Empathic input is not at all fun; experiencing the emotions of fifty or a thousand people all at once can be devastatingand if all of them are good emotions, and you are at the centre of attention (think rock star on stage here) you will be _very_ drunk very fast <Kelana> *nod* Never could go to concerts or such when I was in school for that reason.. Centering just doesn't cut it in a crowd that large <RainTurtle> Of course, if you can calm a person, it stands to reason that you can induce other emotions as well: joy, sorrow, hatred, hopelessness.. <RainTurtle> .fear overlaying excitement and wild joy, mild disgust overlaying wariness and distrust. <RainTurtle> Simple basic emotions are not your only option <RainTurtle> And, you can also Send and Receive emotions to be interpreted but not felt, for communication purposes.the telepathic equivalent of a smiley <RainTurtle> Questions, so far? * Aphanas has questions <RainTurtle> Aphanas? * Kelana has one too <Aphanas> Question #1: Why do some people consider empathy and telepathy separate things? I thought that they were the same skill, just communicating different types of information (feelings vs. thoughts). <RainTurtle> Some people like to subdivide things a lot.A few people don't believe in any telepathy more precise than rough empathy. And some Empaths who do not pick up detailed information figure that it must be a separate mechanism. Then there are the Chakra people who say that telepathy is done with one chakra and empathy with another, and therefore they must be different things <Aphanas> Hmmm OK. Aphanas can wait for Kelana to ask hers before asking his second question <Kelana> Okies Would an example of not feeling/only interpreting the sending and receiving of emotions, be the emotion often sent along with a Ping or other Telepathic transmission? <RainTurtle> From the other side of the coin, people who mindspeak tend to choose to block out empathic input Kelana thought of another one too..but I'll ask that after Aphanas

<Aphanas> Rain, why is that? <Aphanas> *Please note: that was not Aphanas' second question* <RainTurtle> Aphanas: usually a matter of too much information. Mindspeaking is already very intimate. Adding emotion to it makes it more so <Aphanas> OK, that makes sense. Thanks. <RainTurtle> Kelana: do you mean the emotion that is used to help fuel the transmission, to give it more oomph? <Kelana> Yes. <RainTurtle> It is more often felt than interpreted, actually, when it is picked up at all <Kelana> Odd, I've usually found the opposite. Okay. <RainTurtle> I did say more often, not always * Kelana nods * Aphanas is ready with his second question if this round is done <RainTurtle> If you have to think hmm, I wonder what this emotion thing might be, that is coming in, it needs to be interpreted. <RainTurtle> If you have to think ooh, why am I feeling this way suddenly it is felt <Kelana> Makes sense. Thanx <RainTurtle> Aphanas? <Aphanas> Actually, glad you mentioned that last part (that is a good clarification for me as well). My next question is <Aphanas> I presume that empathetic broacasting is often used unconsciously by people when performing music as well? It seems that there is a lot of empathetic broadcasting happening by musicians that genuinely move people (whether or not they can actually sing/perform all that well technically . <RainTurtle> This is so. And, some of us do it deliberately. <Aphanas> OK, thanks. I've done the same, and had a devil of a time trying to describe what someone needed to do to connect to their audience. Thanks. <RainTurtle> Kelana, you had another question? <Kelana> Question #2. I'm not a believer in chakras or such; however..I have noticed that large quantities of emotions or strong emotions, tend to feel like a punch in the

stomach to me..or a slight pain almost. Telepathic/thought input on the other hand, tends to hit me in the head/create sensations there. <Kelana> *was typing* <Kelana> How would you explain that then? I've always thought it was likely there were different senses in various parts of the body, which pick up different 'types' of sendings easier than the other senses. Or something to that effect. <RainTurtle> Where telepathic input appears to show up varies with the method of transmission, in my experience. <Kelana> Eg. if it's sent from the belly/sternum region, it will be felt there..or if it's sent from the head region, it will be detected there? <RainTurtle> However, the common-ness of the area of where strong empathic signals, and several of the most common thought signals come in may well be the basis behind the beliefs of chakra involvement <Kelana> *nods* <RainTurtle> It's a little more complicated than that, but close enoughSome of the third eye kinds of Sendings hit _hard_ in that part of the face.even if no third eye is there <Kelana> Mmk, thanks. <RainTurtle> (Mammals don't have a real third eyeand the pineal gland is farther back than this is felt) <RainTurtle> Any other questions? * Mannen raises hand. <RainTurtle> Mannen? <Mannen> Because the telepathic information hits in the same spot it was sent from, is it important to know from where you are sending? <RainTurtle> A perfectly reasonable question. However, it doesn't always work that way. And, it isn't really a serious issue anyway. No matter where the impact is felt _if_ the impact is felt the important part is the clarity of the message <Mannen> Okay, thanks. <RainTurtle> Now to the meat of the matter, then.How <RainTurtle> There are, of course, many entirely correct and workable methods both for Sending and Receiving

<RainTurtle> This, tonight, is not the best, simply what works for me, and has worked for others <RainTurtle> Starting with Sending: <RainTurtle> 1) Decide what you want to Send. Pick an emotion. <RainTurtle> 2) Notice whether or not you can call the feeling of that emotion to mind easily. Feel it without being overwhelmed by it. If not, choose a scene from your memory, from a book, from a movie or whatever, which evokes that emotion in you <RainTurtle> (cheating? Yep. So what?) <Aphanas> Heh <RainTurtle> If you are likely to want to Send emotions a lot, for some reason, you might want to keep a variety of such scenes on hand for practice <RainTurtle> 3) Evoke the emotion, calling it to mind as in #2. <RainTurtle> 4) Push it outward with a nice puff of psi toward your target. Picturing the person's face is one of the easier ways to navigate. Holding an object made or written (or typed!) by that person is another. <RainTurtle> If all else fails, write the name or online nick of the person on a small piece of paper or cardstock, and doodle anything that comes to mind about that personhold that paper in your hands and concentrate on the person while puffing <RainTurtle> Repeated short puffs tend to be more efficient than a prolonged stream. And the more intense the emotion, the more it will carry <RainTurtle> Questions? * Jael raises hand * Kelana does too <RainTurtle> Jael? <Jael> Can you set empathetic suggestion in wards? I'm thinking of things such as Veggies are good to eat in the kitchen. <RainTurtle> Yes <RainTurtle> No need to puff, then, just include the same program in the warding itself, set to release on contact <RainTurtle> Kelana?

<Kelana> How would you modify that technique, for broadcasting to a crowd/more than one person..instead of just sending to one person? <RainTurtle> For a crowd, puff outward, without bothering to aim it. Basic broadcast. A really intense emotion will broadcast on its own if you simply stew on it enough * Jael has another question * Aphanas raises hand too <Kelana> *nods* okay <RainTurtle> Picture the puff as a broadening cone, heading generally out in front of you (or to the side, or whereever) can help, too <RainTurtle> Jael? <Jael> Can you set the ward to work on one person or will the whole house start loving veggies (using the same example)? <RainTurtle> With the basic program, it affects anyone who contacts the ward. You can format it to react with only certain people, or one specific individual, though * Aphanas modifies his shields to ward off Jael's veggie loving programming :p <Kelana> lol <Jael> Rain: okay - thanks <RainTurtle> Easiest method for that is just to picture the intended target, and hold the intention to affect that specific person, while setting the other programming <RainTurtle> Aphanas? <Aphanas> How do you recommend holding a really intense emotion without it overwhelming you? Would you build it as strong as you could, but stay distant as if you were watching the emotion from the outside, or do you have to feel it very strongly? <RainTurtle> This is going to sound fluffy, but. <RainTurtle> Choose a character from a fictional work, who you associate with a particular scene in which that character would be feeling that emotion strongly.and pretend to be him/her <RainTurtle> Any other questions on sending? <Aphanas> OK, that makes sense. Keeps the distance through play-acting and you can then step out of the role. Thanks.

<RainTurtle> Those of you familiar with the Psion Guild might know that Winged Wolf ran a series of classes the logs of which were posted on the Guild's site. Her method for Sending empathically, as explained there, also works well for some people <RainTurtle> Now, Receiving.for some of you, this is the easy part <RainTurtle> Method #1: brace yourself and lower your Shields.not usually recommended, for obvious reasons <RainTurtle> Method #2: Extend a tendril of your field, or a semi-attached construct to feel the surface of the Sender's field, and mentally ask yourself, What is (insert name) feeling/Sending? <RainTurtle> #3: Concentrate on the Sender, clear your mind, and ask as in #2 <RainTurtle> Brushing a tendril against someone's field, as in #2, can be felt, by the way. In fact, pretty much any kind of scan _can_ be felt, depending on the sensitivity of the person being scanned and the roughness of the scanner <RainTurtle> Deliberately trying to determine what another person is feeling falls under the category of scanning. <RainTurtle> Questions? * Aphanas raises hand <Kitsune> not here. <Kelana> heh, I have one as well. <RainTurtle> Aphanas? <Aphanas> Is the difference between methods #2 & #3 just how concrete of a visualization the person is using? <Aphanas> Or is something different actually happening? <RainTurtle> #2 appears to be more active. Actual mechanism of #3 is unknown <RainTurtle> Kelana? <Aphanas> OK, thanks. That gets me wondering about something I had thought of the <Kelana> Okay, that answers my question too. I was going to ask how you viewed #3 to work. Whether it would be extending energy without realising it; or simply extending mental awareness or.. <Aphanas> Bah my bad (sorry).

<RainTurtle> I personally regard it as simply extending mental awareness, but that doesn't really tell us what is happening, still <Kelana> *nods* * Aphanas has a followup question that may be a bit off topic <RainTurtle> Go ahead <Aphanas> Rain, can simply extending mental awareness go around shields - by not going through normal space and appearing *inside* of someone's shields? <Aphanas> Not sure if that really made sense <RainTurtle> It's been done, so yes, it can. How easily it is done depends heavily on the setting of the Shield <Kelana> I've found it can within Psionics and Omnimancy; unless the shields are set to block that particular mode, or the program it has. <Aphanas> OK, thanks. I was wondering that after dealing with some odd constructs at one point. <RainTurtle> Any other questions? <Aphanas> No more here. <RainTurtle> I guess that ends tonight's seminar, then. Sorry we went overtime. Thanks for recording, Spot. Have a good evening, all

Remote Viewing & Remote Influencing by Jim Fallon

Remote viewing is a "mental projection" with your mind to another person or place and observing with your inner eyes what is taking place there, or what a person is doing and/or the details of a distant location. It is a form of telepathy or thought transference, which is the communication of impressions from one mind to another. This technique allows one to tune into the thoughts, feelings, desires and awareness of another person. Remote influencing is the ability to project your own thoughts, feelings, and desires to influence another person. How does it work? Serge King, in his book, Mastering Your Hidden Self (1985), talks about this. "... We remain in contact with everything we sense by means of 'sticky' aka threads, like drawn out strands of bubble gum, that never break and never get tangled. Every time we renew contact, another thread is formed, so that we are connected to certain people and places by cords rather than threads. In addition, by the power of thought we have the ability to send out an 'aka finger' to places or people we have never been in contact with, and thereby seek out information or have an influence."

The basics of the technique presented here uses the third principle of Huna, "Energy Flows Where Attention Goes." It also uses Piko Piko breathing to energize the "third eye," and intent and visualization to help reinforce the Aka thread, by visualizing an aka link from one Huna power center to another, to establish a "communications" link. This allows information to be received and "transmitted." In Remote viewing, the mind subjectively (non-physically) detects subjective information about a subject, and then converts that information into a form that you can understand, such as a mental image, or words, or a feeling. It is important when using the technique that all information and impressions are not to be discarded. The mental image (of what you remotely view) is not the actual communication. It is the end result of a mental process, just as the words or pictures on the computer monitor are the result of your instructions (given via the keyboard and the mouse) interacting with the word processing (or image processing) program, which then interacts with the computer hardware to produce light and dark pixels that you recognize as words and images. The technique: Piko Piko: Remote influencing: Inhale with your attention on your navel. Visualize what you are trying to do, or the result of what you want at the navel. Exhale with your attention at your forehead, about 1 to 2 inches behind the forehead. Visualize that this energy radiates out, like an aka finger or "thread" going to the other person's forehead. As you visualize this hold the image of what you're trying to do. Send it out in one strong intense vibration with the exhale breath. Remote viewing or receiving: This is the reverse of the manner in which the signal was sent out. Inhale, as you see the aka finger attached to the persons forehead. Exhale, and bring the attention to your navel. Visualize information coming inward towards you through the aka finger, coming inward towards the navel centering at the navel. Remote broadcasting: Rather than send the vibration out of the forehead, bring it up to the top of your head. Hold the image at the navel on the inhale, on the exhale, attention is brought to the top of the head, and see the energy spreading out like a cone. You can work with any single aspect described above or combine them in various ways for many purposes. When finished with any of the techniques, just visualize that the Aka cord is dissolving. Practical Uses

HEALTH You can use Remote Viewing to sense health problems and then take corrective action with Remote Influencing to restore perfect health for yourself and others. With Remote Influencing, you help complement doctors' efforts by working from the inside of your subconscious mind and powerfully thinking yourself and others healthy!

You can even reshape your body image and easily attain by mind power alone your perfect and desirable weight and shape. Since all your body cells are replenished and recreated every 7 years (20 days for your skin) you can Remote Influence you morphogenic fields to recreate better, younger and more pleasant body structures and skin complexion. With Remote Viewing you can detect health problems and threats to your health, and then take action both physically and mentally with Remote Influencing to protect your health or restore and maintain optimum health for yourself and your loved ones. While your doctor works from the outside-in with physical medicine, you help by working from the inside-out. RELATIONSHIPS Remote View your relationships and foresee potential problems before they develop. You then see the other person's real desires and needs, and can sense barriers. This allows you to respond appropriately. You then know the best way to improve your love life and relationships. Use Remote Influencing to magnetically attract a partner or perfect soul mate, improve your love life, and create happiness. Remote Influencing allows you to connect to that person on a deeper level and help bring about permanent changes that will establish deep rapport, and then be able to intensely take pleasure in your relationship for the mutual joy and benefit of both. Remote View your children to see what they are doing, and then Remote Influence them BEFORE someone else influences them - the wrong way! EDUCATION Use Remote Viewing to intuit what test subjects might be asked of you. Remote Influence your success at easily achieving the highest grades and attaining impressive academic credentials. Use remote viewing to detect any information needed. It is all in the Aka field. You can do more than detect the facts. You can also learn how this information was applied, and the results achieved. In other words, you can learn from other's experiences, and apply them to your own situation. CAREER AND BUSINESS Use remote broadcasting to subjectively communicate with potential customers who need and can benefit from your product. This will not only help the customer by helping them to achieve their goals and solve problems in their lives, it will help you to increase sales. Any way you want to imagine broadcasting your message is fine, such as imagining that you are speaking into a microphone at a TV or radio station and your message is being broadcast by a large broadcasting station tower. Remote View a better job, then use Remote Influencing to get hired. Remote Influence a promotion or raise.

Remote View the job interview before being interviewed and know beforehand the needs and wants of the company, then use Remote Influencing to establish rapport and convince them that you are the employee that they need. Remote View to start your most successful new own business. Remote Influence for more customers and increasing sales. Remote Influence your employees' performance. Use Remote Viewing to detect the information that will help you solve problems, then use Remote Influencing to implement your ideas and influence others that you have the answers. INVESTMENTS Remote View the most appropriate and safest investment vehicles that will keep your financial assets safe and growing through these troubled times. Timing is essential in all investment decisions, and you can Remote View the right moment to enter and/or exit an investment vehicle and "know" when to switch to another one. Remote Influence the success of your financial investment prosperity. Using Remote Influencing erase past bad anxiety-causing experiences so that they do not arouse the exact fear of lack that may have caused prior losses to start with. Get the "inner knowing" that, no matter what, you will be just fine and protected on many levels. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT Become Fearless - Increase Energy - Enhance Self-Esteem - Reduce Stress Achieve Your Perfect Weight - Think Yourself Healthy - Find Love - Improve Your Love Life - Negotiate What You Want - Become A Success - Create Happiness. Influence others from a distance. Leave mental reminders and create an instant AKA connection. Establish instant rapport with anyone you meet. Create a feeling of trust, connection, and enjoyment. Concentrate with total focus and clarity, whenever you choose. When you have more information, you are able to make better decisions. And you get better results. This is enhancing "luck"." You are "lucky" because you have more information to work with and therefore get better results.

How often have you felt that someone was staring at you? You probably turned around and immediately caught the gaze of the "starer". Or maybe you've unintentionally done this to someone else. What has not been realized until quite recently is that when you focus on another person, either within eyesight or

geographically distant, then that person subconsciously picks up on your attention. Further still, their physiology changes slightly. Their blood pressure increases for a start and there are other measurable changes. Human minds appear to act like an international telephone exchange. When you focus on someone you "connect" directly with them. There is no error the connection is always made. This fact was suspected for a long time, but until recently there had been no serious research on it. Then along came the remote viewers. And what they discovered absolutely stunned the scientists who had an interest in this field. The remote viewers found that not only could they "connect" with their target person in real time but they could connect at specified times in the past and in the future. That is they would remote view (connect with) an individual but before doing so would specify exactly the time and date that they wished to do so. It was found that they could remotely influence a persons physiology in the past and in the future. This is totally astounding knowledge. Please remember that each and every individual affects other people all the time. If you drive your car down the road slowly and hold up traffic behind you, then you are affecting others. The mere fact that you are reading this means that I have affected you. You could have been doing something else right at this instant. All we are doing with remote influencing is affecting people in a slightly different way remotely. It is merely an extension of your day to day interaction with others. If you happen to be in a foul mood and enter a room full of people, then they subconsciously pick this up off you and avoid you. That is uncontrolled remote influencing. What you are learning here is controlled remote influencing. You can use it to your advantage and to the advantage of the other person. If you use it to harm them, then you are very likely to have the exercise bounce back on you some time in the future

with a considerable interest percentage added on! Once you have mastered the process, you will simply find that things go your way. This is because you are unconsciously using subjective influence without even being aware of it. It becomes an automatic process.
