Trans thoughs (part two)

But.

This is my skill. This is something that I “do”.

Trynity was fond of saying that I “always do the right thing”. She was referring to an uncanny knack, that when confronted with a choice that might have larger or long-term implications, of choosing the action that brings about the most good in the long term, despite the oddness or unpopularity of the choice in the immediate sense.

*laughing* I also rented Matrix tonight. Some of that is slipping over here.

No, maybe alot of it. I think the two combine strongly!

What Neo’s character can do, is something I can do too, in a manner of doing. I can alter the normal flow of events – I can alter the matrix, make it what I want it to be – or rather what God allows it to be. I do it by acting in a very deliberate and discret manner. And, i choose the actions for a desired result WAY WAY WAY in advance.

….okay…enough about that. It is boggling my mind. Back to the other issue from Final Destination… The other issue is: what is the responsibility of psychics?

In Donaldson’s books, especially Book 3 of trilogy 1, the concept of “seer” different from “prophet” are explored, but never quite defined. While I am not sure which is which: One person sees an absolute and unavoidable truth, sometimes in the present or past, the other person sees a set of outcomes in the future which are not yet set.

Both roles can be seeing the same event. But one of them is seeing the end result, after the hand has been played. The other is seeing the lay of the cards somewhere in the middle.

The question is this: does the person who “sees” the future, do they act on what they see? What if their action is what brings about the ill that they saw? Likewise, what if their inaction fails to bring about positive change?

When I was doing mentalist tricks for my friends in high-school, I found that in a deliberate test, I could only go on for a few minutes. Let me explain.

The best example, and witnessed by the most people, was with a girl in one of my math classes. it was the end of the year, and we were all honor students, so we had been left alone in class. We started having a discussion similar to this, and it came about that I can read minds. I explained, however, that i claimed no “supernatural” or “clarivoyant” ability. Rather, I simply compute very quickly what a person’s thought pattern is.

Well, for those of you reading, the first thing I have to do is “seed” or “trigger” their thinking. I do this by doing something apparently “random” or unexpected to the target. But for my part, the action I choose is a controlled act, designed to bring about a particular response in the target.

Once I know what the target is thinking at that moment (when they responded to my random act) I can then thread thru a series of thoughts.

In this case, i started telling the girl that she was suprised, then not impressed, then more impressed, now alarmed…etc… as I kept saying what she was thinking.

The problem was, that in a controlled environment, when she knew I was reading her, and I was giving her direct feedback is, that eventually I am directing her thoughts. Which makes it very easy for me to “look impressive” (and I did *wink*) but it makes showing my real skill kinda moot.

I was often plagued by visions as a teen, and had no clue what to do about them. Most of them were things I couldn’t have direct impact on at any rate, thankfully. But some, I thought I could have, and often just embarrased myself.

Ungh…I’m getting tired…must summarize.

Now, what I “see” is a person’s emotional state, or their future emotional state (and sometimes, physical state). I can see how a person’s history and their current actions can or will lead to a given end.

Just like with the classmate, I have found the best thing I can do is become involved with them personally. Then, I can take actions that impact them, and help lead them to more positive outcomes.

Before you are appauled, understand that I only “interfere” in situations that most everyone would agree are horrendous. Also, I bear the full weight and responsiblity of my actions and the outcome. I often suffer hugely for the price of the other person making a sucessful outcome.

okay, thats all. I’m tired. I don’t know if I made a good point here or not…. sleep on it!
