PLEASE TELL I AM NOT CRAZY. . . . . . . SURELY TO GOODNESS, I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE, . . . CAN I.??

Hendrow

What I am about to talk about is not a joke, I have not been taking any drugs, neither am I under the influence of alcohol. I think I am either very brave? or extremely stupid?? we shall see!! 

It is to do with how we (Me in particular) see things and what we can see. (With my eyes opened or closed, it makes no difference, I can also 'sense or feel' if you will 'somethings'

I am not claiming to be a Temple Grandin, or Rain-man (But I am sure you can guess what my Nickname was growing up."Raymond" that is an interesting life fact I think)  Back on the track, there is no easy way to say this.

I can see, like an X-ray into my partners body. Also I can see where the pain is in her body, including how deep it is. (This is great for her as she has fibro-myalga  I have never really told anyone before about this, (Cos it is kinda scary. And is not 'this will help you fit-in, material') So I am going to put this here, and also on my Facebook page. If anyone want's or need's to private message me about it, feel free to do so, know that I understand why you would feel the need to do that. I think the source of this ability is HFA-Autism, hopefully this will encourage anyone who is like me, to come forward. I guess what I am asking is 'What should I do with it?' There is a massive knowledge bank here on this site, I really need answers. I have put it out there now. Thought's anyone?? For the record I am nod delusional . . . . I eagerly await your replies, thanks from the depths of my soul. Hendrow aka 'Rain-man'

    I would like to tentatively wonder if empathy plays a subtle but intrinsic role here.

    I know there has historically been the belief that NDs are not empathic but I have always believed this to be entirely and completely wrong. I have always believed that NDs are incredibly empathic, more so perhaps than the general population, but that they may not be able to easily identify this ability in themselves in the same way that NTs can.

    And so I wonder; if you had a partner and deeply cared about them, if they were in pain, would it not be possible to empathise so effectively with their suffering that you could vividly imagine (see) where their pain is and how they are feeling, to such a degree that this level of deeply empathising could easily feel as if it were actually a psychic or ‘special’ ability?

    Very simply yes, although subtle is not always the case.

    Yes that is the case also.

    Being able to sense someone else's energetic anatomy or auric embodiments can be presented to the mind and represented 'as-is' in terms of being luminescent or coloured fields, or as confabulations derived from memory - such as anatomical pictures as being 'artistic-impressions' that map with the persons body three-dimensionally. Obviously the more psychic a person is the closer their visual representation will be to the other person's actual energetic embodiments, i.e. 'X-Ray-Vision' sort of thing. We can refer to this type of visualisation as being presentation-strong, whereas the empathic representation can be presentation weak, i.e. a confabulation strong, but is none the less just as as much a psychical ability.
