Epilepsy and (((Psi))) ability

Thu, 10/05/2006 - 09:40
I am presently in the diagnostic phase of ruling in/out Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. I have a few posts on the "New to Epilepsy" board. I have been curious about the connection, if there is any, between Epilepsy and Psi ability. I would imagine that I would glean much more on this subject from the veterans here on this board. I want to clarify and make the differentiation between the feeling one gets when they have an impending sense of doom, (which as I understand it can be an aura) or what I'd call "non-functioning" psychic gift: http://www.epilepsy.com/stories/ps_1066699536.html and actually having a specific premonition and then having it come true. My grandmother possesed this ability and I seem to have it to some lesser extent than she. I never knew her as she passed on before I had the chance to meet her. She was left-handed like myself. I have had a few premonitions in my life that came true. For example, one time I had predicted a member of my family's death. It would be important to note that *this person was not sick or dealing with chronic illness* at the time I had this premonition. I was a teenager at the time. Eerily, I had this premonition one night while asleep. I woke up feeling very disturbed and sorrow-filled because in my dream I was saying goodbye to her while sort of suspended in the air over her coffin. There were other people dressed in black milling about the room which I am guessing was the wake. Two weeks passed and I got a phone call that this person had died. I asked what happened and when? and was told it was two weeks earlier, nearly to the night I had this premonition. All premonitions I have had, come to me in my dreams while I am sleeping. Also however, while awake, I have touched various objects (and or people) and got information about the person even though they were a stranger to me. I can't explain it very well, but the information I receive just comes to me, almost intrusively. I can't control it or whatever. I came across this link while trying to find information about a possible connection between epilepsy and psi. Since my grandmother had this ability I was wondering if it runs in families?: http://www.pni.org/research/anomalous/classif_art/psigene/psigenetl.htm Please, please pleeeeeeeese....does anyone else out there have this or something similar?

I believe the Rhine Institute finished their 1999-2001 study on TLE and sidedness with psi and still have it on their website. They are no longer connected to Duke University. I don't know what they have up to view right now but you can google their address. If you are interested in learning more about psi and using a gift, I suggest the free way. Contact a spiritualist church in your area and ask if they are giving any classes. Some of them have really good teachers available.The National Association of Spiritualist Churches does have a website. My memory just doesn't like to serve me on Depakote. One of the problems with E is that if you are gifted, you may lose it from the meds or get confused between what is a seizure and what is psi. It will take a while of practice probably. You may want to write down what you get and look back on it for confirmation. If you're off, you will have a record for it. Some people actually do better with dream states - they get good info through their dreams. As for touching objects and reading them, that is called psychometry. It can be a fun parlor game. Just have evryone put an item into a basket and pass the basket around. Take out an item and think on it. Begin as though you are telling a story. The more you talk the more you may begin to get a "hit". If you are interested in books on healing arts Hands of Light is pretty neat by Barbara Brennan. As for the two weeks passing, some say there is a 2 week window before one passes and then another 2 week period after one passes that spirit communication increases. Some people are good at locating others because of the specific way they passed. A few, or some reason, are able to tune in to those who have only passed through drowning or other water accidents.Some only if the person has died from a heart condition. It is all very interesting to learn about. Just don't let it drive you nuts and don't believe everything you read or hear. Les
