Hi everybody I'm pretty new here, and I wanted to quickly tell you about my very real ESP experiences.
Now there have been loads of small things that happen between my partner and I, it is really amazing that we often seem to have the same idea at the same time, but it is possible to chalk that up to just knowing each other really well and reacting to the same stimuli by having the same idea. But my two REAL experiences were while playing music. I'm a professional musician. I play early keyboard instruments like harpsichord and early pianos, but I also play jazz bass as an amateur. So I was rehearsing this early Italian baroque stuff by Dario Castello with two good buddies of mine. And one time we were doing like a final run through and we were totally pumped after having a break. We were on fire! Everything was just working as planned an reaching a really high new level of intricacy and then it happened: Without talking about it or planning it or anyone giving any kind of body language, we made this huge pause in the music, a moment of silence about 2 seconds long, and then without any bodily communication we started again with a new intense vibe. I know that we had made a decision with a kind of collective consciousness. The other time was when I was playing bass with a quintet in a club. I'm not sure what song we were playing, it was some kind of jazz-rock or funk or something. Some of the others were real pros, jazz is something I just try to do for fun. Anyway, it was just bopping a long in a really relaxed way during a long piano solo. There are a lot of very subtle cues in chamber music anyway, so it was totally normal that when he started getting louder and bigger on the piano we were following a long and helping him, and then: BAM! The drummer, me, and the piano player all switched our groove to this really heavy 4-on-the-floor type thing simultaneously! We'd never done it before, there was no reason to do it, it just happened and it was awesome! We were one! And the audience went off cos whether they knew about music or not, they could obviously feel that something amazing had happened. Now this is NOT me just harping on about what *I* can do or something, This is not about ego. Both times it just came from somewhere else, this collective decision that affected all of us at the same time. So that's it story over. See you around! Mucciardi

Quote: There was a real ESP experience listed - the bass- the drums kicked and y'all jammed- And that is all it takes. It's a real experience to play music and also to make a life out of the vibrations. True ESP is a scary affliction- luckily I don't have that. Deep breath WHEW!

Once had a conversation with a friend without using spoken or written words - that it could have been some sort of cold reading of body language is simply out of the question - has been thoroughly ruled out. So, Questions were asked when we became aware that we were aware that we were both aware of one another being in a way that was somehow/someway like sharing a single Mind. Near the tail end of the inner mind conversation experience we both wanted to somehow test that we hadn't simply both lost our minds - though that seemed highly unlikely - as the experience was so counter to all we had known and been taught in our lives - so we both (while still using only mind / no hand gestures or even facial expressions beyond the look of how one might imagine someone in silent seated meditation to be) decided to say aloud what the other was & had been saying internally. It was completely unreal. Downright stupid. If it could happen once, couldnt it happen again? We tried all week to recreate the experience to no avail.
Needless to say it was the 1 experience in my life, while completely abstinent and sober, that I cannot account for whatsoever in the slightest - and I and We have both tried to many, many times. Nowadays I tend to rationalize the experience because, really now, what do you do with something like that? That very same week my friend up & gave away all his possessions and entered the Buddhist monastic life. I would follow a similar path a few years later. He eventually fell in love with a wonderful Japanese woman and left temple life to pursue marriage, work, and fam/children. I stayed a novice monk for several months and eventually decided that I still had more research to conduct in the world of the layman - though Buddha dharma - both doctrine & discipline has always continued to be an integral part of my time as an embodied being. Monastic life or something akin to it will always be there for me & still calls to me - but as it is, I'm still not done basking in samsaricnirvana like a fool. Bad monk The only other experience I've had that was even remotely similar to the aforementioned one was many years later on a hefty dose of psilocybin (4g dry of APE tea) - which induced a state in which an entity came to me and in which we communed and could then share our inner Mind's within a single Mind. Much like what happened with me & my friend. I remember catching sight of it descending from the sky and floating through the woods towards me - I rubbed my eyes, shook my head, drank some water - yet its presence as something otherwordly in this world did not abate - it wasn't anything like so many other casual illusions & hallucinations that my brain had made into the image of some thing's visage (like in many other trips) - it was magnitudes beyond that. I distinctly recall the tree's ruffling as it grew close to on its way to me, it was actually the critters that lay asleep in them that began to stir as it came closer and closer towards me - and when it had passed them they once again grew quite. That part really seriously shook me. You know the whole routine "ive tripped countless times on heroic doses - its just the mushrooms - they can make the mind make anything real, this is just a dream, etc etc". Yet Ive never had such a real experience on a hallucinogen as that one - ive had "entity" encounters as life like images and things that ive seen from other trips that were seen within visions of complex fractal geometric landscapes that took up my whole vision - where I could see things that had a body like shape or seemed conscious/alive - but this thing was just sooo much more...and seemingly Alone in Our environment - also, no other illusions or hallucinations were apparent at the time. Just crystal clear vision, lucid as a yogi , paradoxically super sober - & my environment and everything in it ( which happened to be the woods as illuminated by moonlight and stars at about 3:00am)... and this marvelously splendid entity. And damn if the thing's intellect didn't make me feel like a big dumb ape like baby, bc it did - but judging just based on this one encounter - it seemed infinitely benevolent & compassionate, as if it possibly knew me or already knew human beings very very well. The interactions we had....I kept looking to poke holes in the experience of the trip as it was ongoing bc I still couldnt believe it - damnit ive tripped countless times into serious phantasmagorias that make Alex Grey paintings look like a kindergartener's finger painting - but this had a paradoxically mundane yet supramundane quality to it in such a way that I'd never encountered or thought possible before. Ahh, never have my words so utterly failed me in painting other's an accurate description of an event from my life's experience. The things that It did share & show me after I did a little testing and then getting to know each other. It fucking baffled - styming the intellect to such a degree that it all but subsided until the majesty of this Entity invoked another question to arise within me. I couldn't stop asking it questions after I felt that it was safe & not going anywhere for a while. Then came the union. The dimension of experience of the world, phenomena, and life that it somehow facilitated & opened to me after our communion was so incredibly unique - not befitting what I had then grown accustomed to or even thought possible (nonetheless conceivable) - not even while on psychedelics. Now I truly get some of how why various cultures & religions throughout human history have stories from our ancestor brethren involving these types of things. I don't even seriously speculate as to the true nature of this experience anymore - its utterly pointless to do so, as doing so is beyond the point - If this happens to you - it becomes naked and obvious that trying to categorize, organize, or fit some things into a preconceived system, structure, or thought is the work of a deluded hubristic fool. We simply do not possess the hardware - nor software - nor ability/prowess/intellect/whatev Labels are for the birds. What can be known by any pointing out when the point lies beyond both the pointing and the pointed out? The Fuck if I know! ...Thank you fungi....for being sooo trippy... Isnt life the greatest?! ![]()
