Are you telepathic?

That is do you belive its possible or have you had experience in communicating with other people telepathicly?
Surprising as it is if you survey a bunch of people off line i think the results would have lot more yes answers. I dont know why but i noticed that is the case for some reason, i met more people offline that are in touch with their psychic abilities than online. Weird eh,a drug induced enlightened gathering of peeps, youd imagine be more psychich.

mabye you can judge what somone says based on their facial expressions but it would be impossible to talk to someone say if they were in different countries... theres no such thing as phychic abilities, its based on facial expressions and the patterns humans express, they are very consistent...

I have this weird thing happen to me every now and then:
I will get an idea in my head about something; it could be a particular TV show episode, or a song, or anything at all, but later in the day I will encounter exactly what had been the subject of my thoughts.
Like, for instance, I could think of an episode of a TV show. I never watch TV but once a week or so, but that night I'll turn-on the TV and start flipping-through channels -- only to find that that particular episode is playing right then.
Or maybe I can be thinking about some real-world subject; maybe ancient Egyptians, airplane designs, deep-sea exploration, whatever. Later that day someone will bring-up that exact, seldom spoken-of subject in a conversation.
At first you would think it to be all coincidence, but it happens so frequently that I sometimes doubt that it was just coincidence. Perhaps I have some sort of telepathy?

I think that before asking people if they believe themselves to be telepathic, we need to ask if anyone, anywhere, ever has obtained sensory information from the external world in a way that can not be explained through our current understanding of the mind. And then, we must ask if this experience was really supernatural, or just seems to be telepathic in nature because of our limited understanding. Then maybe we can start finding out who among us is a telepath.

Maybe it was swami who always said it, or it was in someone's signature,.... but it was a quote that basically said if psychic powers existed, then casino's wouldn't.

Using purely the powers of my intuition I can manipulate the thoughts of movie posters.

notwithstanding the casino measure of all things (which works well for swami, but he is not here now to explain it in dollars and sense) I do think we are all fundamentally intuitive. occasionally this translates as telepathy.
all of our thought is associative (idea connections via simmilarities), and, when the aggregate of association is finding common keys accross huge ranges of experiences, what crops up can be much too difficult to explain when compared to dealing cards or spinning roulette (i.e. intuition).
oddly when the chance of winning a pot of gold is added into the aggregate, the distortion due to many associations of desire for the free money will bend the intuitive mind forcefully off into goofy karma like directions.
the aggregate of the intuitive mind includes a kind of sense of just self, it works by simmilarity moderated by ballancing.

I think that intuition is a function of our limbic brain, which responds to emotional (non-verbal) cues in our environment, and translates them into gut feelings/hunches.
Casino dealers are unlikely to be very emotional about the upcoming incidence of red/black, Ace of Spades, as they do not know in advance, so we have no cues to read, and no intuitive/limbic response.
I think much of what is interpreted as neo-cortical "telepathy," or reading someone's thoughts, is either a mutual limbic response to environmental cues, or an intuitive reading of someone's non-verbal cues.
Studies in human communication (my original college major) have shown that non-verbal cues convey most of the content in spoken communication:
7% Spoken words 38% Tone of voice 55% Non Verbal
So if we eliminate spoken words and tone of voice, we still have 55% of the "channel" of communication.

Verily great reasoning. 

Case closed, you may all shut the fuck up now. 
 Peace.

I fundamentally agree with communication being derived from the aggregate of combined information from gesture posture mask and all that comes in on every channel (IMO this all-together stuff is the core of intuition - you could be saying that our communication is already largely intuitive)
We need to see the way the limbic system is involved in "feelings" which are compulsion or impulsion oriented - like extra ons to what is happenning - it kicks in juice or voltage in synch with motifs that emerge in the associative process, and it is partially associative controlled both by cortex and hormones.
It is not a thinking piece of the brain, but since it operates as a cranked voltage rhythm organ it could possibly pick up some external matched electical waves (in the air?) and generate something from a sympathetic carrier, but it is more in the way of assent or deny, approach or fight or "run away"

You are lumping together the limbic brain with the reptilian brain. The limbic brain is more recent in our evolution, and less understood than either the neo-cortex or the R-brain.
Roughly, the neo-cortex is what makes us homo sapiens sapiens. It gives us the capacity to consider ourselves, to think about our own thoughts, to analyze.
The limbic brain is responsible for emotional impulses, heart and gut feelings, intuition, connection & bonding with others. Think of the difference in behavior between mammals and reptiles & you see the action of this "center."
The reptilian, or R-brain, is our fight-or-flight center. Survival instincts, aggression, fear, reflexes, all originate here.

"Limbic" is such a funny word.... 
They should have called it The Boink Brain, or something...
Don't ask...

Well, the reptilian brain could accurately be called the "boink, bonk or bolt" brain.
