PARAPSYCHOLOGY

The study of mental phenomena which are excluded from or inexplicable by orthodox scientific psychology.

ψ is the unknown factor in the ESP and PK experience which cannot be explained by known physical or biological mechanisms.

Para-psychology is divided into two main branches:

■EXTRA-SENSORY PERCEPTION (ESP)

The study of the communication ostensibly without the known sensory organs.

□CLAIRVOYANCE

Clairvoyance is the psychic ability to gain information about an object, person, location, or physical event.

□TELEPATHY

Telepathy is the purported vicarious transmission of information from a person's mind to another person's mind without using any known human sensory channels or physical interaction.

□PRECOGNITION

Precognition is the purported psychic phenomenon of viewing, or otherwise becoming directly aware of events in the future.

□PSYCHOMETRY

Psychometry is a form of extrasensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to glean accurate knowledge of an object's history by making physical contact with that object.

■PSYCHOKINESIS (PK) The study of the physical events that apparently occur without the involvement of any recognized motor organs.

UFO - ESP

[uschi-the-listener]

I love

the creepy little faces

Everywhere

Idly you look

At a sheet of plywood

It looks back at you

Quizzically

Like it just noticed

You have a face

I love

when I walk past

Weedy little flowers

They sway and bounce

Sniffing the breeze

From my pantlegs

Smiling and silly

I love

the smooth river rock

Lying by the walk

I just look

And I can feel it

Taste it on my tongue

Just by looking

Our senses

Which I also love

Are the only way

We know the world

They are the tip

Of the iceberg

There are hints

Of unknown

Wonders

All around

Introduction:

🔮🕯️ — I manifest my blog finds you when you need it!

I’m the Haunted Greenwitch & I decided to start this blog to showcase & archive my personal witchcraft & spellwork.

No, I do not worship the Devil, consider myself Wiccan, or use Sage in my practices.

Witchcraft for me has always been a means of self-care & meditation. Something for me to focus on, that gives me time to reflect on what’s important & to relieve anxiety with. It also continues to be a major part of my grieving & healing process.

I’ve considered myself a witch since I was a child & have yet to “outgrow” the benefits of spell-work, journaling, foraging, connection & positive thinking that witchcraft promotes in me.

I hope you find this inspirational, slightly informational, not at all educational, & overall wholesomely comforting in some way.

Hope you have a wonderful day, every day.

The Unheard Mind: Listening to the Telepathic Voices in Autism

The human experience has long been fascinated by the enigmatic concept of extra-sensory perception, with telepathy being a particularly intriguing and debated aspect. Recently, a novel approach to understanding this phenomenon has emerged through the lens of non-speaking autistic children and their families, as explored in "The Telepathy Tapes" podcast. This investigation into telepathic experiences within these families offers a unique platform for marginalized voices, shedding light on a previously overlooked form of communication that challenges conventional understanding.

By delving into the lives of non-speaking autistic children, the podcast highlights the profound connections that exist beyond verbal language. These children, often navigating a world that struggles to comprehend them, have inspired reports of deep, unexplainable connections with their caregivers. Rather than dismissing these accounts, "The Telepathy Tapes" validates and explores them, providing a nuanced examination of the interplay between neurological diversity, familial bonds, and the human experience of the unknown.

The intersection of autism, family dynamics, and the paranormal presents a complex backdrop for studying telepathic phenomena. The emotional connections within these families, intensified by the challenges and triumphs of caregiving, may indeed facilitate or amplify these experiences. Through this exploration, the podcast may uncover not only insights into telepathy but also the transformative ways in which love, care, and the human spirit transcend conventional communication barriers.

The broader implications of this project are significant, with the potential to redefine our understanding of human consciousness, communication, and empathy. Validation of telepathic experiences within these families could lead to more inclusive and innovative communication strategies, benefiting both the autism community and other groups facing communication challenges. Moreover, acknowledging the reality of telepathy in this context encourages the public to reassess their perceptions of the paranormal and human potential for non-verbal connection, fostering a more empathetic and open-minded society.

Throughout this endeavor, it is crucial to prioritize ethical considerations, ensuring a respectful approach that safeguards the dignity and privacy of the subjects while avoiding sensationalism. Collaboration with experts in autism, ethics, and transparency in methodology are vital to contributing positively to the represented communities.

Day 7 - 23.07.2023

Free day | Forbidden love | Moving in together

Weighing operational risk is tricky when your life is on one side of the scale. It's even worse when your Beloved teleports next to you. 

“What's it going be? After a career spent doing bad things for so-called good reasons, it's hard to say exactly where you draw the line.”

“I’m here,” is all Jason says. 

Batman grunts.

Damian'd had enough hours ago. He raised a fist to rest his head, and was not at all tempted to puch the table. Just for something interesting to do. But he put up with the bureaucracy of the Justice League, joined by the LD: Dark, Raven’s NightForce, the Outlaws, because after his rant about how they would ”together” a couple of nights ago, he felt he couldn't complain. Well not too much.

Raven, speaking with the Zataras’ threw a quick smirk his way. Beloved probably got feedback from their bond, making his expression of polite disinterest as Batman and RedHood gripped at each other over logistics, useless. 

Damian had always known that father loved Todd. You don't react the way father did when Jason died if you are indifferent. His father would have committed murder, taken a life which was so against his principles, his trauma that obviously Damien knew his father felt the loss of someone he loved deeply. Someone who was family. 

Similarly, you don't become the Red Hood and use guns, the very weapon that killed your mentor's parents, if you yourself didn't feel too much. But now that he shared Raven's empathy, Damian glimpsed the purple within the red of hate and anger, and whiere is lightned to blue and lilac. He experienced what the hurt meant. How Jason Todd the street rat orphan felt about his city, and how the Multi-billionaire orphan felt. And how they both were desperately trying but failing to meet in the middle.

Specifically, today sitting beside his father and across from his brother is all but blood, Damian was forced to observe and perceive everything from their aura to their mood, their words gave to the overtone and undertone. Between the lines of what was being said by his brother and his father.

And now, as he had a better understanding of their dynamic and history, Damien was forced to contend with what Raven lived every single second of her life. He had to grapple with the fact that she may never take anyone's side because after you literally walked a mile and somebody else issues, all the presumptions and assumptions were useless. There could be no judgement, only empathy and compassion.

Maybe exasperated!

The months after he and Raven became one, Damien would get impressions of magic. He could send something that he couldn't before. That dimmed to some extent when Raven was captured. His extra sensory perception was dampened and he could only get impressions of Raven's feelings and emotions. Everything changed when Raven and Damien promised to be together. It was implied forever and always. a vow that was more than words. it had intent. And now these last few days Damien had a better understanding on what it meant to be Raven. Other peoples aura, moods was one thing, but sometimes there was a tactile sense involved. This morning he punched Donna and it was as if he had punched himself. He was so surprised that he actually took Donna's knee to his abdomen, not being fast enough to block it! and then to add insult to injury, he felt Donna's second-hand embarrassment for him at not deflecting her!

So, even though he was hurt Raven'd hesitated. The gut punch when he saw in his Beloved’s eyes the need to flee. The need to shut down. To leave everything behind, including him!  Damien, who had been frantic with worry, but had controlled it, so as not to be useless when it came time to find her! fight for her!

Him, who had worked to master the magical bond between them so that he may actually find her. 

And then finally, after dealing with the Outlaws and the NightForce and the worst one Constantine, and after fighting monsters that would give any sane person nightmares, when Damian reached his beloved, his precious one, she all but flinched. Raven was conflicted about Damian. The home they built with each other. She looked at her captor, the man-child Klarion as if he understood her better than Damien did. These last few days had been an experience in humility. He thought he understood how Raven an empath half-deamon walked lived. Just like he judged the dynamic between his brother and his father. So now he had to grapple with the fact that even the things he knew were actually those he only presumed to know. 

Under the conference table, a soft hand covered his clenched fist.  He got the impression of the heat of his wrist clasped in as if his own much smaller hand, while also the sense of the actual touch of Raven on him. 

The dual perceptions while not entirely new were nonetheless, jarring.

Slowly, with each breath all extra sensory perception reseeded. And he was alone in his head. He breathed a sigh of relief. To be himself again. Atlast. Then instantly Damian felt ashamed. 

Damian took a deep breath, and let it out. Well, he’d promised her unfiltered Damian. Whether he liked it or not, he was glad to be himself again. Turning to face her, Damien waited for condemnation in her eyes. Superman commanded the room. Calling an end to the break and people started to trickle back to their seats. Many paused to speak with Raven, get her opinion on something, in sympathy or a clarification of some earlier discussion. Mostly, she got nods in support.

The meeting was called to order. To my relief and chagrin, now was not the time and place to have an honest personal discussion.

With a single gesture from Raven’s free hand, a little cloud of darkness, bound towards the centre of the table and with a flash of purple light, the darkness created a 3-D render of the caverns where Raven had been held. 

Questions were asked. How many of the kidnapped were in the caves? 

From the central cavern, where the ceiling was so high it had its own cloud system, the perspective zoomed and panned in till finally, it stopped, vaguely humanoid figures close to 100 in number, cowering under a low ceiling father into the earthen complex. 

The Hawks inquired about the presence of Nth metal. To which Raven relayed the impressions, she was able to make out while incase in it, and the information relayed by the Cavern system itself. 

“From what I understand, the metal has sense, an autonomy of sorts. Its properties such that it can restrict or disrupt magic or enhance.” 

“The Metal decides?” Victor Stone his human brow raised. 

Raven and everyone looked at the Hawks seated on the JL side of the table.

Hawkgirl nodded in grim fascination. As if to say that’s right, but these are secrets of my home world. Specific to Thanagar. Their crash in ancient Egypt was considered to be the only source on earth. The fact that the transuranic metal was naturally occurring and abundant on earth, confirmed by a second magician, added orange of mild alarm to the Hawk couple’s warrior-like aura.

And Damian could sense others’ emotions again. But with Raven holding his hand, literarily, the impressions were nebulous, not easily confused with his own feelings or opinions. Like reading micro-expressions or body language. One had to be careful not to mimic behaviour. Here too, he’d have learned to take in the information. Be aware of it, without internalising or rectory.

It was a wonder Raven mediated so much.        

“Are their other cavern systems?” Batman asked.

“Ancient sites, co-opted by the agents of chaos? Yes. I have an impression of a few and so would everyone with me in the cavern.”

Constantine bobbed his ‘cigi’ in confirmation. Asshole ashed right on the state-of-the-art console. 

The Zatara boy’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he squeaked a nervous yes.  

In his peripheral, not vision, but a perception nonetheless, Raven was amused at his inner monologue. And Damian realised he’d instinctively reached for Raven, which opened their bond. A bond that created a private channel between just them. It was like passing notes in class. Under the teacher’s eyes, Damian was as if a backbencher, whispering a running commentary, while Raven tried hard to keep her face impassive. 

Damian remembered days at Titans base during Grayson’s droning, Raven made astute humorous observations in his ears. And he’d quirk a brown in response. 

Or how their eyes would meet across a battlefield, Raven go high and Damian going low, absolute clarity, a moment of connection, culminating into a perfect takedown. 

He’d honed situational awareness from before he could walk. Being Talia Al- Ghul’s son he could do no less. Damian found that  at some point his awareness included Raven’s position in real-time. An instinct, like sensing a throwing star even if he couldn’t see it. A strike beyond the 180º line of sight. While in combat, focused, where nothing could faze him, Damian realised he’d look for Raven. 

When Father sent him off to the Titans, I  don’t think he banked on me making a genuine emotional connection. He thought I’d make friends, sure. Even after the thing with Grayson and Kori, Father was rather short-sighted when it came to me. Now he was mildly nervous for his youngest, loving one of the most powerful beings on earth, with a complicated history to match his own. And it had been terrifying, looking at himself through his father's eyes. But, if the trade-off was being without Raven, being with her but only half-heartedly, then he would learn to handle it. Insignificant as a candle in a hurricane. 

Yet this, this perfect understanding between them, sharing a whole conversation in a look, a shorthand developed over years of history and conflict and partnership. And now a tangible metaphysical bond, to know what he felt was returned! That was everything.

Given his ESP, how do you think Silver would do in a sensory deprivation tank?

I read this ask this morning, promptly went "Oh, that sounds AWFUL," looked it up, read on Wikipedia that it's a water-filled tank, went "OH GOD", and only afterwards saw that it's only up to 25 centimeters and supposed to be an 'alternative medicine' kind of thing. But that was definitely an experience in the early hours of the day, lmao.

As for Silver and his ESP, he's never ever actually indicated having extra-sensory perception. In the Rivals games ESP/Psychic Control refers to him scrambling his opponents sense of direction, which is not at all having knowledge of events happening far away or at different times than the present, haha. Nor does the sense of precognition that TSR hints at him having developed mean the same... maybe. But on the other hand, we do have ESP Silver from Runners, who's "discovered his true power" and constantly floats with his psychokinesis, but where his "true power" is otherwise left unexplained. So I am a bit on the fence regarding whether Silver's powers also allow for "having awareness" of his surroundings in a more psychic sense, but it doesn't seem impossible to me either.

But to be quite honest, I actually think Silver's mentality/personality is going to cause him far more issues in a sensory deprivation tank/float tank than his powers do. I figure that he'll have to have absolutely nothing on his hands to be able to enjoy such an experience. The moment he's got any mission, he'll be far too crabby and tense to be able to relax, focusing far more on the fact he's not actively doing anything to bring it to a good end than on the calming aspects of the tank. Thus, he might feel as if he's wasting his time just floating around there, even more because he can just float with his own powers (even if that is not in water with Epsom salt plus sensory deprivation, but Silver's more simple-minded mentality might not make a big distinction between all that). I don't think he'll feel particularly claustrophobic if it's a pod since he can just teleport out again, but overall I doubt it'll be a particularly pleasant experience for him. Nor can I say with certainty how the sensory deprivation aspect of it all will affect him or his powers. But if he's got a mission on his hands, he'll probably decline going in there in the first place, I feel like. And if he doesn't have anything to do and accepts, I don't think he'll be able to stay very long regardless. But since psychokinesis is a power of the mind, I am definitely curious how such an experience would play into them!

Speaking as someone who is claircognizant I always loved the way Joyce described how she found out about Dawn not being her daughter.

She says it’s “knowledge that just came to her” that she “just knew”

There’s only ever one other character throughout the whole Buffyverse that explains their psychic abilities like that and that’s Cordelia. Even though Cordelia primarily gets visions, so she’s primarily clairvoyant, she can also feel what the people she’s seeing in the visions are feeling physically and emotionally too. And on top of that… she “just knows”.

It’s nice to be represented with this every now and again. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in having these experiences. Of course it’s a fictional supernatural show but every now and again, fiction does cross with real life. The Clairs (or ESP) are very much real. While everybody else is talking about magic and fantasy. Stuff you can only find in fiction, you have the characters Joyce and Cordelia explaining and dealing with the real shit.

And I don’t know. I just always loved that about Joyce in this episode.

Expanding Beyond Our Five Senses

We begin our journey into the world through our five senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. In our earliest stages, this limited sensory input is often all we can manage. However, if we continue to engage with the world solely through these five senses, we may mistakenly believe that the world itself is limited to them. This narrow perspective constrains our experience and potential. As…

a minor headcanon that I will die defending is that reigen initially assumed that mob’s supposed “psychic powers” were just how he rationalized his autism to himself. like here’s an obviously autistic kid, one reigen clocks immediately because he’s, well, reigen, and he’s talking about extra sensory perception and having powers he can’t control, powers that are scary. obviously, he assumes, this is something the kid picked up from his parents, a way for him to rationalize his alienation from other children— that no, you’re not “different”, you’re special (not even going into the parents who think their autistic children are like, aliens) and the other kids can see that you’re special and so they treat you like you’re weird and creepy and they don’t invite you to play and they whisper behind your back but it’s fine, because one day they’ll see how special you really are. and adult autistic reigen arataka, who was also probably-definitely bullied as a child, decides to nip that thought in the bud and gives the whole spiel, that no, “psychic powers” (autism) don’t make you special, and yes, they do make you different, and that’s fine because everyone’s different, and at the end of the day you have agency and you get to decide the kind of person you’ll be, so choose to be a kind one, and he sees this kid hanging off his every word as he tells him the kind of stuff he wishes someone had told him when he was so little and alone, and he mentally pats himself on the back and hypes himself up for another cigarette.

and then the kid makes a teacup float in front of him and he’s like oh. damn. can you kill ghosts

10 facts about Sixth Sense : Is it real ?

In a normal individual, perception occurs through the five physical senses. Extrasensory perception (ESP) or sixth sense is a perception of the mind, perceived an event, circumstances, or prediction, through telepathy, clairvoyance or precognition. This is independent of the normal five sensory senses so it is regarded a paranormal ability. Through the centuries, from primeval times, many people,…

Callsign: Infinity (Thunderbolts x Autistic!Thunderbolt!Reader)

Description: Being a member of the Thunderbolts and being Autistic

a/n: This is partially self-indulgent since I am autistic myself, I am also including stuff for other autistics as well, so let me know how I've done!

a/n: sensory problems, meltdowns, sensory overload, harmful stimming, anything i missed? let me know

gif credit: @deniable-masterpiece,

The Thunderbolts are a rambunctious, often snarky and sarcastic, rag-tag group of anti-heroes

To the average person that sounds like an absolute disaster - and since Valentina recognized your meticulousness as an assassin and frankly detailed reports, she thought you would be the perfect fit

Alexei was the first to welcome you with open arms, quite literally squeezing you in a hug - you appreciated the pressure, but you still stiffened

Once he let go you did relax, but kept your distance, going to the others to shake their hands

He was a little unsure about your reaction, but he didn't think much of it

Yelena and Bob were the first people you actually told you were autistic to - the three of you are thicker than thieves, so it felt almost natural to say it to them

You explained to them how you couldn't make eye contact very well, and that you required some extra help in certain social situations

Yelena was up to the task, almost taking you under her wing like a little sibling, Bob gave you a hug (with permission) and told you that you could go to him if you needed anything, and vice versa

Though you didn't exactly tell the rest of the team about your autism, your behaviours spoke for themselves

Ava was next to notice - she saw you picking at your skin. You weren't stressed or anything, you just did it because you could

She eventually came up to you and asked what you were doing - once you explained stimming and what it did for you, she immediately caught on

Even on some occasions, when she sees you rocking back and forth on your feet, she just joins you so you don't feel too alone

John and Bucky are a duo waiting for disaster, but when it comes to you, the two of them finally agree on something for a change

You have particular sensory needs when in and away from the tower

In terms of florescent lights and extreme sounds, John is the first to react, giving you military certified headphones and a pair of shades to keep yourself from reacting negatively

Bucky helps you out in other senses, like taste and texture, always getting your opinion on material for updates on the team's suits since you like to search for his arm to hold when overwhelmed

He always goes to you like you will go to him

Finally, you have Alexei, the first person to make himself known to you, aside from how awkward it may have been

He really wanted to look out for you, he just didn't know how - until an extreme case caused him to react like his life depended on it

The two of you were in the tower alone, Alexei was having a go at baking when the smoke alarm started to blare

You threw your hands over your ears, despising the sound and he desperately tried to silence the blaring - once he did, he went straight to you to check you were okay

He's like a human weighted blanket, bringing you close to hold you tight, telling you everything is alright and telling you to remember to breathe

Once you soothed, you smiled at him, quietly thanking him as you calmed - Alexei felt accomplished, and that he sort of redeemed himself from the first time you both met

To draw this to a close, the team are incredibly accommodating - looking out for you, but respecting that you can indeed take care and handle yourself

Being autistic didn't change their perceptions of you really, just that you needed a little extra help

That was something all of you could agree on and hold each other to indefinitely
