I agree but there has been no study, till now, that looks at the physical manifestations of such interactions. Previously everyone just took it as a given, without proof.
I just responded to a message on the subject.
Something that occurred to me is that science does not acknowledge telepathy. Mainly because of our impression of what telepathy is, projecting organized thoughts and feelings to others. We couldn't justify it because we didn't have a set method. No proof.
Using these methods to test for physical changes from any interaction might reveal the reality of a type of human telepathy.
A telepathy not restricted to proximity, time or space. A telepathy of 'effect' that exerts a change in the physical body.
I put my thoughts on paper. 200 years from now, someone reading those thoughts are calmed by my words. It already happens. We know it happens but till now, couldn't prove it because we didn't know how to look for the changes. We now have the ability to prove it.
To me, that is very significant.
Yes I agree, that is very significant. Knowing something "appears" to be true or real is a lot different that knowing something has been "proven" to be true or real. It seems to have a different effect on how we act with people who say they can feel something others can not, if it can be proved scientifically that is.
And it could have a great impact in the professional fields in helping those with pain to heal or ease their pain.
With the actual proof maybe more natural remedies can be implemented and which will lessen some of the need for pharmaceutical drugs.
Another thought I'm having is the way it will change the idea that we don't need others in order to feel good. I believe we do need others in our lives, it improves our quality of life. I believe it can become unhealthy when we believe we can't survive without someone, but that's different that the basic need for nurturing and touch.
There were studies done that I read about in college. Infants who were touched more than those who weren't tended to be healthier physically as well as emotionally.
Wow, I also ready about the infant nurturing studies.
If I recall correctly, the results were suggestions made by observation of personality. I don't remember physiological measurements being made.
I've recently seen quite a few scientific break-thrus concerning chemical reactions related to mental capacity. Even research into the criminal gene. Our biological science is beginning a new chapter in understanding how our bodies work. We can detect subtle differences that were beyond our abilities just a few years ago.
These new techniques allow us to make new associations between stimuli and physical reaction.
Everyone has heard of audio soothing and meditation. Fewer people know of color therapy. Science is gaining the ability to put those therapies to scientific proof. I find it fascinating.
Our scientific understanding of how the mind and brain actually work is relatively small in the scope of things. While we have mapped the mind and understand rudimentary functions, the mind is a complex human condition.
Just like when we touch a hot surface we jerky our hand away, we also secrete substances in our brains as a reaction. Measuring those substances is only part of the equation. Its a chain reaction that we are just beginning to map out.
Empathy is thought of as a spiritual ability. What if there is a physical aspect to it that can be measured and duplicated? A physical ability like coordination? Can it be honed to precision?
Is this the beginning of a new era of enlightenment for our species? What if it is common in all lifeforms? A connection with other species?
I'll be working soon, so don't have time to fully respond to this.
I believe empathy is far more than spiritual. It's possible to literally feel another's pain, physically and emotionally. I have received another's back pain when giving them Reiki or a massage. And I get sensory overload from too much energy in the room or environment.
And then there is sympathy pains some husbands get when their wife is having a baby.
Very interesting stuff Tom, I add more later.
