Empathy.

[f3n1xhvn732]

Some born with it (in more or less degree), others have to develope it, some are incapable of it (for example, the sociopaths).
But there is a type of empathy that is "sobrenatural" (oh god(s), I hate that word). This permit you to feel other people´s feelings but also modify them. I like to call it "psychic empathy".

If you dont know much about it here is a great link:

So lets start with the guide for be an empath, step by step.

First step you need to practice "sensiblity".

You need to start trying to feel the same that other people around you when you see them. It need a little of intuition and probably is not paranormal at first, it will be (for those who think that this step is "psychological" you are right, but before you try anything you have to learn how to "tune" or "synchronice" with others).

The secon step is to "tune" yourself.
For example, when you start feeling the other people feelings, then try to feel something intnsively but without losing "connection". It sound extrange, and could be difficult at fist, but then it becomes natural. (some visualize a rope, others a door to enter, others only "feel right" with intuition)

The third step is to transfer feelings, without you became affected.
This is nore complicated that it sounds. First you have to develope "feeling control" of yourself, the capacity of feeling something at will. This is accomplished by concentration on a memory that triggers some emotion then writing the emotion (or a sigil of it) down and link it with the feeling itself. Then when you have it, you can "tune" yourself with someone, visualize the word (or sigil) in the other and then "disconnect" from him "emotionally" not psychically. It will take time at first and complicated emotions or persistent mood changes are difficult to obtain. Fear, sexual arousal,sadness and happiness are great for start, since they are primordial and have clear signs a plain saight if working.

I hope this help some of you to reach your potential.

Althoght I learned empirically here´s a link that if I knew back then could have been a lot of help:

Empathy is not a paranormal feat. With the exception of severe mental disorders, children as young as 18 months begin to display signs of empathy, and soon after sympathy.

Here is an article that basically outlines anything I would have to say on the subject:

You don´t understand. Have you read it? There are two kinds of empathy, "normal" empathy and "paranormal" empathy. When you start influencing other people feelings you know its the second one. Its the first step to telepthy. I know beacause I can do that. I influence other people feelings, I have proved it, I make one friend cry at a distance (it was not suggestion, I didn´t say what to feel). Also at one time I made a girl cry, then to be scared, then to feel pain, then to smile (all that was repeated in cycle, three times, in the period of 30 minutes). She doesn´t even notice me, I was sitting in the bus behind her. Her changes were extreme and inexplicable for other possible explanations.

All days I practice new forms of transfering feelings and manipulate other people thouhgts with 99% of success.

Edit: About the thing of my friend he known that I was trying to influence him (I was behind him in a experiment as a matter of demostration, he believed me, but wanted to watch it himself). What he doesn´t knew is the feeling I was trying to "transfer". I decided sadness because he was not particulary sad, so it could be a great demostration.

I have read it, and although this type of thinking is common among the OEC, I find that I fundamentally disagree with it.

Influencing people's feelings is not paranormal. It is the the most fundamental form of manipulation.

When you start talking about manipulating people using non-mundane means, then it quickly ceases to have anything to do with actual empathy. Then you are getting into the area of telepathy, mind control, etc... which has almost nothing to do with empathy.

My views are that if you are going to talk about empathy, then talk about empathy. If you are going to talk about telepathy and mind control, then talk about those. Empathy and telepathy are not in any way synonymous, for reasons outlined in the link I posted previously.

It can be truth.
But also you need empathy for "empathic manipulation". You can´t have one without another. You can have "mind" manipulation (thoughts), but from I experienced and others in the forum that I was, is extremely difficult without the "empathic link". Without this is nearly impossible (later when you have experience you can "block" the empathy, but when starting is impossible using the empathic link technique).

I mention empathic link because is "connected" with the frecuence of the person (or people) you are trying to influence. You can feel directly like the other people feels like when is happening to you. Also the great majority of telepathic "talents" that I know started being empaths. And are more poofs of this "spiritual conection". For example, I copied at least two psicokinesis (fragokinesis and electrokinesis) of other poeple only by this method (empathic link) even if that wasn´t my intention. So empathy (paranormal) is more like a "resonance" or union of minds (or parts of the mind) between the empath and the other.

If you still think think that telepathy in this way is not "empathy" I could change the name of the post to "empathic telepathy" or something like that.

Empathy is one of those interesting things everyone has, but almost no one sees just how to use it to it's maximum potential.

Some practitioners view empathy as a branch of telepathy, but I consider it a separate, but related ability.

Empathy is similar to telepathy, but instead of thoughts or mental images you focus more on the aural quality of emotions which are USUALLY less fleeting and chaotic then people's thoughts.

A person with empathy doesn't always appear to be sensitive, they may also seem apathetic, because they are able to control their own emotion better than their ability to perceive the emotions of others. Another possibility is the use of Masking one's true emotional state. Like when you have to deal annoying people you can't simply tell to fuck off, you put forth an appearance of interest and politeness. The only difference between that and what an empath does is that the empath's mask is typically more thorough or harder to see through. Basically it's like comparing jeans and a t-shirt to camouflage. It's a handy ability all in all.

Now then there are supposedly empaths that have more control over the emotions that they are affected by. These empaths tend have a very neutral feeling about them.

When you get the basics of using empathic abilities you have a better perception that varies only upon how close your relationship is with the emotional origin IE the person you are trying to read.

Other empaths can feel the emotion to a lesser extent with a broader range of people, meaning people they hardly know; this is considered a sign of a rather skilled empath or it can mean someone is better at general empath readings than specific narrowed readings.

Emapthy is one of the "quiet" ability, you don't really notice it unless it's pointed out to you or if you're able to pick up on it through practice.

Some empaths have no control over their power, which can be a scary thing constantly picking up on people's emotions around you especially in big crowds. A sign of a natural untrained empath is sometimes a severe aversion to crowds for no apparent reason.

An empath does not have any control over another's emotions; at least at first.

Manipulating another person's emotional state can be tricky and usually requires a good amount of focus. It's similar to aural manipulation in theory, but is usually more focused where as aural manipulation can be done as an area affect.

Anyways that's a boil down of what i know.

Ugh so much typing.
