Poll Has Ptsd Increased Any Physic Abilities?

[Philippa]

Well...I did just "know" that my friend had been in a motorbike accident, even though I was on the other side of the world. I called him and he said it was true, but he was ok, not hurt, so that was the main thing. I did get it wrong at first and thought it was another male friend, but eventually called the right friend and he confirmed it.

About a week after this happened, the words "senility" and "cancer" came into my head, and later in the evening my father called from Australia (I was in WHistler B.C, Canada at the time) to say that my nana had taken a fall and was in a dementia ward, AND my uncle, dad's brother, had liver cancer,so...whether that was due to trauma, I have no way of knowing, though I was traumatized at the time, from memory. Stuff like that had happened a few years earlier for me, but that was when I was intentionally exploring my intuitive abilities and right into metaphysical stuff, so...

I have read that trauma can cause some people to start acting from highly intuitive places in their brain, and I think there is something to that.

Personally, I believe we all the ability if we just tap into it but, most people are stuck in the physical realm of our world and when trauma occurs it opens that portal to the unknown region of the mind allowing us to have a 'view' of what is to come before us - a way to be prepared for the inevitable future and perhaps an opportunity to change the course of our own history.

I had a car Linda Lee, that's gauges were off and caused me frequent anxitey. When emotionally upset, I'd peg the oil pressure gauges and the "temp" gauge. But I learned I don't need to actuallize these things. I wouldn't have needed the confirmation of running out of gas. I would have put what I could afford into my gas tank. I get "likelihoods" and if I react in a way differently I can avoid some consequences. Just sayin'. I write my future, it is not a predestined set of events that are preordained for a lack of a better word.

 

[Linda Lee Bogard - King]

I agree, the option to opt out when a likelihood is present. My deal was the car never had this problem before and I wished that I had followed my intuition to put gas in the vehicle though it 'appeared' to be more gas than there was.

The car was a 76 Ford Elite. Now I have a loaded Buick and I hate to say, but I've been having some difficulty with the battery light and have twice fried the main consul blowing fuses. I had a Chevy where I could change the station just because I didn't like the song. I really need a base model but those are harder to find now. I had a Nissan Pick up, that I loved, but I had to give it up to accomidate my family. I try not to give energy to my car. I got some weird things going on with my wireless too. I have to have "intent". My husband can get on, and we're on the same unit.

 

[The Albatross]

It was extremely aggrivating for my husband to travel with me and as I was getting upset, seeing the gauges peg red. I learned how, after various mechanics checked out the car and could find nothing, to just do a sound "precheck" before a road trip... and ignore the durned things.

 

[The Albatross]

A couple of people have said this is a "negative aura"... I don't really know or care. I just want to quit messing with my wireless and my car.

 

[The Albatross]

Okay I officially sound like a nutter right now. (big sigh)... but my husband would tell you all that and more. We were arguing on I-65 on the way to Atlanta... and 5 lights shut off in a row, and mid rant he added, "and will YOU quit doing that???"

 

[Linda Lee Bogard - King]

Don't fret, when I plan to go somewhere... I think of a parking space close to the entrance and, I always have a space near the front door.

I suppose if you think about it, most of the abuse/trauma that we faced came from the fear of the potential abuse that lied around every corner, and every turn of our lives....we developed a sense of "knowing" when it would happen, a "feeling" inside that would alarm us, and kept us sharp to avoid abuse.....I had to develope a sense of when things would go wrong....it's something I can just feel in the air....it feels thick, and quiet...and still...our bodies are hardwired for combat, and we prepare for it.....I think all PTSD related symptoms are related to combat or "War Fatigue" as I call it.....we've had to fight for our lives, and survived....it's letting it be over to resume your life that's the hard part.

I dreamt about my ex-fiance 18 months before I met him and I've had other dreams that come true and sometimes I pick up on people's thoughts or feelings and know things I couldn't possibly know. The other day I dreamt of a conversation between myself and a colleague hours before it happened.

But I don't think that PTSD is responsible for it. My mom has told me stories of me appearing downstairs saying "Did you call me?" only a few seconds before she was about to and of me making references to things I couldn't possibly know, like before she even knew she was pregnant, I was touching her stomach a lot and smiling. All of these happened before I developed PTSD and if anything, have decreased as symptoms have gotten worse.

I think our antennae (sp?) get an awful lot more acute, and just being hyper aware all the time can allow us to pick up on signals others miss. I'd like to also think that having been through our various trauma we'd be somewhat more tolerant of others belief systems across the board.

For those who require flat science, there's 'The Intention Experiment', by Lynn Tagart, as well as any number of books and papers written by ex- government trained remote viewers. Yes, there's an hysterical movie on the subject but even that gives this field a good nod. It's annoying to have someone throwing what sound like pretentious quotations around and I don't mean to, but I've always liked this one. Plus, it was only in a 101 class I came across the thing when you're young and think Philosophy sounds like a cool Humanities class. :) Immanuel Kant " As something cannot be proven, neither can it be disproven, and must remain forever a Ding an Sich, a thing in itself, and in its ultimate reality unknowable." Sure, there are a ton of kooks and fakes out there, it's inevitable. The point is that it's impossible to state across the board that senses beyond those generally considered 'normal' are just plain not there.

Does having PTSD wreck havoc in the neurological system affect these? I'd have to know more about both subjects to venture an opinion but like a lot of things, it's possible.
