ESP?

When I meet most people I can typically feel that person and the emotions they are carrying with them at the moment.  I notice small gestures.  I know their thoughts before they give voice to their words.  I have had several different people in my life label me as a mind reader.  In fact, when Josh and I dated long distance we spent many hours on the phone and he took great pleasure in making me guess the number he was thinking.  Skeptical?  I was too.  However, over the years I have come to recognize this for what it is: a spiritual gift.

I can’t “read minds.”  If you were to randomly call me up and ask me to tell you what you were thinking, I would probably be at a loss.  I can however, if a person is open with themselves and not guarded, connect with that person on a level that is beyond casual greetings.  Often times the person is unaware of my connection at all, but if they are open I can share thoughts and feelings with the individual.

I want you to really think about this in your life.  Haven’t you had that moment with a loved one where you think something and seconds later that person says they exact thing you thought and it is usually obscure enough to seem like a coincidence?  I think instances like these are our spirits communicating.  What about those days when all day long you keep thinking about a person and when you finally call they verify they too had been thinking of you all day.  Now this is a silly example, but it illustrates my point: My best friend and I lived on opposite sides of the country.  I gave her a call and the entire time I was on the phone with her I had the desire to color.  I voiced my desire and she laughed, admitting to me she had been trying all day to indulge herself in that very same activity, an activity neither one of us did often or even at all.

Does the thought of sharing ideas seem so impossible?  Why can people know exactly what we are saying and talking about when we have only gotten one word out of our mouth?  I believe emotions too can be shared in this same form of communication.

Haven’t you ever just walked by a person and you could feel their loneliness, sadness, anger, etc?  Forget body language for the moment.  Haven’t you ever been in a room with someone and just felt so strongly the vibes they were giving off?  People refer to this as the sixth sense, being overly observant, or ESP.  I think it is just the spirit inside these mortal vessels communicating the way they always have, just with the extreme limitations of our carnal bodies here on Earth.  Isn’t this just taking your “gut instinct” a step further?

I believe some people are more in tune with this spiritual communication, but I believe it is something that can be learned as well.  Be honest, does this seem farfetched, or is it something you can see being true?  Have you ever had experiences like these?
