where do ideas come from? where do thoughts come from?

they arise from the chemical processes within the brain
EDIT: clearly you aren't aware of a great many things.

LOL cute.. you'd be amazed of the things I am aware of

However your vague questioning could point to many different things
what is your favourite movie from the laast couple years?

I'd have to go with the feel good family movie Martyrs

so you are 100% aware 100% of the time?

Did I say that? We have a subconscious that does all kinds of mental processing that we're not aware of.

What does not being aware 100% of the time have to do with making insanely large leaps of faith to unproven premises?
 
if you have no clue what is going on in your own mind... why should you be allowed to have an opinion on things you dont know, understand or comprehend....?

is telepathic communication considered supernatural? what about sourcery?

Telepathy will soon be deemed natural I think. Its something thats happening all the time, everywhere, and we dont even know it. Our thoughts are not confined to our head, they are constantly leaving and we are constantly picking up slivers of other thoughts as well. Atm science is unable to measure these mysterious energies but I think we'll live to see the day where a lot of these irrational "ideas" get turned into objective knowledge and no longer exclusively available to those with personal experiences.

You claim that it happens all the time everywhere, yet there is not a single real case on record anywhere. Not a single demonstrated case ever, anywhere, by anybody. You cannot provide a single case. No one can demonstrate this ability either. 100% of the attempts have failed. Every single case, without a single exception, has not worked.
 
In a universe that is infinite the potential for extra-terrestrial life existing is not a probability it is a mathematical certainty. The universe is filled with life, the odds that we are alone are incalculable. If you want a polaroid to prove this you might just mull it over....the whole infinity thing and what that entails.

It does happen all the time and everywhere, but it is very sporadic and inconsistent because we are completely oblivious about this subconscious ability we have and it gets shrugged off as coincidence most of the time. And yes, a lot of scam artists and goofballs looking for a buck have tried and failed when trying to demonstrate this ability. Im very grateful to know some honest goofballs who have a tiny bit of control over these mysterious spiritual capabilities :mrgreen:. Like I said, I hope this knowledge spreads beyond personal experiences like mine and others. I hope one day my friends quit looking down upon scientists as blind wonderers of reality and take part in some studies to help make this knowledge known. I dont think they'll be able to be the first to step forward to lead the revolution of knowledge, that'd be a bit too much for them lol.

Just because you repeat something many times does not make it true. What you're describing NEVER happens to me or anyone I've ever spoke to about it, so it's erroneous to say it happens all the time and everywhere. You cannot cite one case (save for your supposed personal experience)...

Yes, one case proven would be a good place to start. Sure beats zero...

You've never thought about something and then a friend randomly brings up what you're thinking about or vise versa? Happens to me quite often, though I think I send more than I receive and only with people I have a personal connection with like my co-worker, a few of my best friends, my dad, and so on. Things like these arent even noticed most of the time and are labelled coincidence when they are noticed. The only reason I dont label them as coincidences is because of my experiences and how everything seems to make sense because of my experiences.

I know me talking about my experiences gives you a bitter taste in your mouth lol but Im not gunna stop. I've had a couple people on these boards believe me but none you'd consider credible. I know intelligent people enjoy what I have to say, thats been showcased more than a few times, the last being the like I got on a comment one page ago. I dont know if those people believe or disbelieve, but I do know they find my words interesting and they use them to play around with their ideas and possibilities. I think theres more intelligent on lookers on this site that like my posts, not just the ones that have shown their appreciation.

Sure, I've experienced that coincidence. I have just trained my mind not to be as susceptible as your own to confirmation bias. You may also be easier to read than I am. Out of all the things I think of when I'm with friends, they may guess what I'm thinking one out of a thousand times. I remember the hits, but I also remember all the misses, and it is the misses that most people seem to forget. If there were anything telepathic going on, it would happen more often than not...

Your story was entertaining the first ten times or so, but it's hard for anyone to effectively ride one story for years. Now it's just like Neveah's shit, so many dead horses...

I've even liked some of your posts, the more lucid ones. Your skeptical wit can be great, but you've only demonstrated that you can direct it outward, never toward yourself...

In a universe of random possibilities, coincidence is expected. If we were to observe a universe where no coincidence ever took place we would have decent reason to believe something is controlling it all.


"But mathematical illiteracy plays a role in perpetuating not just equation ignorance, but pseudoscience. Not understanding just how much of your life is governed by randomness generates many a fallacious belief about the way that the world works. It should be clearly understood that randomness creates coincidence. That is to say, if there were no coincidences in life, we could speculate that some outside force is controlling the events in our lives. However, with true randomness comes the expectation that coincidences will happen: there will be cancer clusters, your friend will call you just when you were thinking about them, and last night’s dream will have somehow “predicted” the events of the following day."

"Probabilities are defined as relative measures in something called the “sample space,” which is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment—such as drawing a card out of a well-shuffled deck, rolling a fair die, or spinning a roulette wheel. We generally assume that every elementary outcome of the experiment (any given card or any of the possible numbers, in the case of dice or roulette) has an equal likelihood, although the theory can handle sample spaces with varying likelihoods as well. If we can define a sample space in a real-world situation that may not involve a game of chance, then we can measure probabilities through this sample space.

In its essence, the idea of coincidences could be explained (somewhat simplistically) using a deck of cards. Drawing the ace of spades out of a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards is a relatively rare event: Its probability is only 1 in 52. We compute it using the mathematical rule that divides the size of the event, one card (if we’re talking about drawing any ace, this would be a size of four), by the size of the sample space for drawing a card out of a deck, which is 52, the total number of cards.
But if every day of your life you draw a card out of a deck, you can be sure to see the ace of spades sometimes. In fact, you expect this to happen roughly once in 52 draws. It is the fact that cards can be drawn repeatedly out of a deck (with reshuffling after every draw) that makes rare events show up."
