Speaking through the mind?

Is it turely possible to read another person's mind and acting according to what he or she is thinking?

Being in tune with someone is not what I'm talking about.

Being able to speak to another person through the mind, when the person is not in front of you and having them do exactly what is told or asked of them.

Could it be possible that crazy is not the word I should call myself, even if i do hear voices, see images and feel another person's emotions?

    Many people believe in telepathy which is talking through the mind... not scientifically proven but there is something else scientific...

    ... It is called social intelligence and interpersonal intelligence, people who are gifted with hight rates of these two types of intelligence can act around people as if they can read their minds....

    ... simply because they can understand them.

    Everyone "hears" voices. I repeat, everyone hears voices. These are your mind's voices at work, silently speaking in your brain. These are the same noisy voices that you cannot turn off when you want to go to sleep or when you are sitting quietly and want to meditate. Sort of like having a conversation with yourself.

    One of the many symptoms of a mental illness occurs when we attempt to attribute those voices to someone else or something else other than ourselves. I'm sure you have heard of the classic criminally insane expressing that "The voices told me to do it." Since most people never talk about hearing voices, so that they don't get thought of as insane, people tend to think that hearing voices is something to be avoided. Not possible to avoid although they can be ignored.

    The good news is that the "voices" are from your creative levels of consciousness and can provide you with ideas that are artistic, creative, and even scientifically precise and logical (although not necessarily correct, you still have to test things).

    I should mention that "voices" are only one means that the creative level of your consciousness can communicate. Images, "visions", feelings of any of the senses can be involved in the process. These means tend to get associated with the cultural and religious icons of the society the person is living in. This is the source of the "voice of God" and angelic images that the prophets experienced. This is why many primitive societies associate insanity with being holy or being possessed.

    Feeling like you "feel" someone else's emotions is an illusion and not completely possible. But if you are in proximity with that person you can pick up on physical clues that allow an emotive person to mimic some of the other person's emotions. Being an empath is fairly common, but, again, people try to suppress this aspect of themselves as it tends to interfere with other social obligations and responsibilities. Getting torn apart by every negative emotion from those around us can be debilitating. I speak from experience. You have to learn how to turn it off.

    You should do what you think is best and grow into being a better you. Just don't assume that something supernatural is happening or that you have some "special" talents that 90% of the population already has too.

    Let's say I don't know how you would prove it was impossible. The only problem I have with things like this is distinguishing it from imagination. You see something in your mind, or hear it. Can you personally feel confident that you can distinguish when that is a "real" vision of some sort and when it is imagination? I can't. I simply take it as "data," or "input," and refraining from assigning it a truth value until I see how it fits in with more ordinary input.

    No. I think you should reconsider the word crazy.

    Or more kindly, imaginative and empathic. We are all human and the more you think about someone's condition, the more you might get a sense of what they are feeling.

    It is also common to have a multitude of initially conflicting thoughts about a person or situation. When you confirm reality by calling or checking in, that person reinforces the appropriate choice and that's the one you remember thinking about them.

    Brainwashing is possible.... making another mind think and do whatever is being desired by the boss mind. But of course, in my own self interest, I would rather be the one doing the brainwashing than the one being brainwashed. This is the only way I believe it is possible to remote control another mind... that is to mould it into our desired way of thinking.

    I think that once a certain set of questions are set in motion between like minded people that they can reach a spacial reasoning where they seem present yet are not and an assumption can be made that it is possible.

    I once read that people who are possessed of demons do that, I was once married to an alcoholic who could find me in a crowded city and he would say I was talking to him in his mind telling him where I was or what I was thinking. I came across literature that said Alcoholics are possessed by the demon of alcoholism and that it tells the person it possess things, and the person may appear to have second sight or esp... but it is the demon not the man...

    Speaking through the mind and more is absolutely possible. Just, not everyone can do it. However, if you have these things going on, you probably have other characteristics too... you are just not noticing them. Be careful.

    If the perception deepens, one can almost read or hear the thoughts of others, because thoughts are as physical as material things, the only problem being levels of perception to feel them.
