If a psychic can read minds, when s/he reads a person's mind who can't spell and the person writes it down,?

does the psychic misspell the same words in the same way? It would be a good experiment. I am sure many people will write and say that they get impressions, not a word for word message. That would be a convenient explanation.

    OK, so I'm confused, do you believe in psychics or NOT believe in psychics? Your question does not make sense unless you believe they can actually DO what they say. I do NOT believe that anyone has any psychic abilities. James Randi, a well known skeptic, has offered a million dollars to anyone who can prove they have psychic or paranormal abilities. See the offer at: http://www.randi.org/ for details. Anyway, misspelling words would not be a valid proof of psychic ability as there is no way to reproduce the results. For any test to be valid as proof, you have to be able to reproduce the same results under scrutiny at any time or place, and to date, no one has been able to do this. Now, if YOU can DO this, apply for James Randi's million dollars!

    Well if you can read their body language that often can lead to reading their mind. People are like books they keep their emotions on their sleeves. Even when trying to convey or hint about something the way they go about it reveals so much more. Airports and shopping malls are two perfect places to sit and watch and study people. You can learn a lot from this.

    Hello

    Mind reading is either done via the emotional closeness of 2 people or via body language, not really a psychic skill.

    I think a real psychic who can "read" minds reads through the thoughts. words are only of the physical world anyway.

    Yes, you're right for every profoundly valid point such as yours, there is an equally valid explanation. But I admit, that would be fun to try, that would prove it.

    it would make for some funny miscommunication. perhaps a great cartoon about how what is trying to get said doesn't get said and the wrong people fall for each other and learn about life that way

    maybe the mind reader interpreters the others feeling and words for their mind but automatically translates it in to spelt english does this make sense what do you think

    i dont think there are such thinks as physics, but if they are,it means they are just good at telling what ppl think by looking at their expressions or something
