Okay. The thing is, telepathy IS an ability shared by MOST humans, right?
It's not rare, not by a long shot. Most people can read and send thoughts. You guys don't think that only "special," "sensitive" people can get it, do you? Because it is in my experience that pretty much everybody has it. Everybody old enough. I didn't have it a year ago. I do now. My whole friggin' college does.
I am 19. My friend's 15 year old brother, as well as his older brother and parents, and my friends and theirs have it too.
I just want to know how legitimate this is. What this site says. What YOU say. What you WILL say.
I just didn't know it was seriously so common a year ago.

I think every one can learn it with paitence and "hard" work/practice
others are born wich such a thing..
I think that "sensitive/open/belivers" people may have easier then let's say an sceptic..
I think science have said that..but I am not sure..
You don't seem like a newb.
However, i tend to agree with you, i have done some kind of mental abilities. And, so have ppl around me when they are with me. But, i don't see how i can control it, or if it is even controllable.

you make it sound like you're talking about reading people well (on a subconcious level possibly). I get the feeling that if it exists it wouldn't be exclusive to anybody, but some people would have a strength in it, and others wouldn't. I guess you could say it would be like intelligence: even stupid people have it, they're just not as good at harnessing it. As far as your whole college having it, again referring to intelligence, I would expect something of a bell-curve of telepathy skill with a few people with well above average capabilities, most people being ho-hum, and some people being developmentally retarded.

Gee, for someone with telepathy, you sure are clueless as to what people think...
Its recently been discovered that there is a part of the brain which is responsible for precognition. perhaps this is what you and your friends are experiencing. a close bond with others will also tend to offer more insight into what they are thinking. This could explain the apparent phenomena you have experienced.
*Stellar, the above statements i made were of a critical, and yet not insulting nature. This is the type of criticism i expect to see, not your tactless low blows.

Actually, I found Stellars' comment rather funny, and a good point.
If a person claims to have abilities to read people as well as stated, then nothing should be much of a mystery or wonder. Not people anyhow. Once you know how people think, and if you can read lots of peoples' thoughts, it's all pretty simple and easy.
Anyhow, that certainly makes sense that it's only one sect of the brain to do certain things, just like precognition. The scientists say that we only use on average 10%, no? And we know certain parts control different things we do. It'd be both nice AND bad if they could figure how to open certain parts.
Now, can everyone do psychic things? It's SO never going to be answered. Everyone's got their own opinion right? And you could have a room of ten people, and get Nearly as many different ideas/opinions.
For me? While no one has to believe it, I know for a fact that not everyone can send messages, know the future (not that I can, least it's about who's gonna kick it), or have telekinetic abilities (again, not me either). Take my family. My two children are both psions, as well as myself. But my husband? He is like everyone else but ONE person in his family (an aunt), and a complete deadhead. He hasn't a lick of ability within him. Believe me, I wish he did.:/
As for what age has to do with gifts? Quite the opposite actually. For the most part, children still believe in so much. They have much more the chance to tap into talents that adults cannot. Why? Because children do not have it ingrained, that "This isn't the way it is. There's no such thing as psychic gifts." Most of what can be done, is done through talent, and strength of will. If you're an adult who believes it's not possible, you're quite right, it will be.
I come across so many young children who've got that 'sparkle' in their eyes still. That's how it's easier to tell. First I feel a kind of buzz, but it's definitely in their eyes. While most adults are completely blind to it all.
But you know what? I am SOOOOO freaking glad not everyone Can do these things. Can you just imagine every child molestor, serial killer, and terrorist alive having psychic abilities?? NO thank you. And I'm quite sure, if they could use it? IF they had it like some tend to think (as in, Everybody can do it), they would. They'd all be perfect criminals.
Thankfully? That's not the case.
I do believe a lot of this is in the genes. And here's to hoping there will Never come a day every pedofile can become the perfect, unCatchable criminal.
Oh yeah! And in case anyone's thinking I'm all high on myself or think I'm better than others cause of my way of thinking And because I can do some things? You'd be Partially right!
I'm not high on myself. But as I know how pig headed, racist, and little most people are? I DO happen to find myself better than those people. I don't let such little emotions run through me. And I will Always find a non-racist/sexist/whatever-ist, to be a better person than someone who is.

I'm guessing there have been articles posted on this sight with info on this, but I'd like to hear what part of the brain this is and get a link or two.
The pineal gland.
tokoyo, i know i read the article here, precognition was located in a small part near the top of the brain if i remember correctly, i just spent some time looking for it, but it was a few weeks ago that i read it. thought it was on the front page, but cant find it there either...
Anyway i'm sure a google search could find the article, i would look there, but i havent the time at the moment

The pineal gland. Neurologists think it's the "third eye"

Could the flash of wisdom that came over Siddhartha Gautama ‚ the Buddha ‚ have been nothing more than his parietal lobe quieting down? Could the voices that Moses and Mohammed heard on remote mountain tops have been just a bunch of firing neurons ‚ an illusion? Could Jesus's conversations with God have been a mental delusion?
Newberg won't go so far, but other proponents of the new brain science do. Michael Persinger, a professor of neuroscience at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, has been conducting experiments that fit a set of magnets to a helmet-like device. Persinger runs what amounts to a weak electromagnetic signal around the skulls of volunteers.
Four in five people, he said, report a "mystical experience, the feeling that there is a sentient being or entity standing behind or near" them. Some weep, some feel God has touched them, others become frightened and talk of demons and evil spirits.
"That's in the laboratory," said Persinger. "They know they are in the laboratory. Can you imagine what would happen if that happened late at night in a pew or mosque or synagogue?"
His research, said Persinger, showed that "religion is a property of the brain, only the brain and has little to do with what's out there."
Woot!
