xian is short for Christian. you should be no more offended than by people using xmas for christmas.
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I know that, I was being smart, and being dry about it. That's just my way, sometimes. Sometimes I'm right out there with humor, and sometimes I'll make you wonder about me. I am a woman, and that is my prerogative.
BTW, I am offended when I see "xmas." But that's OT.
Random, that was meant jokingly possibly, but that actually brings up an interesting point. People who are very familiar with each other do have a higher chance of being able to actually pick up on one's another thoughts, dependent on natural ability of each person and how much they exercise it, whether knowingly or not.
Although, most of what we call "picking up," is really just the subconscious awareness of someone else's patterns of behavior, learned through observation and predicted based on that input. That being said, there are times when it's more than the little computer of the mind analyzing observed behavior in the other person and spitting out the most probable reaction. There are times that it really is telepathy.
I also wanted to say that I do believe that psychic powers are clearly the way that we communicate with God. Someone said that, and I agree. One-time shots of especially clear telepathy are used as a means of communicating especially important things by God, I believe; and that is regardless of the person's natural ability level and whether they have even been aware of the existence of it or not. The opening is always there, it is just one of the ways that God uses to communicate to people individually when He sees a usefulness for it. And many, many times it is used of God to talk to people and they are not even aware of it.
Those that seek relationship with Him are often aware of it, though, we call it hearing His voice.
And, Venom, I promise to be a good girl from now on and not post again until I've watched your video. Girl Scouts' honor.

Now we must all wonder if I was ever a Girl Scout.
