I had the psych evaluation done after( and as a result of)  that encounter because i wanted to make sure  I wasn't mentally ill.

It gave me more than just a clean bill of health.

Indeed i was about 21 and in top physical and mental condition  That was summer of 72/73 

Hi Walker

Thanks for clearing that up so then in both instances you had concerns about your health before getting tested and were fortunate to have been given a clean bill of health.

What was it exactly that you were concerned with in the first incident as I am not certain that I understand completely if you felt that you were hale and hardy at the time? I don't wish to make you uncomfortable but could you clarify what specific concerns you had prior to getting tested and did you get a complete physical with full blood work before considering mental health testing?

The test using scans was after  watching phenomenon with john Travota That would have been about 1997 Then i had more advanced scans because i was getting bad headaches in the early 2000s Turned out it was some damage to my neck,where a student accidentally hit me as i stopped two of them from beating each other up by stepping between them,   causing pressure on nerves .

It took a few years, but eventually the headaches disappeared.  I had to keep my neck warm for a long while, as the cold caused severe headaches.

Okay great  and understood thanks.

Because of Australia's  health system i get a full medical check up every 2 years. I also have all the extra tests for cancers etc which are provided  for free  To me its better to prevent problems than have to deal with them after they become serious.

I guess we are different in that aspect I was raised on the suck it up system so seldom go/went to doctors unless I need something stitched back up or on or need a cast although we had many free services like vasectomies but never saw a practical need for one same goes with mental health.

Sorry i don't follow your points. I think  that is because you are making assumptions and starting from  those assumptions 

eg what "guess" are you speaking of 

There was no guess.

Just 4 words, all of which helped locate the chin but also refered to the locationof the cross eve thoughthe y wwere in difenrt buildings mies aprt. 

I dont know how your mind works.

I only hear words and dont see in images 

i cant think of any other way to explain it than this. When i closed my mind and focused on finding the  chain i "got" four words directly into my mind  Same  as the saying I get it " 

sometimes i wonder why i bother explaining  things to you. Your mind is so closed you neither take any of it in, nor accept any of it as told 

Or are you seriously telling me you don't often just "get" knowldge understanding answers etc pop into your mind 

 I guess there are people like that, but most of us often suddenly "get " an answer understanding  or knowledge come into our head  Indeed its a phrase often used ineduction 

"eg Sammy suddenly got it today.  It just clicked for him/her "

Um no I am not that devious Only someone like yourself would think of such a stratagem   

and i think maybe the whale thing didn't blow up until AFTER I posted the post about finding the chain.  Coukdnt swear to that and i dont care. . 

You might be interested that yesterday another local  librarian asked me if I could find a school key she had lost 

I told her it was in an envelope  in  a drawer with some note paper  with pictures of roses on it, and possibly scented. 

She hasnt had time to look yet but she said that makes sense.

She put the key away somewhere before going on a trip to Adelaide because she didnt want to lose it while travelling,  and when she returned couldn't remember where she put it.

However the envelope rang a bell with her. She the told me that the key was by itself, not on a ring,and it was quite likely she had put it in a n envelope in a drawer. She intends to look when she has time but it is not too urgent as the school provided her with another key, when she finally  owned up to misplacing the original  I knew this would happen. Next i will have half  a dozen more people asking for help   

You offered that if pushed you would prove this claim.

All you have to do is take a pic of the Facebook thread and then black out names. A library is a public site anyway, I can appreciate you want to remain anonymous and I support this, but there are ways to do this that protect your privacy.

I judge you by the evidence you have provided.  Of course you do this for excitement, that you created this post speaks for itself.

Why is there a difference in those percentages, are you finding things that are out of reach and unrecoverable?

I don't believe you that you locate lost objects around 95% of the time, you've proven you are biased in your data gathering.  I don't know why it is so difficult for you to not recognize when you are just providing more claims with no evidence.

Yet despite that you admit that all of your locating powers might be coincidence, you nonetheless estimate that there is a higher percentage for mind reading than you just finding these things by coincidence.  So now you admit that you can't actually calculate the probability for such a thing.  Thus, you don't have much basis for thinking that this is actually psychic mind reading.

As your bias and lack of memory simply prevent you from being able to judge your experiences accurately, or even get the facts straight sometimes (a la your whale story, having had a vertical leap equal to the top athletes, etc).

NO again you judge by your own concepts I post to educate inform and explain  To me this is serious stuff which people need to know about even if the y dont believe it.  I might get  excited by such an event.

I dont POST to or from excitement. 

I cant help what you believe, but it explains your reactions to my posts.

I havent  proven any such thing That is your assumption However I am not giving mathematical certifies only approximations Ps not sure of your background but i am qualified to use statistics, having passed the compulsory courses on it a t university as a part of studies in humanities. 

Yep there is a possibility tha t all those events might be coincidence. HOWEVER given the nature and success rate of these events,  that probability (f t could be assessed realistically) would be lower than the probability of mind reading. You see it might just be possible to do this once and get it right but with each individaul success the probaility of coincidence decreases and the probability of some mechanistic cause (such as mind reading) increases.

Mind reading is not impossible (whatever you might believe ) and thus must be included along with coincidence when trying to  work out how such things happen 

you discount mind reading as a possible cause, leaving something like coincidence as the only possible answer, in your mind  

I appreciate i answered this before, but it was in a hurry, and this explains my pov a little more.

I feel no need to actually prove it, Indeed such proofs would be falsifiable to a skeptic ( I might just have got the librarian to  make up the story) 

However if i got annoyed enough a t people calling me a liar i know i could ASK for verification from  witnesses   I think at least some would be happy to confirm the event online   Thats all i need to be happy.

jmccr8

lol well one is visited by a huge column of light, which speaks to you ,and removes a long standing nicotine addiction in an instant, a sensible person's first move would be to have a full check up 

I have learned over my life, especially as an educator and counsellor, that ( and not meaning to disrespect your choices) most males have a similar attitude to your own, and for many it kills them either quickly or slowly  This applies in areas of both physical and mental health, with males far more likely to commit suicide .  

Given that it is basically free at the time of consult or admittance,, it seemed silly to me not  to avail myself of our medical system, especially when as a tax payer, i contributed a levy towards its maintenance (about 2% of my taxable income, which meant i was paying 1000 dollars and upwards each year to support medicare, )  taken out of my salary as a compulsory levy on most  taxpayers.

  I look at it like regular car servicing, to detect and prevent any problems before the y become serious, and medicare as an insurance policy for big bills

If i waited for detectable problems it would have been decades between doctors visits as I had very few health concerns  before i was in my fifties. Indeed I went  over 30 years between my first and second admittance to hospital

Did someone see the usb on the ocean floor, did you scuba or snorkel and spot it?  How did you know the gold nugget was in a rucksack?

So like Santa then.

You're just equivocating on 'it'.  "It" is not true, because you've provided two different contradictory stories.  Furthermore I see no indication that were it not for the participation of ChrLzs and your own documented forgetfulness on this topic that you wouldn't be insisting on how humans can remember things perfectly and we couldn't survive if we misremembered or misinterpreted things, etc.  So in one of the rare cases where you tell a tale that doesn't depend 100% on your memory to be challenged or "supported", we quickly find a problem with it indicating that what you remember doesn't match what occurred, nor does it match what you've said previously. That's evidence, and is the explanation why disbelieving your stories is not out of bias.

I guess to you it might be important that the two stories differed because you only have the stories to go by. 

To me it is not The it here is the event

A whale was caught in a tuna holding pen in the bay. It was released  without loss of tuna ( probably because there were no tuna in the net a t he time) I know this and so the details dont affect the actuality of the event for me, only my recall of it  

lol Ive never maintained  human memory is perfect nor tha t i remember things perfectly 

I have explained that expert opinion is that everything  we store in our mind is  potentially recoverable.

I have explained that i developed an eidetic memory at university  but that  i no longer had tha t skill as it requires considerable ongoing practice to maintain      I have said that our memories and other cognitive skills can be greatly  enhanced (almost to unbelievable degrees) by time training and discipline.

I have said tha t humans are evolved to see and perceive their environment both extremely rapidly and with great accuracy  

If oyu choose to disbelieve the basis of a story told twice, with a decade between the tellings  just because the two stories have a difference, that is your prerogative However i would maintain you do so because of bias.

Another person might simply accept that the two different endings were  an error in an otherwise true story.   As i said, if I had been lying i would have made sure i went back and got the story perfect  "Charles"might still have disagreed that it ever happened ,but it would have made my narrative more acceptable  to some.

  It doesn't matter really. I know what's true None of you have the ability to know what is true over this time and distance  from the event   and so i wont lose any sleep over it.

Ps as to your first two questions When i said where the usb was, the teacher remembered that while casting his rod  an object had flown out and over the side. He also recalled tha the usb had been in his shirt pocket Then it clicked that what he saw was the usb flying out of his pocket and into the sea.  Of course i knew nothing of this or even that he had been fishing i just knew where the usb was 

Second was a bit the same When i described the location of the nugget the young woman  explained that she had thoguth it might have been in ithis rucksack, (and i had no idea she owned such a bag or had left it in darwin  ) She then concluded tha t, indeed it had been in the bag but her ex flat mates had lied to her after she rang them and asked them to check the rucksack. It is likely the y took the nugget, worth a considerable sum, and said it wasn't there.

I am indeed biased against the introduction of errors and things that are false, and you stated something that was plainly false.  Why you'd then go on about eidetic memory you think you used to have in response to misremembering something is of course weird and almost self-refuting.  After being shown this error, your response is to argue that everything else about the story is true still, instead of even entertaining the idea that maybe other parts of the story you remember are also not actually true.  But yes, please do go on about 'bias'.

The statement is not contradictory,

Basic principles of statistics can be demonstrated even where specific probabilities  cannot be  assessed.

Thus  the likelihood of a consistent  success rate being coincidence,  given the nature of the cases, is not statistically measurable, but known to be basically highly improbable. Indeed so highly  improbable as to be almost impossible.   You clearly don't really understand the uses and limitations of statistics.

You have explained your disbelief in such things. Given that  disbelief you will have discounted mind reading as a possibility, and thus not one of the probabilities (correct me if I have got that wrong) 

yep,  some of those other things are possible. However the y don't fit the nature of the experiences, and there is no evidence for them in my examples.  The simplest most likely answer is mind reading (unless you do not accept that this is possible)  Of course i do not know and it might be something else.

However it is NOT knowing enough about the person or their circumstances to make an educated guess.  i t just doesn't work like that  eg tha t would require time and logical analysis. You assume i donot think about and analyse and reflect on each of these cases carefully. I do. I find them interesting and fascinating.

Some things can be discounted with a little logic and analysis. Others take more time and thought to analyse.  Eventually you can find one or two "best fits"  which explain what happened 

The answer just comes to me immediately i am asked, or it does not come at  all.

I don’t think basic respect is extended to you. 
 

If he can’t understand you I say keep scrolling. 
 

Telling falsehoods can be fixed, providing evidence for claims can be easily accomplished, but demanding that a person only speak if their English  is perfect is spreading intolerance for diversity.

~You horrible little racist man !  And to think sherapy endorsed that. I think I know where the rubbish is here.

~ Not as "incoherently absurd" as some of your efforts, off you go, and use that translator, that's what is there for !

I am indeed biased against the introduction of errors and things that are false, and you stated something that was plainly false.  Why you'd then go on about eidetic memory you think you used to have in response to misremembering something is of course weird and almost self-refuting.  After being shown this error, your response is to argue that everything else about the story is true still, instead of even entertaining the idea that maybe other parts of the story you remember are also not actually true.  But yes, please do go on about 'bias'.

Gee, ya really got us there.... if only there was someone from Australia who was an expert and worked extensively in the fish farming industry who would know whether this was true or not and was also a member and contributor on these boards.  Ah well, another defeat at the hands of Walker I guess... 

Totally off topic, but dontcha just love Snoopy?

And you have proof or evidence That he is who he says or has any knowledge or  experience with  that of which he speaks?

Normally i wouldn't question another posters veracity, but he made a couple of simple errors describing both his position and  the name of the centre where he worked Tha t could be legitimate  However to claim this event didn't happen, when it did, makes me suspicious of his intent and even his claims 

I like snoopy and he was once one of my favourites but for the last few decades ive been more into Calvin and Hobbes, which reflects my own attitude to life 

eidetic memory does not mean you can accurately remember things over a long period of time it means you have  " photographic" short term memory   Sorry f it sounds contradictory but that is how it is.  i no longer have eidetic  memory, as it is a learned skill requiring continual practice and application However it wouldn't have helped in this instance anyway 

Ps again, . my wife and others in the community recall (without prompting or explanation)  seeing this event on the news.  Otherwise, indeed, given the lack of online evidences, i might begin to doubt it  happened, myself.
