Telepathy as a conduit of communication; carrier of information, rather than content/information. Rare but ordinary complex of senses, rather than a "mystical vibration". Involves vision. Includes something other than agreed-upon "senses" and things otherwise considered "non-physical". Not a simplistic emotional vs. "cerebral" connection or application; a complex of physical bodily state, carrying/composed of emotion modulated by consciousness, especially Inner Voice or internal dialog. Sampling of projected (ie. unshielded, unguarded) internal dialog, such as it is in most people, mixed to a great extent with emotional dialog; dumfuk macho on the bus scans the crowd nearly-non-consciously "mumbling" a sub-verbal judgemental dialog, consisting of disgust, anger, annoyance, changing as he looks at each person. (Most people aren't even aware of people around them, for example routinely walking into people in grocery stores etc, annoying.) Involves action on the part of the observer; it is non-passive. People notice my focused attention, even from behind. (Is this true generally?) As a kid (Pond St), vision felt like a directed beam from my eyes. "Pattern of attention" changes shape consciously and otherwise; folded-in approaching others, especially trouble. "Squashed down" avoiding most/all attention of predatory social types. Seems to be repeatable. The intensity of staring into eyes, beyond any social taboo etc: the thrill feeling in the pit of my stomach. Lobe attention to the... thing pictured in someone's head, during sex, usually followed by the someone freaking out... Getting off on other peoples rapid-slope of freedom/enlightenment/change; opening awareness in kids re: sexuality and freedom. Eg. Jonathan's coming-out process. (The terrifying consequences of getting off on others' pain... and the choice of which as a turn-on both conscious and external...) The non-cooincidence of most everything I do being communication-oriented; constantly feeding (not always well...) contact. (Non-olfactory) "odor" of unpleasantness, especially people on a destructo trip, detectable immediately and with near-zero failure rate. This definitely involves physical criteria, ie. observable state of decay and bodily "energy" level. eg. Deke vs. Eagle; both are grubby, but Deke is more crust-core, choosing and consciously enjoying his ratty state; Eagle, simply not enough energy to care or do anything about it. Connection to homosexuality? The frequent immediate knowledge of other gay people, on sight, without question. Failure rate exceedingly low, but un-detected gay people high; ie. some have it, some don't. Ie. is this reciprocity. Sexual nature of it: amongst whatever else, also the single most intensely pleasurable bodily sensation possible. The potential of simultaneous conscious application between two people. Hypoglycemic connection: fatigue-induced hypnogogia as tool. Ability to make my self sick *instantly*.
