About a month ago was in psychosis and thought i was thought broadcasting and hearing and talking to voices which at the time am always convinced they are real tho always recover and know there not but deep down am unsure.

Anyway when i am i think up stupid shit about and to my neighbours cause i think my street is hearing my thoughts when im in that state. Anyway the last voice i was talking to in my head was a female and was having a proper conversation and she was being very kind and forgiving and told me her first name. I have new neighbours and dont know there names , and a little while ago i got a letter in my mailbox that had been sent to the wrong address with a name ive never heard of on it but a males name..

So heres the hectic part, i type the first name that the voice told me with the last name on the letter into facebook and the name checks out with the profile picture of my new neighbours.....


Like wtf was it telepathy? Is she a psychic? Was i talking to her subconcious mind? Or was it just an absolute mind blowing coincedence that my brain made up the voice and randomly chose that. name?...
 
Also could it be shadow people or spirits that new her name as i have a theory that all voices could be actual spirits trying to fuck with your head
 
I don't know for sure but, I'm diagnosed bipolar1, and when I go manic, not hypomanic but full blown see you in 6 months when you'll be wondering what the hell you did and why manic, 9/10 I end up experiencing what my doctor refers to as grandiose beliefs and psychosis, which when in that state I believe I'm psychic, and when I'm stable like now, I think am I? I put it down to my mind playing tricks to comfort me, as I've seen my deceased nana and conversed with her loads, I've seen and played with family pets that have passed over, I've also seen rats that freaked me a little. However, the one that really made me wonder if I do actually have psychic abilities was a meeting with a woman, elderly but not frail looking, she didn't say much, but she had a calming sense about her - and she had one of my living nanas passed over dogs with her. Anyway, this meeting has stuck with me clear as day despite coming in and out of mania, depression and stability frequently over the years. I asked my nan if she thought my experiences were cos I were crazy or my mind trying to comfort me or if I might actually be a little psychic. She asked me to tell her what I'd experienced, and when I got to the elderly lady with one of her own dogs, she asked me to describe her, which I did. My nan went quiet, then brought a small picture out of her purse and told me to take a look - I did and couldn't spk, it was the same woman I'd met - she was my nanas mum. My Nana believes that souls that have passed over, and care for me and understand I neede help, came through to try and help me, she believes the rats were my crazy lol.
I don't know 100% - maybe I've seen a photo yrs ago and don't remember but my subconcious did and brought it out when I were out of control to mess with me more.
Or maybe, when the mind is in a state of mania, psychosis, whatever, just some extreme state, beyond our control, it somehow becomes more open to enable us to hear and/or see souls from the other side that wish to communicate, and in their usual state, the barriers are generally down, blocking any communication attempts?
Of course, these are just my theories, and I'm an uneducated manic depressive, so I wouldn't blame you for laughing at them.
There's no way of knowing for sure, it could just of been coincidence - but I think, there is a possibility that the voice you heard was real.
 
Dude, a lot of people might just think your crazy but I've had a lot of experiences very similar. If your story is true, can you think of the chance of that just being coincidence? Like out of all the names you could type, you just happen to choose your neighbors. Personally, I believe that all of life is connected by a universal subconscious, but for survival purposes are ego limits information to what is relevant to survival. An insight from Aldous Huxley, in The Doors of Perception. The brain is filled with way more information that we aren't aware of, but through states that our society deem as "manic, psychotic,etc." or by other means, we can connect with this information. Who's to say someone is dead if their personality lives on in someone else's subconscious. I mean sure they're physically dead, but what if their personality can move to another person's subconscious. Really, all we are is a collection of our experiences that molds us into are personality. Also, who knows the limit of the human mind? We are all electrical signals, who's to say by some odd means of mutation, that our minds can't pick up other people's energy/ aura's and therefor thoughts. Of course, by our means currently, all of these thoughts a speculative but still fascinating to some.

I think that's a possibility but most likely just a representation of your subconscious mind. Does make me wonder though. Not convinced that ghosts don't exist, but I'm not entirely sure they don't either.
 
Im sure a lot of people who used hallucinogens can relate. There were times where tripping on LSD my friend and i would be completing eachothers sentences and seem to be reading eachothers minds. Some say that time doesnt really exist, that reality is a series of snapshots. If this is true, seeing dead relatives, other people, etc would be similar to flipping through a photo album, or like the cache function on google to view "old" or "no longer available" websites. In physics there is the "law of conservation of energy" and life is derived from electrical and chemical energy. Therefore upon death that energy changes form and is released back into the "universe". Like pouring bottled water into the ocean, contained water being returned back to its collective whole.
 
The universe is a strange old place, even science has proven that, just take a delve into quantum mechanics to see how feeble our day to day view of reality really is.

I to have suffered in the past from derealissation and obsessive behaviour about the nature of reality or the lack of it.

The danger is to spend to much time worrying about such things, they are questions that you are very unlikely to find answers to, and does it really matter ?

I am much happier now I just accept the weirdity of consciousness, I just ignore the fleeting things I see and hear and just accept the strange synchroncities that occur from time to time.

My best advice is not to dwell on such things, celebrate the oddity and unknown of being alive and live your life, try not to obsess about things you'll only end up missing out on the really exciting bits :)

Best Wishes
 
I used to think that the voices i heard weren't real. I'd try to ignore the whisperings and things i heard. Turns out, they were real!

In certain parts of my house, i can hear what is going on in my neighbors houses. The master bathroom is the worst because i can hear voices and a radio playing in the house across the street coming up from the drain pipe.

It is extremely possible that you have heard your neighbors voices and you'd already heard the female neighbors name because voices are coming in through your walls, pipes, or the sound waves can be bouncing off the inside of your roof and coming in through the ceiling.
 
I wouldn't doubt it if I was telepathic to a certain extent. I can make things happen, that I want to happen. For instance, gambling. When I would play dice (3's, craps) with my friends, I could focus so intently on winning, that I would win. If I cleared my mind, I could focus hard enough to make the person I was going against roll a certain number, and I would call out all predicted numbers of the dice right before the settled, out loud, and I would be right, and everyone around would have heard my prediction out loud. Everyone I played with said I was actually good at dice, a game of chance, that I had a skill to it. It got to a point to where I always came up, and people didn't want to play against me anymore.
 
Telepathy doesn't exist. It has been studied for decades and is always proven false. Don't delude yourselves and don't feed into someone else's delusions who is obviously mentally ill. Tell these things to a psychologist and see what he suggests.
 
Has it been proven not to exist or is there no proof that it does? Just because there is no proof (now) that it does exist does not mean it does not exist

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I agree with Ego on this one, who I believe meant "proven not to exist."
 
i have a feeling that the OP met their new neighbor while deeply in psychosis and didn't register that as real

2Fried, is this a possibility? I know that things that happen to us during a psychiatric crisis can be difficult to recall at a later date; that has certainly happened to me.
 
Im in no way offended. They say that we communicate a lot through non verbal cues so its possible while tripping it enabled me to pick up on it. Also while tripping i tend to talk in loops so its possible my friend and i had the same conversation multiple times and did not recall.

I don't think that you can discredit this guy's experience. What makes you an authority on the matter? You speak of these studies that has "always proven false," lets see them. I think it would be incredibly hard to prove that telepathy doesn't exist. In order to do so, scientists would have to disprove a substantial amount of instances where the evidence would indicate that telepathy does exist. I have had plenty of experiences very similar without hearing voices. For example, I am very good at thinking about people right before they call, or come to visit me unexpectedly. I think everyone has experienced something similar. You know, there have been a few studies that show marijuana causes physical damage to the brain, or has zero medical value, but as time went on we found out that those studies were incorrect. There have also been studies that suggest LSD causes physical mutation, or that it gets stored in the spine for the rest of your life. Were those accurate. Don't be so closed minded. I find it offensive that you automatically judge this guy, and automatically dismiss his claims when he's the one having the experience... not you. I would say that telepathy has neither been proven or disproven, it is an open possibility.

I have to agree with Beat It, I would never discredit someone's experiences, science is far from an exact....science as it is, ask a scientist to measure the position of a particle, you know the things that make up the entire universe...you'll find that its not possible it's like to trying to grab hold of a wet bar of soap.

The universe, us, consciousness, time, space are full of the most wonderful mysteries and that is why I don't dwell on strange happenings, coincidences etc. maybe there is a place where we will be able to understand more deeply what its all about, maybe not.

My point is live your life in the here and now, don't waste time obsessing over things you will never know the answer to, they are just a distraction from the wonder of just being.
 
^^^ Agreed, that's a great way to put it. If you spend too much time looking for answers that you won't find, it can be maddening. However, you gotta have a sense of mystery as well, just don't want to overindulge in anything I guess... Either way, it's good to keep an open mind.
