As I was walking to work one night my spirit(?) warned me of possible trouble down the road. A reason to be wary. I felt the approximate distance was about five blocks. Sure enough, when I got to that point there was a group of about six guys who were on the other side of the street. They were drinking and yelled over and talked some smack to me but I cautiously ignored them and continued on.
Another time at work (7-11) an older gentleman I did not recognize came in. As he paused in the doorway a moment a word came to my mind, Winston. Odd, I thought. Could that be his name or perhaps his brand of cigarettes? Sure enough, he came up to the register and bought a pack of Winston smokes. I have not seen him again since.
More times than I can count, I have thought of a specific individual, only to see that person five to ten minutes later, but this I think happens to most people. It has certainly happened to me all throughout my life. There have also been times when I was certain that Matt would call or stop by before he did. The above are examples of precognition.
As for telepathy or mind linking, there are two prime examples. The first one happened months ago. I was at work, my usual graveyard shift at 7-11 and was talking with Mark, a truck driver and a pleasant fellow who came in occasionally to chat. A car pulled up and a short, pleasant seeming woman got out. As she approached the door to open it our eyes met and we smiled at each other. I felt very warm toward her. I believe the feeling was mutual. As she walked in I quickly said hi and she said hi back. Again, very warmly. I was about to ask her how she was doing, but after posing the thought in my mind only, I opted not to speak and interrupt Mark who was talking. I turned back to him. Unexpectedly the woman said to me, �Oh I�m fine thanks, and how are you?� I hesitated a moment then said, �Fine thanks, but why do you ask?� She then said, �Well you asked me how I was didn�t you?� I looked at Mark who had stopped talking and was listening now and my mind being puzzled, I asked him if I had spoke. Mark said that the only thing I said was Hi. �Oh, I could have sworn that you did ask.� said the woman. And that was pretty much it.
My other example is more of an empathic link situation. Matt and I were visiting San Francisco walking down Market street when I had this strange feeling that we were walking home to an apartment instead of back to the truck to go back to Tracy. A strange surreal feeling. Matt commented right after I had this feeling that he felt as though we lived there and were going home to our apartment. It was sort of a deja-vu experience, like I had belonged there and it was a common routine that we had done many times before. Other more common examples would be those of having my hand on the particular scratch off ticket (out of 16 different ones) that a customer is going to buy before hand or a certain brand of cigarettes or just knowing what they need before they tell me.
Now, as far as the telekinesis is concerned. Of this I am not entirely certain. It was only last month that Kristen, Robert and I were having lunch at the Happy Dragon Chinese restaurant. Kristen put her straw wrapper on the table after removing the straw. It was loosely scrunched up. As she was talking I was sort of feeling �detached� as I often do, and a little bored. I looked at the wrapper and without any conviction, pre-formed thought or expectation I told it to move. I don�t even know why the thought occurred to me, it simply did. It was sort of a combination of a command and a request. None of it in words. The wrapper was bent in a rough U shape, more like a rainbow and lying flat on the table. Immediately after my stray thought the wrapper jumped up on it�s two ends and stayed that way for a moment before falling back flat. I did a double take and was quite surprised and lost the thought and that was when the paper had fallen back flat. My first thoughts were that it was coincidence, which is my common response.
I was puzzled though and started blowing on it to see if maybe it was just a draft that caused it but it only skittered across the table. It had moved in such a peculiar way that I still must wonder. Of course all the while Kristen was talking and until our meal came I was trying to will it to move, but all to no avail. It seems to be more subtle than that, if indeed it was telekinetic motion. A sort of nonchalance I guess.
So anyway, all of these things just seemed like they always did to me. Fairly normal events to be puzzled by and probably coincidental or having a rational explanation. It wasn�t until earlier today that I began to really feel differently. I was staying late at work and it was nearing 8am. I was talking to my boss Nick and his buddy who owned the pizza shop/bar close by. When in the back of my mind on the borders of consciousness a word formed. I even heard it in my head. It was wispy and subtle and the exact word was hazy, but it was to the effect of Icarus or Icarian. It�s no word I have ever heard, that�s for sure. A few minutes later my neighbor Alonzo came into the store. I was still talking with the guys but paused to say hi to him. I read his shirt and there was the very word I had just heard and felt in my mind, Icarian! I went into an instant bewilderment state. I was taken aback. This could not be mere coincidence.
I now find myself puzzled at what is evolving within me. It just seems to keep growing. The temporal displacement I spoke of in my last entry seems common now and it still seems that �all is as it should be�. And sometimes when I sleep, it seems that I am visiting another place that is as real in some respects as this world. There are many places in my dreams that I have visited all my life which seem just as real as any place I know in this world. I am looking forward to what the future holds and ask only that God guide me through it.
