Subject: Reading a mind from a distance - a real life saver for me 	simplysuspiria

  	  	

Having had a couple of types of situations in which I have been able
to read someone else's thoughts, I wish to talk about one
instance in which reading a crazed individual's thoughts from a
distance saved my life. Having made the acquaintance of an irrational
individual who would do anything the voices told him to do, I had an
intuition on a particular day that he had flipped and was going to
come to my house to do me harm.  Having a constant mental idea of
where this individual was at all times as well as what his
approximate state of mind was at any given moment (even though I had
not physically seen in him in a long time), I woke up one morning
knowing he was in a desperate state of mind and was going to strike
out at whatever victim he thought he could handle; in this case, me.

Taking my son to my mother's house in order to insure this small
child would be safe, I returned home and made plans for the evening.
About 9:00 p.m., I heard a knocking at my front door.  I asked who it
was.  I received no answer.  The knocks got progressively louder.
Since I had no peephole at that time, I looked out the side window to
see someone climbing onto the back of my car and kicking in the roof
and sides as hard as he could.  This male seemed thinner and shorter
than this 6'2" plus individual I intuited was coming over.  I called
a girlfriend on the phone and she suggested I call 911.  Sensing that
this person was no longer on my car and was about to make his move, I
suddenly heard a loud bang in the back yard as well as a huge noise
of his striking the glass sliding door with his body so as to gain
entry into my house.  Being advised by the police emergency clerk
not leave my house, I did take a peek out the glass sliding door.

I still did not recognize him as being the man I had thought would be
coming to my house to hurt me.  I decided that no matter what, I was
not going to die that day.  When an even louder crash occurred after
this man hurled a heavy concrete table support at the window, I was
shocked to find it was the man I sensed was coming my way.  Not
looking at all human in his wild and unruly appearance, I somehow
found the strength to grab the heavy concrete item and to throw it
back outside the sliding door so as to distract him from me. It only
worked for a moment. Then he started striking out at me. As he began
struggling with me in an attempt to hurt me or worse from what the
police told me, I heard two of my neighbors jump over my fence and
try to grab him from behind.  He was stronger than both of them.  It
took 4 policemen and my neighbors to get him into the back of the police
paddy wagon.

The police told me that in cases like this, the victims
never survive to tell the tell.  I told them I had an intuition that
this man had gone over the edge that day.  They said that my feelings
had probably saved me because I also saw that I was going to survive
any attack.It was just like what I had seen in my mind as I felt this
man inching closing and closer to my house.  I later learned he
walked 15 miles on foot after turning on the water and the gas at the
townhouse he was renting.  Having more than this one encounter with
this particular individual, I credit my being alive to my being able
to know in my mind what he was thinking at crucial times.  It took a
lot of energy to surmount this experience and his later escape from
the state mental hospital and additional attempt to hurt me at my
house a couple of years later.  I remember even knowing that he was
going to attempt suicide on a particular day and the reason why.

The  psychiatrists at the emergency clinic in which he had been Baker
acted that time did not believe that within a few hours he would run
out in front of a car.  I saw it in my mind.  It happened and as I
also sensed, he survived.  It can be a little scary getting inside
the mind of an irrational person, but when it comes to saving one's
own life, it can be prove to be necessary at times.

I will write a separate entry to discuss a couple of the other types
of situations in which reading someone else's mind has made a
difference either in that person's life or in mine.

Moderator's note: Good heavens!  Well, the bright side of such experiences is
the thought that, if we can gain such 'accidental rapport' with someone like
that, perhaps we can gain deliberate rapport with someone worth having!  PJ
