During Tsunami Remote Viewing Primitive Tribes In Andaman Nicbar Islands Of India

I have a cat that senses earthquakes generally 3 days before they occur.

Humor me, will you?

Can you write a little descriptive paragraph about how the cat would act?

I'm not doubting you; I have worked for vets who say this very same thing; my animals sure sense coming thunderstorms. I'd just like to know what the cat does in that situation.

Did you see this?

He won't get my wallet. I predict that I will continue to squeeze pennies so hard they will scream for mercy.

[Howlin]

That's an interesting one.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Very interesting. I'm glad Shermy found the article.

Hey there...

Yah... not too sure about the "days" part, nor the remote-viewing part. But its also possible that there were tribes of folks that saw the water suddenly recede, and new well enough to head for high ground. Perhaps the "minutes" of warning somehow got transmogrified into "days".

One of the more interesting books I've read was "The Last Navigator" about an American guy that goes to Polynesia to try to study under one of the last surviving tribal navigators. These guys are revered like Shaman in the tribes and they keep their secrets pretty close.

These are the guys that can sail outrigger canoes between islands many hundreds or thousands of miles apart... and they actually pull it off and get where they want to go, with no tools, no charts, nothing but wits.

Turns out that there really is a lot of pretty good ordinary science that these navigators use. They don't have books, but they memorize the rising and setting positions of stars on the horizon throughout the year. They memorize the variations in fish species and bird species in various locales. They learn how to read wave patterns to tell them the weather in distant parts.

It doesn't have to be magic or any sort of "special" communion with nature. There's lots of smart people in the world, and some of them are leaders of tribes in very remote parts of the world. Some of them are Shaman. Some of them are navigators.

Just becuase the dude doing it isn't wearing a white jacket doesn't mean that it isn't just plain old good science developed over many generations.

Thanks. I am, too.

The animals, no; the people, yes.

Duke did a study on telepathy/ESP during WW II,using servicemen and their wives/family members.

Now I know that some people view this as evil or even as nonsense,but humans only use a small part of their brains and like the appendix (whose function is no longer needed),it is very plausible that through disuse,some people's brains can no longer function this way,but others' can.

[Howlin]

My god. As if this disaster wasn't enough...

[Fifth Business]

...they don't even know how to make a hot dog, so how smart can they be, really?

You mean they put ketchup on it? What savages!

[nopardons]

Nope.

[Howlin]

Well, I should have known you'd know; what is it?

This is an Urban Legend.

Sorry, I haven't figured out how to post anything more basic than a cut and paste! The article called it teleportation.

Remote Viewing (as best I can sketch it to you) is the ability to "see" something occurring at a place that you are not physically located. It was famously used in the hunt for Kidnapped General Dozier and also for "looking" at the Soviet Typhoon submarine while it was still in it's hangar.

The most famous one I am familiar with is Joe McMoneagle and most everything I have read said he was the top Remote Viewer for the US Government.

I agree with a previous post that the original article was not actually about remote viewing but more about animal capabilities.

"Did you get any snow on Christmas Day?"

Yup, I did but, it didn't stick. I did manage to scrape enough off the windshield to make a 'snowball' and throw it at my son who was visiting from SOCAL.

[bonfire]

Well, I, for one want to know what this "periscope" looks like!

Here's the link to the site of the retired US Geological Service expert who incorporates unusual pet activity with his quake predictions. This is NOT the only data he uses, just one factor. He accurately and publicly predicted the World Series quake - and was told by the USGS not to publicly "predict" quakes anymore. He's more accurate than the current active USGS people. Since he's retired now, he can do what the hell he wants and speak his mind.

Gee whiz, most folks just feel weather changes by how much their rheumatism is acting up! This definitely bumps it up a notch.
