I can "feel" objects

[Peaceful_Philosopher]

I don't know if this is something like the smell of farts in a public places, which everyone notices and can smell, but nobody EVER mentions it... So here it is:

I'm capable of looking at objects, and sort of "feeling" their shapes and their insides and the material they are made of. If I want to, I can also, for a second or two, taste and smell them. I think that this might be nothing more than just my imagination (the smell, taste, and the insides), BUT then again, after reading all this stuff here on these forums, I don't know if it's just my imagination or not. btw, if I don't look at objects, I can't feel them accurately... For example: If I know that there is a towel behind me, but I don't that it's folded, I can't feel if it's folded or not... Also I can do the same with anything I visualize or imagine.

The reason I related this to farts in public places, is because, maybe, almost everyone can do this, but nobody feels that it's important enough to talk about it....
Please reply, thanks.
Peace.

This sounds like tactile visualization to me. Or do you mean something else?

[Hibby]

hmmm sounds like tactile visualisation to me as well, you're creating the image as well as the feeling.

Wow, I'm not familiar with that "tactile" visualization phrase. I don't know if that's it, but can someone explain what it means please?

Tactile imaging is described at this link:

i'd be interested to hear you describe one of your experiences in greater detail.

It's also in the AD pedia with the 'visualization' part included:

When i go O.B.E i can feel everything around me very solidly something more than others e.g i might not notice the sheets on the bed,but anything wooden feels about 95% as solid as in the phisycal this is one of the most rewarding things to me at the moment as it confirms to me that what i am experiencing is real.Some people might say well how do you know it was an O.B.E and not just a dream? well if you truely had one you will know for sure.It sounds like a similar thing moving your awareness outward, its a great experience you are lucky

I don't know exactly what you mean by "experiences", because I don't actually experience tactile imiging, I make it happen, so I basicly do it. Well, I guess I experience it because its another thing that happens to me, but I'm the one that makes it happen.

Sometimes when I'm bored while riding in a car, I look out the window and see the grain fields passing by, and the grass on the side of the road, and sometimes houses, and what I do, is I somehow reach out with an imaginary arm. I focus on that imaginary arm like it was my real physical arm, but I can make it any size, and any length, and I feel it a kind of like I would my physical arm. (I hope everyone understand my writing. I have a hard to explaining myself usually...) Then, with my imaginary hand I feel the grain fields, or grass, and houses. The cool thing about feeling the surfaces with houses with my imagined hand, is that I make my hand huge, and the houses feel like they are little miniature houses.

I would say that this is all imagined, and me feeling, smelling, hearing, objects without touching them or sometimes even looking at them, is nothing but using my past experiences of sensations of my environment, and using those sensations again to make what I want to feel, smell, hear, or touch, more realistic.

I would like to know if I could use this ability for something other than what I've described so far. I thought, maybe it could help with telekinesis somehow. Any thoughts on that?
Peace.

I think this would be handy with OBE- you can use it to loosen up and expand your energy body before an exit attempt.
As to psi, I don't know how this would be helpful unless you learn to use it in dreamstate lessons. Maybe you can ask for instructions or insight that way.

I think I know what you're talking about. I'll do that while driving to work, I imagine I have this big hand and I feel things on the road, and I'm surprised how easy it is. I've never tried it on something I'm not looking at, I doubt I'd be good at it
