You Scored as Traveler

You are a Traveler Empath, you come from a time & place far removed from here. You are an innocent, in search of your own kin and have a difficult time understanding this world. You are lost & only want to find your way back home. You bring unique gifts to this world and share them with a loving heart. Although very misunderstood, you are also very forgiving. (from the "Book of Storms" by Jad Alexander at groups.yahoo.com...)

not so sure about the paranormal part, id lean towards thinking that perhaps this "empath" just has a greater ability to read body language...

half right, there's a deeper reading feeling that comes, a sort of looking through them feeling.

especially with eye contact, i can't look people in the eyes otherwise they slow down/ or stop talking.

when i see a dead body, i can see they're not in there anymore, most people unfortunately that i tell this to can't understand what i mean and wonder why I'm not sad.

...ok... so... shorten that down. i can honestly say i feel the mood of the passage, i just don't get what it's saying exactly. it sounds more like the world's view on empaths, or at least that's what i'm seeing.

wow... thanks. sorry, i'm just surprised someone actually finally checked on that test and said something about it. so you scored traveler, huh? btw the test is not at all accurate. i've taken it many different times and had 3 or 4 different answers. anyway, thanks for actually taking that test. i'll be talking to you more, i feel.

Im an unbounded empath yay! dont believe being able to read folks and situations is super natural in the slightest.Alot goes on that you dont have a clue about sub consciously.Its good for social primates like ourself...other primates have it on some level aswell.Anyway good luck.....

In my opinion, an empath would be able to sense the emotion and feelings of a person without looking at them, reading their body language, responding in an exchange of instinctual emotional contagion.
An empath would be able to read and sense the problem, recognize the needed healing, and provide it without thinking, without analyzing it. Whether it be physical, mental or spiritual. To know what is needed would be perceptive ability.

Perception
sensing
automatic or instinctual
telepathic
psychic

I got the 'Judge' rank on the test.

You are a Judge Empath, one who is a "truthsayer". You can tell truth from lies, good from evil. You do not tolerate wrong doing. You are a defender of the good and the innocent. You are kind and merciful but do not play foolish games. (from "The Book of Storms" by Jad Alexander at groups.yahoo.com...)

And "potential empath" on the other test.

i agree it's not accurate, my precog should actually 90% or higher and i very much understand this world, but i do agree on it classifying me as a traveler though.

That same test has been chatted about on here before somewhere... but that was a while ago.

Anyway, my visit here is not to expose one of my threads but rather the topic in it. There are already a few posters in this thread that have visited my thread and checked it out....

Now, the thing with my thread was basically to find out and discover exactly how, what or why I am able to do what I can. It lead to another thread being started to actually discuss the matter, but it was not as popular as the main thread itself for obvious reasons.

So, if you've got time, read through the main thread (follow the links provided in it, in order to get the fuller picture of what was going on)

The question remains, is it an empathic ability. I dont need to look at someone... I can get it just from reading chat messages or emails or, as in this case, avatars.

Avatar Symbolisms

There were several questions asked so I tried to cover them best i could as shown in this post and this is the thread where i had opened it up for discussion and tried to get some real sort of investighation on the go... but, alas, we all know how cruel the ATS threads can be swamped by the never ending wave of threads and posts that get posted hehehehehehe.

All good stuff... interesting thoughts and opinions here. Keep it up

I will vouch for you Extra A. My friend. You do have gifts of perception.

I was looking for some related material and found a site. They had a sensitivity test I took and falied at or said I was dormant. I suppose anyone could fudge these test by just lying also.

www.psychic-experiences.com...

I suggest someone might also be used in such a way as a temporary medium, tool or puppet by some entity or unknown individuals. My personal experience was in this category, but with some extreme experiences that were always repressed and typically resulted in missing time and unexplained objects.

Some of which were apparently healing of cancers, and regenerations etc. I don't really believe these were my doing either. This to me possibly fulfilled a biblical prophecy or claim of what they called the hosts and the great hosts.

Many of which could be false miracles and false proof of psychic abilities. One example could be done through hypnosis.

I have felt used before. Like a pawn, and as if it were against my will, but looking back at them, they also held some lessons. So if I learned from it, I can hardly call it being used can I?

Interesting subject for what I can tell reading over the last three pages it seems that many has posted on the subject with understanding.

I have my own experiences but I still have to learn what the whole meaning of empathic abilities and what entitles.

One thing is to read others personal experiences and then apply them to my own.

All I know is that when you use your own energies in a negative way it brings your own bodies down and can even make you sick.

Since childhood I been able to feel other peoples pain and feelings not very good when it comes to pain.

And as for one poster that talks about feeling very strong when other are happy is people out there that feeds on the positive energies of others.

Well I will keep reading as you people with more knowledge than me post so I can learn more on the subject.

BTW is nothing evil about this at all we all have abilities is just that some have them more advance than others.

reply to post by seagrass


well no, you can still call it being used, but who said being used was ever a bad thing? the way i see it, God can use anybody for good.

alright, just for some clarity, who all is actually an empath? and i'd like to know, if you're an empath, what can you do?

[edit on 11/22/2007 by bobbyboy]

that denotes a "plan" and I could never profess to know God's. I know that I sense a plan, but that doesn't mean I understand it. But I like to go downstream, and if that means I will be used again, so be it.

reply to post by seagrass


i never said you were being controlled, just used. trust me, i sense a plan too. you have to keep in mind, people are going to say that God gives us free will, therefore destroying any chance of a set future. but what they fail to realize is that God knew every move and choice you'd make before you were born. so He had to make a plan based on every choice, so the future to us is not set, but to Him i think it is, but He doesn't worry about it, nor should we. tangent! sorry sometimes i get on those and can't get off till i'm done talking. but no, that's what you should do, be willing to be used as an instrument, ready to do what you're told at any given time. it's what i call faith and trust. and you don't have to understand His plan to be part of it. wow, hardest lesson for me to learn, now i'm teaching it. but really, you have to surrender to Him and be used.

reply to post by bobbyboy


you want to figure out why you have these abilities? Do you try to figure out why God gave us two hand instead of four? Why does he love free will so much? We cannot answer these questions. Remember how the religious elders in jesus time had lost the truth? So might it be when he sees what's happened to us. The same reason the many rejected Him are the same ones why christians nowadays reject him (him=truth). That being said, concentrate on jesus words in the bible, and that's it.

reply to post by bobbyboy


even those who do not recognize christ will recieve gifts, but will not give credit to God. They'll only use their gifts to deepen they're pride. Pride is what stops people from having faith. You have to understand that some people will not submit, because they don't want to deal with the oppenness to mockery that faith entails. Their ego couldn't handle it because their pride is too great. I htink these people get pride and self love mixed up.

reply to post by heyo


you're all about some end times aren't ya? lol anyway, so am i. it's part of why people don't understand me. i read Revelation like it's nothing deeper than the rest. it's like i know what's figurative and whatnot.

I took the test, which was interesting. Actually I didn't really read the questions before answering. It was when it was first posted, so I don't remember all the results precisely, but I was given, as I recall...

95% Shaman
90% Healer
80% to the rest, except
60% Judge

As to what can be done with it... Viewing the universe as matter transformed by energy makes the possibilities vast. I mentioned before that I see all so-called psychic abilities as related to empathy, and all a matter of energy.
