I know that philosiphically speaking we are, but what I mean is it feels like when I am feeling bad, everyone around feels like they are feeling bad, and same when I'm feeling good. For example, when I come to hip and I'm feeling low, it seems there are alot of posts about people feeling low. And when I am feeling good, it seems there are alot of just fun, carefree posts. There are two options here. The first is that I focus on the bad when I am in a rut, and I focus on the good when I am not. But the other one is: are we really all in this together? Do we all go down together and come back up together? Looking for opinions here.
Most fundamentally we share our thoughts. Matter has three properties, absorptive, reflective, and polarity. You can be totally harmonized or you can be just considerate, or you could just not give a damn.
Reflective doesn't give a damn Absorptive is totally harmonized, open minded. And polarity is considerate being direction of spin.
Well there is that nothing real can be made unreal. So not all scenarios are possible. However in that single prohibition, we may find grace.
I've been noticing a lot of new Dodge Challengers lately, and I thought, "Wow, they must be selling like hotcakes, I never see the new Cameros anywhere." So then I started looking for Cameos, and guess what? Everybody traded in their Challengers for Cameros!!!!
Next time you are in a situation where there are a lot of people talking to each other sit back and just listen to the room... Without any cue the noise level will rise and fall in a sine wave pattern, in other words the amount of talking will increase and decrease cyclically even though these are individual conversations all happening at the same time. There is something connecting all these separate minds.
They have made some researches similar to what you are talking about. I can't remind myself what it was exatcly. Maybe how to understand single person in crowd? Not sure.
We have deep agreements. Money is a glaring example. You don't seem to consciously think about it but you are in utter lock step with those around you on the subject.
It's a mix of Vagina and Engineer. It's to let the ladies know I know what I'm doing down there :coolgleamA: (hahaha) So 1 vote for it's just me. Have you ever noticed how Ideas seem to just show up in different people's minds at the same time? Like if it's a good idea, it seems there's a few people that will get it at the same time?
Well one very real thing is the way you think. If I told you to look at blue cars next time you were on the road, you'd start thinking that there are a lot of blue cars now, because you are thinking of blue cars. It's even more effective when you're in an emotional state. I agree however that we may all be connected. We're the same being split into different scenarios, it's why conformity will always exist, even when you fight against it, there hasn't been one day in our existence with true independence from each other. Even if we spend a lot of our days alone, now we all come to the Internet to forums like these. Weird huh
So anyway, we tend to notice what we are looking for, be it cars or the emotional states of others. But there is also research being done in the area of synchronization through the release of human pheromones, particularity in the alleged synchronization of female menstrual cycles. Then there is behavioral synchronization: , The Courtship Dance: Patterns of Nonverbal Synchronization in ... (this is a PDF file) I remember running into this years ago when I heard a talk on body language. If you are sitting around having drinks of something or other somewhere, notice that when one person takes a drink, others will also. Then, if you have ever been a part of some type of team sport, you know how the attitude of the individuals can affect the overall performance of the team as a whole.
i do believe we're all conected. i wouldn't quite use the word "mentally," but mystically, metaphyisically, yes, i believe we are all connected. and i believe we would do well in going from co-incidences to co-intentions. (speaking of intentions, im a newbie at forums. i am trying to post my reply to the question "are we somehow connected mentally") (i will add that i believe we are all one - im not exactly the 1st that thot this - and at the same time the all-one is made up of logic and free will in each of its individual components
I'm not sure about some kind of global mental connection as in 'we are all one'. It could still be though. What I am more sure of is there seems to be some kind of mental connection but it really is a subconscious communication connection. What Meagain speaks of are certainly aspects of that!
