Dear Bard,
I recognize the telepathic assumptions. Sometimes it works.. Mostly it doesn't... And I share your experience of other people picking up our projections. I used to experiment on that in my wilder days. Out on the town if I entered a bar I would project a positive feeling and openness and after a few hours of doing this people would behave pretty much like I projected.
I wish I could share my memories like this. Projecting clear images is beyond me. Sometimes people pick up thoughts from my mind. But if I decide to just put across an image then that's not likely to work.
I'm not one to treat others with velvet gloves in this regard though. In my opinion people are not spiritually aimless. Even those that don't consciously participate in spirituality have made clear choices. My first big encounter was unplanned on my part. I lacked the ability to decide if I wanted it or not. I even lacked the ability to see it coming. No one ever asked my opinion in the matter. It just happened. I was an atheist with an academic interest in the occult before, I required weeks to rebuild my self image after. I was literally dumbstruck and spoke to no one in that period, fortunately I had a rock to hide under. Regarding if someone should have asked my permission first I don't think there would be any point. I would not be able to anticipate the consequences of saying yes or saying no. The person involved told me he just responded to signals I put out. I don't know what they were. And knowing what I know now I would not readily give up this experience even if it was inconvenient at the time.

Another friend did know about it, and was stunned when the woman described everything perfectly. Unfortunately, as it's a very empty place comapred to here, when she opened her eyes she burst into wracking sobs because she felt suddenly cut-off from everyone and totally alone. Her main concern was that her husband (who was with us) wasn't there. It seems she got it all mixed up with 'heaven', etc. She was quickly ok, but I'm very careful of that sort of thing now.We should not play games indeed.. Though the fact that she cried did not make it a bad experience. And she caught a glimpse that not many humans do. I don't feel sorry for her I'm more inclined to congratulate her.
