Thanks Greg.

Quote of the Day:

“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.”

HG Wells, The War Of The Worlds

  1. seeing colors
    I have photosynesthesia, where I see numbers as colors…or rather each number as I picture it in my mind has a color attached to it. Letters do not. But I can remember numbers an incredibly long time because of the colors associated with them. For example, 4 is a dark navy blue, 9 is black, 7 is like a maroon, and 1 is yellow. However the colors change if the numbers increase by a digit. So 1,348 is tan, fushia, and blue and to be honest it’s hard to force picture them like I’m doing now to explain it to you. I imagine that synesthesia of aura is a similar effect, whereby the person sees blobs of color around the person and therefore sees each person as a different hue. I don’t know if that means they are actually seeing aura because a number in my head is not a living entity. I find it a fascinating “crossing of wires” in my mind though.

    This all being said…I still can’t do a lick of math 😛

    1. Numbers & colors…….
      I have the same syndrome, though with different colours for each number. I’m wondering if the color/number assignment is hereditary, cultural, or just happenstance?

      For example, “4” is a reddish shade, “3” is a Blue, “8” is black asnd “9” is yellow, “2” is green, and so forth. Interesting to ponder. I’ll bet a survey of those with the syndrome might be right interesting.

      I also don’t have specific colours assigned to letters, those some words tend to have specific hues. I also tend to see music with specific hues/shades as well. It’s a a shade assigned to an entire piece, though, and not to specific notes.

      As an ancillary, or perhaps slightly O/T consideration. I’ve often wondered about the connection of music with specific moods and how that aligns with our biological system.

      See, as a musician, and someone who spent a career in the Navy with ASW, which depends upon sound patterns, I’ve come to some interesting observations/conclusions.

      Our biological systems transmit orders via electrical impulses, which act upon specific frequencies. It seems to me that certain musical chords will match up with certain moods, and that that is why they have specific effects upon us. What we call “blues” chords tend to be written in A minor and A major, and many of those with 7th suspended or plain Major.minor 7th chords. I’d be right interested to see how the sound frequency/vibrations match up with our own body’s electrical signals when we hear those specific chords.

      there has to be a physical connection between music and our moods, as I see it time and again. It’s just impossible to overlook. I’d love to have the funding to commission the research.

      1. FWIW
        I have always believed my mother to be descended from the Sidthe, in some form or another, and to have passed her abilities of second sight and other forms of “seeing” to all of her children. She alluded to this on a couple of occasions, and reflecting over these past (many) years, I have no doubt that there is some connection among my siblings (and myself) between this world and others.

        Her parents came from Cork, in County Cork, Ireland, and migrated to Australia in the late 1800’s.

        Perhaps forward of me to bring forth such a claim, but it’s true and there it is. Whatever “gifts” she passed along to me have made my own life interesting, and I have noticed that some strings, or other gossamer links of those same abilities have passed along to my children.

        What’s interesting is that my wife, for all her Pagan beliefs, has absolutely none of those connections and, at times, seems absolutely unaware of them in our own children.

        Go figure, eh?

      2. Musical colours
        That’s really interesting Gwedd, definitely deserves funding for more research. It makes sense to me. I knew a guy who’s synesthetic — he sees colours when he listens to music, each specific to a chord or note. He also sees auras, and has precognitive dreams. He told me he’d been seeing auras for so long, he got to know which colours indicated certain moods and personalities. He also saw auras of varying degrees for animals, which makes me think it’s not just the brain, but he actually does see electromagnetic fields. Unfortunately I lost touch with him, very nice guy.

      3. music
        that’s interesting. i’ve found that many people who have this are involved in the arts. a former manager of my also had this with numbers and she worked in theatre. I’m a graphic designer. it makes me think of how many other famous composers also may have the same type of color/number or color/music association, such as Mozart. Music and numbers are associated with this sort of “great equation” or “great geometry” that seems to work to form matter in the universe. Perhaps it is a form of “telekinetic” (for lack of a better word) way of connecting to the equation hidden to most humans. Mozart, Goethe, Boehme, and several others all report hearing the “sound of the universe” aka voices of angels, perhaps they had this too.

        I find this all fascinating. Thanks for sharing Gwedd.

  2. synesthesia and aura
    Interesting, but I never heard it mentioned before that those with synesthesia also see auras and vice versa. Might just be a case of coincidence.
    Like the other commenter, I have synesthesia and never see auras (and I am also extremely bad at math since the colors in longer numbers drive me nuts).
    Probably difficult the find out about the mechanism, but both the other suggestions, seeing whatever one wants to see and pushing the visual system to produce artefacts sound very plausible, as it usually is claimed that it can be “learned” and everyone has the “ability”, which also speaks against the synesthesia theory.

      “The minute you get into the JFK stuff, and the minute you sniff at the 9/11 stuff, you begin to lose the will to live,” he told the audience in Cambridge.

      Uh huh. That’s like saying the minute you look deeply into any historical event “you begin to lose the will to live,” and there is the typical attempt to brand such research as the province of moody, alienated people. These insincere forays into the subject of mass deception by people whom I think are often representing maybe twice removed the perps themselves seem to be coming with greater and greater frequency these days – a sign of panic. And panic is appropriate – the general public is growing better and better informed about “what really happened” thanks to the internet.
      The “effect on democracy” meme is identical to what the crypto-Zionist Cass Sunstein was heard to say about the subject when he infamously declared a few years back as Obama’s information czar that conspiracy theories should be “outlawed.” Sunstein is one of a small army of AIPAC backed “intellectuals” assigned the task of obfuscating the role of Israeli intelligence in setting up the 911 op.

      All of this is mighty encouraging to people dedicated to exposing the conspirators. When the guilty and their representatives get as brash and lame as this they are panicking.
