 thank you colouredinone - hugsbackatcha.  Can you believe I am still in bed?  I haven't been this sick in years.
But then - all the empaths out there should have picked up on my sickness and feeling it already.

I wonder if this comes from being a witch for over 30 years.
I do agree - some have a natural ability to be empathic.  (As for the recognition of the other, did you consider that it could be a past life memory?)

That said, the dynamic of feeling or knowing anothers Dominant or submissive nature is more energetic. Meaning, we are energetic beings, people sense each others energy on many levels we are not consciously aware of. When you want light you do not think about electricity or see it, you flip on the light switch and it is there.
Our bodies are hard wired to recognize in others that wich is compatible with ourselves. Its like a frequency we emit and or a beacon we gravitate towards or away from energetically.

Life can be difficult for empaths until they learn to distinguish between their own emotions and their empathic reponses to OTHER people's emotions.

You'd be surprised to find that geography matters too I find it's easier to get people to make eye contact in rural or country areas than it is in big city atmospheres. Eye contact is fun to play with when meeting people or just facing strangers in public, but unless you actually know the person their response could be for many reasons. Maybe they are shy, insecure, afraid, or merely don't want to look at you. Maybe they are racist, cruel, ignorant, judgemental, or don't like the shirt you are wearing.

To me, empathy isn't about magically knowing things. Being empathic, is having empathy for people by reading a myriad of small things about them. How they speak, their body language, behavioral changes, and knowing about them personally all contribute. I certainly don't believe in empathy as some mystical force, I believe it is merely a sensitvity towards others, and the ability to 'put yourself in their shoes' so to speak.

so very true...before i was able to do so, i didn't want to deal with society...and at the time society was school, i would do things that would be just bad enough to get my into in school suspension most of the week...and in a small room with 2 or 3 other people all day long...much better than a couple of thousand adolescent hormone machines running around....

i was in at an educational demo a few months ago where they combined temporary piercing with releasing negative energy, and though i found out later they claimed to channel the negative energy into the earth (i walked back into the room not knowing what they were doing because i was bored with the discussion)...i was still blasted with the energy that was released from the first piercing being done, i absorbed most of the energy from the first piercing, and walked out of the room from the physical illness i felt...i heard that other people who were sensitive to energy felt it from subsequent piercings...(did that paragraph make sense??)

but i guess it all makes sense with my results from the quiz...

In all humor,  I agree.

Taking a literal reading - every action has a motivation, a driving force behind it, and with a bit of effort we can generally understand why someone took that action, even if we don't agree with it, or even find it abhorrent. The fact is that the human condition is inherently flawed and even the best of people may commit the worst of acts.

Flip side - many empathetic individuals become mean and selfish as a shell to protect themselves from the constant bombardment of other peoples feelings and emotions. One learns to insulate.

Six.

Empathy tends to be specifically the ability to experience the feelings of another person as if they themselves were experiencing those feelings.

A very different skill/trait from sympathy, esp, intuition, and all those other ways in which we "know" things about people which aren't generally knowable otherwise.



i agree with LA's take on this.

i am an empath and the root of this lies in the fact that i am a twin (a multiple) and was the one who 'read' my sister's intentions from the word go.

i have many 'skills' close to empathy, or off shoots of my empathy that came as part and parcel of my development. These include:

~ precognition (clustered around specific events usually deaths of close firends, relatives or even those in close geopgraphical vicinity)
~ remote viewing: which i did naturally as a child and adolescent, again as beng a twin. i never knew that that was what it was called. i just knew where she was and what she was doing. i can also do this with others but i choose not to as normal everyday surprises are best. Sometimes it is a rough ride not knowing and feeling i suppose that the future is a cliff edge beyond which i choose not to look but a future which is 'unknown' fits in with the general consensus of what the future is.
~ visionary episodes, which i have also learned to control and incorporate in tassermancy (tea leaf reading) which i will do for others and have done and will do in public settings
~tarot cards which i no longer do as it relies far too much on prescribed meanings
~scrying with the use of a pendulum crystal: i like to buy hese as gifts for skeptical friends aa i believe everyone has some of these so-called supernatural abilities
~diving rods (made out of metal coat hangers lol)
~ what is called deep empathic understanding as a process in therapeutic work: 'seeing' their inner visions
~ intuitive non-script based teaching and lecturing

Did i recognise my Master on sight? Yes. As He is the first i would call Master even though i have been in a fair few sub/Dom relationships. i can 'see' into His past. i understand His desires to 'control' or master me.

i don't talk about this much except that on those occassions when others are interested. i don't talk about it because it drains me completely to get involved with interactions with skeptics.

Status: offline 		Both myself and my Dominant are intuitive people.  I can get a sense of what He's thinking, whether it be a glass of water, desiring me to kneel at His feet, or something that bothers Him.  This is not unusual for submissives, for them to know what to do, or sense what their Dominant has in mind.  He can read my eyes, can tell when my mood shifts, and knows what I am trying to say when I have trouble communicating.  This is very important, especially since I have a hard time communicating.  However, if the Dominant knows and understands the submissive, this isn't very unusual, either. 

What is weird is when He hears my thoughts in my voice from another room, even if I didn't say anything at all.  Or when I say something that He was just about to say - constantly.  He is very in-tune with the Universe and welcomes its guidance.  He listens when the world is telling Him something; He has opened Himself to the possibility that the Universe is interactive, and that if you are receptive to the Universe, the Universe is receptive to you.
