BEWARE, I LIVE! RUN, COWARDS!

[Psykan]

But certainly that what other people said is "ridiculous and/or impossible", I find it not at all to be like that. It also delights me to hear that you're an empath, because I find the concept of those and their, let's call 'em 'skills or talent', kinda interesting and almost noble, yet tirering for the empathic person themselves and it's certainly nothing everyone could handle.

The problem I've seen is that most people have completely shunned anything that doesn't conform to what they are able to perceive...and since most people don't have the kind of perception that I and a few others do, most are inclined to think that ESP and psychic power is "ridiculous nonsense."  A rampant innate fear of the unknown also comes into play, as well as people's unwillingness to budge from their own comfort zones and perspectives.

Honestly, I've gotten to the point where I just say "people can think what they like, even if it's completely wrong."  

Hooray forestry! I don't meet many other forestry majors (even attempted ones) online. I'm a research forester myself.

Few seem to really care about nature, at least in America.  It's all about what makes the most money or what brings the most fame, and in these self-centered pursuits, too many people have forgotten to just look around and see the real world.  As for studying forestry - or anything in general - I can't do it effectively in a university environment.  What's more, I'm someone who can literally feel the planet's pain and the anguish of living things, as well as the effects of the corruption that carries through so much of humanity now.  This falls outside the boundary of "science," and would directly conflict with a forestry major and everything that would come afterward, like the research you do, since extrasensory perception and the like have no place in the scientific method.  Honestly, this is understandable; after all, the scientific method revolves around observations made through the five "normal" human senses.  I can observe through the sensory as well as the extrasensory.  For a while now, I've been bridging science and scientific approaches with my own extrasensory observation; the challenge is doing this without conflating the two perspectives.  I've actually found a lot of answers this way - answers I'd have missed if I'd only taken one side or the other.

One thing I'd like to do is work with scientists and take this scientific approach, but also perform my own research on the side, outside that boundary, and connect the two sides.  I'd liken it to having pieces of a puzzle laid out and seeing how each piece fits most effectively and sensibly into the whole thing.  The end result couldn't rightfully be called "science,' but I don't think it even needs a name, does it?

You also take beautifully pictures of nature during that research.

You mean like this, yeah?



A lot of my research involves tracking the movement and activity of natural energy - including the vitality of the world.  Needless to say, this requires a "fieldwork" approach - even with my perception, I can't make these observations if I'm stuck indoors or in a lab.  Since I have to go outside (and love being outside anyway), lots of photo opportunities present themselves.

The world has much to teach us humans, if we're open to learning this way.
