The best ideas come to us when we’re about to fall asleep – such thing happened to me yesterday, when the idea of “filters” just popped-up to my head, I don’t know how, I don’t know why, it just happened. Suddenly, I had this though inside my mind: “filters“. What the heck are filters?

The best way to describe this would be to mention Predator movie – can you remember the “sight filters” Predator had, which allowed him to see things human do not see? He had filters for temperature, infra-red, “alien-sight” and more, and he was able to change the filter to see different things whenever he wanted. The very same thing apply to filters, or at least as far as I understand the river of thoughts that hit me last night :P.

We need an example, therefore, imagine a psychic trying to acquire specific information about a person, let’s say “does this person likes me?” He will use his scanning abilities to find out this specific information, if the person likes or dislikes him. But will he be able to pick up other information such us: is she aggressive, sad, troubled, scared, happy? I wouldn’t say so as long as he’s focused on this single question “does this person likes me”.

It’s because in my understanding when we’re scanning other person looking for specific information about he/she, we’re putting this “filter” inside our mind, which picks up only the information we’re looking for, and pushing all other information away so it can’t reach us – this way, we can focus on acquiring specific information via psychic means without being overwhelmed by the amount of psychic impulses. And this way, I got the answer why the person I encountered two weeks ago felt like having vampiric energy field, but later he was just neutral – it’s because during first encounter I used the general filters to get the general impression, and later I blocked most of the impulses because I needed to cooperate with this person – I guess it was some kind of a mental shielding perhaps.

And these filters can be created consciously, and they are being created consciously every time when we’re scanning for something specific. With time and experience, a set of basic filters is created which is making the use of them even easier. Following this thought, we could say there are general filters and detailed filters .

Still… it’s just a theory based on the thoughts that popped-up to my head, personally I’m yet to explore this matter in practise.
