Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Sudden awareness of my third eye or mere sympathy pang?

So, I was listening to Erin and Steve's podcast on being psychic (Podcast no. 21, I believe) - I'm not really 'into' that stuff, but I try to keep an open mind. As soon as Erin talked about what happened when she was four, getting hit in the third eye, I got a sympathy pang - this is normal for me. Someone says they got punched in the face buy this hulking mass of muscle they looked at funny, my cheekbone hurts, guy gets kicked in the groin, I wince involuntarily and get a slight pain in my own naughty bits. It's just a physical reaction that passes quickly.

However, this time, it kept up long after it normally would, peaking at certain points, particularly when Erin was giving tales of her supernatural experiences. I'm still feeling it as I type this.

In my Christian upbringing, I occasionally thought I felt a presence (most often, a mysterious warm or cold spot), but it was never more than a slight feeling - y'know, those crazy fleeting notions most people get when they're say, walking through a graveyard alone at night or something - and usually left me wondering whether to tell the pastor or get therapy. In fact, I'm an Atheist now, and thinking about the latter thanks to tonight.

I find this experience interesting, but it may well just be my exceptionally vivid imagination.

On a slightly less serious note, I have the embarrassing trait of getting a unibrow if I get lazy with plucking. Does that have anything to do with third eyes, or is it just your average unfortunate physical trait?
