I presently work in the bar section of a large bowling alley. There was one coworker who was spoken of almost in awe, well known among the staff members for being able to look into your heart, and read your past and future to give advice. This individual was the mechanic who was commented as being 'almost a part of the machinery', of elder age, and of vietnamese heritage and buddhist background.
My curiosity piqued I had the opportunity to talk to the man about various issues into our life. It turns out he came from a wealthy tobacco farming family in Southern Vietnam and we got into a discussion about the virtues and detriments of tobacco and the dangers of modern product. Eventually the conversation was taken towards a personal direction as the conversation wound into a more spiritual area between myself, the Buddhist, and an Atheist coworker who had been astounded by his capabilities.
The Buddhist eventually explained his very successful methodology: He claimed he could take himself out his body and into other peoples, sort of see their world. He took what he got form there and then cross checked it by reading certain bodily characteristics and minimal cues for verification. He claimed to be able to get about 90% right on very specific things.
Eventually my atheist coworker, after having the method revealed to him became disillusioned and left, being confronted with his own subjective expectations of how he THOUGHT it was done and being disturbed by the results. Me and the buddhist dove deeper into a detailed discussion and exchange of ideas in which he correctly commented on my parents illness and aspects of my nature that I do reveal and are not easy to spot (such as my lack of 'commitment/will'). It took us into a discussion on God and the idea of the future as existing but changeable within certain parameters in which we found we had almost identical ideas.
In fact, our only difference was that he supposed that all humans were basically good, while I supposed and explained that some were basically evil, an idea which interested him.
The most uncanny thing was our firm agreement. We were intellectual mirrors of each other, although he was content with his position in life and I wanted to move higher (he recommended one of the 3 ways to me, the path of the yogi). That, and his excellent accuracy of prediction of past events and nature.
Has anyone met anyone like this, or know how to do this kind of thing? I have had my uncanny moments of intuition but I have not been able to apply it like how I saw it applied by him.
