personal experiences. It happened when I was younger more.

Do you think the 'premonitions' might have something to do with what you are already familiar?

I make my own scent environment now. Mah Jung and the other one they sell. Also sage, when I can find it.

What are your aromas? ps . I studied anatomy and the scent center of the brain .. that is the only place we "smell'.. the brain . is primal. We are animals after all. One's who have learned to make fire and a bombs.

imo, the only thing that is going to save us is our primoral instincts. I have no faith in big arms warfare. They will all be gone. It will be those of us who know what the Mother wants and work our best with her.

I don't for a nanosecond believe that destruction 'science' is going to get us. ha. I laugh. Ha!
Call me idealistic, but no. The natural will always survive. . It's logical and physics.
The thing about us. We are indestructable. good sides/bad sides

And then there is the Bible verse which says . we will turn constructions for death into plow shares.
We will say war no more. We are going to produce the earth as never before. Another paradise

How do I arrive. Simple because I see nothing else.
I am so sorry for those of you who are living vivid the destruction.
I saw the destruction.
But maybe on a different plane. One that says . where/who/ from what is sustence born.
Even the beastly one requires sustenance on this planet. If he has chosen to come to our level. Then he's got to eat.

If your days are filled with, when might I next eat.
Things get real simple.

And the dark one has no answer. He's the side that destroys. Which is very important and serves a purpose. But he doesn't feed us.

2. Here are some scientific studies in general
Edited on Tue Dec-12-06 04:49 AM by rumpel
if that is what you mean by credible. Sorry it is not specific to aromas

http://ions.org/research.cfm
their library of research papers
http://www.noetic.org/publications/research/main.cfm

and their online magazine I put a search with the word "psychic" (the link does not show results)
http://www.shiftinaction.com/discover/search

Here is one
http://www.shiftinaction.com/node/184

snip

The concept of remote viewing, he says, still generates a healthy amount of skepticism (even in the choir) because its mechanisms are not yet understood. But a rich body of convincing data shows that psychic abilities exercised through "nonlocal mind" (our connection to universal mind) enable remote viewers "to experience and describe activities at distant places blocked from ordinary perception." The idea of nonlocality is derived from quantum-physics experiments showing that particles (photons) remain mysteriously connected even though traveling in opposite directions at the speed of light. CIA-sponsored remote-viewing experiments, many only recently declassified, were conducted by Targ and his colleagues at SRI as part of "ESPionage" during the Cold War.

The remarkable story behind the initial funding of this controversial research involves IONS' founder, Edgar Mitchell. The sequence of people and events has the aura of "nonlocal" connections at work. Targ, a popular speaker on psi phenomena, was lecturing on extrasensory perception at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco in 1972. In the audience was George Pezdirtz, a NASA administrator for special projects. Fascinated by Targ's lecture, Pezdirtz invited him to a NASA conference on speculative technology at St Simon's Island, North Carolina, in May 1972. There, Targ met the recently transformed Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who had experienced "a sense of universal connectedness" in space so powerful that it changed his life. Mitchell had just retired from the astronaut corps, and was envisioning a new organization dedicated to exploring the mysteries of consciousness. Also at the NASA meeting were science-fiction novelist Arthur C. Clarke, physicist Werner von Braun, and James Fletcher, Chief Administrator of NASA.
To this august gathering, Targ demonstrated his ESP teaching device that purports to help people improve their psychic functioning. He proposed a "distant effects" brain-wave experiment to test the hypothesis that, in one room, a person's EEG would change as a light flashed in a distant room. Further, he pitched the idea of a research program to investigate ways astronauts could hone their psychic abilities and consequently sharpen their interactions with complex spacecraft hardware.

on edit; corrections - i guess it's late...

2nd edit:

3. If you goggle
psychic smell or scent

You will get some info.

Unfortunately this is the rarest of psychic gifts and
there is not much on it....

If you care to share what is going on with you, I am curious what kinds of feelings are you getting?
