But if you really find that your consciousness is two feet in front of you, well, I never understood THAT before!!! I’ve always “understood” what you have said on the subject.

Why do you think I hide so much ? ;o) My personal space, the space needed for me to be comfortable, is at about the tips of my fingers at arms length, all around. If I know and trust people, then standing to the sides or at angles to the sides, they can stand pretty close. But that focus point at the front, is touchy, even if I know and trust a person. I need people about 4 feet away, directly in front. And in back, don't get close enough that I can sense your presence there. You've commented before, I believe, that I know a lot more about myself, than most others you have known. "More aware" of myself... Maybe that's why. My awareness or consciousness isn't centered on myself. I can look at myself from an 'outside perspective', easier than those who are centered on themselves. And in fact, maybe am forced to mostly do so. I can tell you that I have also almost seemed to be able to read people's thoughts, when they stood in that focus. Especially if they were not paying attention to me, or were not aware of my presence. No way I actually have ever read anyone's thoughts. Just that I seemed to intuitively know what they were thinking, feeling, were going to say, were about to do, etc. More than coincidence or even paying attention, could account for. Yes.

You're the first person I know that does not point at their own head. Does it get weird if someone else occupies that space? Seriously?! Cool!
