When viewing it, I figure each color may represent a day as it was recorded in my hair. Each day having a different color that the one next to it so it looked like this but vertical and more rainbow.

When you think, you can hear yourself in your head and feel your throat vibrate as if you were saying it out loud. Same with singing. Sing in your head and push it out with the pulsing. It doesn't have you be words..just the notes. It's not words that you send, it's packets of different pressures like that which hits your eardrum and you interpret as sound, but forming the words in your mind creates the waveform.

In my favorite game's most recent expansion, we meet a character that calls herself an "entelechy" This ability is somewhat similar to telepathy, but instead of being able to read concrete thoughts word for word, she can read the emotions and energy of others. I suppose in general this would sound similar to the general idea of empathy, but the way the game describes it is something more. It seems to be a transmission of the feeling itself. I found the concept to be rather relatable "the entities that have the ability to interact with this energy can turn emotions into tangible phenomena" pretty intruiging [link to www.britannica.com (secure)] |

When he compares the different kinds to water it reminds of the two sides of the One Power, in Wheel of Time. Saidin Quoting: Seer777 Saidin (pronounced: sah-ih-DEEN) is the male half of the One Power. It is described as a raging torrent of the Power which must be subdued and dominated by a strong-willed channeler in order to be controlled. Men feel women holding the Source as a tingling on their skin, like goosebumps. They can also sense when another man is holding the Power though not in the way women do: a man would describe it as a feeling of awe and menace, with nothing truly visible, and not easily pinpointed to a particular location or person. Saidin is described as a rough torrent that resists any attempts to control it. To employ it requires strict control, forcing it to do what you want. Male channellers universally refer to gaining the Power as "seizing" it and weaving saidin as "wielding" it like a weapon. This essential difference in the nature of the two halves of the Power means that a woman cannot teach a man to channel, and vice versa.

(OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 534086 United States 02/09/2023 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thread: Mad World (Page 1326) Aes Sedai Quoting: Seer777 "An Aes Sedai never lies, but the truth she speaks may not be the truth you think you hear." -Tam al'Thor In the Old Tongue, Aes Sedai means "servants of all," and the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends lived up to this definition. They aided mankind as scientists, healers, and philosophers. Women used saidar and men saidin, although it is believed that channelers in the Age of Legends were much stronger, or at least more knowledgeable, in the Power than their modern equivalents; it is believed that they could fly, and things that would seem miraculous today were supposedly commonplace to them. Some of their lost Talents, such as Traveling and Dreaming, have only just been rediscovered. One thing is clear, however; the greatest works were wrought by male and female channelers working together. [link to wot.wikia.com] Traveling and Dreaming.. Quoting: Seer777 Traveler Traveling is the art of using the One Power to transport over vast distances nearly instantaneously through a portal called Gateway. Traveling is also related to Skimming, which is the simplest and a little less fast way to use this kind of Weaves to open Gateways. In the world of the Wheel of Time it is considered one of the most important and useful Weaves. Traveling was considered a lost and forgotten skill since the Breaking of the World, documented only in some ancient book. It can be guessed that it was lost because almost all the Aes Sedai knowing this Weaves died during the Breaking and also because it was impossible to use it while the world surface was reshaped continuously by the mad male channelers. [link to wot.wikia.com] Penny is a, Traveler. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Dreaming Quoting: Seer777 Dreaming is the Talent of having dreams that foretell possible futures. During Egwene al'Vere's training among the Aiel Wise Ones, little information was given about this aspect of the talent. The only real information is that a dreamer must decipher and know the truth of their own dreams; no one else can teach or guide it. This Talent is unconnected to the One Power. [link to wot.wikia.com] Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Weaves Quoting: Seer777 Weaves are those teachable abilities that can be performed with the One Power. Theoretically, weaves of the One Power are similar to textile weaves, and weaving Saidar has been compared to folding silk. Once a weave has been created, the channeler can "hold" it to keep the effect ongoing, or knot the flows, a process called "tying the weave off". A weave that has been tied off persists even after the channeler has released the True Source or left the area. A channeler of Saidin or Saidar is able to see the weaves created using the same half of the Power, but not the other. For this reason, a man cannot teach a woman how to create a weave and vice versa. Although a channeler can intuitively create a weave (such as when Rand wove Balefire for the first time), most channelers learn by watching others create the weave. Once it has been created, they then practice creating it themselves until they can recreate it by memory. A channeler with the knowledge of how to invert their weaves can hide them from the sight of others. [link to wot.wikia.com] One Power Quoting: Seer777 "The One Power comes from the True Source, the driving force of creation, the force the Creator made to turn the Wheel of Time. Saidin, the male half of the True Source, and saidar, the female half, work against each other, and at the same time together to provide that force. Saidin is fouled by the touch of the Dark One, like water with a thin slick of rancid oil floating on top. The water is still pure, but it cannot be touched without touching the foulness. Only saidar is still safe to be used... The True Source cannot be used up, any more than the river can be used up by the wheel of the mill. The Source is the river; the Aes Sedai, the waterwheel." -Moiraine Damodred The One Power emanates from the True Source, which is made up of two complementary parts: saidin, the male half, and saidar, the female half. People who can wield it are called channelers. [link to wot.wikia.com] cont.. Not everyone has the ability to "channel," or access, the One Power. Most have none at all, and some only have the ability to be taught, to one degree or another. But a few channelers are born with "the spark," an innate inclination that will lead them to touch the Source whether they wish to or not. These untrained channelers, sometimes referred to as wilders often die without ever gaining control over their innate ability by a strange sickness; some research indicates the mortality rate for untrained channelers is 75% or more. Often, however the survival comes with a price; wilders may not even know they are using the One Power to do things. They just know that sometimes, "things happen" when they want them badly enough.
