In 3 words it means "cross sensory perception".
I didn't even know that there was a word to describe the experience until someone pointed it out to me 3-4 years ago. (Until then I always assumed everyone could do what I did in my day to day living.)
Apparently it's considered a "rare" form of perception, and that you either have it or you don't.
Some of the scientific articles I read mention that the ability runs in families, so it's considered genetic. Personally I have some disputes with that above claim, but I don't want to turn this into a lengthy intro. (I'd like to believe it can be taught, but I'm not sure...)
Where do you stand on this? Do you know what I'm talking about? Do you have synaesthesia?
Coloured hearing. Yes I know what you're talking about. I've always been fascinated with this 'affliction'.
There's a thread in here somewhere on this. (or maybe it was DV)
Does cross sensory perception tie in with NLP practices?
I don't know what that means,purelife.
People with synasthesia hear certain tones when their brain processes a colour. Some people also have it in reverse. They see specific colours relating to specific tones.
It seems like it might be rather nice.

Yes, there's been a recent mention of synaesthesia on DV, because I brought it up. You can't discuss this topic with any sincerity over there though.
And despite the hundreds of hits my threads received, as far as I know only one person came forward and mentioned that she had it.
(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif) But then, the aformentioned person uses 98 different aliases so it felt like I had a lot of company.
I don't know if this makes any sense, but yes, I do have that, I think.
For example,
I've always associated the number #5 with the letter R and the colour Brown.
Let me know if anyone agrees with this ^ ? Or if it's just me!!! k thx
PC, there're dozens of forms of synaesthesia so don't get caught up in that one single form (ie. "colored hearing") that is way overplayed by the media.
They don't know any better, so they get fixated on that... (which makes me really roll up my eyes)
If I showed you a picture of a flower, can you tell me what it sounds like?

I'm sure there is Raging Poodle. The thread that I was referring to on synasthesia was one I started in here BECAUSE I wanted to know more about it......not because I knew all about it. (did a search, can't find it)
I used the term coloured hearing, because it's the simplest description.
If you showed ME a flower could I tell you what it sounds like? No, but studies show that people with synasthesia can... AND there is a common thread amongst those who do. That the sounds they hear are the same as each others. I learned of synaesthesia about 20 years ago, but have heard very little of it since. OMNI magazine had a really good article on it, but I'm sure research has come a long way since. I'd love to hear more..........in blue.

#3 is Red
#4 is Green
So you get to 5, and it's Brown.

Give us some more examples please, Raging Poodle :)
thank god we can modify our spelling errors on this site. ahah!
One last point I can make before I run off is that I believe associating numbers with the letters of the alphabet, goes beyond the scope of synaesthesia as there's no sensory involvement there. I think it starts going into the domain of Numerology at that point.
But then that's the area I like exploring...
I think it's called "high synaesthesia" because it encompasses a much wider range of associations rather than being confined to the overpublicized "color sound" combinations.
For example if I demonstrated how tomatoes or green bell peppers dance, then surely that also goes into the field of choreography and performing arts. (Though it may not be the most aesthetic sight, esp with me doing it LOL. )
And if flowers have a sound, then why not see if they can "talk" also?
When they start talking, why not ask them what diseases they can cure?
Now we're going into voodoo territory...
I better run. BBL.
Bye Moo! Those are some great concepts. I'd like to look more into this myself, as I've always associated letters of the Alphabet together with Numbers, since I was a kid and added colours to them as well.
Well, I guess kind of like that banal example I just gave about the 5 = R.
Anyway, I'd like to delve more into all those voodoo areas too.
TTYL.
One more thing I'm curious about at the moment is, are adults who can see people's "auras" - coloured hues around a person's body.. also more apt to perceive of these synaesthetic associations?

That's funny how you mentioned that, TheAngel. I once did this healing session on someone. It took a lot of my energy and concentration. What I ended up seeing was a glow around the person's body. I can see the lift of negative energy escaping from the top of the person's head. I was a newbie at this, so didn't know what this glow was called when I saw it. But, after when I was done concentrating, this person said that he felt better, different, like a huge burden was lifted off of his shoulders.
Oh, what about being able to change your body temperature? I once felt really feverish. I was told to concentrate and feel where your body is most "red." I concentrated and told this "redness" to escape my body. After a few minutes of intense concentration, this was able to escape. It was pretty cool when I come to think of it.
purelife... you read other people's glow. Kewl. You gotta teach me how to do it.
I have no chakra power on me. Once I tried to concentrate on a candle flame (my one GF was adamant I could put that flame out with a thought). The only physical change came from the waters of my eyeballs after staring at the flame for like 5 minutes.
I haven't done this for YEARS. I haven't even attempted this. I stopped meditating as well. I probably should.
Lise, I don't know how I could see this yellow glow around the person sitting across from me. It's been so long since I've concentrated like that.
I'm kinda afraid of picking this up again.[/DIV]
I heard that children can see people's aura's quite easily.
And dogs.
Children are more perceptive than adults. Ever watch The Messanger?
I do believe some people are more open to their inner chakra, some more so than others. It's not something that I would dabble in personally speaking. I don't know much about it and I'm not about to do something that I know nothing about.
I found this on google, here:
[span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 204);" lang="EN-GB"]Q.14 I see coloured auras around people. Is this synaesthesia?[/span][span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;" lang="EN-GB"]
Possibly. Although some people are attracted to more mystical explanations. The aura might be triggered by the physical properties of the face, but more often than not the colour of the aura seems to relate to the persons mood or character traits (Collins, 1929; Riggs & Karwoski, 1934). There are now several cases in the literature of synaesthetes who only experience colours for the names of people that they personally know well (Ward, in press; Weiss et al, 2001).

Interesting tidbit on the colored auras there, Angel. I never thought about that. The book I'm reading has a character that see things happening to people. Kinda icky when she started to see a dead face around a woman. I don't ever want to experience that.

I was also reading Stir of Echos and in the book, the main character got hypnotized. After the hypnosis, he saw and heard dead people and he developed this mind-reading skill or something rather. For example, his wife never told him to buy sugar but he brought sugar home and his wife was all flustered. He thought that his wife told him to buy sugar. Her thoughts were communicating to him and he heard them.

I love that pic.......too cute.
I have heard that assigning 'Genders' to objects is also a form of 'Synaesthesia'.
Some more examples. You decide if it's synaesthesia, or something else:
- When I read a recipe, I know what the end product will taste like - even if I've never prepared that dish before. This is also how I discovered my synaethesia. (I have over 15 yrs. experience in food preparation. However I'm not a chef.)
- Similarly, when I read the list of ingredients of an item at a supermarket, more often than not I can taste the end product even if that's the first time I'm purchasing it.
- Abstract renditions: I can make an abstract rendition of anything or anyone. Abstract was my fave genre when I painted. However not all abstract representations are aesthetic enough to be worthy of public display.
- Customized cocktails: I look at a person, then focus about 20 seconds, and "taste" what type of live juice cocktail they'd most enjoy (or their body is craving for) I've been juicing for over a decade...
- Sniffing out people's intentions: Men might have difficulty relating to this, but ask any woman and they "know" if a man is confident or not. Why? Because they can "smell" it. Yes, confidence has its own smell.
And it's not only about confidence. You can smell greed also. Or arrogance for that matter. And many other intentions with which people approach you. (Panhandlers smell like poo BTW. Don't tune into them.)
- Fruity melodies and such: Fruits and vegetables can have their own tones. And not all insects are disgusting. Some are cute and can have their own tunes (although in real life they may not emit any buzzing sounds at all). These tunes can vary, even from bug to bug within the same species.
- Sensual style: By focusing on my hands I can usually tell how a woman wants to be touched, regardless of whether I know her or not.
Not all women like being rubbed or caressed. Some just like to be held still. Some like really slow motions. Some like it rough. Some don't like being touched at all. And some are plain weird that it makes my stomach twist. [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=15 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/grinser/grinning-smiley-014.gif" width=15]

Hmm upon reading your post a second time moo...
I can smell 'disintention'/dishonesty and 'ulterior motives' in people like nobodies business.
Those things all sound pretty cool....I would have never associated them with synaesthesia.
You might find this site interesting Raging Poodle.

I'm familiar with that site. The more I look, the more resources I see on the Net. However much to my dismay most of them are going blah blah blah trying to sound pseudoscientific and all, but not really saying anything that's worthwhile reading. I feel I'm wasting my time reading their drivel because most researchers are not synaesthetes themselves and they're dead wrong most of the time.
Have you come across with any sites that talk about practical (and useful) applications of synaesthesia?
In my examples you can see how they can be pragmatic skills to have in daily life. I'm looking for sites and people who've figured out ways of "grounding" this skill and putting it to some real use, instead of getting caught up in yapping about its theoretical implications and what part of the brain might be involved etc.
I haven't Raging Poodle. I'm quite surprized how much info there is out there now though. When I first started looking into it there was NOTHING. I was certain I must have been misspelling it.
A lot of the stuff I'm reading sounds like they are blurring intuitiveness with synaesthesia.

Logic dictates there are.
Nothing in nature evolves without a purpose that's ultimately related to survival.
I'm sure at one point synaestesia saved someone's skin. Or more likely, synaesthetes would move into the picture once the tribe was in too deep shit and the elders couldn't come up with a solution...
Or another possibility is that in all likelihood earliest shamans were synaesthetes themselves since you can see how some synaesthetic experiences can easily overlap with shamanistic practises.

That's a VERY good observation.
The way I see it, there's a gradual transition to intuitiveness once you take synaesthesia to its limits.
The only time I've ever seen anything about it was on a program, where they showed a nifty little demonstration of what they thought synaesthetes see or hear. It was done by a study in progress of a dozen people who had varying degrees of synaesthesia and the demonstration was put together from information gathered from them. When studied separately, each person had similar experiences......as far as tones in relationship to colour and colour from tones. As less than 4% of the population has it, I imagine it's not the easiest thing to make any conclusions about.
All I know, is I'd sure like to know more.

Would you believe that, I feel no urge to act on that knowledge.
Just because I know how they like it, doesn't mean that I'm obligated to give it to them. That's how I feel about this.
I may've been more enthusiastic in my 20s, which is also when I came across with women who'd take full advantage of my skills, and give nothing in return. The more I gave, the more I was exploited...
And I suppose every normal male goes through their Mr. Nice Guy phase during their personal journey. I know some never learn to snap out of it.
What's in the past, is in the past. Currently I know that one condition has to be met before I can allow the other person to share the benefit of my experience:
A sense of gratitude.
I have to feel a sense of gratitude for something they've done for me. You wouldn't believe the difference a sense of gratitude makes in one's perception, as well as in manifestation of reality.
It's also a key element I use in my healing work.
Once she gives me a sense of gratitude, I can heal her.
Gratitude is contagious.
Once I can feel it, I can pass it back on to her. And with gratitude as our catalyst, you start witnessing "miracles".
(Ignore if what I'm saying sounds corny.)

^ For those with one track minds: A sense of gratitude can be induced in more ways than one. (http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/icon_smile_wink.gif)
BTW I'm not the only genius who came up with this "sense of gratitude" stuff... It's a well known practise coming from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's worked with it.
LOL! Thanks Miss Angel.. Im the spaceboy on top directing everyone? ;)
After being in the job that Im in and working closely with alot of different people from different parts of the world I tend to be able to read alot of people. I can tell instinctively after meeting someone if they are trustworthy and an inclincling of how they are. Just seemed to have developed a sixth sence like that over time.. course Ive talked about this with other friends of mine that work in the same industry and they say they have soemthing like that as well.
I think there could be some Raging Poodle made off synaesthesia, if you know how to use it.

You may or may not know what this stands for, but how would you respond if I gave you a symbol like
"eit.un"?
Would you get an associated number without looking up what it is? And would you also get a sense of time horizon along with the number?

I may be off topic now, but I've noticed that some people appear to be more distracted by 'background' noise than others. What's that all about?
[img style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="url(this.src);" src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c041.gif[/img] Why do I have this sneaking suspicion that you must've been yapping too much with certain someone to bring up this matter... hmm.
I have no idea who that certain someone might be. I've noticed however, that I tend to tune out background "noise clutter" ...............

7 is faded, and looms over and in front of the first two numbers, (the prominent 6 and the secondary 3)
... If that helps any.
When I figure out what 7 means I'll let u know.
This statement alone fascinates me. How can anyone not be intrigued by this.
"One day," I said to my father, "I realized that to make an 'R' all I had to do was first write a 'P' and then draw a line down from its loop. And I was so surprised that I could turn a yellow letter into an orange letter just by adding a line."

Ok, I've read your and PC's all other messages as well. I'm just quoting this one for now, and am trying to decipher what you're saying.
[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a065.gif" border=0] Can't say I'm having much luck though because these colors might carry different values for you.
If I saw them I'd "know" what they correspond to.
So what I can ask you is, can you apply "knowingness" to these numbers and colors?
What does the color gold mean for you for example?
I think you explained green a little bit in another message.
What about blue?
How can this information be grounded?
I'm not explaining what that symbol is for yet, because I'm afraid of confusing you.
You tell me, would it make it easier or more difficult for you to interpret the numbers if you knew what the symbol stood for?
Funny, I always associated Raging Poodle with a moo moo cow. (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/tiere/d030.gif)

I came to the conclusion a while back, that we are definitely talking about different things. The synaesthesia that I know of, has nothing to do with calculations or figuring. It just IS. You just see what you see, and you hear what you hear. There's no formula.
It would probably help if you tell me what that latin symbol is for.

You can think of synaesthetes like a group of MDs. If you threw a heart surgeon in their midst, would he have any difficulty understanding what's going on, or communicating with the MDs?
No.
That's what's happening in this thread.
Only in this case, it's like 2 specialists talking back and forth.

Yes, the proximity of the numbers were interesting to say the least.
However I also wondered if you could be referring to some future value, since you mentioned later how 7 faded and loomed over the 2 numbers.
Here's a little verification exercise: What's the color of "future"? (You can even add smell to it for fun. I usually do.)
Then specify, what color is a stock's future?
(You might notice that the color of a stock's future might vary a little bit. I see it a shade lighter, and slightly greyer, with less misty blue.) Now apply that to the vision of 7. Does it match in "feel"?
If it does, then it was a future value vision.

Because I remember seeing a different quote a split second before hitting the "disconnect" button and heading to bed.
I remember your quoting the last line of my earlier message:
[FONT color=#000000]> Personally I've never done drugs, but guess what... [img]http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/evilgrin0029.gif" ="smile(this.src)"][/FONT]
I didn't complete that sentence because I thought it was obvious. Otherwise I'm dead against ambiguity.
It was connected to the paragraph that came right before it:
[FONT color=#000000]> Also speaking of feeling high: One of my fave classes at the university was ASC (altered states of consciousness) during which one inevitably comes across with accounts of people's LSD experiences.[/FONT]
Since earlier in the thread I had already talked about reading recipes and tasting dishes before preparing them, I thought one could easily make the logical transition: Those text descriptions were giving me the same perceptions as one would get when stoned/high.
I had even added that green snickering smiley to make sure my message would be understood.
Im completely lost with what is going on in this thread. So dont worry. Angel, I dont think your the dumb one here lol.

Logic dictates there are.
Nothing in nature evolves without a purpose that's ultimately related to survival.
I'm sure at one point synaestesia saved someone's skin. Or more likely, synaesthetes would move into the picture once the tribe was in too deep shit and the elders couldn't come up with a solution...
Or another possibility is that in all likelihood earliest shamans were synaesthetes themselves since you can see how some synaesthetic experiences can easily overlap with shamanistic practises.
[FONT color=#00bfbf]A great example occurred to me yesterday to illustrate my point. I think it's the perfect example:[/FONT]

[FONT color=#00bfbf]Ask any synaesthete, they can tell you what danger smells like. And almost everyone knows what it feels like. [/FONT][FONT color=#00bfbf]It's such a distinct impression that one can not confuse it with anything else. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#00bfbf]And I guess this is as practical as it can get. :)[/FONT]

[span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;"]Dr Ray Stantz:[/span] Listen! Do you smell something?
Makes you question just how many senses you actually have?
All this discussion, plus some of the stuff happening in email led to the opening of a new pathway of perception today.

Raging Poodle, on a completely different subject do you collect exotic mushrooms as a hobby?
[FONT color=#0000bf]Ha ha, sneaky. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]What you're asking is not a different subject, it's completely related because most of what I've been bringing up is related to shamanistic perception, and that's probably how you made the connection. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]As I mentioned I've had nothing to do with drugs of any sort in my life. I neither use them nor collect them. I don't even know much about them. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]However when I read descriptions of people's drug experiences, I think I can emulate their perceptions. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]I'm also somewhat familiar with people's experiences with mescaline. I had no difficulty understanding when I read Carlos Castenada.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]Although the author never mentions drugs, I believe most of what's described in The Celestine Prophecy are at least partially inspired by drug experiences. [/FONT]

Mushrooms aren't drugs!

[/SPAN] Associating air quality with emotions. Is this a form of synaesthesia then? Perhaps it is.
There seems to be a fine line between intuitive perception and synaesthesia. Or perhaps synaesthesia is a form of intuitive perception.
I think viewing it as a subcategory of intuition would be the best approach.
It is difficult to ascertain between the two, sometimes.
This becomes a problem when you are already a highly intuitive person.

Let me know if anyone agrees with this ^ ? Or if it's just me!!! k thx
Of course #5 is Brown.
Because #1 is White
#2 is Yellow
#3 is Red
#4 is Green
So you get to 5, and it's Brown.
Silly. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/1.gif)
