My thougts are transmitted for real

[Thermal]

I read some law books on employment law a few years ago, which is why I know it is an offence to abuse a mentally ill person and negligence is an offence if employers do not fulfill a duty of care. I will have to go to the library to find out if there is a statute of limitations on those offences.


I never said I was presenting any objective evidence, all I have is my own logic.

Then please don't waste your time trying to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations has all but certainly passed, you have no evidence to support your claim, and it would likely fail on the merits anyway. A complaint of abuse resulting from harboring psychic agitators in collusion with the police would require some impressive evidence.

Talk with your doctor about all this, and be well.

I recall a snippet of conversation about me that came from the office and a girl said of me concerning the telepathy " I know it's happening, why doesn't he?" The psychic girl said,
" I was brought up to believe in it"

Are you sure the 'it' being discussed was telepathy?

But even if it was, so what? Lots of people are brought up to believe in all sorts of nonsense. The fact that these silly girls believed in telepathy does not mean that anyone was actually hearing your thoughts.

I can't remember any more of the conversation, but I did think it was about the telepathic war that seemed to be going on.

That's my point. She left the psychological war zone because she couldn't deal with it. Then she tried to pacify me by stating the other girls talked about me.

She will not want to talk to me, but if an official from the police complaints authority asks her about what happened she may tell the truth.

Sheesh. Office gossip is nothing new and certainly not exclusively yours or about you. You have claimed to be paranoid. That is a paranoid claim without any actual evidence. Furthermore, you have claimed that people were scared of you in your place of employ. Does it not occur to you that perhaps your behaviours were actually scary at the time 25 years ago IIRC?

The whole office was colluding in supporting the psychic girl and not telling me anything.
I on my part was desperately struggling to get a handle on it, knowing full well that a symptom of schizophrenia is you think you are broadcasting your thoughts.

If you are aware that you were diagnosed at the time with schizophrenia, and you know that the idea that people reading your mind is a common symptom of schizophrenia, why on earth have you ignored the obvious conclusion?

My thoughts were scary, because I was raging inside, and if I could have killed the office staff with mental daggers they would have been dead. But outwardly all I remember doing was sitting at my work bench working as hard as I could. Right up until my stress level went through the roof and I had heart pains several times a day and my hands were covered with nervous rashes, and what finally finished me was I could no longer concentrate on the job. All I could do was listen to the girls in the office taking the piss out of me.
When you can't concentrate you can't solve electronic problems so I finally had to get up and walk out. That was the only time I ever mentioned what was happening outwardly and I said "I know you have been using suggestion on me and there is nothing I can do but get out" The workshop manager said "Just go home".

Because logically I could not have known the five facts the girl told me, and that remains the basis of my certainty that some of it was telepathy. Besides, I was there. I experienced this for 18 months at the job, and in that amount of time they made mistakes. Some of which I have explained in previous posts.
I know the trainee manager told people to talk about me because he did it in my face once.

It is not logical. This entire thread has been an unraveling.

I really don't get this part- if you did not know the five facts, there was no telepathy involved. You were not broadcasting them, and therefore she could not read them. Why do you think this is evidence of telepathy?

He seems to think that the office worker was invading his mind with her thoughts.

I have already described the details of the five facts I was told. The office girl spoke about what I was doing and as far as I am concerned the only way she could have known what I was doing from one second to the next was she was reading my thoughts.

Never mind that, I have explained it enough already.

Tell me how a voice in my head could tell me I was going to win on the lottery an hour before I did win. I won five numbers which was just enough to buy my first internet ready computer. As far as I am concerned the spirit world helped me pick the numbers earlier in the week. I felt a presence when I picked the numbers. But they only gave me five because a big win would be more karmic. You cannot cheat the lottery using the occult without consequences.

Man ! I have been holding it together since 1969 when I first started hearing voices in my ears. I am harder than a nail beaten into the doors of hell, and I am not going to unravel any time soon.

Yes, but he says the five facts he did not know are the basis for his certainty that it was telepathic. The five facts are things he did not know, so at best irrelevant to mind-reading. I asked earlier about this, and he said it was the use of the phrase 'HE THINKS' that convinced him, but this is just a common expression.

I think you are doing quite well, but the nature of your condition denies you the ability to assess yourself.

I don't see a way around this, other than to encourage you to speak with the handful of posters here who identify with similar mental diseases.

I don't like any tone of opprobrium towards you. I may be guilty of it myself for I am fallible. I only wish you the best — peace of mind and quality of life.

Yea ! But 'HE THINKS' came moments after I was thinking exactly what she said I was thinking. This happened several times. I already said I checked for cameras and saw no surveillance anywhere.

I don't think reasoning or logic have anything to do with this. A disability cannot become an ability through discourse. Not this time.

ER ! you wouldn't be talking about me would you. Maybe I imagined it.

No ! I can read it in black and white. If only the psychic were that easy to see.

An anecdote: I recall once having an HVAC tech servicing a heating unit in the basement of a house I was remodeling. I was already confident that the problem was a bad flame sensor. I went back up to a floor above him in the kitchen. A little later I heard thumping/banging on the outside of the house, and thought 'oh, he thinks the problem is a vent obstruction'. Do you see how this sounds remarkably similar to your experience, but evidences no telepathy at all?

Oh ! come on. I had never encountered that part being broken before, and I certainly had no reason to think it was out of stock.

I still maintain that the girl told me two facts I did not know on that occasion, and two facts about a circuit board on another occasion. Then there is the time she told me what I though was a pressure switch was a vacuum switch. I had never encountered a vacuum switch and did not know they existed until her voice wafting through the open office door informed me of the fact.

That is five absolute facts I was told. That is how I know I was not just going mad.

It's a part that could break. Perfectly plausible that you were guessing at something unusual because either nothing obvious was broken or just because that's what wandering minds do.

Also entirely plausible is that you had at some point heard of a vacuum switch and simply don't remember learning of it.

Seems like you're honing in on the seemingly eerie things when you know full well that this is a very small number of hits from what must have been an uncountable number of misses. That's not as impressive as you think it is, even assuming that your, at the time, addled mind allows for proper recall here.

I remember exactly what happened because I may be a loony but I am not an idiot. I went to the shelf for incoming jobs and saw a new looking gas analyzer. It was about the size of a microwave oven and I picked it up thinking this will be an easy job. I took it to my desk and put it down, and at that exact moment the girls voice from the office said. "He thinks he can fix that easily but he can't because the inlet pipe is broken and they are out of stock". At that point I had not seen the back of the item so I tipped it forward and looked and sure enough the inlet pipe was broken. I realized she had told me something I did not know by telepathy and she also told me the part was out of stock, and I did not know that either. That's two absolutely accurate facts I was told and all you people can tell me that's not logical but I know it is.

Also entirely plausible is that you had at some point heard of a vacuum switch and simply don't remember learning of it..

Nope, I was perplexed why the switch did not work and I am certain I had never heard of a vacuum switch at that time.

I remember these things because I was told facts, although I heard the girls prattling on about me a lot.

Facts, facts, facts. Not delusions.
