That is good X, But I go to bed early, relatively speaking, and get up early.. But what I wanted to write about, is how some people land on the same idea, at the same time.. Whether it is starting a new subject for conversation at a party, and someone says, "you read my mind" or in larger sense where a person lands on the same idea at the same time.. as shown by lawsuits, etc, over ideas, patent suits between startup companies, etc.... From my POV in the larger sense, for an example.. it was exploring a whole new area, remote, for gold of course, in an area that I first visited, but I staked a few claims over a good showing immediately. Just in time it turns out because, I find a major company just moving in to the area, as I come back to my camp, led by a guy I know and respected.. And he mentioned this idea to me first, "All at once we come up with the same idea, simultaneously, it seems".... We had no connection, we were competitors, working very independently, with me at a big disadvantage, being on my own.... But being what I am.. I thought about this a lot.... Is there some specialized signals sent out? that only the subliminal can capture.. Are some people more perceptive ? I don't know.. Is it intuition for the moment? Can I make myself more open to this?.. I know I have observed, read, heard, that a conversation comes to a complete halt every seven minutes or so, a lull where there is only silence and then it gets going as if nothing happened.... Are many of our overt actions, conversation, thought processes, guided, etc.. I don't know.. BTW, I made a few bucks off that exploration venture.. Just wondering, because I have a new idea :) m
