OK, so i was sitting in my living room very relaxed while my sister was playing the wii, and she got a strike she was all happy and bouncing around, and in my head i was thinking I cant remember a time i was that exited wish i could feel that again and so my heart started racing and i started feeling happy, no exited and overjoyed. Could i have read her emotions or was my sub-c just making me feel that way? i don't know could someone maybe tell me, like give me observations?

Thanks

It's not impossible to mimic someones behavior, so I don't see how this is automatically empathy. You wanted to feel something similar to what they were feeling, so the best thing you could come up with is your own feelings of happiness. Have you ever felt that happy like you did at that moment in your life?

Well, yea like when i get a Christmas present i really wanted. So i guess i have felt those feelings before.

Try the same thing again, but by yourself. Also make sure that you agree with your sub-conscious that you will not mimic someones emotions.

I don't think you performed empathy.  You remembered what it felt like, and your mind made you feel it again.  Just think of something pleasurable like that and you'll feel it, if it's strong enough.

I think that your sister is a very persuasive person and actually persuaded you to be happy. That's how I can control people to do stuff for me. I don't think that it is empathy though. Empathy is when you know the feeling of the person but not feeling the same way as the person and not mimicking the feeling of that certain person. It's like the time when I was Making fun of the person and he got mad but he actually likes being teased because of some dark past. He likes the attention.

ok the basis of empathy or telepathy is actually to receive energies from people around you.
sometimes the energies can be felt so fast, especially in a disclosed area with few people.
your experience could be normal, because you were reminding yourself about the last time you felt joy.

but in case you are still wondering, perform an experiment. try getting someone to feel an emotion strong enough for you to react and feel it too, the same way you did with your sister. it can be anger or sadness, or happiness. but you need to focus and try not to have much thoughts in your head.

if you dont feel anything, its most probably not empathy. if it is, conduct further experiments to validate what you are experiencing. alrite? (:

And to send. The common basis for both of them is to manipulate energy. The energy is just programmed in a different manner. But to some sense, yes the basic idea is to receive and send programmed energy.
