Electrical energy discharging from one liquid crystal bio-form to be picked up and responded to by another....awareness on another level.
So when you talk about energy you are not talking about energy as it is defined by science. You are talking about some pseudo-magical kind of mind-reading magical ki-transference kind of woooooo!!! kind of energy.
I'm on about the same energy as any scientist talks about chappy, it's all electrical, altered, boosted and diminished either chemically or physically in the human body and beyond.
You keep insisting that I wax lyrical on your childish view and pet fear of (wooooo!) magic, myth and mystery, while ignoring the patently obvious and scientifically accepted view that all bio-forms are liquid crystal structures.
Go read up your first year geo-chemistry to start with then dip into some first year biology and molecular biology (all readings can be found on the net through diligent searching) and then understand how a liquid crystal bio-form works.
Is there any scientific evidence of this liquid crystal magical electrical bio-form energy mind-reading hoo-doo transference?
Or is it perhaps just a romantic notion from parapsychology that sounds kind of interesting in a wooooo!! mystical kind of way?
There's no reliable scientific study done of chi that I'm aware of, although energy transfer from one material form to another is an accepted commonplace event.
Stand close enough to an electrical field and you'll induce an electrical charge from it into your own electrical field. Touch the source and you'll likely get electrocuted if grounded. Induced transfer of electrical energy is now used to re-charge car batteries or to power up lights and other electrical devices.
Years ago the very idea that electricity could transfer the human voice via radio was regarded as charlatanism.
Maybe you believe in creationism or the flat earth theory of universal existence, or conversely, that nothing exists beyond a linear reality based on what you've been told to believe or seen in movies.
Maybe your views of alternative realities are derived from woooo! woooo! movies, they're bizarre enough! You keep using the words woooo! and mystery, mystical and romantic to describe what obviously disturbs you, maybe your insecurities are based on the need for concrete explanations that don't change over time. Does the idea of parallel realities scare you? Do you need to be in control?
I've news for you, ...scientific theory and explanations change,....constantly, over time, nothing is finally "proven", only currently accepted.
Are you able to produce a single scientific study that demonstrates that people can actually tell whether somebody else is looking at them from behind or not?
Not looked yet, probably in some psychology research papers if you look on the net.Recent research re Tai Chi;
A study investigating the effects of Tai Chi Chuan: individuals with traumatic brain injury compared to controls....
Tai Chi was associated with significant improvement on all VAMS, except fatigue(mood score) with decreases in sadness, confusion, anger, tension, fear and increases in energy and happiness.

A Comprehensive Review of Health Benefits of Qigong and Tai Chi
ConclusionsResearch has demonstrated consistent, significant results for a number of health benefits in RCTs, evidencing progress toward recognizing the similarity and equivalence of Qigong and Tai Chi.

Qui gong, reiki, acupuncture, acupressure, Aikido, ki-Aikido and Tai Chi are all based on understanding the harmonious flow of chi (energy/life force) through the body.
Charts and diagrams more than 2,000 years old used by the above practitioners indicate the human nervous and circulatory systems (meridians) with their 'nodes' or pressure points.
Fifty years ago massage, physiotherapy, hypnosis and other alternative healing techniques were completely dismissed by western empirical scientists, but are now part and parcel of modern healing therapies.
Martial arts in the 1940's was not much more than wrestling, until after WW2 when Japanese POW's were forced to teach their American captors their martial arts techniques of karate, aikido and judo, all scientifically based on the human anatomy and its natural functions.
The inherent energy of (in this case) a human is directed along the easiest path through the body to improve harmonious well being of a person in pain or ill health, or can be diverted, impeded or re-directed to create maximum discomfort to one's opponent in martial contest.
After the early 1950s western military hand to hand combat took a leap forward, incorporating the principles indicated by Tai Chi and by extension other Japanese martial arts, which were quickly taken up by western martial artists.
A form of Aikido is now used by both police and military forces, all based on early Chinese observations of the flow and function of Chi in the human body.
Yes sometimes someone will catch you in the periphery of their vision or turn and look at you only to find that you are looking at them. Then you are momentarily caught in each other's gaze. This is momentarily uncomfortable since each of you knows that you are pondering the other's gaze wondering about the other's intention and then one of you looks away.
No peripheral vision is necessarily involved in that I've described, the person or animal being focused on usually has their back to you, or is not aware of your presence and intention.
When stalking game, for instance, even when down wind from the quarry, the animal can sense the hunter's presence and will turn to look, but if nothing is seen or smelled or heard, it will continue grazing or moving or rest at ease.
The momentary discomfort of being caught in another's gaze is not the magical transference of ki or kirlian coronal energy; it is simply the natural discomfort of being caught in the gaze of another creature.
The discomfort you allude to occurs before you see who's fixing their attention on you.
Your reaction and discomfort is the result of an evolutionary process. Hundreds of thousands of years of predatory experience has taught us that being the object of attention of a stranger or another creature is something to be mildly concerned about since other creatures are self-interested agents. If they are measuring you up then it is possible that they are doing so with the idea of interaction to their benefit which may involve eating, cheating, fighting or fucking you. That is why you feel the fleeting shiver of discomfort.
You deliberately avoided the point I made, that awareness of another's surreptitious interest in one occurs before turning to look in their direction.
It has nothing to do with peripheral vision.
It's not a fleeting shiver of discomfort, but a full on awareness that one's an object of interest for one reason or another.
Some call it the sixth sense, intuition.
Trying to explain the phenomenon (which you accept as a reality) away as just an evolutionary process is a little simplistic. Of course it's an evolved process.
Your
colourful magical ki coronal quantum rainbow energy beams might be another more imaginative explanation but Occam's razor says that the burden of proof is on you.
Man, what a load of guff!! All that is only in your mind. I have no magical theory to offer.
Ki has nothing to do with magic, and your concept of it is deluded, totally.
Remember, you're just a liquid crystal, and all your thoughts, theories, beliefs and words are simply transfers of electrical energy.
