I know of one other person who sees like I do, but other people have learnt different ways of perceiving it. If you have a lean towards hearing rather than seeing, it sometimes sounds like everyone's talking at once, really loudly, with lots of background noise.
Rain Wrote:For the majority of the people, it's unconscious. Ok, so what happens when they regain consciousness? Does this attribute change?
People do what they do. I worked the exact same way before I became aware of what I was doing but now I have more control and can consciously learn new tricks. That's the only difference I've found but others may have different experiences here.

Theoretically, if an energy being began residing within a human body, the fact that they used energy on a fundamental level gives a small edge, whether by experience or the simple desire to know it.
And what I was saying is that humans *do* need to do so in order to survive. Almost every human interaction is based on some form of energy exchange; the ones who are good at it are the ones who are successful. Attracting money, manipulating people, protecting what you have, and lots of other stuff is all affected by the energy we use and what we do with it. I have profound respect for the subconscious because until you become aware of energy, and even after it, your sub conscious is always manipulating the world in your favour, or according to what you believe it should be.
You could say that otherkin, vampires and what have you are
more likely to become aware of energy because they're used to their system functioning slightly (or very) differently. You don't notice the way you walk until you become aware of what you're doing. If nothing happens to draw your attention to it, why would you even think about it?

If we're assuming humans don't have built in instructions on how their energy works, then when it comes to conscious energy work something that has built in knowledge of the particulars of energy manipulation would probably have an edge, especially in versatility having more experiences than "being human". But if the human has been incarnated before then they would just as likely have the edge in knowing what the human energy system could do.
