To synergy: Yes staring into ones eyes really is the answer. It is a gateway into their consciousness. With my telempathic experience I felt some very similar things. It created a tunnel vision so strong that all i could see was the person and everything around him was like a bright white and bluish light, I looked into his eyes and I saw his face start to change into an old mans, another lifetime of his, then I saw a younger Hispanic man then his face changed into mine and thats when tears started running down his face. The same happened to me and i really can't explain what i felt other than it was crazy.
And it was a mash up of our emotions colliding and meshing with eachothers, we knew what we were thinking but it was beyond words, Aw were communicating on a soul level with emotions and I just knew things about him that i felt like I was given a gift to see gods perspective of him but on the other side, I was given a great deal of responsiblility for being able to do that. I know I'm the healer type, so I could never hurt someone like that, let alone a friend. It's like knowing their pain and all the bad things they've done to a point where you just feel it strongly and forgive the person completely, and just love the person unconditionally. I felt like crying from his pain as if it were mine and he did the same for mine. It was just like we were one person. Although there were tears, it was a powerful and healing experience. We truly are part of the same mind. I carry this awareness with me and make people realize their innate spiritual gifts sober or high
