Empathic Chain?

I don't know. My explanation would be that everybody is tied int this web of links. Some links are concentrated and some not. Each action one make will cause a vibration in all these links. The concentrated ones vibrate more depending on each individual control. So the person this person is feeling is causing this lengthy vibration to you... from the lack of control.

I don't know. That's my take on it.

That is an interesting term for it. I am going to see if I can explain it in words. For one thing, from my experience with what neveza said, there are kind of a network of mental links and signature's on a basic level. When one person comes in contact with another, that person imprints on the other in the form of leaving a bit of their signature on that person. People who have psychological or emotional bonds to another person, kind of are linked on some level or attuned to that person, therefore, sensing that person could allow one to pick up information from those links and signature's. You can follow the link or impression to another. For example Joe is in love with Suzie, so they have a deep bond with one another. I meet Joe, but I don't know Suzie. I would pick up on the love that he has for Suzie, who I would know as person x or something like that. I could become aware of the bond that Joe has with Suzie, and therefore, pick up on Suzie's love for Joe, or follow the link to Suzie, or follow any other link that Joe and Suzie have to that person, if that makes sense, or if there is no link but an impression, I could just cast my mind out looking for that impression.

Empaths in close relationships mirror each other's empathy, which can cause a nightmare. I experienced this personally with my ex who is empathic and it was a headache. He could sense me sensing him. For example, he would feel anger. I would feel his anger, and respond with an emotion on top of his anger. He picks up on me sensing his anger and then my emotion ontop of it. I then sense him sensing me sensing him sensing me, and it just pin ponged until it became VERY stressful. Some empaths can pick up on physical senses. They aren't really perceiving the physical sense, but they are picking up the mind's interpretation of sense on the mental level, which is why when someone's stomach hurts their stomach may hurt. Physical pain is not actually being transmitted.

Empathy or telepathy are senses that occur purely on the mental level's, which the mind may associate with one of the other five senses or not (depending on the person), therefore, a person could pick that up the same way as the above mentioned, especially of one empath takes that emotion as their own. I pick up a person's depression and take it as my own or feel it directly as my own, so at that time, the emotion, at that time, is mine. Another empath could sense that emotion that I took as my own, thereby, sensing what it is that I sensed, or they could just detect the impressions of someone I came into contact with before, or they could even sense information from an empathic link that I have with someone else, or we could mirror each other.

You could use a disciplined version of it. You could do a deep type of link in which you sense with that person senses, on that level, and therefore pick up what they pick up on that mental level (psychic senses overlap so it can extend to remote viewing, empathy, telepathy, etc. so as long as your own mind can interpret the information). Empathic chains, when used in a disciplined fashion, can serve as an extension of your own senses and can be very useful, or you very very bad. Empathic friend's can shift an overload from one to the other or cause both or more to overload.

I have no idea of how long they can go, but I know it is limited by how much a person's mind can pick up, handle, and interpret at one time.

Excuse the typos, the text when posting this is really really small, so it is hard for me to catch errors (I have bad eyes).
