This is all more surprising since McAllister is blind! He lost his sight when he was 12, result of a degenerative eye disease. But he never lost his synesthesia.

Are we all born with joined sensation?

Though scientists can prove synesthesia exists physiologically, they still don't know what causes it. Some researchers think cross-wiring in brain produces phenomenon. Another theory is that everyone is born with synesthesia-that we, as infants, experience world as a jumble of interwoven sensations. Then, as most of us mature, our physical senses slowly become distinct and sharply defined, like images being brought into focus by a camera lens. With synesthetes this doesn' t happen.

For some, synesthetic perceptions seem to exist outside body. Carrie Schultz describes how she sees electric guitar riffs in purple swirls that envelop her.

For others, awareness is internal, in their "mind's eye." When Glenda Larcombe hears a truck backing up--making a beep- beep-beep sound--she sees beeps as a series of red dots. The mingling of senses is often difficult for synesthetes to describe. Larcombe, for instance, said red dots she sees when she hears beeping are not part of her actual vision. "It's not like I would see a red dot right in front of me-it's in my mind's eye" she says in an interview. She also reports feeling her interviewer's voice, "like a wave, like water, with yellow and orange."

Ex-journalist, Page Getz says "God is blue." She describes headache pain as a kind of greenish-orange, music by rock group Nirvana as having taste or sensation of Dr Pepper, and color after sex as static silver. She quit her job as a journalist because her editors' word changes often disrupted what she saw as a sentence's natural chromatic progression.

Everyone's got blended senses to a degree

Psychologist Carol Mills says this sensory-blending ability might be a normal part of all adult brains. "It may go on in all of us even if we don't have synesthesia," said Mills. "For example, if I give you a very high-pitched note and a series of colors and ask you to match one, you are going to pick a light color. If I give you a low bass note, you are probably going to pick a dark color. The difference is when a synesthete hears a low note, they see dark. When they hear a high note, they see a light color."

No firm figures exist for how common synesthesia is. The best estimates range from 1 in 200 to 1 in 20,000.

Spoon bending by osmosis

In '70's, Uri Geller could bend metal object just by looking at them, which was substantiated by scientists at Stanford University Research Institute. Demonstrating his psychic power on TV all over Europe, Geller once asked people to place knives, spoons and forks in front of their television sets. With millions of witnesses, Geller bent tableware in studio before their eyes on TV-and he bent tableware in homes of Europeans watching show. This single act had an interesting side effect. From phone calls after show, it was discovered that over 1,500 children were able to absorb same spoon bending ability just by watching it happen one time on TV!

New Children here to wake us up

The "New Children" have come to Earth with a clear purpose. These kids know who they are and why they are here. They carry a new vibration and have come to transform consciousness of humanity. They are here to vibrate an energy of peace and love for Earth. As they vibrate and visualize light in places that are dark, they are changing Human Consciousness. Their energy provides a fresh, innocent, powerful perspective and tone for people who are searching for new, more viable solutions to society's problems and challenges.

Kids remember past lives

The University of Virginia has been doing studies on children who remember past lives. These children say things like: "I have another daddy", "When I was big, I used to have a car", "That happened before I was in mommy's tummy." Just like their counterparts around world, some of these children can see into future and move objects with their focused intention.

Near-death experiences awaken powers

P.M.H. Atwater, author of Children of New Millennium, writes about after affects of children who have near-death experiences. These children foretell future, possess heightened sensory and empathic abilities, have no fear of death, and see and talk to people who have died. Atwater is not alone in her feeling that these children are beginnings of a new race of people on Earth.

Worldwide telepathic children's network

James Twyman, author of Emissary of Love: The Psychic Children Speak to World, shares profound telepathic communications with many psychic children. One kid, Thomas, talks about a worldwide network of psychic children who remember their "soul purpose"-which is to teach people how to bring love and peace to world. These telepathic children are technologically oriented while at same time highly intuitive and creative. They are confident, strong and non-attached-with quick, sharp minds.

"New Children" are smart

Newsweek magazine reports that rise in IQ scores throughout developed world "is so sharp that it implies that average school child today is as bright as near-geniuses of yesteryear." One ability that especially stands out is kids' rise in "non-verbal intelligence"-the ability to know or intuit information. The "new children" are natural "creative problem solvers."

Medical researchers at UCLA are discovering some youngsters with a unique DNA pattern no one else has-they have 24 active DNA codons. People normally have only 20 active codons. These children have a remarkable resistance to illness and seem to be immune to every disease.
