Daniel, Thank you for your comment. I think it is "ESP." Now I know what you are going to say, but think about it. Why are we are so comfortable with some things and some people and yet not with others. “I have a bad feeling about …” "People have a feeling," and get off a boat or plane that will be destroyed. A tribe in Southeast Asia doesn't have tools for cutting down trees. What do they do? They walk around the tree cursing it. It dies, they cart it away. A mother "knows" her child is in trouble or has died.
I think that we have a natural communication device within ourselves that warns us of danger or assures us of safety and it is that sub-conscious communication that assists the smooth flow in a society - like Japan. It is my supposition, obviously yet to be proven, that as we grow in the womb our brain "mind" becomes inherently conditioned to the level of conscious and sub-conscious "vibes" of the surrounding society through “psychic” osmosis much the same way we absorb nutrients physically. This is, in a sense, a combination of absorbing the specie instinct as David Hume might suggest along with the “current status” as might be loosely described by Jung as a psychic unconscious. Even, if I dare say it, Socrates "universal I" a connection to each other that make my care of you more than just good for me or you but necessary for all our internal "psychic" communal well being. The general happiness and contentment that then produces new babies who are healthier and more self-assured.
We become in tune with our environment much like we prepare a computer by downloading programs from another computer. Knowledge (the actual files) is not passed but the innate comfort to accept what we learn after being born. The image is within us but the form must be acquired anew with each birth. Maybe that is why people believe in re-incarnation, babies sometimes born with a better tuned capacity to “gel” with a like personality through a psychic connection. Not an old “soul” being reborn.

And perhaps more importantly: How do they live - with each other?
