Reading too much into things is a trap I've fallen into many times, rather than thinking I had some supernatural ability to read people's minds I believe I possessed such insight and intuition that could deduce what they were thinking, maybe not their exact thoughts but that I could see things with more objectivity than the object of my study could see for themselves.

I'm inclined to agree. Here's how it seems to me:
The "reading minds" idea stems from people wanting to empathize or look into the life of another person. They dream up ideas (about someone else's thoughts or future) because they spend more time thinking about what they think other people are thinking about than self-centered thought (which could lead to schizophrenia). Such attention to another person allows them to identify routines and patterns in some else's activity subconsciously so that they are aware (though can't describe how they know) when someone steps out of their routine. This might be beneficial for some relationships, especially where the target person is at a state in life where they don't change much, but it can also lead to being very presumptuous. Then there's the idea of simply studying human behavior and predicting what people will do based on their age, personality type, and life circumstances. It's not like we're the first to go through these things.

I've read that certain drugs tend to stimulate common parts of the mind as things like meditation, but so do things like love and other human interaction, but rather than disabling the mind in certain ways (as drugs tend to do), meditation can enhance it, allowing the rational side to work in tandem with the emotional side, making for an enhanced emotional experience. That's not to say the ideas people get are always... um... rational. Just that meditation can be enjoyable.
INTPs would be very good at meditation, but we'd rather just daydream and we don't hone-in on our daydreams with all our mental energy.

The person lives in Jamaica is 39 years old and is a guest interview on dozens of radio shows. I left a comment of one of his videos and the next show his energy level dropped to become more reflective on episode 8 and 9. Indirectly he mentions some things I said on my old channel. After that, I made no comments because I was still sorting out my life problems. My state of mind was very confused and I was studying religious stuff and preceding any comment he made on the shows I listened to was all my thoughts mixed together. 3 or 4 things stood out each show because I had those exact ideas in my head. It was like the indirect reference to my videos in his videos but instead of videos, it was like he was making indirect references to my state of mind. When I went to the hospital and a few weeks later he said: "after getting into it you can see just how far/deep the Christ myth goes". I had a lucid dream where my orange chakra was opening up as a spiral of glowing light energy, and He was there, I was talking to him. A few weeks later he said that people should not be contacting him just because he was in their dream.

Other weird things happened that I do not think could have been the result of information about me being on the internet. The difficulty in making those inferences would be too high. 63 thousand people are subscribed to his channel. I would not think he investigates every single person that comments. I could be different but that would be because of my ability to understand esoteric things most people can't, even those that say they are into it. He felt that he was on a mission, and I was the reason he slowed down. Different priorities now exist.

When so many people vying for your attention you cannot specifically say the name of a person when speaking to them. And also you are speaking to more than one person, this means your message has several people in mind. When something just pops out and I understand it / relate to it, It resets what I was thinking and I try applying it to my own processes.

I look through an esoteric lens. And I try to see the hidden things. This is just me as a Ni type.
