    I know that Deanna Troi is supposed to be an empath, but in
    her case does it include inducing emotions (e.g. a calming
    effect) in others as well as reading the emotions of others?

    I ask that since I think that the Old Testament Daniel had
    the ability to induce emotions (e.g. a calming and loving
    effect on the lion) as well as read emotions.

    With that in mind the following post may be of interest:

    Daniel's primary siddhi was empath special ability

    As I have posted before, primary ootws (Openers of the Way,
    who I previously called avatar types) all share some common
    special abilities, but each has a unique primary siddhi.

    Some primary siddhis I (mostly) posted before are:

    Rama -- language special ability
    Krishna and David -- music special ability
    Jacob -- green thumb and animal husbandry
    Moses -- sibyl special ability=the ability to communicate with the
    Earth and earthlike planets and moons in the near region of the
    galaxy, which enabled him to predict an earthquake and the
    related tsunami in the Red Sea.
    Buddha -- hypnosis special ability
    Jesus -- healer special ability
    Glooskap and Amergin -- weatherworking
    Taliesin, Heracles, and the Havamal composer -- poetry special ability.
    me -- matchmaking special ability

    But what about Daniel and his ability to safely go into the
    lion’s den? Did he also have animal husbandry special
    ability? No, I divine that he had empath special ability,
    like the character Deanna Troi in Star Trek TNG.

    Oops, I forgot:

    Mohammed -- regular diviner special ability, which includes a
    wide array of subset divination abilities, including the
    ability to go into trance and divine material, though I don’t
    call it channelling. This ability is also held by e.g. the
    Dalai Lama’s Oracle, Kuten-la, plus the female Tibetan
    Buddhist Oracle, Khadro-la, has it at 1/3 strength as part
    of her wide range magickal special ability.

    One living person I know of with empath special ability
    is OBOD druid and psychologist Philip Carr-Gomm.

    Where did I get the term sibyl? More from Joan D. Vinge’s
    SF novels The Snow Queen and The Summer Queen
    than from historical/classical/dictionary sources, plus
    I don’t restrict it to women. One living person who I
    have divined has the ability is “Venus as a boy” of alt.support.schizophrenia, who thus might be able
    to predict some earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

    Switching topics slightly, I have a theory about Budda, Jesus and
    Mohammad and your mentioning Star Trek gives me a chance to put it out
    there.

    It seems to me that Budda was arround about 600 B.C., Jesus was around
    about 0 B.C. and Mohammad was around at about 600 A.D.

    Could all three be from the same advanced ET Species that sent a
    representative here who arrived at 600 B.C. ... then ET went back home.
    Then 'they'/'it' made another visit at 0 B.C. ... then ET went back
    home, again, and returned at about 600 A,D.

    Now, if I can shoot my one theory down, one would, reasonable, expect
    some alien Species would have made some advances between one round trip
    and the next so the trips would be quicker .... but, maybe, they were
    busy elsewhere in the Galaxy/Universe!! ;-P
