Paranormal Capabilities and Realities . . . Do they exist?  . . . What do you think?

Normal is boring but it works for so many. George walks the middle way way. And if you can't be normal......pretend to be normal, act normal. Be cool, play the fool.

I don't think people have to deny their uniqueness . . . it is like observing moderation in everything including moderation . . . when being different is important . . . by all means be different . . . I am talking more about an internal peace . . . everyone needs a certain amount of peace and solitude to function optimally . . . that is all . . . also, finding others to share and communicate with is also very important . . . a network of like minded people . . .

I think depending on just how unique they are it is wise and appropriate to act normal.

If someone wants to find some peace and happiness along the way I would have to agree . . .

Ah, that is a vast question, George. It's not like you asked me, "how's the weather?"

I'll tackle it, and hope that your question is what I think it is, rather than the minimalist question it appears to be on the surface...

When I died, I walked with the Great Universal Intelligence that created and sustains everything. Therefor, I cannot answer your question without that fact involved in the reply.

That which created everything prefers life. It is biased towards life. It is biased towards creation. Ultimately, everything that you see has a basic inherent sentience. You cannot consume without taking in sentience on a spiritual level. I was shown this while I was dead and walking within that which created everything.

Let me make a simple example. Sound is physical. When music plays, the sound is all around us. It's in the air, in our bodies, though us and around us and above and below us.

It permeates not only us, but also the walls, the floor, everything. It penetrates, permeates, and becomes part of it. That is sound, something that few people view as physical. They think of it as 'sound', a thing outside of the physical, because it can penetrate without leaving a hole or needing a hole, thus they don't think of it as a thing with substance.

In much the same way, intelligence permeates us. It penetrates us, it is both all around us, and yet through us, and also part of us. Like music.

What causes a tree to grow? From something utterly unrecognizable as a tree, a mere seed, comes a towering oak or a mighty poplar. This is the basic creative intelligence that permeates everything like music.

Within this intelligence, this love that has weight, volume, substance... we live and have our being. As much as it penetrates us, we penetrate it.

Did you know that a platypus literally has an EXTRA sense? A sixth sense in the most literal meaning. It can sense electrical impulses. It does not feel them, does not hear them, does not smell them, does not taste them, does not see them. It has a specialized sense.

Anyone with the extra sensory organ could do what the platypus does. There is something either in my brain, or in my electrical system, that allows for this 'extra' sense. I have some sort of as-yet unrecognized sensory organ (be it electrical or physical in nature, I can not be certain, but I believe it to be electrical) that allows for the recognition of what is around us at all times.

My limitation of 5 senses is the filter through which I must understand this additional 'intelligence' sense. I must 'hear' it and 'see' it and 'smell' it, etc. For that is what my brain is equipped to understand.

So when the 'music' of the intelligence of the Universe plays around us, some of us are able to 'tune in' like a radio frequency. But we filter that 'frequency' into what we and others understand: the 5 senses.

What did I tune into in order to communicate with the cat? Is the cat's spirit 'real'? Are animals sentient (spiritually speaking)?

I tuned into the cat's spirit. Her part of the Great Intelligence... that part of the great infinite song that she sings. She is the oboe and another is the cello. If you listen closely to music, you can find a certain instrument and focus on it. Some can do this well, some poorly, some cannot because they don't know enough about music.

I happen to be able to tune into this 'universal intelligence' sometimes. I'm better at it than others, I suppose you could say. The cat's part in the great song did a solo for me, you could say. Then the music swelled again and her voice returned to the great song of the universe.

We are all infinitely linked to that song. We are all, spiritually speaking, sentient. The cat as much as the man. The stone as much as the woman. If the great universal intelligence was an orchestra, the stone with be the double bass. Long, low, and slow. Because they sit and do nothing, we think them unthinking and mindless. Because we attribute only what we can sense with 5 very limited and narrow senses to reality.

Yet just beyond that is so much more than we can ever imagine or guess at. While I traveled with 'god' while dead, I learned that there are colors we have no names for. Think about this; we have THREE color cones/rods in our eyes. THREE! That's it. We are literally limited to the ability to see only within that range. But when you're dead, there are colors far beyond our limits.

We KNOW FOR A FACT that there are sounds far beyond our human limits. We'll never hear them. We can at best hear representations of them.

Some people, like me, have almost supernatural hearing. My hearing and my sense of smell are excessively acute.

And so it is with those who can sense that extra layer of reality. That music/ art/ scent/ flavor/ silken gauze of the Universe that can't be experienced by the limitations of 3 rods/cones, a few thousand nerves, etc.

The cat's alive in the least literal sense of the word. Her 'soul' or 'spirit' or 'song' will exist forever as part of that unseen, unheard whole. It can be accessed by those rare people who have that other sense. Like the platypus, only slightly different. It is a spiritual sensory organ, not a physical one.

Well written . . . Question. . . we can measure sounds . . . even the ones we cannot hear . . . we can measure the light in the infrared and ultraviolet range and x-rays, etc. . . do you think the music you are talking about will ever be measured, recorded or analyzed?

No, not really, I think. For example, you can't measure the wind, or gravity. Not truly. You can only measure the EFFECTS of each.

Photos of ghosts, paranormal phenomenon... effects.

Someday we will almost surely measure the effects of it in a small degree. But like the wind or gravity, never measure it, itself.

If that makes sense, struggling to make it clear.

I would say it would depend on the scientist. Intuition and acedemics unite!

I was reviewing your list and I like the bilocation one. I think if this is possible that it is very rare. There were stories of a man from India, probably a yogi of sorts, He was able to be in 2 places at once. I think he was a spiritual teacher in India.


Sathya Sai Baba (23 November 1926 – 24 April 2011)

Throughout his life, Sai Baba with his supposed powers of conjuring, bilocation, levitation, teleportation faced intense scrutiny from rationalists who were convinced that the guru was pulling a con job on his credulous followers.


Now for the Shirley Mclaine blog.
you know...

i might even just have the wrong word here...

maybe it is naught bilocate...

maybe it is transmigrate... or teleportation...

or some other word i do naught even know yet :-O

think "star trek"

when they step up on the transporter pods
and then dematerialize (unfold their geometry)
and are teleported to some other destination where
they rematerialize (fold their geometry) into that time/space...

now think "halo"


lol...

love
though

This makes me think that we won't be getting into outerspace until it is normal for enough people to be able to have these advanced states of awarenesses. It is like the people who know and the "scientists." are living on different sides of the planet.

These GIFTS are normal to have, and seem to run in families. The females in my family have many of the gifts listed, and a few males were born having several of them.

One thing is for sure . . . People who rely on the scientific method to prove existence will have to wait a long time before they have enough data. . . as I tell many of my skeptical friends . . . They will be dead three days before they collect enough empirical data to prove to themselves they are indeed DEAD!!!!

Why do you think that is??? . . .

Ya gotta love bilocation.

Sounds like a way to form a split personality. . . .

Where's the "I know how to do 3 of the below" option?

LOL...I've seen it in my family, and several others. All of my family are Native American, and the other families have Native American in their bloodline as well. And, NO, I am NOT saying only Native Americans have many of these gifts, I just see it more. Maybe it is because we do not think of it as strange, or evil. And as children we are taught to embrace our gifts.

That would be number 3. . . .

"3) Three or less of the items below exist"

I have heard that from other people . . . I have also heard it is true of people from Celtic origins . . . doubt if there has been any scientific testing or investigation but seems to be what is discussed . . .

Really? Sounds interesting.

If we are to assume people are basically the same genetically then the reasons are primarily cultural as you indicated above . . . why women . . . maybe it is the same reason . . . women are allowed to be more in touch with their emotions, intuition and feelings unlike most males who are taught at an early age to suppress or ignore feelings and just rub dirt on it and go on . . .

Past lives regression . . .

That is very true! I taught my sons that emotions are part of us, express them if you need to. The saying "Real men don't cry" is foolish. A real man knows how to cry, and NOT keep things hidden down deep to the point it clouds his soul. Women are allowed to nurture, and show emotion w/o shame it is true. We also are intouch with the Earth, and feel her pain. Mother Earth speaks to ALL humanity...just some do not understand her.

Curious, how were you taught about Mother Earth . . . oral tradition, songs, chants, from mother and father to child? Grandparents? Others?

Past lives by Jerry Springer? Bad

Don't trust Jerry? I guess that was a stretch . . . he is not very believable is he . . .

I found one.

All the above. I feel that you must respect her as you respect yourself. I try my best to never do harm to her, and to be thankful of the gifts she gives. Without our Earth Mother...would any of us be here? She is within us as we are within her!

China insists that religious law requires that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation be born in a Tibetan area under Chinese control. However, the Dalai Lama has said his successor will be born in exile and has even floated the idea of choosing his own successor while still alive – perhaps even a woman.

In his statement Saturday, he said if the institution of the Dalai Lama were to continue, then he would leave behind "clear written instructions about it."
