OK, this will be a woo-oo woo-oo topic that will bring mostly rolled eyes. But I'll raise it anyway. What do you think of the possibilities of knowing or communicating in some way other than overt and physical? I had two examples today that made me wonder. First, in yoga, we did a meditation on sending metta, a sort of compassionate love, and the guidance was to picture someone who's struggling and send them support. So I pictured Elmer (the homeless guy who sometimes does yard work for me). And then later this afternoon, he stopped by to tell me he's entering the county's drug and alcohol abuse program and intends to get clean and go back to voc rehab to get a job. Also, I passed a display of orchid plants in the grocery store and debated buying one for my 85-year-old cousin, thinking her day might need brightening, and thought, well, I'll come back later and get it on the way to see her (and I almost never do go visit--she's usually out playing bridge or taking trips with her pals). Later my sister called to tell me the cousin had fallen and is in a recuperation center. So I guess the rational mind says these are just coincidence, but I'm not totally rational. Sometimes I think we know in some other way.

So how do you explain it?

this made me *smile*

One of the things I have been watching the last couple of years is the drawing together, blending of things that (I think) sort of maxed at the disparate ends.

Things like studies of flow state.. and relationships between creativity and what we've termed bipolar ( a reaction?) or not quite skizoid (empath? something else? it involves an ability to switch or have naturally stronger faster connections between different areas of the brain.)

I want explanations myself. But I am me as I was raised where I was, and that in part was a reaction to befores of explanations based on deities (which I do not discount either.)

made me *smile* in a good way.. btw.

I love these discussions.

Animal brains, too..turtles and birds and fish that can somehow find the same tiny spot of a beach or island, cats and dogs that find their way home over great distances. Clearly they use some kind of directional signals we can't interpret...so we too have senses besides the ones that are accepted as normal.

Glad that was a good smile, but I don't mind looking (or sounding) a little silly, either!

Sorry, not online too often!
Most people have some sort of psychic ability-whether they acknowledge it or not. Its not something that is easy to explain in a few brief sentences (at least, not at 2 in the morning), but most theories seem to be based around the holographic universe/holographic brain concept.

Will have to learn more about that, somwhere.
