Finding the Impossible

There’s something going on. Can you feel it? Between the persistent but frustrating noise about “Disclosure,” and the presence of unusual and seemingly-haunted houses and places in our immediate landscape, it is increasingly evident to an ever-more-sensitive public that the paranormal is all around us. We are not lacking for clues and strange creatures and episodes to help us glean this emerging truth, such as stories of religious miracles, the strange absence of sound in the forest during some encounters, time distortions and disruption, anomalous entities including aliens, ghosts and Bigfoot, dreams, childhood magic, traditionally sacred animals such as owls, crows, foxes, rabbits and wolves, spirits in the land and sea and sky, the human desire to believe in the unseen, and our own rich mythology & folklore. One conclusion: we are surrounded by the impossible—and we may be paranormal ourselves and actually doing part of this, and even responsible for at least 50% of the oddity in the world. Our perception changes and molds reality, and we can bring things into existence as well as vanishing them like stage magic. It is speculated that consciousness existed for some 100 million years before incarnating in human form, reminding us of Schrödinger's famous statement “The total number of minds in the universe is one.” As it turns out reality is a considerably more complicated than it is comfortable to contemplate. Our own consciousness is arguably the most powerful force we will ever encounter in our lifetime, and by its very nature it is inextricably linked to everything we can perceive and every moment of our lives. Every day when you go forth you have the chance to see what is there in front of you, and to begin to glimpse what cannot be seen, the implied meanings hidden between shafts of sunlight and rafts of facts, as well as the context and history of a given location, and the vibrations that can be gleaned with the right perceptional tuning. The only limitation on us that we can discern is ourselves, so we should be able to find the impossible, with a little looking—and that includes finding it today, and every day.
