Do you believe in the supernatural?
In order to answer this question we have to
first understand what is the natural.
How do we experience anything subjective at
all?
Even though we know we exist in our bodies,
when we look inside the body, we donÕt find
an inner self Ð the so-called soul.
So who is the ÔmeÕ who knows that it knows
that it knows?
How can we even begin to ask the question
regarding so-called out of body experiences
when actually we have no idea how we even
have an in-body experience?
There seems to be no one there.
The mystery is somewhat solved once we realize
that we are not in the body, but that the
body is in us.
The world we experience Ð all of it, the
universe, the mind, the body Ð arise and
subside in our inner most being.
That inner most being experiences itself as
an observer in space and also in time.
Since the non-local is a domain where all
is instantly connected and correlated, including
past, present, and future, but also a domain
where all locations in space are also instantly
correlated, this is the realm of the so-called
paranormal Ð instant communication or telepathy,
extra sensory perception, clairvoyance, clairaudience,
perceptual experience of the past, prophecy,
visitation by ghosts, angels, divine entities,
diabolical beings.
If we realize that both the normal and the
so-called supernormal are projections of our
own consciousness, they become equally explicable
or perhaps equally inexplicable.
Imagine a beautiful red sunset atop a mountain.
You know, there is no picture of a sunset
in your brain, but you experience the image.
And when you look out of your window and see
New York City, only chemicals are generated
inside of your brain.
You donÕt experience photons, electricity
or chemicals Ð you create that experience.
So too you create the world, and all its possible
forms exist in consciousness in the most fundamental
ground of your being.
That is who you really are.
If you find yourself, you wonÕt make a distinction
between the normal and the paranormal, because
all that exists is conceived, constructed,
created, governed, and comes into manifestation
in your own being.
