RE: Esoterica, Magic, and other Unknown or perhaps Occulted concepts...

in #philosophy8 years ago

Yes there is definitely a great deal of that. I have actually ruled out most experiences I had as stuff like that. I throw it out. The ones that remain are ones where I ended up learning something I couldn't possibly know and then years later finding about it. One audio recording, and the other was second hand but my friend described seeing something neither of us would hear about in history until two decades later. I plan to blog on some of these. I loved ghost stories when I was younger. :)

Energy - as I spoke to @lukestokes above I am curious if this might have anything to do with how quantum particles can change their state based on observation. Interesting stuff. I also put this energy stuff FIRMLY in my realm of speculation. It is something I believe there may be something to it, but it is my own speculation so I have zero doubt it is somewhat, or perhaps even completely flawed. :)

I can believe these things by the way WITHOUT believing in religion.

I am atheist / deist. I literally do not believe a single written religion. Yet Deism simply says "There was a creator, he/she/it may have left, now use reason" and doesn't believe in revelation, prophecy, etc. I can't prove there was or was not a creator. So atheism and deism BOTH work for me I just take the use REASON part.

Yet I don't have to agree with a religion to see strange things happen and wonder about them. :)

No doubt brother. I totally respect your atheist/deist perspective and I love speculating about this stuff as well.

I think quantum physics are just mind boggling. I've read the basic stuff, like Brian Green, Michio, etc... but I also realize that I know basically nothing about the field. I do know that in time, our minds will perpetually be blown with what we uncover.

In the meantime, I see stuff happening in the quantum world as something we don't experience in our world. Non-experience does not mean non-existence, it just means it's irrelevant until we experience it on our level. 11+ dimensions, infinite multiverse, quantum entanglement, etc. have yet to prove a direct effect on our existence, as far as I can tell. Again, I could be completely wrong on that assessment, but that's how I personally think about it.

One of my favorite books is Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. Although it calls for massive government funding for space exploration, his passion for the limitless possibilities for our species just blew my mind. I am always ready to have those moments again. :)

Can't wait to read the blogs you got coming up. Certainly sound spooky as all hell. Don't tell me the message was "mine bitcoin in 20 years" in 1989 XD
