What was that?

Today, I forgot to wear my watch to work.  Today, my wife who is more than 7,000 miles away, also forgot to bring her watch to work.  Neither of us ever forgets to bring our watches to work.  So what happened?

Edgar Cayce's (1877 - 1945) biography is called, There is a River.  It's called this because he felt that when he went to sleep, he dipped into a river where all things knowable were known.  He went there for answers posed to him. For those of you unfamiliar with him, he has been called the Sleeping Prophet.  He would go to sleep and then wake up and tell you how to solve your medical problem.

He was very good at this.  Doubters should read up on him if you think this is a little far fetched.

If you have read my blogs, you may have seen that I have had direct experience with this as well.  I am not a psychic but I have been in the presence of a genuine person-who-sees-what-I-cannot.

How does this work?

There is a book entitled Entangled Minds.  In it, the author takes all kinds of psychic research and applies the scientific method to the results.  For example:  Should someone be able to call a coin toss accurately two out of two times?  How about two-hundred out of two-hundred times.  He calculates the probability of the psychic research results being obtained by chance or randomness.  His results are surprising.  He found that people can tell when they are being stared at; people can tell when their spouse is in trouble.  They can, to an extent, read minds, predict the future and see things in their minds even though they have never been there.

So, this phenomena exists.  I just want to know how it works.

And, why doesn't it work all of the time?

If I can tell you that you were born in a yellow house at the end of a cul-de-sac even though I have never been there and you never told this to me, how come I can't tell you where you left your keys?

There is something out there.  Author Lynne McTaggart wrote a book called The Field.  In it, she speculates that there is a field, not unlike a magnetic field, that unifies all of us.  I affect you and you me. 

She may be wrong but probably not by too much.  Physicists have found that information can travel instantaneously between two points.  How does that happen?    To particles in different locations instantaneously know what the other is doing.  That means information traveled faster than light.  I thought that was impossible.Well, impossible if information has mass.  Otherwise, I guess I'll permit it.

Don't even get me started on Dark Matter.  (okay, just a little).  This is matter inferred by observations of the gravitational effects throughout the universe.  It makes up 80% of the matter in the universe and we can't even see it.

So, what does this all mean?

It means that we have less awareness of our universe than an almond does of the workings on an internal combustion engine.

It's not that we are not smart enough, although I am sure we aren't.  I don't think we have the tools to see beyond our five senses. Every now and then, someone comes along and sees what the rest of us can't.  They aren't smarter or more observant, they just have little trait gifted to them for some reason.

Maybe God gave it to them.  Maybe little green men from Mars.  Maybe it was just the universe trying to keep us interested in reaching outwards for the stars or inwards for the God Particle.

I want to know - at least I think I do.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to know everything.  At those times, I always end up with, "What fun would that be?"
