ACCEPTANCE OF PARANORMAL IN DAILY LIFE

SMELLING THE PARANORMAL ROSE

Although I have experienced and studied paranormal phenomena for many years, I still find it difficult to consciously integrate this profound reality into my everyday recognition of the reality in which I reside.

Does that make sense? I know the reality intellectually, and have even encountered it through my five senses a number of times, yet my ability to this moment completely accept this profound fact as existing NOW is somehow elusive.

My ability to know this moment and every moment that my mind is capable of transcending time and space, that it is capable of affecting material objects in profound ways at any moment still does not seem absolutely real.

Is this where that term I dislike, “faith”, is a necessary element? I seek to replace “faith” with “knowing”. Am I, in so doing, somehow blocking the moment by moment experience? Do I fail to appreciate the nature and power of Faith?

A difficulty is moment by moment knowing of the absolute reality of unlimited mind seems to be because this profound reality of the nature of our minds is so outside usual experience, is not available to me to consciously summon, and is so rejected by much of society and science, that not withstanding its reality, the recognition of mind as unlimited by time, space or the apparent solidarity of material objects remains illusive.

The paranormal experience is not under my control.
