The Mystery of ESP

The Mystery of ESP

An encounter with the Self

 

 

Author's Note :

 

The comparisons between human insight and that which science labels as ' psychic phenomenon' has been going on for some time. In a final analysis, it is the individual who decides how he thinks and takes responsibility for his understanding of his own mind.

 

For those who remain highly skeptical of the individual's ability to experience and catalogue his own self perceptions, science offers a starched and ironed version of the same experience, undertaken under conditions of empirical honesty. However, in doing so, it may have lost some flavor as it relates to the management of mystery and fulfillment by the mind of the individual.

 

This essay brings a layman's perspective to the issue and to create a persuasion to the reader, of their own personal integrity in such a self study. In the process, to take back their lives from the laboratories of the overly skeptical.

 

 

In a recent poem at WC, the poet spoke of walking the streets of Venice, amidst the pedestrian roads that ran this way and that and the doors to the many quaint homes, that seemed to secret some mystery that the writer felt, as it stirred some memories in her bosom.

 

It brought into one's experience, the many curiosities we harbor in ourselves and like the secrets of the Ark, we might have figured that we have lost them completely.

 

The story of the great flood as brought to our attention by the story of Noah in the Bible, is somewhat allegorical of the overwhelming experience of love by man. It drowns him and he is left to the vagaries of the passions in the conduct of the daily life. It's too late to build a boat, but man may yet refer to certain alternatives in our understanding of the phenomenon, to create our own healing.

 

At heart is the issue of trusting our own instincts as we peruse such mysteries of man's make-up, bearing in mind that there is no expert so great as to intimidate us against undertaking some small part of our own learning and understanding of the same issues.

 

Before the Bible, the legend of Gilgamesh dealt with the same issue of the flood. In the subsequent message of Osiris, he was cut up into many pieces and his body dispersed to all corners of the world. Essentially the experience is the same, of being drowned and merged into the growing world experience. And then to rediscover ourselves in a rational account of the experience.

 

In the loss of the bodily experience, a person is compelled to refer all issues to a mental account of the experience and where this refers to the world, it loses much in the way of a balanced perception. The joy of one's of learning is to combine mind with the passions. Where this is blocked by a pent up feel or resisting self consciousness, such a simple act becomes very difficult.

 

The passions may be combined with the mind to create many forms of understanding. One may experience it as intuitiveness or in some cases as psychic clairvoyance. But where we are taking an academic approach to the issue ourselves, it may also be possible to view our understanding as authentic knowledge that we may engage to apply in our daily undertakings.

 

The body is its own guide. Where we are bringing ourselves to view our learning with some amount of will, the body would resists such attempts and may by its own accord, take note of our interests and bring us to a better way of doing it. Much of these alternatives involve an attitude of non-attachment, that may be learnt, as a prerequisite to one's proper efforts.

 

In the writings provided by the schools of yoga, around the world, a clear statement is found to the fact that, man is a creation of the world around us and we are as much the birds and the trees, in the eye of nature. To make contact, in this way, with our own intrinsic natures, is a great help in building self confidence and relation to the work that one undertakes.

 

In pursuing such studies, it may be important to cultivate the attitude of a student, in the way that, a student is sometimes associated with the experiences of a learning kid. In this way, one experiences true change, as we evolve, deal with errors, correct ourselves and grow into the idea of an adult that we always dreamt about.

 

The perception that one brings to view oneself, may at the final effort, be similar to that of viewing the mind as a large bungalow with many doors and windows. One learns to keep each issue true to its own account, without insisting that they must all add up to one coherent view of the world. It is a very large house.

 

Where science refers to it as extra sensory perception, the man in society may reclassify that as normal human perceptions. In addition, he may note that not all engage a sensory notion. There are some aspects that rely on will, intelligence and the imperative of our current needs. They combine with the sensory to create a self management for our benefit that is defined as a perception by science.

 

The effectiveness of public studies is sometimes due to the fact that they come with teeth. In undertaking our own studies, we are assured that the teeth in question, is our own. And that can sometimes create a greater acceptance and satisfaction to us.

Reviews

Hello Sri Daran,

I want to thank you for this, But my poem has nothing to do with the Ark of Noah, and influences of God. I don't want that to be associated.

This was "NOT" the intention of my poem. Maybe it can be interpreted like that, but this is not how I wanted to bring it out. And it isn't also a "Personal Poem"

As I didn't even spoke about:

" In a recent poem at WC ( d-Eliscious, 2011 ), the poet spoke of walking the streets of Venice, amidst the pedestrian roads that ran this way and that and the doors to the many quaint homes, that seemed to secret some mystery that the writer felt, as it stirred some memories in her bosom." YOU QUOTE THIS TOTALLY WRONG. I DIDN'T SAID THAT, THIS ARE YOUR WORDS.

I hope you leave my name out of this.

I hope you can respect that.

This is a poem, out of NON religious movements. And pure fiction, out of science and psychology.

So I "OBJECT", before it will confuse the world.

Anyway, I appreciate, you thought of me, but it would be nice, if you "ASKED" me before for using this, and use it totally interpretated by you, with changing my words.

The point about the poem, I thought, was a ' way of looking ' at things. It was not in that way associated with the story of the Ark. That is plain in the text.
