Before, yes before. Sometimes and for lack of a better word memories, memories from before your current time of a place resurface. Dreams or recollections of things and places that invoke memory like feelings of something that you have seen before, or a place that you have been before. Yet, your conscience mind knows you have never been there before. Very strange, but also very strong and intense. Real or imagined? Who's to really say. But there has to be something to it. Whether natural or supernatural, the lines between reality and something else seem to blur or run into each other. Call it what you will... Visions, memories, or a message from beyond what we regard as reality... But we sense things, feel things, and dream of things that have no basis in reality... Does it make them any less real? Sleeping in a different place, particularly an old place with lots of history, and dreaming about something or a happening, that later, upon awakening presents itself as something that really happened at this location. A bit spooky, yet, calming, relaxing, and compelling that you experienced something not in the realm of the normal human beliefs. But it was real, and the facts and knowledge later obtained makes you realize that there was something to it all, and not merely a random vague dream, but a dream filled with other people and feelings and emotions of something that happened in this place, at another time. Yep, certainly different from anything in the realm of normal experience. Places verses things seem to have the strongest feelings. How do you explain the strong sense of knowing that you have been there before, yet know that you have not. Strangely know what is around the corner before you get there. See a old object and have a overwhelming familiarity with something from over hundred years ago... a bit strange, not unsettling, but never the less strange and odd... but feels entirely real. To the open minded person, almost anything is possible, even if the rational mind precludes the possibilities. So there you have it. Every meet someone and know you have met them before, yet you haven't. Or even more strange, met someone and have a intensely strong consuming feeling that you were together in some other place or time? Like a wife, sister, or daughter? Strong emotional ties of some kind. Of course you dare not act on those feelings in the real world... But what if you did... And the other person had those same thoughts and feelings. Like when you see someone, look into their face and eyes and its like and explosion of thoughts, feelings, and images from a different time or place. Now this doesn't happen too often, in fact very rarely... But what does it mean? Is it real or imagined? Who's to say. Make of it what you will. Believe it or not. Real or imagined? Some things are certainly real, believed to be real, yet rationally can not be proven. So where does someone draw the line between reality and something else. Perhaps we will never know... And reality and traditional thinking will certainly preclude you from trying to tell someone else what you sense about them. Then there's the occasional incident when you have a strong feeling about something that's gonna happen... usually something that's not good... And you change or delay your route only later to find out that the was an accident right where you would have been... Or the plane that you were suppose to have been on crashed. All kinda scary unexplained stuff. Again, real or simply imagined? Or something in between? And when it happens more often of more intensely, does it mean something? Be extra watchful and aware! Some theorist believe that there's more to this then meets the rational mind. Memories locked in DNA that is part of the unconscious mind. But who's memories? Previous generations? Or previous personal experiences and memories? Using only a fraction of our minds leaves the vast unexplained remainder of the brain open to many things that might not seem normal. The possibilities could surprise us all. All that is definitely real is the feelings and thoughts that intermittently surface that remain unexplained. Real, yes! Logically unexplained and no doubt socially and scientifically, well, what most would call a taboo subject. But then again, so would the thoughts of many of today's realities have been many years ago. Several hundred years ago to speak of such things as we know today would have been insane. What will mankind know as reality in a hundred years that today is thought to be supernatural of mere folly. Just a little something to consider on the dawning of a new day, a new era, where the impossible becomes reality. And knowledge reveals what was once viewed as insanity to be factual, real, and true. What a day that would be. When it is discovered how to open and expand the human mind, and all finally will be revealed. Just something to consider as you quietly find some alone time and think on the possibilities. Science fiction had always had a way to become science fact. As inhabitants of the planet Earth, we know we are not alone. Ancient text confirms this. Religions believe it. What will happen, and what will we then know, when beliefs and theory's become fact? Can you imagine the human condition if and when all is revealed and realized. All I can say is... Wow! But everyone to their own thoughts and beliefs. So there's my little bit of light reading for the day. Thought provoking... Or dismissed as mere fantasy... Well , that's entirely up to you.
Here's a before, much before, like 100 years ago... And the present. Why would there be such strong feelings about being there before. And knowing exactly what was around the corner, before you get there. And why and how would you know this? When you have never been there before. Question everything. When all rational explanations have been dismissed... And all that remains is the impossible... Well, what now would seem impossible seems a bit more probable, given no other alternatives, as viewed by the open mind. Quite the contrary, or is it really simple to explain and accept... So easy to conceive. Or are you so certain of everything?
