About layers pt. 3

Layers vary in thickness. Imagine a piece of cloth, maybe an old linen sack or a piece of clothing you've been wearing for years. At places of regular friction, the fabric will be thinner and sometimes even see-through, before it rips. It's the same with layers. Sometimes events happen that rub the weaving of reality at certain places. Depending on the event, those patches can be small as a pebble or as big as a house. And sometimes, they rip, like in the story of the forum user in my last post. My friend from The Awakened Minds told me the following story: "I had a client who was a manager at a construction business. Once they got a job to demolish the decrepit remnants of a psychiatric hospital.  The workers all quickly agreed it was haunted: they would hear voices, equipment would get lost, and strange accidents happened. But construction workers can be a superstitious bunch, so the manager didn't pay it any mind. One morning the entire crew came back and claimed th...

About layers pt. 2

A user on a paranormal forum wrote in 2006: "For a long time, sometimes there was a little snow globe on my porch that's absolutely not mine! It has my car in it, something I've never seen in a snow globe. I just know those with a house or a snow man or maybe some kids ice skating. But a car... my car?

At first I also thought someone pulled a doorbell prank and forgot it there, and one time it was gone, so I just shrugged it off.

A few weeks later I had forgotten about it until it appeared on my kitchen windowsill. That scared me, because it meant whoever was pulling that prank  was going through my trash  A...

About layers

Today I want to talk about layers. In my very first post I wrote about how science and spirituality can only together show us the truth. I still stand by that, but sometimes, if we want to see  before we can understand, we need to let go of that need to explain everything. It skews our perception and blinds us for what we deem unimportant, but which might be the very clue we need. Multiverse theorist Caroline Wells writes in the foreword of her anthology  Breaking the Limitations of Reality : "Science has long found proof of multiple planes of reality. The entire multiverse theory is not a new one. Mathematicians, physicists, astronomers, they all know there is matter where it should not be, time runs slower the faster you move, and in black holes space and time are reversed. [...] There is a profound inexplicability whenever we try to understand that beyond what we can see. And yet we know it is there. It is, thus, time we turn away from science and embrace the unexplainable ...
