Be they aliens or older forms of life (or just other than us)...does anyone here believe that these forms of life exist?

Has anyone ever gotten 'vibes' (please bahave! lol) from a seemingly normal person on the street?  Has anyone ever encountered what I call a 'shadow', an obvious presence which ypu can almostr see but very much sense, which causes you to feel irrational fear? Try to reply seriously please folks ( i know it's hard but it can be done  :evil:)...I'm interested in hearing other people's stories...

Yes, I have done that.

Quote from: Lupernikes_shadowbark on September 01, 2008, 03:38:24 PMnot being facetious or anything mate, it's just trying to describe what is hard to describe so other people can visualise it.....I have no idea what we're capable of perceiving or being aware of, just what the concensus decides is 'normal'

then it would kinda help if you would describe your experiences in terms that you know they are (1), so that we don't have to correct you on what we are certain that they are not (2) in order to have any kind of sensible discussion.

(1) you know you saw, felt and interpreted something.

I have several times in my life but it's often kind of like trying to describe the taste of strawberries to someone who has never even seen a strawberry, let alone tasted one.

(2) you were not perceiving "light outside the physical spectrum". there's no reason to assume this, except "it might be cool if it was", but your eyes simply aren't capable of that, and even if they were*, it would register as an excitation of one of the blue, green or red cones in the eye, and therefore appear to your mind as made of some perfectly normal colour, nothing of the ethereal "colourless colour" you describe. conclusion: it's gotta be something else, but not light outside of the visible spectrum.

oh yes of course, I accept that many of the things we describe or have had described to use as "magic" or "supernatural" have in fact perfectly natural and scientific (though as yet undiscovered/proven by science) explainations.  I like some of the explainations posited by Anne Rice actually, though I'm not sure I agree with all of them obviously.   WE humans have more senses than the accepted 5.  We have an inbuilt sense of time for example.  Some of us may have an inbuilt sense of direction and location (possibly left over magnetic sense like that of some animals).  In short we have, I think, two thirds of our brain which we do not use.  It's possible that some people do, for whatever reason, use some of these 'switched off' parts, or everyone does and simply do not realise or ignore it.  Maybe some people are genetic 'sports' or throwbacks.  Whatever the reason etc, I do firmly believe that science cannot yet explain all that exists on the earth but also believe that we don't need to wait for science to do that for us, we've become too in awe of science in the last couple of hundred years and lost our connection with the world around us.  Instead of trying to explain the possibility of 'other' life around us, we need to accept it as a part of nature and admit that there is a great deal we don't know about yet.

* for instance, the eye is slightly capable of registering infra-red light frequencies, though they are very faint and therefore usually drowned out by the other light present. in some situations it isn't, and you can vaguely make out infra-red frequencies. because they register on mostly the red cones in your eye, to the mind they simply appear as some vague reddish glow. same kind of holds for ultra-violet light, which you can perceive under certain circumstances (night clubs with UV lamps).

oddly enough my wife suggested the same to me once.  I have exhibited a talent for always knowing where my dog is at night, in the dark of the woods where I walk him.  The dog is black, I have to mention.  I can sometimes see what could be an envelope of heat or trail of heat coming off of him (kind of like a 3-dimensional ship's wake streaming behind him).  Using this i always know where he is.  Oddly though, I have only detected humans this way very rarely.  Maybe I am a throwback myself and have subtle physical differences..who knows and I'm not letting some scientist find out either!!  hence the joke in my username...i look slighly lupine and can see in the dark! lol

HOW COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY KNOW THAT

YOU ARE EXPECTING FAR TOO MUCH.

maybe I am or maybe I am not but I'm still one of the few discordians who seeks nonassisted enlightenment; I drink rarely and take drugs (excepting the non prescription variety and cigarettes, which I'm trying to quit right now) not at all...least I can't blame the drugs eh?   :lol:

i'd blame it on the lack of them, myself
