My own awareness does not appear to extend beyond my own body; indeed it seems to only be present in a portion thereof. How do you project awareness beyond the horizon? That is a skill I would like to learn.
Of course, I mean direct somatic BeHereNow-type awareness. As a somewhat rational creature I have a model of the world beyond the horizon, based on memory, learning, confidence in continuity. But that isn't awareness, merely knowledge.
If I open my terms to allow knowledge, then I can embrace much of the temporal universe. I am not able, however much I want to, to go beyond that. I am also leery of my sensorium's capacity to seduce and deceive, which capacity is not always held in check by my mind's palette of reality checks. People sense auras and talk to ghosts ... or do they?
I do not intend to be hostile. But your ideas don't dovetail with my own sight of the wold-at-large. So I am assuming a prosecutorial stance. An honest prosecutor says "You can prove me wrong, and if you can, please do so. But it is my job to ensure that you can't do that easily or casually." |
