Jill: Yes, you're right. We perceive and respond to more than we realize. It's the conscious area of realization that is restricted and filtered. The place where we try to make sense of things to ourselves. Often we are not able to shape the information into a mould that adequately or encompassingly represents it. And so we misshape it or distort it into something less than what it really is. Law does this to justice, religion to spirituality, scientific understanding to the universe itself. We oversimplify our conclusions, until additional facts and experience render them hopelessly inadequate and dysfunctional.

Bland read a few years ago that whales have the ability, sonically, to detect the presence of other whales thousands of miles away...literally oceans away...and even communicate with them. Basically, all whales were once literally "in touch" with all other whales at all times. But over the past century and a half or so, noise pollution in our oceans due to the advance and proliferation of human nautical technology (screw propellers, engines, sonar, etc.) has all but neutralized this ability.

Bland feels that humans similarly have what is a likely a dramatic and surprising amount of subliminal information available to them at every moment...much of which must certainly seep down(or up)into our intuitive reasoning processes. Intuition, and even experiences we currently identify as clairvoyant, are likely fully rational processes simply taking place outside the bandwidth we are consciously able to function in...because the noise pollution around and within us is so great.
