A Little Weird

reality bizarres the standard

November 11th, 2011 by Sean Has it been a year?

Ah, 11/11…/11!

Surely I must have something important to share on this once-in-a-century date?!

No… not particularly :-P. I can’t imagine too many people will end up reading this anyways, which is fine by me.

The only thing remotely psionics-related I’ve been doing is attempting to unwire my thoughts concerning empathy. I discovered a term called “codependency“, which does a great job at explaining the mental processes of (what I call) empathy. If you find yourself a victim of empathy, perhaps researching codependency will help you. It’s helped me.

I’ve also been working on archiving PsiPog and ALW to a single download of the appropriate HTML/CSS files. I plan on putting this file on PsiPog.net, leaving it up for a year or two, then taking the site down completely. We’ve had a good run… these websites were a big part of my teens and 20’s. I’m 28 now… about to get married and start a family. I’m glad to have helped a lot of people, but there comes a point when you have to move on. I hope to have the download available within the next couple months.

When I first started getting into the paranormal, when I was 15, my father told it me was just a phase. I hated that. I guess it’s something a parent tells themselves when their child gets into something weird, whether it be obnoxious music, or dressing a particular way, or trying to move things with their mind :-P.

Perhaps it was a phase, but I don’t hate that it was a phase — I hated that “just a phase” was used to devalue my thoughts and feelings. Oh, you believe something weird? You’ll get over it. Oh, you are doing lots of research? You’ll get over it. Oh, you’ve found scientific evidence? You’ll get over it. Oh, you’ve seen it with your own eyes? You’ll get over it. It’s this attitude of devaluing that I hate.

Psionics was a phase… a long phase :-P. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t valuable. That doesn’t mean that it was all bullshit. I have seen and done things that modern science cannot explain. I feel proud of that. It has helped me to deal with being weird… and finding other weird people in this world to relate to. It’s pushed me towards self-growth and becoming a good person.

Everything is a phase… it just depends on the scale. This human life is a phase we will all get over some day. Psionics is what you make of it. No one has the right to minimize something important to you. That doesn’t mean you have the right to bully people with your beliefs either — it just means we should strive for mutual respect.

Happy 11/11/11! Someday you will outgrow whatever it is you find valuable today. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable today.
