Émile Deschamps

French writer Émile Deschamps claims in his memoirs that, in 1805, he was treated to some plum pudding by a stranger named Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, the writer encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him that the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fontgibu. Many years later, in 1832, Deschamps was at a dinner and once again ordered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete—and in the same instant, the now-senile de Fontgibu entered the room, having got the wrong address.

The everyday consciousness

At this moment, tons of radio waves flow through you, signals that you cannot perceive: radio and TV broadcasts, telephone calls, and internet searches. The ether is also filled with telepathic messages that you cannot perceive because they are not directed at you. You may not even perceive them even if they are directed at you because you are insensitive and believe that such signals do not exist. These messages do not consist of radio waves.

Many people have experienced synchronicities and telepathic phenomena; many are fascinated by these peculiar signals, but what are they composed of? Why are they so ambiguous? What function do they fulfill? Why are they so difficult to interpret?

I think they are messages from another sphere, or from the collective subconscious mind. They want to remind you that there really are other dimensions. What is happening up here, at the surface level, in our everyday consciousness, is not the whole story. Life is much, much stranger than you think. It is not just about money, social status, and sex. And it is not just about reason and scientific explanations. The everyday consciousness is only a small part of a human being.

Narcissism

Donald Trump is a pathological narcissist, according to many reputable psychologists. Well, that's pretty obvious, isn't it? But what are all those hyperenthusiastic people at the Trump rallies suffering from? What is their problem?

What is the problem with all those people who are fanatical followers of cult leaders, evangelical pastors, and self-improvement gurus?

Nature, nurture and mystery

Y= G+E+Fw+X

Y=You    G= Genes     E= Environment      Fw= Free will       X=?


(Modern science teaches that we are who we are because of nature and nurture; genes and environment. It leaves out the X-factor because it is not possible to investigate with scientific methods. It leaves out serendipity, synchronicity, and mystery and can thus give you a complete scientific explanation of who you are.)

Focus on what really matters

How did life begin here on Earth? What happened before the Big Bang? Did God create the world? Such questions are not that important; they are, at most, fun to contemplate after watching a science show on TV.

It's the same with synchronicities and other paranormal phenomena. Are such phenomena real, or are they simply mental constructions or interpretations? Other questions are far more critical, for example: Do I lie too much? Do I deceive myself? Am I living in a fantasy world? Am I a selfish jerk? Am I ideologically or religiously possessed?

And there are even more critical questions to consider, for example: Are there parts of me that are not too bad, that are not deluded and false, that are upright and friendly? Which parts are those? Why have these parts been neglected for so many years?

Subpersonalities

Some parts of you are OK. These parts have been suppressed, like the nice and friendly kid among their dominating and rowdy classmates.
