Wattpad brings you a guest post from Bianca Loyola, author of the fantasy thriller Hello:
Okay, so maybe a crystal ball is a bit over the top, but what if those women with the crazy makeup and abundance of jewelry actually knew what they were talking about? Would you be afraid, or would you rather take out your handy dandy scalpel and dissect their brains? Well, don’t freak out, because psychic phenomenon is a lot more feasible than you’d think. In fact, you might even already be one yourself!
The Gut Feeling
I’m sure we’ve all had that moment sometime in our life where we were completely 100% certain that something just wasn’t right. Well, this is what some might call intuition, or better known as the gut feeling. But what does this mean, exactly? Some scientists believe that it has everything to do with how well you’re in tune with your innate self. Just think about it. A human’s subconscious receives over 400 billion bits of information every second, but its conscious mind only processes about 200 thousand of them. Just think of the things you could do if you had access to all that information. Intuition would be like a grain of sand in an entire sea of possibilities.
The Time Paradox
According to recent studies, time isn’t like a long string connecting the past to the present and the present to the future, but more like a giant circle. “Time doesn’t exist,” says those who’ve read and agree with Einstein’s book on relativity. But if that were the case, and time really was a big circle, then that would mean that everything has already happened, the present doesn’t exist, and both the past and the future is occurring simultaneously. Well, if the subconscious mind is truly so intuitive, then wouldn’t it already be aware of everything that has and will happen? So maybe that crystal ball really was for show, and the real magic was happening in the woman’s head.
Walking on Water
Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools,” and I can’t help but think he was right! If you were ever told as a child that it’s impossible to fly, then it makes sense why you’re unable to levitate now. According to quantum physics, the human subconscious knows no limitations, but it’s your conscious mind that creates these boundaries when it’s told that something cannot be done. That’s why it seems impossible to walk on water, but I’m sure that if you closed your eyes and truly believed you were walking on solid ground, you’d take your first step onto something concrete.
But don’t take my word for it, try it yourself! You probably shouldn’t go bungee jumping off a cliff just yet, but start by trying something simple. Take a spoon and try to bend it with your mind, or grab a penny and push it across the table with a mere thought. It’s literally all in your head, but if you try hard enough and truly believe it’s possible, it’s scientifically proven that you can make your thoughts become reality.
