EXTRA-SENSORY PERCEPTION
 
| PSYCHIC |
 
"PARANORMAL"
( LAST UPDATE: 2026 JULY 20 )

Extra-Sensory Perception is often defined as a sixth sense beyond the five physical senses of sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch.  Psychic is often defined as an extra mental ability beyond what the average person experiences processing and interacting with reality. Paranormal is often defined as any happening or thing that is beyond what we percieve as normal reality. So, to really understand extra sensory perception, psychics, and the paranormal, we have to really understand what we call "reality."

TASTE OF THE UNSEEN

written by M.E.

If light and dark were two sides of the same coin,

than shadow is the ridge in between-

both holding the two sides together,

and perpetually apart as far as the eye can see...

If you lay the coin down, light-side-up

darkness hides underneath,

and if the coin is dark-side-up,

than it is light that goes unseen-

but the shadow ridge remains forever between...

and what of the inside where light, dark, and shadow meet?

Where they are indistinguishably the same thing...

outwardly observed differently...?

Now, your mind is ready to receive such a thought on all of reality,

and to be consciously aware of it!

FIRST, DO WE SHARE
A COMMON VOCABULARY?

Are you already at least familiar in concept with:

 

  1. Energy Physics : Law of One

    • Physical reality as one energy (consciousness) in many frequecy forms (forces and matter; E=mc2)

    • Past, present, and future as diffrent perspectives of the surface of one time (the Eternal Now.)

  2. Emotions existing as our HUD (Heads-Up Display) for navigating our experiences of physical reality.

    • Feelings and vibes notify the individual.
    • Expressions and vibes notify others.

 

As this page expands on that knowledge without pausing to re-explain it in detail. 

NEXT, HOW DO WE
PERCIEVE REALITY?

For the record, there is more than one way of perceiving reality.


We already accept this with our optimists, pessimists, realists and every other self-identifier we socially self-segregate by, but let's begin this E.S.P., this psychic, this paranormal understanding by talking about perceiving reality in one of three ways, or a combination of these three ways:

 

  1. separate, and/or
  2. connected, and/or
  3. one.
SEPARATE

We are most at home in percieving reality through a lens of separateness. The separation of sight, sound, taste, feel, smell, consciousness and space-time.

 

With conscious focus on the perception of what is separate, physical reality is defined by something's individuality being its most important trait. Things are polar, spectrumed, and distinctly indentifiable as one thing separate from another thing. "This thing exists separately from that thing!" we're constantly discovering and sharing with each other.

 

There are many people, but I am the only me.

CONNECTED

In percieving reality through a conscious lens of connectedness, that of conscious-space-time, it is connections between individualities which become the most important trait of a thing in defining physical reality. Things are connected because they are first separate but related.

 

"I know this thing is separate from that thing because I am comparing them and measuring how relatable they are to each other; the least relatable, trait for trait, the more separate!" we say to each other, classifying things and re-classifying things.

 

As example, to understand my individual identity, me, M.E., we look at my humanness, my family, social network, culture, and personal history a.k.a "track-record," as it is the relationship, the connections between things which give any one separate thing its meaning, including self.

ONE

In percieving reality through the conscious lens of one, there is no separation or connection, therefor no physical reality as we know it, no time as we know it, only one, only isness, only being.

 

In this perspective, you are me, we are reality and the eternal now, experience and experiencer, question and answer, without being any of it, because the one is one. Unity. All. Isness. Being.

I am saying bluntly: CONSCIOUS PERCEPTION
is the barrier between physical senses and non-physical senses, between psychics and non-psychics, between the normal and the paranormal.
Looking at E.S.P. with the SEPARATE lens

The paranormal / E.S.P. / psychic phenomenon seems unreal to us because of our intense perception of separateness.

 

We don't just consider that you and me are separate beings, we consider consciousness, time and space as separate "things."

 

From this point of view, it makes no logical (physical) sense how one person's conscious thoughts could be in another person's head, or how a future can be "seen" before it is experienced, or how one can move something by thinking it, or how one can think up a flame, or how a soul can exist without a body, or how a place can be haunted by it's past, or how an inanimate object can pass along information that isn't deduced or observed or measured of the object itself.

 

In the separate perspective, it doesn't make sense and we cannot prove it to ourselves, so we say it is not real.

(and yet...)

Looking at E.S.P. with the CONNECTED lens

When we look at consciousness, space, and time as three aspects of the same "oneness," three perspectives of the same reality, the paranormal / E.S.P. / psychic phenomenon becomes more comprehensible.

 

From this point of view, we see (as example) the wave and particle are one-in-the-same, just two, very different and contradictory expressions of the same whole.

 

Reality is likewise a varied, sometimes contradictory, expression of the same whole and as such, it's not the conscious thought itself that moves from one mind to another mind, it is one conscious awareness connnecting to the thought itself that the other mind is also connected to, and/or those futures, and/or the happenings and/or people that made an impact on the inanimate object, while still retaining a sense of self and separation from this other thought, those futures, the inanimate object, and so on.

Looking at E.S.P. with the ONE lens

From our place of percieved separateness, it is difficult to percieve true oneness but I recommend making the effort in order to truly understand E.S.P., psychics, and the paranormal.

 

Oneness means no separation and no connection, just one that is.

 

From the one perspective we do not see conscious-space-time, as that would be seeing a separation and relationship, but here there is only one that is. In this perspective, we can understand that the thought doesn't move from one mind to another, and the one's conscious awareness doesn't expand to connect to the shared thoughts, the "one" "is."

 

In simpler terms (for example), from this point of view, contrasts and polarities are no longer opposing, they are in fact the same. Everything we percieve as separate and distinctly unique is, beneath the surface of physical reality and higher, separate-but-connected planes of consciousness, one.

Just let that sink in for a moment.

EVERY STATE OF MIND IS A FILTER FOR EXPERIENCE.

The person with E.S.P., the psychic, the paranormal medium experiences "just knowing" or "reaching out" or "receiving" because they consciously experience the connetions of reality, and/or it's underlying oneness. They shift or expand their separate conscious awareness to a different, more connected dimension of consciousness that was there the whole time, and technically, anyone can.

 

We have socially accepted examples of this in our individual behavior and group behavior studies, in our growing acceptance of our collective social consciousness verses our individual consciousness singularly.

 

One of my favorite examples of this is the four minute mile. Historically, our collective consciousness thought a person running fifteen miles per hour, the speed required to run one mile in four minutes, was so unthinkable, the concensus was that the effort would make a person's heart fail. Indeed, learned physicians warned against the effort until the 1950s when it was publicized that one man, Roger Bannister, ran the mile in three minutes and fifty-nine point four seconds (00:03:59:04) without having a heart attack! Now, thousands of atheles across the world have broken this record! We went from almost no on even trying, to thousands succeeding!

 

In this, we can see how our state of mind is a filter for our experience, both as individuals and a collective.

CONSCIOUSNESS = ENERGY,
WHICH IS WHY E=mc2
 (ENERGY = MATTER ), SO
MATTER = CONSCIOUSNESS.

Technically, ALL "things" in physical reality are a state of mind as well, when you understand energy physics.

 

Some of us human beings have a hard time with the beingness, the consciousness, of an inanimate object because we see consciousness as a part of sentient living things and inanimate objects as non-sentient and non-living. Yet, here they are.

 

The inanimate object exists and therefore has a life, and with that life it is living, even if it is living in a state that is much different than our own, it has a measure of consciousness because all matter is energy and energy is consciousness. When we understand this, we can understand how one can communicate with the objects, not in the same way people talk, but in the way the object lives, isness.

The punch-line is:
E.S.P., psychic and the paranormal are actually normal parts of reality.
Some of us just keep separating ourselves from those aspects of reality,
as individuals and societies.

Only two things start and stop a person from experiencing or participating in (extra) sensory perception, (psychic) psyche, and/or the (para)normal:

  1. perspective of reality and

  2. free will choice (conscious, subconscious, and/or spiritual)

YOU DO WANT TO EXPERIENCE "IT" ?

IF you feel like you want to experience E.S.P., psychic, or paranormal experiences but aren't, first realize that all experiences have purpose, and then dive deep. Ask yourself why you want to have the experience, and be as consciously honest with yourself as you can be.  Then, ask yourself how you and others will benefit and enjoy this experience of E.S.P., psychic, and/or the paranormal. Again, be really honest with yourself, but passion is good! Finally, ask yourself if the E.S.P., psychic, and/or paranormal experience will be of help to you in your greater reason for existing as yourself, in this seemingly physical reality. The matter-of-fact answer is the accurate one.

 

If you answer yourself "no" it won't be of help, than enjoy thinking about it for fun, but focus on what will help you feel the most fulfilled in your reason for existing in your physical life. If you answer yourself "I don't know" whether it will help or not, your next task is to learn the art of trusting yourself, because as we already mentioned, conscious perception is the difference between expriencing E.S.P., psychic, and the paranormal ... or not. If you answer yourself that "yes" it will help, your next task is to better understand your own consciousness and emotions so that you will know the path to E.S.P., psychic, and paranormal experiences when it reveals itself to you. (Again and again and again, you can't "miss out on it" if it's a part of your big picture experience on Earth!)

YOU DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE "IT"?

IF you feel like you are an unwilling participant in E.S.P., psychic, or paranormal experiences, realize the experience itself contradicts the conscious thoughts and dive deeper. All of reality is consciousness interacting with consciousness so, to live any physical happening, event, or experience, consciousness had to first percieve a separation with a part of itself, make that part forget it is a part of this greater whole so it can experience physicality (separations and collections of separations) by freewill choices, a.k.a. freewill focus. ERGO, You are willing on some level of the consciousness that is you, and you can do something about "it" if you're not liking "it." This is where your emotions HUD comes in.

 

LOVE is where we connect without fear. If you can, approach whatever "it" is with love, you can discover your answers about why any part of you would choose it for yourself, and/or what good you want to make out of it (which is a reason to choose such an unpreferred thing.)

 

If you just want "it" to stop, you must truly convince yourself that you no longer believe "it" is possible, and by doing so, cease access to the phenomenon. For some, this comes in the form of believing in some physical fix like amulets, rituals, cleansings, smudgings, excorsisms, and so on. If one or more of these fixes resonate with you, feels right for you, than it is right for you in that moment, regardless of what form or forms it takes.

 

For others, this comes in the form of consciously choosing the new belief with the knowledge it will be so, the way Jesus taught "Anything is possible to a person who believes" (Mark 9:23), or all Wizard of Oz, "there's no place like home" style. In either case, the person effected and relieved is choosing their relief with their belief, whether it takes a physical form or not.


Of course, for others still, understanding the phenomenon might be easier than believing it away or believing in a fix.

UNDERSTANDING
WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING:

1. You are not actually separate from whatever "it" is so, you are NOT helpless, you actually have ALL the power in your experience!

 

2. Some part of you chose "it" consciously, subconsciously, or spiritually (which is another part of consciousness) so there IS a reason, it's not arbitrary or random, AND you can choose different.

 

3. How you feel about "it" reveals what you actually believe about "it," which reveals why you are experiencing "it," whatever "it" is. We each, independently experience what we believe.

 

The question then becomes: What do you want to do about your belief?

 

Yes, to understand whatever you are experiencing, you have to (a) understand your own beliefs about "it" and then (b) decide what you want to do about what you believe about "it." The decision you feel the most excited and passionate about is the one that will serve you the best. This process, and the experience of it, is the reason these phenomenon exist, expanding consciousness and love/light/inspiration.

THANK YOU

You enhance the whole of human consciousness by seeking understanding and acting on it, on purpose! Therefore, I (M.E. the founder of lookpastit.com) personally want to thank you, reader who has read this far, for seeking these answers for yourself and acting on them for yourself.
 
"All for one and one for all"; 
it's not just a cheesy Musketeers motto,
it is energy physics, whether we're doing it on purpose or not.
