"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." So said Hamlet to Horatio in Shakespeare's play. This is so true, even today!
Many people I meet refuse to believe in anything they cannot see, hear, taste, smell or touch. They trust their five senses but nothing else. And they believe this is the true scientific approach. They are completely wrong!
Maybe a century ago a scientist would have refused to believe in something he or she could not test with one of the five senses, but that is certainly not true today.
For example, I am currently studying cosmology. I am doing this study for no other reason than I am constantly looking to improve myself, and that includes continuing education in many different fields. Something I encourage you to do too. When I began my study I had no idea it would impact at all on my thinking about personal development or the articles I write in this blog - but it has just done so now.
I have just learned about "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy". Did you know that Dark Matter and Dark Energy cannot be seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched? And did you know that between them they constitute 96% of the universe? Things that we can detect in one way or another with our senses only constitute 4% of the universe. This is the mainstream scientific view, not a half-baked idea of a few radical dreamers. There are some scientists who dispute the existence of Dark Matter or Dark Energy, but they are very much in the minority - and the only way they can dispute this is by arguing that the laws of physics, including particularly the law of gravity, do not apply throughout the universe. Most scientists prefer to accept the idea of matter and energy we cannot detect with any of our "normal" senses.
For more information on Dark Matter and Dark Energy, check out this web page, which is not some "New Age" site, but a website of a highly respected international astronomy project, endorsed by scientists in the University of British Columbia, Edinburgh University, Leiden University and Oxford University:
If you can accept that there are things out there which cannot be detected, this opens up wonderful possibilities. Possibilities Shakespeare suggested in 1599.
Reflect on this for a moment.
Take the Law of Attraction for example. Is there something out there ready and willing to give us what we desire? I believe there is, and have always believed so before I heard that it is only possible to detect 4% of what is actually out there.
Take Extra Sensory Perception as another example. If 96% of the universe is made of stuff we cannot detect with any of our five senses, then if we can detect it at all it must be with a sixth sense, or a perception that goes beyond the five senses - Extra Sensory Perception (ESP).
Take ghosts, elementals, spirits - call them what you will. Or Astral bodies. 4% of the world we live in is composed of what we call "matter". Although this matter is comprised mainly of nothing (the gaps between the particles in our atoms are relatively enormous), we can see, hear, smell, taste and touch this matter. We cannot walk through walls, even though both they and we are mainly comprised of nothing but space, as the small particles that make up "matter" strongly repel each other and give us the illusion of solidity. But that is not true of the dark side, the other 96%. It is here, all around us, but it is invisible and flows through us as though we were a liquid or gas rather than a "solid" object. Who is to say there are not life forms composed of Dark Matter and Dark Energy? Who is to say we do not have a Dark Matter / Dark Energy "body" ourselves which passes through walls and doors and travels through an Astral Plane at the speed of light as we sleep?
The next time you are tempted to scorn the idea of the existence of anything incorporeal, anything mystical, anything beyond our current understanding, think again. Remember what Shakespeare had Hamlet say and realize there is more truth in this than most of us probably ever believed.
