From an early age I have been a fan of books, radio and television educating me to understand something of value in the world that I am growing into.
Experiencing that which is learnt walking life's mean streets is an altogether "other" training tool that hits us without an opportunity to understand why it delivered its lesson with such an overpowering blow.
I have been persuaded by a reader to address one of my experiences with the esoteric that I had no choice in embracing.
I had been visiting a cousin in Belfast returning to Greece via an over night stay at the home of two friends in London. I slept well alone in my own bedroom rousing from my sleep at about 6 am, to discover that I was engaged in a conversation with my Belfast based cousin, as if she were in the same room. It was a vivid dream that focused my attention for the dialogue continued for some time.
On returning to my community I telephoned my hosts to thank them for their hospitality. On reaching my cousin in Belfast, Denise she interrupted me immediately to tell me how much she enjoyed our conversation that morning detailing the exchange with great precision. I did not interrupt her for I was bowled over by her memory of our every word that I had determined was nothing more than a sleepy stroll into a dreamy fantasy world best forgotten.
Not for one moment did I believe that I had been conversing live with my cousin as if she were directly in front of me. Without the cost of a telephone call. With the crystal clarity that only comes with a face, to face exchange.
Telepathy for those who experience such a phenomenon is a reminder that life's mysteries need to be experienced to be believed.
A witness helps.
I'm a little wiser today.
With much more to learn.
No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it. –Ecclesiastes 8:17
