ATTENTION TO THE UNSEEN

TEXT:  “For we fix our attention, not on the things that are seen, but on things
            that are unseen.”

           Halloween thoughts - things that are not seen -
                     Ghosts, Goblins, Witches, Devils, Spirits, Souls, Spooks, Saints
                     All Hallows Eve - night to remember the dead
                     Haunted houses
                     Appearances of the dead

           Question of reality -
                     Superstition?  Only reality what we can see, hear, taste, smell or touch.
                     Or, is there another reality?
                     Could there be “things that are unseen.”

           Two books:
                      1.  “The Psychic Universe”  Dean Radin
                                Scientific studies of unseen phenomenon
                                         Psychic communication
                                         Remote Viewing
                                         Pre-cognition
                                         Time and space travel
                                         Out of body experience
                      2.  “Psychic Warrior”  David Morehouse
                                CIA use of psychics

                      Hear something spooky from one Morehouse ERV (Extended Remote
            Viewing) journeys:

“I slipped deeper and deeper into the ether.   Time had nearly stopped.  I felt myself rising into the darkness, away from the table and the room.  Up, up….I tried to gain some sense of where I was.  There was a rushing sound in my ears, like a cold wind passing.  I felt blind, lost, helpless, and cold.  Pinholes of light came into focus, like stars in a black fog.  The ‘stars’ suddenly blurred into horizontal streaks of light.  I felt myself accelerating, faster and faster, falling toward the target through a tunnel of light.”   (p. 111)
                      Back to the Scientist.  He says in science talk what the Bible says simply:
“Underlying the isolated world of ordinary objects [things that are seen] and human experience is another reality; an interconnect world of intermingling relationships and possibilities [things unseen].  This underlying reality is more fundamental [lasts forever] than the transient forms and dynamic relationships of human experiences [lasts only for a time].”
                     Carl Jung said it more succinctly:
  “It is almost an absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical.”


Jean’s Bible story had Joseph foreseeing (pre-cognition) in a dream.
                      Modern science says: impossible
                      Psychic Universe says: maybe so

For ages people have been claiming contact with “the other side, the other world”
                      Modern people say: superstition
                      Psychic Universe says: could be

“For we fix our attention, not on the things that are seen, but on things that are unseen.
What can be seen lasts only for a time; but what cannot be seen lasts forever.”
