I think it's when we are gullible and blindly* accept paranormal explanations for events that we give "woo-woo" a bad name :). There is a lot of wisdom in woo-woo, but unfortunately it can get lost when we don't practice discernment.<BR/><BR/>[* How's that for a pun, given that this is a series on visual experiences?!]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522333827229141515.post-16888523038556642762008-06-22T08:53:00.000+01:002008-06-22T08:53:00.000+01:00Diane - Your profession sounds fascinating!

How long did it take to train your eyes and brain to find the patterns that you were looking for?<BR/><BR/>Like you, I also want to see the things that are really there, not get caught up in physical illusions. That's probably why I'm not a fan of stage magic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522333827229141515.post-91018366246714956712008-06-21T13:20:00.000+01:002008-06-21T13:20:00.000+01:00Hey Mags,Questioning your own woo-woo huh?

There are a lot of wild modalities out there and as you know it's not all wisdom.<BR/><BR/>Keep at it. I'd love to see even more controversy in your writing.<BR/><BR/>TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522333827229141515.post-48628714196152551782008-06-20T17:07:00.000+01:002008-06-20T17:07:00.000+01:00Thanks for this series. I am keenly interested in ...Thanks for this series. I am keenly interested in seeing and perceptions and filters. I would not want to SEE something unless it was really there. (And not just my "retinal fatigue") For many years I worked in a profession where we examined things with a microscope. We looked for patterns. Sometimes I would see something concerning and then be unable to find it again later. (An effect from my retinal fatigue?) <BR/>I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
