Down the Rabbit Hole into Our 6th Senses
by Carol Nicholson

Alice In Wonderland wasn't the only one to leap down a ”rabbit hole” into a strange new world. The 2004 the sleeper movie hit, “What the Bleep Do We Know”, took us on a mind-bending journey where science and spirituality came together. For many, it changed conceptions of reality by delving into the little understood world of quantum physics in an informative and entertaining way. This movie showed us that there exist many dimensions and universes previously unknown to us. It showed us that our perception of reality is far more than what we previously believed it to be. Along with this, an explosion of interest in psychic abilities or our sixth sense has occurred. What many skeptics thought of as fantasy and imagination, has demonstrated to be very a real and active part of our human makeup.

All people have natural psychic abilities. The word psychic comes from the Greek word psyche, meaning mind or consciousness. Recognizing our intuitive or psychic abilities just means that we have a sense of direct knowing without the conscious use of reasoning. Many have called this natural instinct. The isolated Aborigines of Australia and other remote tribes still have this instinctive ability as a part of their daily existence. Spending their days, much as ancient man did, looking for food, shelter, and watching out for danger, these people rely on this other sense for sheer survival. Have we in our busy modern world lost these abilities? The answer is no. They are just lying dormant within us waiting to be acknowledged.

Numerous people will admit to experiencing strange or unusual paranormal events during their lifetime. Some hear a voice calling to them when no one is there. Some report seeing a departed loved one as if they were solid and alive. Others have reported an eerie feeling cautioning them not to take a certain plane flight only to find it had met an unfortunate end or a sense to move out of the way of danger just before it happens. How many of you have narrowly missed a car accident because you felt a sudden urge to turn or change lanes?

Seeing Into the Future—A Doomed Ocean Liner

Ever had the experience of a dream, which later came true or the premonition of a future event in your life? This sixth sense ability is called precognition. The following story is an extraordinary example of precognition which has to do with the famous sinking of the Titanic.

Several published accounts about the sinking were in print long before the idea of the White Star Line’s leviathan, Titanic, had ever been conceived. The most famous of these was the publication of American author Morgan Robertson's novel, ‘The Wreck Of The Titan’. A retired sea captain, Robertson claimed he was psychic. In this novel published in 1898 many years before the unfortunate Titanic set sail, the book sited many uncanny similarities such as the ship’s name, time of sailing, tonnage, number of engines and propellers, grossly insufficient lifeboats, and the number of lives lost. Even the plot of hitting an iceberg at night on the starboard (left side) is the same as the actual disaster. Coincidence?

A Startling View of the Past—A Roman Legion on the March

Sometimes a window will open in time in which a certain event from the past will replay itself. We call this residual energy or an event imprinted on time. One of the most amazing and documented cases of this rare phenomena occurred in the UK some years ago. A plumber, Harry Martendale, had been hired to repair some water pipes in the cellar of the old Treasurer’s house in the town of York. It was a cold February day when alone and busy at his work, Harry heard what he termed a musical note. As the sound became louder, he was startled at the apparition of a soldier replete with helmet and plume stepping right through the wall beside him. After soldier appeared and disappeared into the wall on other side of the room, a horse followed with a rider astride. More soldiers immediately followed in columns of twos. The man shaken to his core, later related in vivid detail his experience to scholars. The description of attire and the small stature of the men he “saw” ultimately corroborated his story. The average person, even by reading books, could not have known the intricate details of the uniform dress of that specific time period. Hapless Harry had evidently glimpsed a part of the 9th legion which was stationed at the then existing roman fort two thousand years ago!

How could this ordinary man have witnessed a scene from two millennia ago? Every day there are strange and unexplainable events which happen to ordinary people and where the seemingly impossible does occur. Events, our common sense tells us that can’t possible happen, but do happen. Often times these events are burned into people’s memories… never to be forgotten. Science is now learning that some mysterious phenomena cannot be explained away and the number of substantial reports and reliable witnesses are far to common to simply be brushed aside.

Recognizing that sixth sense abilities are a very natural part of us can alter our every day reality. This fresh paradigm has produced a new view of life much like the film “What the Bleep…” and may provide a greater understanding of paranormal experiences in the future. And, although you may never see a roman legion marching through a wall, allowing your psychic sixth sense to open is a guarantee that an amazing and fascinating new world awaits you.
