📌 What the Paranormal Is and What It Is Not

Image
What do we really mean when we say something is ‘paranormal’? Misunderstandings are common, and they affect how people talk about, research, and respond to the unexplained. Many people misunderstand what  “paranormal”  truly means. They assume it's anything weird, unscientific, or scary. But to think more clearly and discuss more meaningfully, we must separate the paranormal from things it is often confused with. Here’s a breakdown of the most common mix-ups and how to tell them apart. 1. Paranormal vs. Preternatural vs. Supernatural Paranormal Preternatural Supernatural Beyond current scientific explanation, but possibly explainable someday Rare, uncanny, or seemingly unnatural events that don't break natural law; also, something divine that occurs in nature Outside the laws of nature; divine, godly, or metaphysical Some examples: ESP, UFOs, apparitions, time s...

Counseling Those With Anomalous Experiences

Ontological Shock, Meaning-Making, and Safe Integration A grounded guide for experiencers, investigators, counselors, and truth-seekers Introduction: When Reality Itself Is Shaken Some experiences do more than surprise us. They shake the foundations of reality . An anomalous experience—whether paranormal, mystical, intuitive, near-death, or psychedelic—can disrupt how a person understands: what is real who they are how meaning works where safety comes from This disruption is known as ontological shock . Ontological shock is not a failure of character, reason, or sanity. It is a human response to encountering something that does not fit one’s existing worldview. What Are Anomalous Experiences? Research shows that one-third to one-half of people report at least one anomalous experience in their lifetime. These may include: sensed presences or apparitions precognitive dreams or impressions near-death or out-of-body experiences mystical or unity sta...

Dealing with ontological shock

Image
originally posted by  MantisAwakening in r/Experiencers Dec 26, 2024 Ontological shock is a common response to anomalous experiences. Experiencing something which doesn’t seem to conform to “ consensus reality ” can trigger much more than just confusion. It can be debilitating, and is treated as a crisis situation by mental health professionals. Not because of the nature of the experiences themselves, but because of a person’s reaction to them. Your ontology is your entire worldview—it’s how you see reality. It’s based on everything you’ve learned and experienced in your life. That can  be challenged by even as something as simple as witnessing a UAP which might seem to move in “impossible” ways, or you might feel like the UAP is connected to your thoughts. Others may not see the same things you do, making you further question your sanity. When these experiences happen, it can make you feel like you have no way to judge what is “real” anymore, and cause you to question ever...

How to Approach the Unknown

Image
  A Calm, Grounded Guide for Encounters with the Unexplained The appearance of the unknown (symbolized by the glowing entity) may create tension within a worldview (symbolized by the glass dome)—not as destruction, but as a temporary strain that invites careful reflection. In the Philippines, conversations about the paranormal often sit at a crossroads. Some approach it through faith , others through science , culture, or personal experience. Many feel curious—yet uneasy. That unease is not a weakness. It is a very human response . Before discussing what the Unknown might be, it helps to understand why encounters with the Unknown often feel uncomfortable , regardless of one’s beliefs. Why the Unknown Provokes Unease 1. Uncertainty disrupts our sense of stability As humans, we rely on patterns to feel safe. We expect causes to have clear effects, and explanations to follow familiar rules. When something unexplained occurs—an unusual experience, perception, or event—it t...

Precognition: Understanding and Developing Your Intuitive Connection to the Future

Image
Precognition – the sense of knowing something before it happens – may sound mystical, but many people report uncanny experiences: a dream that “comes true,” a sudden gut feeling about an upcoming call, or a hunch that someone is about to arrive. Modern physics even suggests that our everyday sense of time’s flow is an illusion [ mitchhorowitz.substack.com ] . According to Einstein’s relativity , time doesn’t tick forward the same for everyone; space and time form a four-dimensional “block” in which past, present and future coexist [ popularmechanics.com ] [ mitchhorowitz.substack.com ] . In this view, everything that will ever happen already exists—blurring the line between now and then. But most of us experience time as linear, which makes the idea of perceiving the future hard to swallow. This article explores what precognition means, how science approaches it, and even how you might gently cultivate your own intuitive “future sense.” What Is Precognition? Precognition (from “pr...
