What if there is this cummulative information matrix that is just below my conscious awareness, and it is composed of insight, intuition, and conjecture?
It could be that there is a ready explanation for some types of psychic phenomena, and its just that, unconscious information, that my feral inner child presents to me as tactical information, with a sugary frosting of "spooky magic" on top so i will pay attention to something important.
Well if i really am crazy enough to talk to the cat? (she is fine, btw, kinda sleepy and wants a snack) Would i be able to differentiate between an hallucinatory experience and a "real" intuition?
Its a wierd world, to be sure. None of us know all of even a small part of all there is to know. Belief in magic is so widespread as to be nearly universal. I have seen some amazing things, and heard tales of many more.
Perhaps it is best not to judge, i am not any sort of expert anyways. Another more interesting what if on the topic is time dilation, or temporal phase alignment. If, as i am the same person who began writing this piece, just a few moments ago, then perhaps my present mind is linked somehow to my future one, and i am literally talking to myself, by sending myself a message back in time.
There is another option to explain "other" information. It is possible, that i am in communication with some supernatural entity, who is feeding me information, like a child playing music to an ant farm, only i am the only ant leaning on the glass, and so only i am recieving the distorted information.
