When you think about it,.... is when it happens in reality.......
Ya know when you think of something and then it happens?
Science calls that precognition, or knowledge of an event before it occurs.
Mystics call it foreknowledge,....E.S.P., ESP, clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, second sight,.... we even call it woman's intuition and for the men,... Gut feelings,... the apparent power to perceive things that are not present to the senses.
Every one of our man-made religions have all of those precognition events throughout their scriptures and yet every one of them call that Evil,....... because when they do it it's not evil, .... it's divine providence from their God,........... but when YOU do it it's called witchcraft and demonic rituals from the dark side.
Interesting concept no doubt.
I think when we think of something that becomes reality it because we thought of it with our inner Consciousness along with others thinking the same thing and that's why it became a reality, because we WILLED it to become reality, because the real reality is WE ARE THE REAL GODS,... You & Me, and we just don't know our powers of consciousness on a grand scale.
And when we do, we will change this world for the better and get rid of all the trash............

Looking Back And Looking Into The Future
To get my mind away from any and all of the terrible things that are taking place throughout the world, today, I have been going through my memories.
There's one period of time, in particular, about which I've been thinking. I have repeatedly focused on a stretch of years -- roughly, from the end of elementary school onward into 10th grade.
The way that I sum up that period of time is to tell myself that everything that was happening around me was interesting, some of it was fascinating, and that I had little difficulty thinking about any of the individual bits of information that I was taking in with my eyes and ears. I had little difficulty, because my immediate environment (my hometown and Bergen County, New Jersey), plus the greater environment of the society, were calm. Long- lasting distractions were rare.
That started to change when the U.S. public understood that the country's involvement in the war in Vietnam was not going to end any time soon. The weaknesses in the economy and the society, in general, then, became obvious and the national political situation was such that nothing was going to be done about solving any of those problems, any of those weaknesses.
At that time, I did not understand any of those problems or weaknesses facing the U.S.; they were just words to me. I only started making sense of them, when I became a college student. I eventually dropped out of college around 1974.
But during that stretch of years, everything was interesting to me, some of it was fascinating, and there were few long- lasting distractions. I was reading fiction and non-fiction. I was listening to a lot of radio. I was listening to all kinds of music. I went to see live music performances. I was taking piano lessons. I was watching television and movies.
Already, by the time that I started 10th grade, I felt that I had to learn as much as I could about movies. So...whenever I was going to see a movie in a theater or watch a movie on television, it was a big deal to me. I was going to pay a good deal of attention to the movie and think about it, afterwards.
In those years, just about every television station in New York City scheduled movies every day of the week -- which meant that any time I turned on a television in my home, I could find a movie to watch -- usually with commercials.
In turn, that meant that during any given period of seven days, there was at least one movie that I was thinking about, a movie that I had watched; i.e., either in a theater or on television.
A specific movie's impact might last a day or two, a week, and, sometimes, depending on the subject matter of the plot -- depending on what I now call the core concept -- the impact might linger for years and years.
The impact of the movie that I'm thinking of, today, is one that has lingered for years and years. I've always enjoyed thinking about it and have recently watched it, again, at my leisure...
A young, good- looking man in his 20's, well dressed, has arrived at night at a train station, somewhere in the western part of the U.S. Something is on his mind; he seems to be looking for something or someone. He spots an object on the gravel, adjacent to one of the station's train tracks. It's a dark- colored woman's glove. He calmly and deliberately avoids a passing locomotive and keeps walking. He spots more objects in the sand next to a train track: a woman's handbag, personal belongings from the handbag.
Instinctively, the young good-looking man looks upwards and spots someone in the distance, someone moving along a walkway at the top of a metal overpass used by railroad workers.
Dodging another passing train engine, the young good-looking man dashes up the stairs to the top of the overpass and reaches a young, beautiful-looking, dark- haired woman, just as she starts to jump to her death. He pulls her back and she breaks down in tears, while he holds her.
"Why did you stop me? Why!?" she cries.
"It's all right, Jean. Everything's all right!" he responds.
"Elliot, why didn't you let me go? I can't face them. A thousand eyes...watching..."
"The stars?" he asks, trying to understand her.
"Elliot, I'm so frightened, so frightened," she sobs and collapses, and they embrace each other.
Fairly quickly, I learn that not only do these two characters know each other, they are in a relationship with each other. They are Elliot Carson (John Lund) and Jean Courtland (Gail Russell).
There's a brief passage-of-time progression in the script, and the two characters continue talking to each other, as they leave the train station, eventually sitting together in Jean's car. She's a bit calmer, now.
Something terrible has recently happened to her -- something having to do with her father.
The bulk of the plot of this Hollywood movie starts up when the two characters reach a restaurant where Jean can get some nourishment. There, at the restaurant, from the audience's point of view, they are brought together with a new character, John Triton (Edward G. Robinson).
Much of the plot of the movie, NIGHT HAS A THOUSAN EYES, is related in flashback by Triton. The viewer soon learns that Mr. Triton has visions of the future, visions that come out of nowhere.
This is another example of a movie whose plot should not be given away.
I must have been 13 or 14 years old when I watched NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES, along with my brother, on a Saturday or Sunday, on one of New York City's television stations. The idea that a human being could somehow see the future fascinated me, and I assume that I said as much to my mother and father. As I recall, neither of them offered any insight regarding the concept -- perhaps because they didn't want to be forced to think about what they thought was in their personal future.
The subject has stayed with me to the present. I love thinking about it.
Later, in the movie, Triton is asked whether he can explain how it's possible for him to have his visions. A number of characters in the plot doubt whether the visions are real or are manufactured by Triton for his personal gain. One of the doubters asks for an explanation. And Triton explains the concept in a way that any human can make the effort to understand.
Imagine that you're sitting in a train car, you're traveling by train. You sit there and you stare absent-mindedly out the window. A white farmhouse passes by. You barely notice it. In less than a minute, the train passes cattle in a field. And then, you notice, up ahead,a group of maple trees. In this compressed minute or two, you've experienced a past, a present, and a future.
If, however, you were sitting on top of the train car, you would see the white farmhouse, the cattle in a field, and the group of maple trees; all of it, in one view.
When I first watched the movie, Triton's explanation was mysterious to me; I did not understand it. But many years later, many experiences later, there's much to think about.
NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES played in theaters throughout the U.S., starting in New York City, on October 13, 1948. It's available on DVD. I recommend the movie to everyone, here, at Tumblr.
