PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN STRANGE WORLDS

Let truth be told ....

I find some places highly 'repulsive'. This is like an absolute 'magnetic repulse' of like poles. It is like something in me strongly pushing them away from me. It is as if some force is telling me, "Move away, this is a 'dark' palace, you don't belong here". I feel a strong urge to disappear from that place.

Something tells me the same about some people.

But when you are living in this physical world and encounter a social situation, you can't avoid some things and people. Friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances, neighbours and even strangers.

I have to manage somehow.

This drains a lot of energy that is needed for higher purpose. Avoiding them seems the best option.

Mental inflexibility: If you say,

"I hate that sound (misophonia).

I hate that smell.

I hate these types of stories, these types of narratives annoy me".

And then

Misanthropy - the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behaviour, or certain types of human nature.

If you are hooked to only certain types of things and refuse to even consider other ones, you have mental inflexibility. That is for ordinary people.

But did you know people who have higher awareness, can have 'super sensitivity' ? Their senses work at higher levels.

Like Hyperosmia - an increased olfactory acuity (heightened sense of smell).

They find sounds others perceive as normal uncomfortably — and often unbearably — loud. They can hear more than others.

They feel the touch more. Their skin becomes super sensitive.

Their taste buds too become super sensitive. They feel the bitterness or spiciness or other tastes more.

They can see 'more' than others do. Yes!

This is not fiction. Because I face all these.

I was told ''hyper senses" will be given to some people to protect themselves!

But according to science, what are often perceived as "super senses" are actually neurological differences, heightened sensory processing, and adaptations in the brain.

Hypersensitivity: In over-responsive individuals, everyday sights, sounds, smells, and textures can feel intensely overwhelming or even painful.

Brain connectivity: Studies show increased connectivity between different regions of the brain in such people.

But ... if it becomes too much in social situations (this is not mental inflexibility, this is hyper-sensitivity because of higher awareness), I try to counter this by down-tuning my senses. That is why sometimes I don't notice immediately what is happening around me. I will be in a different world. So I react very slowly. Often, I don't react at all. I can't answer questions properly because they don't register in my mind! I can't even recollect familiar things!

I live in a strange world I can't even explain.

Imagine what you think is normal becomes unbearable for others!

But still you have to endure certain things to reach higher states of mind.

As time goes by, you learn how to utilize them for your own benefit and that of others around you.

Manoeuvring these mazes is a highly skilled ability that has to be learnt with great sincerity and effort.

So if you sometimes find me in states you don't understand, realize that the universe is playing tricks with you!

And some things denote extreme positivity too! Like NATURE, birds, flowers, streams, the moon, stars, mountains, valleys, trees .... and the Universe! They attract me very much.
