A Thought

      We know that there are sounds that we cannot hear with the human ear.  We know that there are bands of light that we cannot see with the human eye.  There are no doubt substances that we cannot taste with our tongue.  There are probably things that are beyond feeling by our sense of touch.  Perhaps there exist things that are “out of time” with our present human existence.  Considering all these things, is it possible that there could be a “life” that exists without our even knowing it?

 

     What would we know about such “beings” if we could not hear them, if we could not see them, if we could not taste them, if we could not sense their presence, and if they could exist outside our own timeframe?  How would we know of their very existence? 

 

     Our being aware of their existence would totally depend upon THEIR wanting us to know that they were here.  That would be the only way possible for us to become cognizant of their presence.  Think of that for a moment.  What would that truly mean?

 

     Would we be able to conceive of the things that may be possible for such beings?  The possibility of a total species that could exist around our own plane of being without us knowing that they were here!

 

     Could it be possible for such beings to live, thrive, grow, and die within the blink of our eyes?  Imagine a grandfather clock ticking the seconds away: tick, tock, one second, then tick, tock, two seconds!  There could be a complete generation of beings between the tick and the tock!  Could that even be possible?

 

     What would be beings of such existence be made of?  It is almost beyond the ability for our minds to comprehend the existence of such creatures.  What would they look like?  How would they act?  What would their existence be like?  There would be these and many more questions that would run through our minds.

 

     It must make a thinking mind ponder inquisitively the possibility of such events.  In all aspects such beings would be non-existent to us.  We would not be able to detect their existence in any fashion.  Only if they chose to make their existence known to us in some fashion would we briefly know of them at all!

 

     However, our not knowing of their existence would not make it true that they did not exist!  Regardless of our understanding of them, their existence would not be dependent upon them even remotely revealing themselves to us.  They would exist and perhaps be completely unaware of OUR existent!  If their entire lifespan was within a second or less of our own existence, they may be generations of these beings who would never know of anything existing outside their own capabilities of perception.  To them, we may be the great mystery that they debate within their scientific communities.  Or perhaps they are completely unaware of our existence at all.

 

     With the limited capabilities that we have, we may never know ourselves if such things are within the realm of possibility as we know it.  Our minds may never comprehend what may or may not be true on a level that we cannot understand!  It may be something that we will have to ponder for a long time to even may not want to begin to concede that it may be possible!

 

     With our limited senses consider this: We are aware of that annoying noise that is made when a mosquito is flying around our head at night when we are trying to sleep in our beds.  But remember, a mosquito cannot bite you when it is flying and it only makes that annoying sound when it flies.  So next time you are lying in your bed and you DON’T hear that annoying sound, maybe you are being bitten! 

 

     To perceive the full range or our senses and beyond would amount to opening possibilities that we cannot presently conceive: but then again, we’re only human!
