Ok, this may seem a bit weird, bear with me a sec. I have mentioned before that I have belonged to a "Preppers/News" forum since about mid-2000. Name is Time Bomb 2000 (http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=9).
Background:
Dennis Olsen, the guy who runs it, does a great job, really. The forum usually has under 300 people cruising it at any given time. This is deceiving in the sense, that a normal day there will add from 50-70 new posts/day, and today, for instance, the number of posts added and commented on are at about 85. It is a busy place.
Normally when the number of members + visitors hits 400, they will turn off acess to visitors, to keep the place hopping for members. Gaining membership there will usually take someone up to 6 months, because they don't often accept new members. (Ok, enough. I don't get a commission. I just like the place)
I cruise it daily, because the membership there is so wildly diverse, and a good percentage of them have very good sources, it's a great place to hear things first.
Now the main forum at this place does not take to, or suffer well things that get even a tiny bit "woogie", off the norms of reality, etc. Most posts of that type are discounted, moved to a sub forum, or both, so quickly, you just don't see much of it there.
Now, the fact that a post of this type has:
a) stayed on the front page,
b) been posted by a long-time admin, who normally would be called by "regular folk" as the soul of reason,
both made it kind of remarkable, to me.
The fact it was done, and some of the responses, by folk who normally don't talk of such things, made it more interesting. By which I mean it serves to point out something curious; that more and more people are beginning to sense, (I guess) a broadening, or extension to their normal levels of perception. And speaking of it, even in places where they don't, usually.
I saw this, and decided to post something about it here, because it might be a thread a few might want to follow, if they're curious. The post has so far gathered 47 responses, since 10 PM last nite. I have posted Satanta's first two posts, to give you an idea. The title below links to the thread (which I have yet to finish reading, or respond to, but intend to).

Bear with me as I am curious to see if it is just a mental problem or if anyone else goes through this...
As far back as I can remember it seems I am just a step out of sync with the world at times. Not always but-
I remember when I was a teen going outside and it was like being in a fishbowl. I could see everything around me but there was no sound-I was living in a metroplex not far from a major highway in the city and near an airport. No cars, no birds, no wind...nada. A car would drive past and it was like watching a movie with the sound off. Kids up the street? Nope-could have been silent movies.
I've watched movies-new releases on DVD [don't do the theatre] and already know it. Not like a slasher film that goes from point A to point B but take 'Mirrors' for instance-I knew about the mirrors and the possedsed girl, the nun and the room in the basement of the old mall-even the chair and windows. 'Silent Hill'-never heard of it till a couple months ago but watching it I knew about the town, the kid and the distorted creatures spitting acid ash and so on.
I lost two days week before last. I thought it was Wednsday and then my sis tells me it's Saturday.
Even last night-I watched a movie. It stopped at 9:15 and I opened up Netscape. I scanned my email [nothing there], swung in here to check for mssgs [nada] and went to my home board, glanced at the clock and it was 10:45. All of that together would take five minutes tops.
No one seems to notice so I am obviously functioning on some level in this reality but it gets annoying-I often know conversations right before they happen and change things if I know they are going to be bad conversations.
I read people like books-my ex asked once if I was even human.And then...
If it was 'Just' the missing time and such I could go with epilepsy. I told you it's more involved. When I was a kid I was diabetic and during low blood sugars would see 'black' wriaths or something passing thr the walls and into the room. Sure-chock it up to LBS. However LBS and epilepsy does not explain me getting into witchcraft and a stranger showing up at my place of work with a serious book on witchcraft-not the kind of book you find at BDalton. Does not explain that I told no one as I was embarressed about it and that my work was over an hour from my AO at a truck stop going towards Houston.
Does not explain during the stroke, when asleep, living someone else' life in a day-to-day matter but time was faster by years instead of hours.
Does not explain the old building I dreamt of-including writing in my dream journal, seeing it as it was before I found it a few months later in decrepit but recognizeable condition.
Does not explain my hearing aid dissapearing then showing up six weeks later eight feet off the floor behind a set of encyclopedias in a house where I was seeing 'sparkles' and hearing voices talking to each other-my dog saw the 'sparkles' too.
I told you there is a lot more...much more.
The 'bum' asking me for a soda by a creek then introducing himself as "Judas". The bottle, empty sitting on a tree out in the middle of the creek the following day with mud flats for ten feet to the waterline and no tracks.
Before the stroke I was tested by the Texas Commision for the Blind to see where they might place me in a job-I tested so high I was off the damned charts. Great. So I was broke because they had nothing they could place me in.
No signs of epilepsy from the CATS scans and whatever else they did AFTER the stroke.
Do I need to go on?
I cannot even keep a relationship because I think so fast I tend to wear people out. My folks try not to get into conversations with me because I do not even think as slow as they do. I know I come across as a bit or even extremely strange-I have to try extremely hard not to speak ten different thoughts at once and keep everyone together on the same topic instead of switchign channels constantly.
Maybe I am schizo.
Edit to add on the book: When I started getting out of witchcraft I met another stranger and she was beautiful. Never seen the likes since-close a few times but not quite. She borrowed the book and dissapeared forevermore.Anyway, a curiosity for y'all.
