I once read the human brain uses only 10% of its capability. Imagine what might be if it used more. Maybe some do. I believe. Do you? I'll use myself. It may surprise you.

All my life has revolved around one major aspect. It's sort of innate radar and empathy. Every time I've been away from home, no matter how big or small the event, I've sensed problems at home, more so with my family than friends. First chance I get, I call home. Every time I've known, to this day, my family is surprised when it happens. I've been 300 miles away and knew. I can be completely occupied and engrossed. Yet, I'll be aware someone is behind me, watching or within a certain distance and I can sense this without seeing or hearing them. This does not happen always, but beyond average. I can be in a deep sleep and snap awake for the same reasons.

Intuition. This is the most difficult to explain. Nine times out of ten my natural instinct and intuition has not failed. It's like my mind sees what no one else does, can or choose to. Puzzle solutions come quicker. I see more options than average. Somehow I just know, feel to my core. The flipside is when it fails it does so in a BIG way. It must be to maintain balance.

Divination. Seer. So many names. Everyone knows or will know about déją vu. However, what if there's more to it. Past events make me believe it's not just familiarity, but a window into the future. Many times, so much I can't remember the exact number, I've dreamed about people, places, events, time, etc. like anyone else. Here's where I differentiate. Every single one became reality within no more than a year of the dream. Sometimes it's been a warning or omen. That dream was to signal that danger, hardship or other things were coming. Déją vu is interesting and tells you a lot. Dreams that become déją vu, are they reality? Kind of scary.

Maybe being born and raised in the country is a factor. Maybe being linked so closely to my emotions and feelings are as well. Maybe I use more than 10% of my brain. Maybe there's a divine connection being made. Maybe it's an evolutionary step. The answer- some, all, none? I don't know. Does anyone really know? Can we, will we ever know?

Whatever it is, where it came from and who gave them to me- I'm not sure I really want to know. Sometimes not knowing the answer is the answer. A sort of seeing with your ears, hearing with your eyes. Question it? Most likely you answered yes. I'd wonder if you were human if you didn't.

The real question, however, is "do you want an answer or just the idea of one?"
