Do you have the ability to see things . . . objects . . . at a distance?

Probably yes, huh?

However, the truth is, what you are actually "seeing" (perceiving) are high speed vibrations right there in your own space. Those vibrations came into your space via light waves . . . vibrations that travel across spaces.

So, if we go strictly by the truth, we'd have to say that people who believe they can see objects at a distance are delusional.

If they were totally rational and honest about it, they'd have to admit that they are actually perceiving vibrations in their own space and that they never really see anything at a distance. However, they might strongly profess that they DO see things happening at a distance. In this case, us strictly rational types would know that that this is part of their belief system, and that they are actually delusional.

Besides that, to be truly rational about it, they'd have to admit that they never really see ANYTHING happen in the present time, or "now". That's because by the time light or any other kind of waves arrive in their space, delivering data to them about what's happening "right now" over there, it's already happened.

In other words, you only get data about an event AFTER it's over. (Easy to accept when we're talking about a beam of light from a star . . . light vibrations that took millions or billions of years to arrive here at our planet's surface. But even if it's only a fraction of a nanosecond, the TRUTH is that even though you may believe that you saw that apple hit the ground, it's "old data" and you actually didn't see that apple hit the ground. You only got data about it, via light waves, AFTER it happened.)

So you see, all those people out there . . . maybe even you . . . who believe that they are seeing things happening "now" are actually delusional.

But you know what? Just about all of my friends are delulsional. And even though I know the truth about them, I STILL like them! (And I usually don't tell them what I know about them.)

And, I'll freely admit, I've been known to be delusional myself on many an occasion. Makes for a good game. Much easier to enjoy the party when you go along with the game everyone else is playing even though you know it's delusional. Sometimes it's even fun!
