Doctors use ultrasound to get pictures during pregnancy. Noises beyond normal human hearing are played into the womb. Measurements are made of the time they take to echo. Differences of milliseconds are sufficient to build up an image. To a lesser extent, we all have a natural capacity to see in the dark. We are more sensitive, even may require you to review the way you are monitoring a delicate situation. It contains brighter potential than you think.
It would suit us all to believe that some people are infallible. Perhaps responsible CEOs of multinational conglomerates or presidents or priests or bankers, solicitors, accountants and, most particularly, judges. The thought that such individuals are fallible, is disturbing to contemplate. Even more disquieting is the notion of our own tendency to be error-prone. It feels more comforting to live in deliberate denial of this, than to embrace the concept too wholeheartedly. But you will do much better,don't worry.
The world is full of impressionists and impersonators. People often copy accents and mannerisms, even if they don't deliberately set out with this intention. We all, to some extent at least, have a chameleon-like quality to our character. This can, at times, make it hard for us to know whether we are dealing with someone else's actual attitude towards a sensitive situation or whether we are just seeing them respond in a way that they feel some other influential individual might behave.
Scientists strive to make logical sense of the world. Mystics, by comparison, embrace chaos and confusion. They feel that we are all just as likely to gain useful insight into the secret of existence through surrendering to the stream of the unconscious, than through forcing thoughts to run along strictly defined canals. At the risk of sounding controversial, none of us is entirely scientific or completely mystical. There are aspects of both in every heart and your inner visionary will prove to be your finest guide.
