A long time ago I came to a realization. It was that regardless of what is happening, if your mind does not register the information your senses are presenting to you, then for all intents and purposes, that reality is not happening for you.
How often have you been looking both ways down a road or highway before pulling out, thinking the way was clear, only to have a car scream by with it's horn blasting at you, and a hand hanging out the window giving you the one finger salute?
Where did that come from? It was clear both ways just a second ago! But was it really?
Your eyes take in data that your mind and brain interpret. If your eyes take in data about a car, but it does not get interpreted (for whatever reason), that car will not be there for you, well,...not until it hits you anyway.
Once my wife and I were at my in laws, and I couldn't find a set of my keys. I looked all over for a good thirty minutes, especially in my coat and pants pockets. I had my hands in my pockets half a dozen times for each pocket, and no keys! Finally I decided to use my wife's keys and go back home and see if I could find them there.
No dice. I got back to my in laws house and told them all that I couldn't find them anywhere. Then I stuck my hand in the front pocket of my jeans and guess what?
You guessed it. There were my keys as big and bulky as life! Totally unbelievable. If it hadn't happened to me personally, I wouldn't have believed it possible.
So,...were the keys there all the time and my mind and brain didn't register the data that my fingers were sending or,...was it a miracle! ,...or perhaps higher powers were just jerking my chain.
