Lights Will Guide You

Do you believe in magic? Miracles? Not kind of magic you see performed by magician on stage. Actually they are not magician, they are illusionist. Illusion means seeing something which is not real. You might have seen magician pulling out rabbit from empty hat. Actually rabbit already exist in hat. But the empty hat which magician shows us is illusion. I am not talking about this kind of illusion. I am talking about Magic. Pure magic, which can’t be explained by science, like seeing dead person standing in front of you. Generally these kind of things are called paranormal things or sometime ghost stories.   

 So, do I believe in Miracles? I do, but to which extent, I don’t know. I have felt this kind of paranormal things happening with me, but should I give this experiences name of miracles or not, I am not sure. I have experienced certain kind of external forces guiding, helping or warning me ahead of something really happen. I want to share 2 of my experiences which have compelled me to think about these supernatural forces.

On a pleasant evening I was passing through highway. I was looking out of window and enjoying cool breeze. Suddenly truck passed by me honking loudly and stirred me from my thoughts. I noticed letters scribbled on that truck. It was nick name of my friend and I was the only person who calls her through that name. It reminded me about old memories. I thought sometime these kinds of honks are necessary to forget busy life and remember old golden days. When I entered city, I saw real name of that friend on Church. I thought what a coincidence. After few miles, I stopped at shopping center to buy some routine stuff and when I was checking out from that store, I noticed a movie star on cover page of magazine. I was often telling her that she looks like that movie star. What the hell was that??!! How can this kind of coincidences happened within less than 2 hours. Wasn’t that indication that something is going to happen? And you will not believe but I found that friend online that night and we talked. Strange thing about this experience is that I haven’t talked with that person from last 2 years and I have never seen her online anytime. 

Now this second experience is very recent and that actually has triggered my urge to write article on this topic. Last week on Sunday evening when I was returning from fun filled picnic, for a moment I felt that there was something special next day, but I was not able to recall it. I thought whatever it is, if it’s really important then it would come to my mind otherwise go-to-hell, I didn’t want to ruin my mood my stressing me out. Next day when I was doing work out, I thought how bad I am in remembering dates. Only dates I remember are birthdays of my family members and 2-3 friends. I thought for remaining people facebook is there, I can surely blame technology for my bad memory. (Whatever, I don’t care at all to wish people for birthday excluding close ones.) Suddenly I remember about one of my close friends who is not on facebook and I don’t remember his birthday. So, what’s big deal, I will ask my other friends. (It’s really bad to ask someone “hey dude, what’s ur birthday, I forgot, as we haven’t celebrated from long… ;) ) And suddenly my phone rang and it was “reminder note” of that same friend’s birthday. I might have noted down his birthday almost 4-5 years before when we were doing bachelors. I called him immediately and wished him; to be truthful I was the last person to wish him that day.  

Like these, there are many experiences in my life which insist me to believe in paranormal forces around us. Sometime when I really need someone’s help or want to talk with someone I found them on my way – either in bus, somewhere in college or in shopping mall. On some unusual moments, I have found people coming to my work place or calling me, which is quite opposite to what should have happened. Strange!!! Weird!!! Bizarre!!! What other words can define this??? Many people don’t believe in this, as they argue that there is no scientific proof to define these supernatural forces. They are just coincidences, which combine with emotions and results into these kind of superstitions.

 But I believe that “All those things which science can’t explain are not necessary to be considered as superstitions. Those may be science which we haven’t still discovered.”  

P.S. This is kind of weird topic but if you want to share your thoughts or experiences regarding supernatural things, feel free to share it through comment. I will really appreciate your participation.
