Humans are very powerful. I think we embody much of the best that the universe can offer. But we are also part of the chaos that is life.
Most supernatural stuff we experience is our own energy projecting the manifestation of desire. We are terrible at using it, but we do have the power to access vast stores of this universal energy.
We do better in groups, combining our focus on a common goal but we mostly lack ability to lose our individual biases in a group. Once we can mature to a level of mutual acceptance of a single outcome, we can begin to use this power to create a mutually unique and better society.
And when we can do that, we will be acceptable to those who remain mostly hidden from us currently.
But it is not supernatural. We just haven't matured enough to get it yet.
Every Culture, somewhat ties into Mysticism/Magic So, in ancient times There were high priests and priestesses, Faith Healers, In the middle ages we had clerics and Wizards who channeled otherworldly energy. In the modern-day, We have Psychics and Witches The whole gambit, What do these cultural cross-references tell us? It tells us that Throughout All Human history, man has believed in supernatural power. It crosses Epocs, Regions even, There is no culture, Where you can't find people who don't believe in some form of supernatural ability to some degree.
In Chinese culture, they Believed in Shaolin monks, Who possessed the powers of Gods and Fought using Styles that Nature Taught them. In Ancient India they Believed in Magic They Called their Magicians, Magi..
The picture I'm trying to paint here is, Why has a belief in the supernatural been instilled deep within human culture globally predating Recorded history?
It's because In rare cases large groups of people have experienced things. It can be the only answer. I believe the very reason people aren't more supernaturally gifted is, In our culture, To have such gifts would be a terrible burden.
A burden? But how, You might say... Consider this, How many times have you seen someone, OR been that someone who lashed out in anger at another person? Can you imagine how many innocent people would be harmed if people possessed supernatural abilities? Almost everyone, Everyone has enemies, And so to someone somewhere, Everyone is the bad guy deserving some terrible fate. I believe Our Spiritual connection to such Gifts was intentionally dulled or dimmed. Because Anyone can see that humans aren't responsible enough to wield power like that.
Just look at any kid pretending to be a power ranger. The first thing they do is look for bad guys to beat the hell out of.
Perhaps in ancient times, Man did possess supernatural abilities, When there were fewer people and those people had to fight every day to survive. But in modern times. People would weaponize such gifts. Anyone can say to themselves, I wouldn't be like that. And the next thing you know, That person is ten feet away from his enemy who he is convinced deserves Justice. No one is fit to wield such power. If some deity was handing out Magic power, Id Run.. Because the first thing Id do is hurt me or someone else. I know this for a fact..
