Could it be that I am being haunted by my past?
I wouldn't say that I am even close to being superstitious. After all, I am the one who opens umbrellas inside the house. When I spill salt, I simply clean it up. I have even met quite a few black cats in my lifetime.
Of late, however, I have been struck by an unusual feeling of a repetitiveness of events in my life. I find that I even read stories off the newspaper that seem to be repeated headlines from the past. I could swear that the people interviewed are familiar acquaintances and even the events appear to be nothing particularly new to me. I have even found myself suffering from that why-is-that-surprising-to-you syndrome.
I don't mean to sound spooky, in fact I have had this rather awkward conversation with someone logical. Her response was surprisingly not that different from what I was beginning to conclude myself. She simply stated that there is just too much of the same nonsense and insanity across the world for one to differentiate; it seems, between what has happened and what may or less be in our minds.
I will admit my theory is a little quirky, but none-the-less here it is.
Remember how in Jeremiah 1:5 God states, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...".
If this applies to all of us, of which I am certain is the case, could it just be (and forgive my over imaginative mind) that we witnessed all the absurdity of mankind that we read about in the Bible? Could it be that when certain events happen down here on earth, the spirit in us grieves because it is a reminder of what was and sadly continues to be the story of mankind?
If you think that this is wacky logic, consider this for a second.
I remember taking a course in Biology during which the Professor once alluded to what we know as the primitive gene. He went on to state that the evidence of this primitive gene is apparent in the amazement and warm feeling inside that we each experience at the sight of a warm fire on a cold night. Biologists believe that at that moment we are actually experiencing what the the first man who lit the first fire felt like at the sight of those sparks of fire.
Since I believe that science is merely a means by which God's greatness is revealed and that any well-proven theories are nothing but a statement of the obvious (maybe not to man, but to God anyway), could one apply this then to any apparent déjà vu?
Just think about it.
I think that is enough theorising for one day.
I Bid You Shalom,
