The above noted - his writings are much more esoteric than the above tagcloud would suggest - and - today, I pick up on three posts that I bookmarked from just the last few weeks. And, like with Bruce Duensing's material last week - I will comment in some manner about each link of Erik's that I highlight.
First up - Chasing Coyote: The Ghost in the Skull - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/chasing-coyote-ghost-in-skull.html . Now, part of good paranormal writing is having the cool title - check.
In this post, as in many of his other posts, Erik reveals - "The childhood my brother and I had was very interesting and at times terrifying to say the least. We, together have seemingly experienced almost the entirety of the paranormal realm and its unorthodox offerings at one time or another and sometimes multiple events at once! Things flew around our room, the whispers chattered, the temperature grew cold and the blue light flooded through the windows. My brother and I watched and unwillingly participated in these horrifying events until we were both well into our teenaged years.
some of the more bizarre events his experienced with others, in this case his brother. But, his article is used to posit the idea that the phenomena beyond the normal consensus may be caused by the individual themselves as a bi-location-connectedness of oneself to reality. "By relating to an identity, we are forced conceptually to look upon everything around us and in us as Other Than. I don’t think it is. It is this sense of Other Than, in my opinion, that is both the progenitor and the harbinger of the fear of it; fear of the separate and unknown or Unknowable thing. Fear that is unfounded if one were to maybe accept the possibility that the bad, bad thing is actually one’s self. At once it becomes innocuous and inane as a mere cerebral contrivance of ether and pith.
Erik however does allow for it not to be self-based phenomena too "another postulate and speculative guess comes to mind because as I stated earlier, knowing the thing only seems to make it more separate with the ever-unnerving stance of Other Than perception. To me, THAT is the Trickster. That fleeting sense of Other Than instead of More Of Myself in constant horrific and morphing manifestation is, to my way of thinking, the illusive Coyote; the skinwalking shapeshifter preying upon the archetypal arsenal lying in waiting within your subconscious mind.
Interestingly, Erik gives a possible reason for his Trickster entity as being a accumulation of forces/consciousnesses - just as I spoke about a quantitative basis of consciousness in Could the Human Population Level `Trip' Cosmic Consciousness? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=47
All in all - accessible thinking, well explained, with plausible ideas.
Post two - The Paranormal: Believing the Reality You Have Created - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/paranormal-believing-reality-you-have.html Erik's post easily passes the great title requirement again - check.
Frankly, in this post - Erik sounds more like a Zen person than an outside the box thinker; "Most go through life thinking that all around them is without them. This is inside out perception. Literally. All, and I mean ALL, is within YOU. All comes to you. All comes from you. You do not understand? Rest in that which does not understand and that is still it (thank you Ken Wilber). There is nothing YOU are not.
That said, the above is only a sliver of a long essay making this point in many accessible ways. -- My comment from my brain - more `into' phenomenology - would be that - indeed - the NOW of our perception can be found only within ourselves - and, it indeed is attached to the `out there'.
And, finally, post three - The Undoing of Science in Ultimate Subjectivity - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/undoing-of-science-in-ultimate.html - dig the title once again. Check.
To me, this post is what the title of the last post was supposed to be - a diving into ideas of subjective reality and belief. Interesting esoteric opinions. Again, to me, Erik extends a little far into one direction - but - since I have only skimmed the surface of his writings - this may be nothing more than his writing style. Indeed, I found this thought experiment of his to be fun to read - makes me wonder if he has read Joseph Chilton Pierce or some phenomenology such as Sartre or Husserl.
So, if you are looking for a new, interesting, blogger on esoteric thoughts - make sure to include The Paranormal Experiencer on (or to) your bookmarks.
