Oh see. I wrote my first post from 2022.
For someone who cannot silence, you were very calm on the introduction of the OL blog this year. Hi, dear readers, I returned, although I did not go far, as you’ll know if you are Follow me on Twitter (Hint, hint). For a while I could not frankly determine any specific reason I did not want to write anything. There was certainly no shortage of strange shit to dive by default. However, recently, I discovered some things and now I will share them.
I don’t know if there is already an institution in the paranormal scene. According to the scene, I mean the culture inside and around many societies that revolve around the groups of supernatural interests. When I think about the scenery, I consider everyone one of those who push to go to hunting ghosts in England’s castles on Saturday night, those who collide with witnesses to the fictional witness, to Bigfoot fishermen who wander in the American forests, and those who investigate in close meetings of the third and fourth type. And everything is between …
It is a strange world there.
I have always felt as if I am a strange person for such supernatural societies because although I am looking and checking out of superpowers and alleged puzzles, I do this as a person who does not believe in the supernatural or supernatural. I am not afraid to talk about my opinion and face the allegations of others, which sometimes makes me less popular (at least.) I am not always welcome and I certainly don’t feel I belong. However, I am still very involved in supernatural culture because of what I do.
This year, I was thinking a lot about the most firming culture of British ghost hunting and supernatural investigation. What does belonging mean? What is the illegal supernatural investigation and what is not considered? What do the paranormal societies do and achieve them?
These are societies that are at risk of being very isolated, with unannounced standards, almost impossible to reach the feeling of acceptance. She consulted as an expert, she participated happily in a number of famous media projects in the past two years, which I have seen quietly tearing into bodies and criticism in private discussion groups via the Internet by participants in these types of societies. Are there problems with projects? I thought about this, but then I realized that the problems do not sit with projects, but instead with the fact that those who create these projects, share and produce these projects do not fit with the template. Do not do that He belongs to. They did not consult people who have always considered the community leaders who always ask for their contribution. They do not worship male researchers yesterday. They do not have books lined with non -printed textbooks that some of them published in the 1960s (Maybe even the Nazi, but we do not say that loudly) And they cannot cite the search, which is more than 70 years old.
However, between you and you, the table contains some problems …
As human beings, it is natural for us to want to feel that we belong to find a tribe or society of those who look like thinking. But a society that deserves you will not make you firmly guess from your brave to include you. It is okay to be enthusiastic about strange things, and there is nothing wrong with exploring strange things because you are interested in them.
You do not need to get organic cards to the Psychological Research Association or Ghost Club or any other such institution before you can participate in the super scene. You do not need to get a check list of books that you have He should I read before you can speak. All you need is an open mind, a healthy curiosity, a willingness to learn, and you are fine.
To hell with tables …
