I liked this analogy so much, I just had to share it.

“Imagine this: you wake up tomorrow morning to find out your country has been invaded. The occupying forces are everywhere, with soldiers on every street and in every shop; they’ve even put cameras and propaganda posters in your home while you slept.

You freak out a little more when no-one else seems to care; hell, they haven’t even noticed, and what’s up with that? Your friends, your family, everyfuckingbody, just carrying on like it was a normal day.

Your freak out is complete when the truth finally sinks in: this invasion didn’t happen while you slept, it happened before you were even born; when you woke up this morning, you really woke up. Yesterday, you were just like everybody else, blind to the powerful forces all around you controlling every intimate aspect of your life; today, you can see.

That’s what being a seer is like: all that stuff that most people seem to sort of believe in, to one degree or another, is all real and it’s all right here, not off in some airy-fairy ‘other plane of existence.’ The otherworld is this world and nor are you out of it.”
