Déjà vu

Again. I felt this strange phenomenon happening to me. Like every other time when it happens. Here I am, sitting alone in the office, looking through the corner of my eye, through the glass window of the other room. Suddenly, it came. So familiar. And next, I was texting my friend on MSN about this weird feeling and again it was flooding back to my mind. so instantaneously. the sense that this is all so familiar followed a second after what is actually happening.

Eerie.

My friend told me that people called this "Déjà vu". And so I went on to read about it on the net. The word itself defines in French as "already seen". 'The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_vu)

It is always this abrupt and short-lived that sometimes I even forgot that it has happened to me. Sometimes I wonder if there is any meaning from this. Most of the time, these are just some insignificant events. Is there a purely scientific explaination perhaps due to some static energy in the brain or like what people have suggested, we are recalling things that have happened before. My fingers are trembling at the thought of this. How could we possibly find something we have never done before familar?

And this often brought me to the topic that I have once caught from a film. It said that we can travel on two different time dimensions at the same time. The existence of parallel worlds. (http://www.themarginal.com/dejavureport.htm) One is travelling on an earlier time dimension than the other. And so they explained a strange phenomenon will occur when both dimensions intersected. If one is from the more advanced time dimension, during this intersection, he will experience a sudden memory lapse which he himself may not notice and when people around him mentioned on a particular event/incident that has actually occurred in the past, this person fails to remember. On the contrary, if one belonged to the earlier time dimension, a fore-seeing or predictive ability occur during the intersection. That means one will be able to tell what will happen in him in future.

I often wonder if we do re-live the same lives over and over again without the ability to realise it. If it is true, then in the korean drama, they mentioned that one will meet the same people, do the same things and fall in love with the same person after many million years as a scientific phenomenon of space and time. (http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=61610). If this is a fact, we will do the same things we dread, we love all over again. We won't be able to choose to change any part of our history. And so true is the phrase, "what will be, will be". we need not worry about our next course of action if it is already decided. whatever our choice, it may be predicted afterall. all these processes of our life struggle may be a history itself. if so, I am thankful for all the good things that have happened to me over the past 20 years... the people I met, the things I have done. its nostalgic. and to think that perhaps, it would happen to me again a million years later, reliving all of it, is such a blessing. but like all things, think the opposite.

If these are all true, then million years later, I will write the same thing on this very same space on the internet. and you, will have to read the same blog of mine, which you will then again find so familiar.

Yeah I know that feeling of deja vu. The scariest incident of it that I experienced was once when I went to this resort in M'sia FOR THE FIRST TIME, and at the door to my room I looked to my right. I saw the stairs linking the different level and I swear I saw that scene somewhere before! Pretty much made me tremble too. Some people say this happens because our spirits wander when we sleep. But if that's the case how do we get to places we never been to before?

I think about the possibility of a parallel world too. But it gives me a strange sense of... detachment. Hard to describe. But the feeling is dreadful and exciting all at the same time.
