How can we anchor acceptance, honor and understanding for the portion of the human population that DOES NOT experience extra sensory perception (ESP) and heightened sensitivities?

Despite the insurmountable evidence, scientific research and successful experimentation that proves the existence of psychic abilities, ESP and paranormal phenomena, there is a portion of the population that does not experience these things to be real, true or even possible due to their biology, the nature of their soul blueprint, and the path they are mentally committed to walking. I say “mentally committed” because to choose which path and direction one walks is a mental commitment; a choice made at the level of mind due to preconceived beliefs, past experiences and routine obligations we are presently invested in. We choose which path we wish to take in life, yet we are all walking each other back home… all ending up in the same place anyway when our life’s journey comes to an end.

Today, I would like to talk about the truth of ESP, psychic abilities and proof of its existence, while touching on the felt, lived experience of it across the diverse nature of the human experience. All humans are made differently and share different capabilities, yet we all share a same “humanness” and many embodied similarities in all of our human journeys back home to Source. It is in our nature to crave sameness and connection with others like us, yet we all have to navigate interactions with very different and contrasting people, environments, energies and experiences, and this is what I would like to focus on… the fact that there are 2 very different “types” of human and flavors of lived experience that humans can have. Some whole heartedly argue against the existence of psychic phenomena and ESP, and some argue for its existence, having experienced many of these phenomena themselves.

So… how can that be? How can some people fully claim, prove and fight for the existence of ESP and such phenomena, and how can some people totally deny its existence, backing up claims on both sides with “science”, research, opinions and lived experience? I am here to demystify this topic of discussion and hopefully share a balanced, “middle way” perspective that honors both extremes, both paths, both possibilities that are present within the human experience as a whole. There are 2 extremes, 2 sides to the same coin that humans participate in and resonate with, and by standing in the middle and analyzing both sides I hope to help us come to a mutual understanding, respect and honoring of either side, either path and all extreme variants of human experience.

There are 2 paths we can take, going in 2 distinct different directions, yet all circling back and ending up at the same end point. Nothing is permanent, and we can always change the direction we are moving in at any time, any place, in any moment of our life.

“Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.”

— Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin

Had to include that Stairway to Heaven quote; it was echoing in my mind as I was typing!! I highly recommend listening deeply to the lyrics of that song if you never have… it is especially relevant to this topic of the splitting of paths and the distinct directions life can take us, which is touched on frequently within my work in this KnowledgeBase.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand!

There are 2 paths one can walk, rooted in the 2 extreme polarities of this realm and 2 extreme variants of human consciousness… the path of Fear, and the path of Love. All paths and states of being fall somewhere on this spectrum between extremes, somewhere between extreme Love and extreme Fear, which we will circle back to at the end of this article. This suggests that there is no “one size fits all” path, embodied essence or way of walking through life that suits all of humanity. It means we are not all meant to be exactly the same either, and suggests that humanity is intended to be a diverse, authentically different species who share the same spark of life at our core. Meaning, we are all love at our core, all imbued with the same life force as one another… we just have different soul blueprints to express that life force in unique ways, and we all hold different levels of that embodied love frequency, which makes us diverse, unique and different.

I began contemplating this topic as I was reading the book “The Reality of ESP” by Russell Targ, a physicist and top researcher from Stanford Research Institute (SRI) who developed technologies and participated in extensive research into psy phenomena, ESP, psychic abilities and more for the US Government and various CIA black budget projects. He includes scientific evidence and the results of his research with SRI within the book, and it was so contrasting to many of the science and research books that are primarily promoted throughout the mainstream world which denies the existence of ESP and such otherworldly phenomena. This got me thinking… the majority of the world has been convinced of something that is only true for a portion of humanity, meaning ESP is only NOT REAL for a portion of the population… and, for another portion, it IS REAL.

This also got me reflecting on my own life, and the fact that the beginning of my life I was one of these “non-believers” and doubters in ESP and psychic abilities, although I did believe in ghosts and the paranormal. Then, after my NDE in 2017 and my own psychic abilities began developing, I pendulum swung to the other polarity and became a whole-hearted, full-on BELIEVER in everything woowoo, weird and new age. I blasted into the higher realms, started channeling spirit guides, studying starseed lineages, alien races, chakras, other dimensions, you name it…

So, if I could pendulum swing so drastically from one polarity to another, in just one quarter of a lifetime, then that means this psychic stuff IS POSSIBLE for many of us… but maybe it is NOT possible, or real, for every one of us. Let me explain further as we go along…

esp - a real phenomena, “all in our heads”, or a mix of both?

We must remember that only a portion of the human population has the capability to experience extra sensory perception, and has developed or directly experienced such phenomena. That means there is also a portion of humanity that cannot, and will not understand the lived experience of this phenomena no matter how clearly it is explained, most likely bashing and denying its possibility and fighting for their version of reality. This is completely natural, and it is perfectly normal for one to defend their beliefs, personal experiences and version of reality. However, my dilemma is when others try to impose their version of reality on another, and tries to deny the validity, truth or existence of another’s personal experience. This is what I intend to speak on in this article.

What we need to learn is this; there is no one size fits all version of humanity. There is no universal capability that all of humanity shares. We are all individual facets of the whole; unique individuals that are part of a collective. We must continue to honor this inherent diversity moving forward, especially as consciousness begins to rise and bleed into higher dimensions while incarnated in human form… a lot of our modern issues and challenges stem from trying to cram everyone into the same fitted box and version of reality, demanding that everyone is exactly the same, needs to follow the same perfectly planned and laid out path. We create standards of living and operating that are based in the belief that we are all capable of exactly the same things and should be able to meet the same standards, but this may be false and contributing to much of the suffering on planet Earth. Much of our mental health and health care system standards are based on a white male model, when this is only a small portion of the population.

We are judging ALL humans on the standards that only a few can meet, and it’s really creating a lot of problems for us, royally fucking our day up and seriously wasting our time.

The truth is, we are not the same, nor were we intended to be the same. We are vastly different from one human to the next, although we do all hold a shared humanity and many similarities with one another. We are not all vastly different, yet we all hold uniqueness at our core and we must honor, develop and bring out that uniqueness at all costs, otherwise we risk becoming a sterile, soulless, uniform humanity, which will completely destroy the original intention of the human experience and will drastically change what it means to be a human in this collective.

This is the choice and massive change point all of humanity and life on Earth are facing at this time… do we anchor down our wild humanness and unique gifts, or do we deny it and trade these perceived “flaws” for a sterile, uniform blandness, becoming more machine-like and disconnected from the human spirit.

The forced conformity, denying of differences, and praise of sameness, blandness and sterility is slowing destroying the human spirit and is changing the very nature of the human experience. Often driven out of fear and misunderstanding, forced conformity and praising sameness runs rampant in the ruling classes at this time, who seem to be driven by a completely different agenda than the desires and agendas of the whole.

These agendas trickle down and influence the obedient middle and lower class followers of the elite, thus imprinting forced conformity and standards of sameness on the masses. It seems many of these ruling class figures are driven by a figure even higher on the hierarchy than them, driven by a force from “above”, which may seem like a “god” (or “gods”) or a higher power but it is really just the secret “rulers” at the top of the pyramid, who are in touch with darker forces and who orchestrate and manipulate world events from behind the scenes with their “heavenly knowledge”. Many of these figures at the top of the pyramid may be the “watchers” and fallen angels of religion and mythology.

Is this what WE really want, and need? A secret, almost mythical elite ruling over all, imposing misaligned standards and conformity through force of will, designed chaos and influence from dark forces? Even if the dark forces part is a myth, is this beneficial for all of humanity? Does the human experience as it is right now support, enrich and benefit humans in general? Are these agendas and desires of this top elite class beneficial for all of humanity, or do they only benefit those who created it?

We need ruling classes and leadership who will serve all humans, all soul types, all walks of life… not those who want to impose and enforce their brutal will over others, to force conformity and obedience.

We need humans leading humans… not elites owning the lower classes.

Back to the original point, only a portion of the human population is capable of ESP and heightened sensory processing. This means a portion is also not capable… so how can we navigate this paradoxical truth moving forward, which is the fact that psychic ability, ESP and heightened sensitivities exist for some and not all?

In my opinion, it all starts by honoring differences, accepting what is true, real, authentic and possible for people on an individual level, and recognizing that what is true for one WILL NOT be true for all.

We have all these “scientists” and authority figured claiming ghosts aren’t real, ESP, psychic phenomena and the metaphysical is a “hoax”, a scam, made up, and all in our heads; a product of our imagination and not a “real life” thing. Many authorities are trying to convince us that these things are not real… but these things are not real for THEM, and this may not be the case for the rest of us…

We cannot stand up on our thrown and preach righteousness, truth and law any longer. We cannot demand conformity and acceptance of worldwide truths and standards. We think sameness and uniform ways of living are “safe”, but is it really beneficial to stifle our uniqueness and creativity in favor for a uniform blandness someone deemed “safe”? Look at what the catholic church did to the face of this Earth across history, destroying and denying anything that does not conform to its righteousness and truth… Look at what hitler did with the same standards, ideals and intentions… He thought that HE was right, that HIS TRUTH was THE TRUTH with a capital T, and he imposed that truth on the population… killing millions, catalyzing a world war and forever changing the face of the Earth.

Is this what we really need? Leaders and rulers claiming their truth is the only truth and forcing everyone to accept that truth, get along with it and conform to its standards?

I know I keep saying it, but we really need to question our rulership and those we are giving immense power to at this important point in human history…

Especially as we learn that ALL of humanity is NOT THE SAME. Many of us are learning now that we are a vastly unique, different and diverse species full of magic, wonder, advanced ability and capability… So why would we try to snuff out those capabilities, abilities and beautiful wondrous traits? Why would we try to force conformity in the first place? Why?

FEAR…

False. Evidence. Appearing. Real.

When something appears in our reality that is contradictory to our beliefs and what we have deemed real, true and possible, we often respond in 2 ways… we respond with fear, or curiosity.

When we respond with fear, we often seek to eliminate, destroy or get away from the false evidence that is appearing real to us. We deny it, fight it and will do anything to SEPARATE from it.

When we respond with curiosity, we lean into the false evidence, do not feel threatened by it, seek to understand it, see it from another’s side or perspective, and we often try to connect with it, becoming more whole as a result.

Fear separates… curiosity connects.

When we are stuck in a fear response, we become chronically aggressive, isolated and anxious, and will often try to do anything to gain power over the fear, destroy the fear or get so far away from it that we no longer perceive it. This stems from the fight, flight or freeze response many of us have heard countless times. We cannot grow, evolve or create real lasting impact on the planet when we are isolated and rooted in fear… this is why it destroys us, our relationships, our opportunities and our inner psyche.

Fear is a virus that slips in and takes up space in our being, making it hard for love to enter. Fear is a protector at times, protecting us from vulnerability, pain, danger, and even love sometimes if we have learned to fear or feel threatened by loving vibrations. Fear is the absence of love, or more so the seeking, needing or desire for love that is made manifest through separating from love.

In fear, oftentimes all we truly desire is to reconnect with love, but fear plays its games and distorts reality so it feels like we are so far away from love… so desperate, so separate and cast out of heaven. This story has its roots in our origins, reflecting the story of the snake in the garden of Eden and Adam & Eve being cast out of heaven… could this mythological story be symbolic of FEAR, as represented by the snake, entering the human PSYCHE or consciousness, as represented by the garden? Could we be eliminating this fear virus at this time, as we realize our true power lies in our ability to perceive, shift our perception, be conscious and hold influence over our biology, energy and state of being?

** side note: interesting enough, the fear response of the brain is centered in the amygdala or “reptilian brain”, so could this “snake in the garden” symbolize humanity being stuck in the fear response, stuck in survival, mirrored by the “serpent” entering the “garden”? Fear entering the human psyche, distorting perception and locking us in limited states of survival consciousness?

Snake = reptilian brain and survival / fear based responses

Garden = the body as a whole, including higher perceptions and the pineal gland **

Circling back to the beginning once more; if some humans are capable of certain things, and other humans are not, yet we are all interconnected at our core and “the same” in our shared humaneness… can we begin to accept the NECESSITY for diversity in a shared system? Science has taught us about the NEED for diversity in an ecosystem, so why would the human ecosystem be any different?

Additionally, we need to look around and ask ourselves… where are we headed, and where are we being led right now as a collective and as individuals?

It feels almost as if we are being herded somewhere quickly, oftentimes without our knowing… where are we being herded towards, and who is doing the herding?

If we are the sheep, who is the dog, the wolf, the master leading the group?

I look around planet Earth these days, in October 2025, and I see on one hand we are being stripped of our creativity, our humanity, our authenticity and uniqueness in favor of sterility, conformity, sameness, complacency, fear and abnormal normalization. On the other hand, we are being encouraged to pave our own way, open and expand our creativity and consciousness, choose holistic options, experiment in our expression and embrace our authenticity.

These 2 paths - or 2 main life path directions - are being anchored simultaneously, and it is up to us as the individual to choose which way we want to go. One direction heads toward the great mystery; towards the unknown world of metaphysics, creativity, freedom, spirit, ESP and heightened sensitivity. The second direction heads away from spirit, away from the unknown and into control and obsessive knowing, away from things like ESP, HSP and anxiety being real or valid, denying the existence of anything outside of logic and reasoning and “science”, all while rejecting creativity, uniqueness, variety and color in favor for things to be bland, sterile, black and white, “safe” and sameness.

One path is rooted in love, one rooted in fear.

Love moves towards the great mystery because it understands everything is love; that even fear at its core is just asking for or seeking love. Fear moves away because it misunderstands, rejects and denies that everything is love. It does not trust, it does not know, and it lives in this perpetual downward spiral of lack of love, pain and separation, claiming it is all knowing and seeking endless knowledge while not really “knowing” anything at all. Both of these essences, fear and love, spirit and non spirit, connection and disconnection, are walking each other home to Truth, which is that all is one, all is love at its core. Fear at its core is love because it is a request for, asking of and desire for love… it is separation from love, implying that it is love that merely perceives it is separate. Even in its moving away from love, fear is love, because nothing can exist if it is not imbued with love; even the slightest amounts.

Often in movies and stories the adversary can be coaxed into reason or peace through love. Oftentimes, you can see that the “villain”, “bad guy” or whatever is just in need of love that they never received or were unable to see. Most of these adversaries are made over time, sculpted from a lack of love, trauma, pain or suffering that surmounted their separation and drove them deeper and deeper into fear, from which they respond to life and act out of this deep, intense, cultivated fear. Many of us can see that people don’t just wake up one day and become evil, bad or wrong… it takes many stages, many choices and many experiences compounded over time to drive a being to such separation, such anger, such terror and fear that they act out of it and ripple more of it out. What they are really calling for is love, reconnection, oneness, unity with another and with the source… but their actions are distorted, as is their mind, psyche and spirit.

*stock image*
The above image metaphorically implies someone “calling out for love”… and the overall energy of the photo screams someone who desperately wants and needs love, saying “fuck love” in an attempt to be indifferent about something they care so much about yet feel deflated and defeated in their pursuits. This is how I perceive fear a lot of the time - desperately calling for love, yet acting in a way that implies they don’t care about love.

So, all in all… there are 2 paths we can walk, and 2 extreme variants of human consciousness we can experience.

All of us humans are consciously choosing which path we want to walk in EVERY MOMENT, and we all fall somewhere on the spectrum between the 2 extreme variants of consciousness. We fall somewhere between extreme separation (fear) and extreme connection (love), understanding we are all walking each other home in the end and that home is love. Love is home to each and every one of us as we all hold some degree of love at our core. We can choose to either increase the embodiment of the love that we are and ripple that love out into the physical world, or we can choose to decrease that love into an embodiment of fear and the lower spectrum of embodied frequencies, rippling out more fear, more control and more distortion as a result.

The choice is always ours, and many of us flip flop between these paths many times a day. We are not perfect in our ability to choose, because of the veil of forgetting that is in place within this Earthly dimension of experience… however we can raise our frequency to peer beyond this veil and merge with the Source and oneness temporarily to perceive the perfection that is inherent within all things and glimpse the higher choices that are available to us… this is how our psychic abilities and ESP works, and this is actually what psychics, mystics and oracles have been doing since time began.

They peer beyond the veil into higher realms to grasp at higher truths, heightened awareness and spiritual wisdom to assist in the navigation of the Earth plane whilst incarnated. When we incarnate here we are cut off from higher truths and we forget the inherent oneness of this experience, but we are able to reach out of this realm and into the higher ones for clarity, guidance and reconnection with oneness / spirit / Source, so as to remember the “divine plan”, choose in greater alignment with our infinite soul self, and to make our lives a bit easier down here in the human soup.

So… if humans have been able to do this since time began - peering beyond the veil, seeing into other dimensions, perceiving extra sensory perceptions - then why are we going to let a select few humans convince us that this is not possible, that it’s merely myth, fantasy, illusion, “all in our heads” and a product of imagination? If we KNOW this has been possible for 1000s of years, and have been able to scientifically prove ESP and psychic phenomena as real and true since the 1970s, can we begin to accept psychics, mystics, oracles and metaphysical phenomena to be a real thing and a true reality for some, even if it is not true for all? Can we accept that which is not true for us, because it may be true for another?

** another side note: this really touches on the “witch wounds” many of us carry, in which our past ancestors and previous incarnations were brutally tortured, murdered and stifled for holding ESP abilities and practicing holistic magic… but we won’t go too deeply into that at this time, although it is Halloween in Massachusetts and the witches are out in full force in Salem rn! hehe ;)

The witch trials were a real, intense thing for many humans, and they happened well beyond just Salem, MA which made the trials famous and well known. Women who were in touch with their innate wisdom, aka witches, were not accepted for their capabilities, uniqueness and differences… they were murdered for their differences, same as the Catholic Church and many other ruling organizations have done to people who were “different” or “gifted” across our known history… **

The more we can accept - within ourselves and others - the more free this world becomes. The more we reject, deny and shame things, both within ourselves and others, the more we perpetuate this to continue to occur in our world, making the world a tighter, scarier, more sterile and bland place. They always say “what you heal in yourself you heal in the world”, and that we must “be the change we wish to see”… this is what is intended by these ideas and concepts! They are intending that the more we accept, love and release judgement about ourselves, the more we will accept, love and release judgement about the world and the people living in it, making our corner of the world a little brighter and more loving and rippling that love out to touch others.

Energy is contagious - laughter can make you smile, just as a bad mood can bring you down. Remember this as you show up in the world - are you putting out love or fear? Its okay no matter what you put out, because you are human and are intended to feel IT ALL!! I am just suggesting that if we want to make the world a better, more loving place… start with yourself, and be mindful of the energy you radiate and give to others.

Reality is but a mirror, helping us become more whole and complete within ourselves, and this is what humanity is learning on a massive scale at this time. What we judge in others, we secretly judge within ourselves and don’t want to admit. What we hate in others, we hate in ourselves but refuse to acknowledge or look at it. This is actually how reality helps us, and guides us back home to ourselves. It’s not the world “out there” that has to change… it’s our perceptions, self imposed limitations and inner world that has to change, or more so the way we treat ourselves, see ourselves and interact with others. These are reflections that get played out and mirrored in the external world;

as above so below, as within so without.

And so, to wrap things up, my intention with all this sharing and bitching (lol kidding, just sharing my slightly aggressive opinions XD.) was to invite us into deeper self reflection and contemplation about our lives, the way we treat ourselves and others, and what we deem possible within the shared human experience. It is my hope to inspire greater authenticity and acceptance in others, because this is what is needed most of all at this time, in my opinion.

This human collective is in desperate need of love, connection, acceptance of the diverse nature of life, and a break from the constant demands and stresses of life. We are tired. We’re ready for change, and more people are giving up the fight to meet unrealistic standards everyday. Many of us are sick, sad and so confused about why we feel the way we do, what is really going on around us, and how we can improve our lives so we don’t have to suffer anymore. And in this “rock bottom”, in the defeat, desperation and giving up, we’re awakening. We’re remembering what life is really about, and reconnecting with what really matters. And most of all… we are not taking any more shit. Period.

So, my main point is, stop trying to fit standards placed upon you by your mind, by others, by the system, the patriarchy, who and whatever… stop fitting yourself in a box that is too small and confining for your natural radiance. You - a unique, individual facet of Source consciousness - came here to Earth to be YOU, not to be a copy-paste version of what society has deemed “good” or “acceptable”… Maybe you’re different from your peers, your family or social circles, and maybe thats a good thing? Maybe you don’t have to change yourself to be liked, wanted, accepted, and most of all… loved. Maybe YOU just have to accept and love YOURSELF, for others to accept and love you too, as you are. Love is radiant, as is fear… so choose wisely the vibrations you wish to radiate and the essence you choose to make up your energy field.

You are not a victim. You are not stuck, or trapped. You do not have to be forced against your will any longer if you choose to stand up and stop tolerating it. You do not have to do what you hate, what doesn’t suit you or what bleeds your life force excessively. Plot twist: you deserve to live a happy life too, not just the people on tv and in movies (and, another twist, they may not be as happy as you think..). You deserve to be radiant, inspired, authentic and creative in your life, and these essences are your birth right. You are meant to be a happy human being. You are meant to experience love, to give love and be loved. Life doesn’t have to be a hellish realm of fear, chaos and failure if we choose to go another way, to walk a different path and be the change we wish to see in the world.

This collective human experience NEEDS your unique spark, your authentic essence and the divine gifts you hold latent within your soul. Nothing is too weird, woowoo or threatening to people embodied in loving acceptance. When we accept ourselves and one another, we start to make the world a better place and walk the path of divine love. Choose your embodied essence, your choices and your path wisely… it may be the most important choice you make, on a daily basis.

I am sending you all so, so much love… thank you for reading this, and I wish you well on your endeavors as a member of this diverse human collective. To be human, to be ALIVE, is a gift. Let us remember this now, and each and every day moving forward…

Much Love & Namaste,

Sara Murray

esp (extra-sensory-perception) IS NOT REAL… to a portion of the population?

esp - a real phenomena, “all in our heads”, or a mix of both?

FEAR…

False. Evidence. Appearing. Real.
