Despite apparent simplicity of ‘deciding to notice’, developing the sensitivity to notice particular things, and to notice them when it would be useful to notice them when it would be useful to have noticed (and not merely later, in retrospect) requires effort.

The most prominent idea that this writing has provoked in me is this: Ghosts.

Though I am aware that this article pertains to the idea of noticing the waking world and the moments that we live in as we are living them, it also makes me think of the things people claim to notice, why only some claim to notice them and why the majority can’t or won’t.

The majority of people use the argument of not having proof that the paranormal is a part of reality simply because they have not seen or experienced anything that could convince them of its presence, but maybe they just aren’t noticing.

If this is the case, what else don’t people notice? There could be four different species of alien living among us but due to lack of sensitivity to noticing, they have gone unrecognised.
