It's there but we can't see it (NoHN)

In chapter 11, Freud's Theory of Human Nature: Pansexuality and Psychoanalysis, there was a section on dreams. While discussing that section we began talking about the human consciousness and how much people are actually aware of. Something was brought up that struck my interest.  There are things that exist but because our minds can't comprehend them we see them as different things or we just don't see them.

A very obvious question popped into my mind; Isn't it totally possible for their to be things all around us right now that we can't see? If it's something that seems as if it can't exist in our 3-Dimensional world and our brain changes it appearance or makes it invisible, then who is to say that something, for example God, doesn't exist? In class somebody brought up a really great point that contradicts my thoughts. He said something along the lines of, if we can't see it then we shouldn't automatically start acting on something that might not be real.  Yes, that's a really valid point. However, how silly would it be to totally ignore the idea of things being around us that we can't see? They could be affecting us all the time. If things are going on that we don't understand and that science can't accurately explain, then who is to say that it's not the "fault" of these things our brains can't understand therefore we don't see?

I don't know. It just seems like an interesting concept...and totally possible.

  1. Your idea is totally correct I feel. The human eye cannot perceive the atom, or the particles that make up its construct such as the proton, neutron, and electron. It cannot see these objects, at least not without the aid of a microscope, yet that doesn`t mean they do not exist. There is also the problem of being unable to view objects that are very far away, such as objects in different states or different towns from us-even things that are hidden behind a door or wall. Yet because we cannot see them, does not mean the objects in question do not exist, and these are objects that are just in our own dimension. As you mentioned earlier, there could be objects or God-like beings that exist but we cannot perceive them because they exist in another dimension from us. Just because something cannot be perceived, does not mean it does not exist.

  2. There are many things around us that we cannot see, and because we cannot see them does not disprove their existence. There are so many things in existence we know not of,the fact that you do not know of something does not mean it is not there. It just proves how limited we are in the understanding of our own existence, this is a whole new dimension, and we need another "sense" to be able to be aware of our existence in the universe. Science cannot explain everything. Because there are some things that we know not of. What we know at this time is but only a fraction of the bigger picture. Let us set our sights on things that are above. Thank you A. B.
