In Search Of: Stories and Experiences

Like the Ghostbusters said: “I’m ready to believe you!”

A long time ago, when I started this site, I had some pretty fancy ideas about what it might end up being.

A lot of those have “aged out”–either no longer being relevant or other places do it better (often because they’re not just “one person who often gets distracted by other things” operations)–but one idea is always near the forefront and never goes out of style.

The Searcher Journal here, while predominantly “about” my own search for meaning, is also about all the other “weird” things that I’m into. If you look back through the past posts, you’ll find stuff on psychic research, ghosts, demons, and all sorts of other little tidbits mixed in among the talk of spirituality and self-discovery. It’s kind of a grab-bag of strange and unusual in a lot of ways. Just like life in general.

In short, this is a place to talk about experiences and interests.

It’s easy enough for me to go on at length about mine (just ask anyone who’s gotten “trapped” in an hours long conversation with me about various bits of esoterica), but I already know all of my own stories.

I want to hear yours.

Talk to Me, People

I’m a month and a half back into the swing of things here and it’s time to really get a conversation going. Maybe start setting the groundwork for a bit of a community.

Everyone I’ve ever met has had something strange or unusual happen to them in their lives. Sure, sometimes it’s easily explainable, but that doesn’t change the impact it may have had on them. And sometimes it’s an experience far beyond what most people would consider “normal” and, just to exist in “polite society”, it doesn’t get brought up very often.

Either way, I’m always up for hearing about your experiences, no matter how silly you think they may be. I assure you, mine can seem pretty ridiculous, too (and sometimes they most certainly are).

Have you ever seen a ghost? (A lot of people think they have.) A UFO? (The government have video of a lot of strange things in the sky, so, you’re definitely not alone there.) On your spiritual path, did you ever have a chat with a higher being of any sort? (Be it an “angel” a “spirit guide”… there’s a lot of different ways our idea of the Divine can communicate with us.)

Don’t want to talk about that time you thought you saw a ghost or Bigfoot or whatever? No problem. What kind of things are you curious about? Ask some questions. Tell me what you’d like to see show up here in the future.

We Create This Together

As humans, we have an amazing ability to create things out of nothing other than ideas in our heads and a little bit of work. Since I’m putting this site out into the world, I don’t think it should be a fully solo deal. I want anyone who stumbles across it to feel like they can take part in the creation, too.

We create this together, or it’s just me talking to myself.

Which is all good and fine, but I already know all my own stories. (And the punchlines to all my jokes.) There’s more chance to learn new things when there are other people involved.
