Whenever I get de ja vu, I get it on different levels.  Sometimes I feel like I am living in the same situation, sometimes I feel like people, or the concepts that I have adhering to certain people, get in the way of me thinking through things; just when I am normally thinking of things.  One girl, for instance, that I went to high school with for a short period of time, who reminds me of how I looked like when I was very young, for some reason, reminds me of the beach, and having fun in the summer.  Maybe that’s because as a little girl you don’t do much besides getting by and having fun.  Maybe when I am trying to come to a new peak, or new evolution type thing in my life, the concept that someone exists that is able to get by being (sometimes) as immature as I was as a five-year-old gets in the way of me moving on with things in my life, of me being okay.

                There is the myth, or possibility, that people are able to see in the future, that they are able to anticipate what will happen next in their or someone else’s lives.  In my life experience I have come to realize that there are moments where it seems that it is possible that such things happen, but it is just in people’s minds.  There have been many times where there has been that border in time, in what has been going on, where it seems like someone knows what someone is going to say, immediately after that someone’s reply, in a conversation, but it is just coincidence that things happened so fast, one after the other.  For example, I’m sure you have had the experience where you are listening to the radio and a song comes on and before it starts playing, you already know what the song is going to be.  That’s happened to me a million times, but I think it must have something to do with how at the very second the first element of the song is exposed, that something inside of you that likes the song so much recognizes it, and you know it’s that song. 

                What would happen if people started to be able to see into the future?  What if people started to become clairvoyant?  Would everyone be able to read minds, or just some people?  Would it pass on over time?  What would happen if some people had it and some didn’t?  Would it be fair?  How would someone be able to decide that it would be fair if not everyone would be able to be telepathic/clairvoyant?  Would it be up to some higher being (God?)?  What chaos would come about if some people had psychic powers and some didn’t?  If you think about it, it would be completely chaotic, or completely on the down low- depending on who was psychic/clairvoyant- and who wasn’t.  If it fell into the wrong hands, the very place where we all live would be transformed, metaphorically speaking, into the devil’s playground.  People would be able to communicate without moving their mouths (if everyone gained psychic powers, would our voice boxes collapse with the progress of evolution?). 

                For some odd reason, I have thought of this/these scenarios many times throughout the past few/many months/weeks/hours/minutes.  I wonder what it would be like if such a thing happened; if, for some reason, by some power given from some unknown source, some people gained psychic/clairvoyant powers, and some didn’t.  What if the people that gained it knew each other, were acquainted?  What if they were a bunch of adolescents?  What if they used their newfound abilities to have fun, and at the same time to wreak havoc?  I would imagine these kids as the kids of the future; the new generation, what comes next; so even though it may not be fair that they would use their abilities to cause harm, it would still be important that they have them, so that the generations and people ahead of them would have them, and know how to use them, according to what mistakes and what good things would come about from these adolescents.  I would imagine it something like trial and error, something that would need to happen even though it may not necessarily bring about completely good consequences.  As they say: “You’ll never know if you don’t try.”
