Have you ever felt as if you ever been to the same place before? Have you ever thought that you just traveled backward through time and you were so sure of it? Maybe that thought you have is true. What if you were in the same spot before? What if you heard the same sounds around you? What if... There are a lot of "what if's".

Now, you may think I'm talking about that maybe you did the same thing a few years back. No, that is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the feeling you have, the realization you have that you might have just had in your lifetime. What if you did? What if you did just end up in the same spot you did? What if you sat on that same bench, eating lunch?

What if you walked with the same person you've always walked with? You talked about the same things, saw the same things as if it was a reflection of yesterday. Now with that in your mind, have you ever felt lightheaded when walking? What if you were walking upside down without even noticing? Do you know those glasses you can wear that looks like you're upside down?

What if the lightheadedness you felt was just your mind switching upside down until your eyes got used to it? You're probably wondering, "what about the other people around me?". Who said they weren't already coronated? What if that was the solution and doctors haven't figured it out yet? But then again, what if it was all inside your head?

Have you ever felt like you were being watched? Have you ever had that dread of paranoia that it's gotten so bad, you couldn't be at a place it affected you most at? Maybe you were just walking, minding your own business, as you felt you were being watched. Maybe up high, from a balcony? But you look up to see nobody up there.

Strange, don't you think?

Maybe you're just taking the laundry down, minding your own business, until you felt as if you're being watched. You searched your head throughout the place to see nobody. Hm, maybe it was just your imagination.

Strange, don't you think?

It's odd how people think, isn't it? Strange how people work. I find it fascinating how confused people get. Maybe you're confused about what you just heard? Maybe you're confused on what you just read? Let's take a few steps back, shall we?

We've talked about how maybe you've felt like you were in the same place. We've talked about how maybe you felt lightheaded and if there's a possibility for that. We've talked about how maybe you ever felt the feeling of people watched? Now, let's talking about something deeper here.

Have you ever been inside a basement? Or anything below ground? Something that feels dark, empty, and cold? Something that gives you that "off" feeling? Something unsettling? Maybe it was the horror film last night you say about this kind of stuff. Maybe it's a story you heard that gives you an "off" setting about it. Maybe, you just don't feel that way about basements, or anything below ground?

Have you ever watched a horror film? Maybe read a scary story? Have you ever seen something scary? What defines scary to you? Aliens, ghost, monsters, perhaps people? Was any of those your fears?

No? Let me be more detailed. How about hallucinations, a sound, maybe even a dream you had that still haunts you until this day? Did one of those hit you? No? How about a scary thought or maybe a rumor? No? Shall I go deeper into thought? Maybe it's the fear of being broken down?

Maybe it's the fear of being abandoned, maybe it's the fear of being lost, left alone, beaten, or forgotten? Yes? Good. Now, think of that scary time and put it where you've been below ground. Imagine it, imagine what could happen in that basement. Are you scared, uneasy, set off? Good, keep that thought there.
