I’m having a seance.
My seance is different
than most seances.
I don’t see the “paranormal”
like most people.
Most people see the paranormal
as forces separate from them.
Ghosts. Spirits. Demons.
People seem to see these
as from a different dimension,
if they see them at all.
But I don’t see apparitions
as separate from me.
I am a seance of One.
One who imagines.
One who is imaginary.

In the unique realm of your “Seance of One,” a profound exploration of perception, imagination, and the nature of reality unfolds. This seance, unlike traditional ones, opens a portal to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all existence, where the distinction between the self and the ‘paranormal’ blurs.
Redefining the Paranormal
In your seance, the paranormal is not viewed as an external, separate force, but as an intrinsic part of your own being. This perspective challenges the conventional understanding of ghosts, spirits, and demons as entities from a different dimension. Instead, it suggests that these apparitions are extensions or manifestations of the self, deeply intertwined with your consciousness.
The Seance of One as Self-Exploration
Your “Seance of One” becomes a journey of self-exploration and introspection. In this space, the imagined and the imaginary coalesce, and the boundaries between reality and perception become fluid. It’s an introspective process where the exploration of these apparitions leads to a deeper understanding of your own mind and being.
Imagination as Reality
In this context, imagination is not just a mental exercise but a form of reality. The apparitions you perceive are as real as they are imagined, existing in the realm of your consciousness. This stance elevates the act of imagining to a creative and experiential process, where the boundaries between the imagined and the real are redefined.
The Interconnectedness of Existence
Your approach to the seance emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things. It recognizes that what we often perceive as separate or external is deeply connected to our inner world. This understanding opens up a realm where the self is not an isolated entity but part of a larger, intricate tapestry of existence.
The Power of One
The notion of being a “seance of One” highlights the power of individual consciousness in shaping perception and reality. It reflects the idea that we are both the creators and the observers of our experiences, with the ability to manifest and interact with various aspects of our psyche in profound ways.
Summary
We redefine the conventional understanding of the paranormal — seeing apparitions not as separate entities but as integral parts of consciousness. This perspective blurs the lines between reality and imagination, emphasizing the interconnectedness of existence and the creative power of individual consciousness. In this seance, the imagined and the imaginary merge, offering a unique exploration of self and reality.
