I sometimes just intuitively know things and it has made me feel psychic. I try to make sure I'm grounded by researching our current scientific understanding of the world and by reasoning through the different possibilities.

I have wondered if I'm just storing more information in my subconscious that I'm not aware of and it's like the movie Limitless where the main character takes a pill called NZT to access that information. Like how you could be overhearing an audio book or glancing at a page in a book but you aren't consciously paying attention to it. This information could have been stored since childhood.

I am an INFP by the way. I'm definitely more disconnected from the physical world. I love traveling though. I have to pace myself and take breaks when I do because I feel like I'm processing so much information. Every day or 2 is an "off" day for me.

I subscribed to your substack because I have always related to Artemis. Not because she's a hunter, my dad is though and he has deer heads on his walls, but because I'm asexual and a Virgo. I'm a vegetarian and I couldn't see myself hurting some poor deer. I didn't even know what this substack was about 😆. I just downloaded this app the other day.

Welcome, Alecia! I'm glad you found your way here. Artemis is quite fascinating, multi-dimensional, with many aspects to relate to whether it is her expression as a goddess of the moon, being chaste, as representative of nature and its wild aspects, etc. I see her as a mythic patron figure of sorts for this publication, and for many areas of my life!

I relate to your feeling of being psychic, it's happened time and time through out my life in the strangest and most incredible ways. I wrote about one such experience here: https://alyssapolizzi.substack.com/p/the-hounds-of-diana

I do think we are storing information that has been taken in subliminally. All of those perceptions are housed in the unconscious aspects of psyche and can come into our awareness at later times. There also seems to be times when the intuition transcends that logic, how that's possible is a mystery to me.

Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts :)
