...I saved a cat today :3
He followed me across the street while I was on break. Skinny and starving, we gave it a can of tuna and water. Sweetest personality ever. Unfortunately we can't have a cat (as a pet) on my office campus. So my co-workers are bringing it to a no-kill shelter tomorrow. Glad he is not out in the rain tonight.
...at first I called him Daemon, because I was pretty sure he was following me for a reason LOL
...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

You did a service to the Universe today. You should be proud :)
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...
It's all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!

You might want to place an advert in the Found Pets section of the local paper, to let whoever lost this lovely cat know where they can find it.

...in fact I think they had someone come forward already who said it might be theirs, but I'm not sure if it's for real or not. Two of my coworkers have been taking care of him for now, and he's doing very well but they are going to take him over to the vet Monday (we had a bad storm and flooding here the day after I found him, so we couldn't go then). I really want to make sure he gets treatment and finds either his owner or a good home. He's such a sweet kitty :3

So... Where does something like remote viewing fit into this picture?
I can't tell whether it's Mike Jay's review or Sacks' book, but if we accept this over-broad definition of hallucinations as aberrant artifacts of the brain, we may as well throw in imagination.
