The Heavy Stuff

One of the purposes of my posts on The Heavy Stuff (THS) is to provoke thought and critical thinking on any number of `issues’ of esoterica. And, in that regard, today’s post beckons the examination of the ludicrous - to be applied to what others would say is an `explanation’ of a  viable sustainable `Bigfoot’ population out there `in the American Woodland’.

Yes, I know I’m already making enemies with a certain segment of my regular `heavy stuff’ readership by being a curmudgeon by doubting `first person’ accounts by `credible’ folks of all persuasions. BUT, I’m not doubting those accounts for one second - let me explain. You see, I think `Bigfoots’ in nearly all or perhaps all situations - are `temporary entities’.

To me, one must favor the overwhelming evidence that not one creature has ever been found dead or brought fourth alive - EVER. Nor have any `artifacts’ of this creature. Not even scat. Not in the last 10 years, not in the last 50 years, not in the last 500 years - not EVER. Never ever.

It’s something that those who have seen the creatures with their own two eyes will have to live with - despite what is becoming `countless’ expeditions into the remote woods of America with high tech equipment for `proof’. It’s becoming to the modern person not `into’ the Bigfoot scene  - even the modern open minded person - `silly’ - and little more than occasional entertainment - watching a repeat -  on the History Channel on a lazy Sunday afternoon. (Even if Bigfoot enthusiasts think progress is right around the corner - which sounds a lot like those wishing for UFO disclosure.)

And, part of the reason the majority of serious thinking folks feel that way, is because they would want answers to serious questions — how can there be a sustainable population?  — being one of the first. And, other questions like I’ve raised above about a lack of a body, scat or artifacts. An entire supposedly intelligent entity most similar to man - without a culture? An intruding creature that NEVER ventures into an area with trigger happy men? Who never makes a mistake crossing a highway? A creature with dozens and dozens of descriptions and variations based on first hand descriptions?

Which brings us back to Gnomes. Yes, Gnomes.

Here is just one of several videos and pictures that have emerged in recent years http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/weird/article1817406.ece

there has also been this well written recent article outlining a Gnome history http://www.theparanomalist.com/the-latest/gnome-sightings/.

Hmm; two phenomena’s - both occurring over centuries and both seemingly able to `appear temporarily’ and in the real. However, one phenomena - Bigfoot - a more `modern phenomena’ in relation to common consensus compared to Gnomes - has believers who feel compelled to `try to explain it scientifically’ - by talking of `sustainable populations’ http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=sustainable+population+of+bigfoot&btnG=Google+Search and here’s almost 3,000 such references. Most of these references think that 1,000’s and perhaps as many as 10,000 Bigfoots roam the American woods.

It makes The Heavy Stuff wonder - just what would be a sustainable Gnome population be in the woods/worlds `hidden area’? Do they have migration movements too as suggestion by the Bigfoot believers?

Do they ever lose their hats?

OR, would the concept of temporal characters - a phenomenology idea of Edmund Husserl and my Phillips Phenomenology - be a more likely explanation for what is being observed in reality? A temporal character able to `exist’ until it’s intentionality’s expire or the beliefs in them. Something within the NOW memory and experiences of a space (human) as opposed to a being within the outside reality.

This quasi real - temporal character - `able to not be’ - space — even could leave `objective’ evidence - regardless if it does or does not have a permanent `space’ in our reality - as it IS a temporary real.  If you dig deep enough into this website you will find that I believe there are four types of entities - Gnomes and Bigfoots - are just one of them.
