that I would bet the farm, is another human who has actually conversed with a supernatural being of any sort.
IMO, I believe we can "sense" other living creatures of many sorts, just as other animals can, but also that our very noisy heads get in the way of much of that. Animals farther down the food chain have much less internal "noise," and react in far superior ways to what they "sense." Our "sensing" gets "reason"-filtered, which ends up being ghosts, angels and gods.
Your comment reminds me of my cats. A fly has entered the house, which I know not because I have seen the fly, but because my furballs are suddenly all perfectly motionless, staring in the same direction. They're locked on, tracking a fly I didn't even know existed.
If the fly knows what's good for it, it won't land on the living room window, a couple feet off the floor. That's the cats' sweet spot for insect murder.
I might consider getting a cat if it would get rid of stink bugs. But I wouldn't like a cat with stinkbug breath on the other hand. I'm just too picky!

Your description reminds me of Lovecraft's images in his "Cats of Uthar"
"I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see.
He is the soul of antique Aegyptus. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa.
The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten."
The one thing I'm certain of, like minnieme and Tevai stated, we are all going to die one day. The other is that the LDS church is totally a cult and bullshit!
Me too, Boner. Just got in invite to a grad party at a family cottage at nearby lake....so gonna be drinkin' beer with others disciples of malted beverages!
With all due credit, and respect, to Tom T. Hall, "I Like Beer":
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned The fact that I like to drink beer This little song is more to the point Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer it helps me unwind And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much Vodka puts my mouth in gear This little refrain should help me explain As a matter of fact I like beer (He likes beer)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town And I'm wearing a suit and a tie She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth When I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer it helps me unwind And sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much Vodka puts my mouth in gear Well this little refrain should help me explain As a matter of fact I like beer (He likes beer)
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene And I went to a place so sublime Oh, the water was clear and tasted like beer Then they turned it all into wine
I like beer it makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer it helps me unwind Sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much And vodka puts my mouth in gear This little refrain should help me explain As a matter of fact I like beer (Yes he likes beer)
