Do You Feel Invisible?

In the article, “Invisible,” in the July/August 2011 issue of the Atlantic Magazine, one of the leaders in today’s science of concealment talked about a project he’s been working on for two years. Guy Cramer, owner of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation, has found a method that uses refraction to disappear objects.  He calls it quantum stealth.  It works by bending light around an object.  So far, he says, they’ve been able to make an object the size of an orange completely disappear.

I’m not a scientist, so I don’t completely understand these things…but I do have a fertile imagination.  This article made me pause… gave me some different lines of thought… and set me into another zone of quiet.  I began to think about some things, like, before I see an object disappear, or before I even disappear myself with a Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak…I need more in-depth concentration on listening to others; perhaps a shift in perception in what I’m hearing; and probably to take time for a deeper appreciation for what I’m giving my attention to.

Because one of the worst feelings in the world is to be treated like you are invisible.  To not be seen; to not be recognized in some way; or simply to be tolerated… is an injury to the heart.  It’s important that when you’re talking with someone…and especially when you’re socializing and dating…to give that person your full attention.  Ask questions, listen, and ask more questions.  When you can do this…no one will ever want you to disappear.
