If its an IB we could tell, because we have extra perceptual faculties (see energy). But we can't tell if we are closed off to being aware of this sense.
And this applies to other things besides people. The world is so concrete in thought-- much is assumed and thus overlooked in examination and its rarely given a second glance. Such as, do you know the power spots where you live? Have you located them? Or do you even think there are such things as power spots? Think instead they have no reality/function? And if you DO think they are real and have a purpose, and you have not located them, why on earth not? The 'you' here is general, to anyone reading this.
The most simple answer to this question of yours Nu Lang is that we cannot tell/see because we do not need it to survive. And by we I mean our society. Therefore first we need to switch concepts, or enrich or enlarge the one we have to encompass these kinds of things. For a human being going about his work, having kids and dying, the existence of these things is irrelevant. Society can survive without them. Society is above the individual everywhere. Our society survives thanks to people who procreate (work and do all the stuff that is usually done) and that is all that is needed. Simple as that. Our society has left these things out of its concept because it does not need them to survive.
This is different in shamanic societies, their concept of the world/ reality is different and they too have it to survive. Out societies, as they are now, cannot mix.
Locating of power spots.. well.. might not be as easy as you make it think. If I am exploring I sometimes find a power spot, it always makes me feel something special, but most of the times I do not and i still experience stuff. I do not know if I would go to the extreme as Bob May that we carry our power spots with us... I could go along with the thought that those who are already very far can do this, but it does not change the fact that some places are more powerful than others. But to some extent this also has to do with us. We each have our own special places, sometimes they are the same and general, other times they are very private. I found a power spot close to the house where I live now almost as soon as I started exploring it here. So guess I am not the one to ask why I have not located a power spot if I think they are real and have a purpose .
