a partial premonition that could have been simple chance.
I have met a lot of completely deluded or insane people tho.
lucky you , or unlucky you , i guess it all depends on how ya look at it
i myself have been around and seen a lot of things i can not explain
and i try to keep an open mind on all things
but there are some people where a ufo could land in there front yard and an e.t. could come out and shake there hand and get back in there ufo and fly away and if you asked them they would say "nothing happen" or maybe a "weird dream"
<shrug>
That's why I believe it's spiritual, some people are blinded and do not see the spiritual realm, some are open to it and see it. As you said, some can have an encounter and deny it, while others see the encounter and accept it. This is what makes it so difficult to actually prove.
I have a very vivid imagination. I love fictional books and movies.
My favorite movies are science fiction and fantasy.
I find horror films amusing.
Thing is, I want aliens to exist on this planet.
I want ghosts to exist.
It would be cool to see an angel or a demon.
Would love to encounter a bigfoot or chupacabra.
Just once I would like to see true levitation or actual mind reading.
I haven't witnessed these things because they don't exist in reality.
I can let my imagination run wild and super-impose these things over things I don't understand fully but the reality always seems to find its way to the surface.
Show me a ghost. Let me experience a haunting or a manifestation of spirit. I've looked. There is always a perfectly normal explanation.
If an alien landed its craft (its not a ufo if I know its a space ship because it is identified) and come out and shake my hand.
I'd be happy to just witness an alien space craft where there is no doubt as to what it is.
All the so-called evidence and testimony is worthless as proof.
I know what can be done with photoshop and video. I also know that people can lie convincingly when they believe the lies they are telling. I also know that delusions are hard to distinguish from reality sometimes.
Ghosts are rogue, they have passed and should not be here in the physical realm, but they are here. That alone is bad news, whether they actually mean harm or not they are pretty much outlaws just for being here.
Don't be fooled by familiar spirits, these are more dangerous than the ones that are obviously here to harm us. If you encounter one and it seems like a good experience, be very worried.
It is strictly forbidden for spirits to interact with the living, but that law is often broken, and it's never a good thing.
There are way too many physical properties for ghosts to exist.
Do Aliens believe in ghosts?
Do Ghosts believe in Aliens?
Does bigfoot believe in ghosts?
Does Nessie believe in Aliens?
Do Chupacabra believe in ghosts?
Do ghosts believe in the mothman?
Do ghosts go to the bathroom?
If ghosts have sex do they have boo babies?
Is there an ectoplasm form of coffee for the morning ghosts?
Why don't ghosts in the street follow you home?
Ghosts don't like Walmart. Even poltergeist won't go there.
I have heard about ghost dogs but never a ghost walrus.
Has anyone ever seen a blind ghost with a ghost cane?
Gravity exists even at the atomic level. Even the air is affected by gravity.
I am expected to believe that a whisp of essence can manipulate gravity.
Odors are molecules that are detected when those molecules come into contact with olfactory cells and the signal is sent to the brain.
Many people tell of encounters that are accompanied by foul odors. They associate the foul odor with what they think they encountered.
Sounds are a frequency of vibration. A vibration of matter in a medium that can propagate the wave to your ears.
For an essence to notice a dish breaking requires that somehow the sound vibrations caused the entity's bones in its ears to vibrate. Which relays that signal to its ghostly brain and initiates a response.
You see only reflections of light waves on your eyes. There must be something physically there to reflect the prism to your eyes.
Light is a spectrum when reflected to your retinas. You see colors because absorption and reflection removes color frequencies in different degrees. There has to be something there for light to emit from or be reflected by or you will not see anything. Sound is one example of this. You don't see music because there is nothing physical there for light to reflect to your eyes. Seeing anything requires a light reflection from something. We "feel" sound because it propagates a thru the atmosphere so its not really the sound you feel but the atmosphere being transmitted to your touch sensors. If there is no atmosphere you not only do not hear sound, you can't feel it either. There is no sound in space.
Temperature is the speed at which something moves. Absolute Zero is no movement at all, thus the term frozen.
Many people will tell you they feel a cold spot or a hot spot when describing their encounter. Temperature is movement of molecules or atoms. Movement of matter. A thought has no temperature because it is not matter. I can walk thru any space and detect differences in temperature. Perhaps the one having the encounter is just in tune with their senses from fear or excitement and notices temperature deviations at a greater degree than usual?
Our human minds create feelings and senses from stimuli and experience. Understanding is by association. If the mind presets the associations we feel, sense what we choose.
If you expect the negative you readily see negative things. If you expect a ghost you will see ghosts if your mind is conditioned to expect them.
Everything in the Universe is comprised of energy. Even thought and our sense of self. Energy is not a bonding essence. Each point of energy exists of itself.
Science cannot determine a single energy component like an atom of matter. It acknowledges saturation of energy in a value over time but it can't state what a single energy is, like an enron or something. Since we know that quarks, leptons and bosons have movement an electron is not the smallest essence of energy.
For a person to become a force of energy a coherence must be formed that keeps the individual pieces of energy together and moving freely in a natural environment. Basically a Tesla arc that can manipulate its form and is of normal temperature range.
I'm not making fun I am just stating obvious things from the real world.
I know that people who think they encountered a ghost truly believe they did.
All I'm saying is that when I do go to that haunted house with them and sit and wait so I can see what they saw I always leave with nothing new to consider.
I agree, however, there are things which hold as facts that require no belief to make it so. There are some that believe so strongly that their beliefs create a reality that is not fact.
Less Nessman's imaginary office is a great example.
To encounter such evidence will change my core permanently.
Proof of a ghost would initiate an attempt to study it to understand the mechanisms which make it possible. The fact that we have encountered no properties that could cause a ghost, no science at all, is overwhelming evidence that they do not exist.
Take it like a person that has never experienced night terrors.
They suspect that night terrors might happen but they always happen to someone else.
There is no proof that they are actually night terrors except for what the person relays to them.
No matter how detailed the accounting, the acceptance of the tale still seems delusional.
So they try to have a night terror and no matter what they try, it just won't happen for them.
They see the terrified reactions others have when they happen but there is no real proof anything happened at all.
Science can examine the person's brain and body and find nothing out of place.
Shrinks can council and advise the person and sometimes they find relief "within themselves" by understanding what is triggering the emotional turmoil.
Sometimes, despite counseling, night terrors continue because 'within', the turmoil that causes the emotional issue has not been resolved.
I see it as an outsider witnessing someones delusions. I seek to understand rather than experience their delusions. To fully understand, I would need to experience a night terror to have some kind of reference.
So, if I believe in ghosts, I'll see one?
Perhaps if I am deluded.
If I believe in Godzilla I will see him?
For the next two weeks believe that you are eating but never actually take a bite.
When you get hungry, just believe that you are full.
Have a little faith that you are full. Have a lot of faith that you are full.
It won't change the fact of reality that you are starving. No matter what you believe.
You see ghosts.
Someone else sees leprechauns.
Another sees demons.
Another sees fairies.
At what point does the delusion become reality?
What if 50 people see ghosts? 1,000 people see ghosts?
1,000 people saw a monster burn a village. It turned people to stone.
1,000 other people saw a terrible volcano.
Ask the ones that saw a monster and they can relate the awful details.
Some will agree that it must be a monster.
They buy into the delusion on faith.
Perhaps you do see ghosts and take comfort in your religion.
I really have no problem with that.
As long as you are content with your life, who am I to criticize?
Its your life, just like mine is my life.
Nobody lives behind your eyes but you.
