Death.

“Death is defined as the cessation of all vital functions of the body including the heartbeat, brain activity (including the brain stem), and breathing,” so says the Answers.com Medical Encyclopedia.
It is a part of life, and always has been. Not that the simple fact of this eternal cycle makes it any easier for us, as mortals, to accept. It is the final journey in life, as we know it. Eventually, death will happen to all of us, claiming us, one by one. What is death? Is death a mystical curse from supreme beings, an alien virus?

 

Not hardly.

Death is simply the final stage of being alive. Few realize that in breathing oxygen, and exhaling carbon dioxide, a chemical reaction takes place at the cellular level, oxidation. We age because of this reaction and simply, we rust.  The very act which sustains us, breathing, is the very one that will in the end, kill us. It seems that nothing is free of irony.

 

For most of us, death is a natural, peaceful process that occurs slowly over time, usually ending in a sad, yet gentle transition to whatever phase of existence seems to be beyond what we can see with our eyes. For others, however, this transition can be anything but peaceful, and at times, it seems to be the stuff of nightmares or our worst fears made manifest.

 

For the murdered, the angry, the suicidal, the tragic accidents…for each of these a human personality or “soul” is involved, each unique in its like, and each time that an unnatural death or unwanted death occurs, for these poor people, it disrupts that natural flow.

 

These types of deaths rip them from their bodies, tearing lives apart, leaving deep emotional memories in the environment or even, rarely, the person themselves, trapped in a limbo, always seeking to escape their one last horrible moment only to be thwarted and left in a darkness that will never end.

Now, we shall explore my theories on what a ghost is, how they are made, and how we can help these people become free and set them on the right path to whatever lies beyond in the Unknown.

 

 

 Scientifically speaking, there should be no chance of an afterlife. We are born, we grow and age, learning from mistakes and hopefully making something of ourselves, and then we die and wink out like a candle flame when the wind blows hard. Orthodox science rejects and denounces any possibility of a spirit or soul. There are two types of scientist, to begin with. Here is the first type.

 

They do not investigate or give credence to the non-physical because it does not follow the laws of physics, as they understand them. If it is non-physical then it does not exist is the attitude of the Type A scientist who are most often university sponsored, or quasi-scientists who claim to know absolutely, how reality works, and that their word is law, such as the group of well-paid and under educated group of “scientists” at CSICOP, an organized group of men and women who claim to be investigators of paranormal phenomenon, who often walk away making a mockery of the victims and the researchers who have committed their lives to having a deeper understanding of this world. This is not paranormal research. These people are not scientists.

 

 

Type B scientists are rare indeed. They are people, men and women, who get out of their armchairs and get out there, in the field, and investigate, experiment, learn and sometimes, sacrifice everything they have to expose the truth and learn that this world is not a simple environment like we would be comfortable in accepting but rather a complicated intricate web of energies and things we are just now acknowledging. This type of scientist is the paranormal researcher and investigator.

The Type A Scientist often forgets a key principle that is as plain as day that could very well prove that life after death is entirely possible.

Mind over matter.

To understand mind over matter, we must become clear on one point. The brain, the organ that is, is completely different and separate from the mind, which is the personality of a human being.

The brain is thing of flesh and blood. It feels no pain, and is still not understood by humans, despite our years of research. It is a thing of electrical impulses that fire faster than the speed of sound, and is composed of tiny pathways, each a key to the Unknown side of our natures, the Mind.

The mind, you, your personality, spirit, what have you call it, is separate from this flesh, because of concept we still cannot comprehend: consciousness.
We are entirely self-aware and the actions we do everyday, laughing, smiling, crying, emotional torment, and fear, and yes, even love, are controlled by something other than flesh.

 

 It is like symphony orchestra, all in near perfect balance, but we cannot locate the conductor of this orchestra.
Besides being conscious, you are unique.
Let us test a theory now. I believe in mind over matter. Do you? Experiment to find out who is right.

Hold your hand up.

 

Open your fingers and look at them. They are physical. They are matter. Made of atoms and charges, flesh and blood. They are not alive and do not have a mind of their own. They are not behaving instinctually. Now, close your fingers and make a fist.

Open it.

 

Close it.

 

Now think about what you just did. Surely, it was your brain who told your fingers to move via thousands of electrical impulses firing from nerve synapses faster than we could ever hope to achieve.

 

Ok, acceptable.

 

Now, answer this.

 

Who told your brain to give the order to fire? What organ did that? What gave your brain permission or the order to fire the impulses, which in turn traveled down the nerves and into the muscles and tendons, causing them to contract and release?

The better question is who. Not what.
The answer is simple.
YOU did.

Nevertheless, YOU should not exist scientifically because you are a non-physical entity residing in a vessel of flesh and blood, rather like a robot to put in somewhat less poetic terms. You are the signal to the antennae who in turn broadcasts the signal to the listeners.

This fact makes science very very uncomfortable. Moreover, they will most likely stammer a quickly built explanation, composed mostly of jargon, because their real answer is: I do not know.
So, with this knowledge, we must now ask ourselves, what is a ghost and how are they made?

This next bit is a bit tricky, but with some help from other researchers, I think we can explain it fairly well, so please bear with me. The following paper by Ron Millone of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) explains this rather well:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, what does this mean in relation to this paper? Simple. That ghosts are scientifically possible. As Ron continues to explain, we shall see why.

 

 

 

 

So, at the time of natural death, a person’s brainwaves change frequency into a state resembling semi-consciousness, or the closest thing to it, a near dream-like state, stuck between waking and sleeping, which all of us have experienced at some point, that terrifying feeling, frozen in a limbic state where we are conscious of what goes on around us but unable to wake, trapped under the heavy veil of sleep.

Our hypothesis is going in the second direction of the Electromagnetic Survival Theory, which states at the time of death, the electromagnetic frequencies of the brain switch over, allowing a peaceful release of the spirit or soul of the person.

 

So why the ghosts?

This gentle electromagnetic switch-gate is the door that allows us, the unique essence to leave the now useless shell of the body behind and continue onto the next part of existence wherever that may be.

But what happens when something interferes? What happens if this electrical process is disrupted?

These studies have been done on patients that die naturally, peacefully, usually in a hospital bed, surrounded by loved ones or others who care, trying to make their passing as easy as possible.

There have been no studies of people who die violently. Naturally, this would be both unethical, and highly unlikely to be possible. However, in an afterthought, what about these murders, suicides, accidental deaths, and those who simply do not want to leave?

I have come to believe that the sheer will or the event that makes such a tragic death occur somehow circumvents or shorts out the electromagnetic shift in frequencies. When this short circuit occurs, it somehow traps the spirit of the person in limbo between this world and the next.

 

I also believe that if people want to hold on to their lives strong enough, that their sheer will and emotional attachment can disrupt the electromagnetic frequency shift and trap them as spirits.

I hope that I have not bored you to death, but more next week as we explore the difference between a ghost and a spirit and how to help those that are trapped between this earth and the next life.

Thank you sincerely for your time.
