YO.....Costa...
I wasn't trying to control people's beliefs, all I was doing was trying to explain them.
I mean...If you have had a vivid dream ( one you can remember when you are awake ) you can remember "seeing" things and people that were very real at the time.
All I am suggesting is that the human mind, ( a very complex piece of kit ), is well-capable of producing the same or similar pictures when you are awake.......( Ghosts...apparitions...hallucinations ? ).
Even more so if they are switched on by hallucionognenic substances !
They are all there in the subconscious just waiting to be liberated I tell you !
Lady Loofah.....
I must admit that the idea of the spiritualist realm existing is a fascinating idea but I think that every attempt to communicate with that realm in science has failed. Before any of this type of communication could be ratified it would need to be repeatable in laboratory conditions.
I don't think that it has yet !
I personally love the idea of telekinesis and telepathy where not only can you contact others by mindwaves but you can move stuff around using the power of your mind too.
I look forward to the first time that it is proven to be true but until then I must remain the ultimate sceptic.
Ghosts.....( pah ! ).
There are millions of reported sightings of ghosts and if just one of these cases turned out to be true then it would turn everything, religion science etc. on it's head. I've never seen a ghost myself and, weirdly, I just can't imagine myself seeing one but I know people who claim to have seen them and I'm inclined to believe them. Even though I don't know if a ghost is actually the spirit of a dead person, I believe that every living thing transmits some kind of energy and when we die this energy stays behind and I'm amazed that science hasn't tried to investigate this "energy" further.
Yo...Costa...
Cool down...cool down...you might burst a blood vessel !
All that I am trying to do is understand the phenomenon...OK ?
If you want to understand something that is scientifically unproven you have to stand back from it and keep an open mind.
If you are convinced that ghosts and ghoulies exist then fine...be that away...I just think that there is more to this than punters running around dressed in sheets going whooooOOOOooooOOOOooooo !
