To counter all of this, I walked. For miles, I walked. In all kinds of weather, I walked. It’s what I do when I’m stressed, depressed, angry, or just in need of a break from life. I walk. In rain, fog, heat, snow, ice, day or night, spring, winter, summer, or fall—I walk. Primarily, it’s because of my centering (moving part of emotional—I express my emotions through movement). So, I was out walking, probably the second or third time that day.

I walked up the hills and down, noticing very little, while my mind skittered from one topic to another. As my thoughts tumbled over each other, the shadows grew deeper around me, and the day, which had been so bright just moments before, was suddenly cast into dusk. I looked up amazed to realize that the sun was nearly gone. The sun was hidden behind the moon, with only the slimmest of its edges remaining, and even that was dimming rapidly.

That’s when it finally seeped into my consciousness that I was experiencing the full eclipse. I vaguely remembered hearing something about there being a full eclipse of the sun that day, but with my mind on so many other things it wasn’t a fact that I had fully noticed.

Now it was dark, as dark as late evening, yet it was only a little past noon. I reached skyward as if to pluck the dark cover from the sun, and felt, for a moment as if my feet had literally left the ground.

Startled, I dropped my hand and looked back at myself. I was still on the street, shadows gathered around me, and my feet firmly planted on the pavement. I looked skyward again, and once more, I felt a compulsion to release my hold on the Earth and fly.

I ran forward three steps and jumped, sure that I would find myself soaring through the heavens like some caped superhero. And in some ways, I did. Although, my feet never actually left the ground, I felt as if they had.

I was, somehow soaring miles above the Earth, racing with the clouds and looking down at the Earth from the heavens above. It was surreal, yet it felt as real to me as the body I wore. I hovered in a tree top and watched the world go by, then soared up into the clouds once again, to frolic with a flock of birds.

Just as the corona began to peek out from behind the cloaking moon, I saw a brilliant light before me. I reached out to touch it and it evaded my reach. I extended my arm as far as I could, and just when I thought I would never be able to reach far enough, I touched it.

My whole being burst with joyousness beyond words, and at the same moment the sun escaped its dark mask and the world, for me, was lit with a brilliance from both inside and out.

The next thing I remember was picking myself up off the ground where I lay at the base of a large old oak tree. I felt giddy and light-headed. I could barely maintain my balance, and my face was split by the biggest smile I could possibly wear.

I wanted to sing, to fly, to dance, to run, to twirl. I was blissful and ecstatic, and the feeling lasted for the rest of the day.

When people asked why I was smiling, I had no way to explain it. But it was infectious, because although I couldn’t explain why I was smiling, everyone I encountered ended up smiling, too. It was impossible for me or anyone near me not to smile.

All bad feelings went on hiatus that day. I had touched my soul and soared with essence, and I was sharing those good feelings with everyone I came near.

We probably spend at least one-third of our lives sleeping, and according to researchers, at least a third of that time is spent dreaming. Yet, we still know so little about dreams. What are they? Where do they come from? Do they have meaning? Why do some people seem to dream and others not?

Dreams have intrigued and fascinated people for centuries, from before the time of the ancients up to today. Through the years, people have constantly sought answers to some of the mysteries surrounding dreams. Some of those seeking the answers to dreams have used the ‘common sense’ approach, others the ‘fantastic’ or ‘divine’ approach, and still others, the ‘psychoanalytical’ approach.

People are so fascinated by dreams that even many of our literary works are filled with references to them. The Romantic poets such as Wordsworth and Coleridge seemed especially susceptible to translating their dreams and nightmares into prose and poems. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) also translated his dream imagery into literature. Lewis Carroll created a whole world from several dreams he had, and he wrote these worlds into his well-known books, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass.

When Alice entered her dream world created by Mr. Carroll, she entered a world that many of us are familiar with. It’s a world where reality changes from moment to moment, and the rules never seem to apply. You see things and people as they are, and others as you wish they would be. Also, like Alice, dreamers are confronted by their fears. Alice faced the ultimate in fear when she confronted the Red Knight. Even though she felt the unreality of the situation, it seemed real to her. It seemed so real that when the Red Knight told her she would cease to exist when he awoke from his dream, that she not only believed him, but was terrified that she truly would cease to exist.

Sometimes, it is only with this kind of dream imagery that an author can bring across the intense emotion and fear that he needs to for his reader to understand a situation or character. It’s a type of powerlessness that comes across, a feeling we’ve all experienced at one time or another. A feeling that our life is out of control, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Most of the time we wake up from a dream of this sort, panting, in a cold sweat. These types of dreams also seem to stay with us all throughout the day. I think Cathy (Emily Bronte’s heroine in Wuthering Heights) probably said it best, “…these dreams that stayed with me; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.”            

Shakespeare was exceedingly fond of using dream allegory, and even wrote a play about dreams and dreamers called A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Shakespeare was quite aware of the impact of dreams on people, and he used this to help the audience relate to his characters. Prospero, the magician from the Tempest, suggests that life is merely a dream, “…We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.” Edgar Allen Poe expressed much the same sentiment in his poem, A Dream Within a Dream, when he said, “…All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream.” This may lead one to wonder then, which is the dream and which is the reality? Maybe asking that is the ultimate confrontation with ourselves. Because if we can’t face ourselves in waking life, perhaps we have to do so in our dreams.

Today, many who believe in the fantastic approach to dreams think that dreams are messages from some other plane of existence or contain some esoteric wisdom. Some even believe that the soul itself leaves during the night to seek knowledge and wisdom on the astral and other planes. Many researchers seem to combine the three approaches.

Most of them think of dreams as a means of communicating, not only with our inner selves, but also with our bodies and, perhaps, even with those in other realms. Researchers have found that dreams let us access information that, while awake, we keep hidden or are otherwise unable to see clearly. When faced with decisions or problems, dreams sometimes can even help us define the answer or solution. Professor Kekule stated that it was a dream of a spinning snake biting its own tail that gave him the clue to his ring theory. The ring theory is the basis of the constitution of benzene, which finally emerged as the benzene formula. A formula that revolutionized chemistry.

It is a well-known fact, that outside stimuli can, and does, affect dreams. But even when confronted with outside factors, the mind usually blends the stimulus into the dream without losing or corrupting the overall meaning or flavor of that dream. A sleeper can be dreaming of an overcast day, and incorporate the dripping faucet into the dream as a sprinkle of rain.

Through their imagery, dreams help keep us in touch with what is happening in our own bodies. If, for example, you dream of baking bread, you are warned of a possible illness. The recorded incidences of psychic dreams have filled volumes. So, it’s not surprising that modern researchers are more open to considering the possibility that telepathic or clairvoyant communication can occur during dreams. Some have even gone so far as to admit to the possibility that dreamers may somehow even be able to foretell future events.

I know many of my own dreams have been filled with imagery and, quite a number of them have even shown me glimpses of the “future”—choices that essence has made and no amount of balkiness on ego’s part is going to change, or choices that others, who are important to me, have made, and they want me to “know” about their choices.

When I was young, I used to have “forewarning” dreams all the time, along with numerous dreams that were exact duplicates of the day I then lived. Evidently I spent a lot of time in the lower astral planes “practicing” things, because I remember spending a lot of time while in grade and high school going “Wow, didn’t I just do this?” or “Wow, didn’t I just dream this?”

As I got older, I either didn’t need as much “rehearsal” for my days, or I’ve just been too busy working with other people and trying to help them with their issues that I haven’t had time to live my days two times (once as a dream and once in ‘real’ life). So, many of those types of dreams have ended. But I still get the occasional dream message from someone else showing me what they have planned (usually a death or major accident) so I’m not caught unawares.

But I still spend a great deal of time dreaming—and I still pay close attention to those dreams. Because most times there’s a whole lot of wisdom packed into those short, ephemeral images.

Actually, the dreams lately have been remarkably clear, although the images themselves have been decidedly bizarre. After each dream I awaken knowing perfectly well what they mean, despite their strange images.

For instance, the last dream had me walking with my dad and entering a strange home. The house was large, but shrouded in shadows. I opened the large, double front doors, and we entered a shrouded, dimly lit entry room, but it was like no entry room I’d ever seen. The room was larger than my current living room (which is about 20 x 18) with a ceiling so high, I couldn’t even see it. The wall color was a mottled maroon or red, and I felt as if I had entered a funeral parlor rather than someone’s home. There were people clustered in the corners, hidden within the shadows—I could see their shapes and hear them whispering—but my father hurried through the room to one of the doors at the far end. There seemed to be about 6 doorways, but my dad knew exactly which one he wanted, and he grabbed the door handle, pulled it open, and slipped through just as I nearly caught up to him. Hesitating just a fraction, I, too, went through the door, which he had left ajar. The first thing I saw was my mother (who has been dead for about 8 years). She was standing by a bed packing things into a trunk. The only light in the room was cast by two lamps, one on each nightstand, which left most of the room shadowy. My father had rushed over to my mom, so happy to see her after all these years, and while she was smiling at him, she never once stopped putting things into the trunk. Yet, my father seemed to take no notice of this odd behavior and continued to chatter to her, telling her everything that had happened in the past 8 years.

Suddenly I felt very tired, and all I wanted was to sleep, but looking around, I realized that I couldn’t use that room, not with my parents there—and they showed no signs of leaving any time soon. I walked over and touched my dad’s arm, but he brushed me away and continued chattering with my mom, who continued folding and packing (where she kept finding all these items to pack, I don’t know, there weren’t any bureaus or anything). Realizing that my father was determined to stay there, I went back out the door I came in. But now it seemed as if every light in the world were on. The room was so bright as to be nearly blinding. I reached over and found some light switches, but when I flicked them down, it didn’t seem to help. The light was still blinding. I had thought that I could simply curl up on one of the couches in this room, but with the light being so bright, I knew that I was going to have to return to my own trailer (that’s what my mind in the dream called it—yet, in reality, I live in a very nice concrete and stucco home). Stumbling through the brightness, I found the front door again, and leaving the whispering and shuffling people behind I went back outside so I could get some sleep in my own “trailer”.

So, what does all of that mean? Well, to me it was rather simple—the large, house was my translation of the astral plane. I was astral traveling with my dad (not that he’s dead, but he’s getting closer to letting go of the physical plane, and as part of that process is his need to work through some remaining issues). I act as his companion and guide on these occasions, so I work at maintaining a sense of “reality” that is acceptable to him.

The entry or living room that we passed through was the transitional plane—a plane that functions as a way-station for those going to and from the astral levels and the physical plane. Those waiting to be born into the physical plane can go there and monitor their physical plane families, while those whose physical bodies die go there until they decide what they want to do next. That’s why all those “people” seemed shadowy—they’re some of the people that are “waiting”. 

The door my father went through was a door leading to his particular “death” reality. When he dies, he expects to see my mom waiting for him. I saw her packing a trunk, because I know that for my dad to move on he is going to have to go through a lot of “baggage” carried over from his current life—baggage having to do with his relationship with my mother, and baggage having to do with his concepts of life and death, and all the other types of baggage each of us carries with us from our current lives.

His dismissal of me was merely my own awareness realizing that my “job” of helping my father find his way was done. He didn’t need me now, he and the astral representation of my mother would work things through (until my dad awoke in the morning—although he never remembers any of these wanderings). Hence, my sudden feeling of intense sleepiness was my own body telling me to come home.

The bright light now shining in the entry way/living room was the brightness of all the souls (including mine) that were waiting there, that’s why using a light switch wouldn’t work…you can’t dim a soul when it’s non-corporeal. We are light, and we are extremely bright. What you can do, is not “see” the soul as it is (bright light), so when I first entered with my father we saw shadows and a dim interior, because my father has an internal vision as to what he believes “heaven” and the afterlife to be like, and it doesn’t include a true vision of the soul. He still believes in heaven and hell and so expects my mom to be waiting for him so that they can travel to heaven together. Therefore, when I astral travel with my dad, I need to respect his views and allow the “scene” to be observed in a way that is acceptable to him.

The “trailer” that I needed to return to was my own body, and my reluctance is (to me) understandable. I have grown weary of the physical plane and would much rather continue my studies and experiences in the astral levels, but it’s not time yet. So, although I wanted to remain, the brightness of my soul (and all the others there) convinced me that I needed to go back to my body to continue my “waking sleep” – my life.

I have no problem with this premis, or philosophy (if you will). It’s the basis of many religions and philsophies. The rub comes from one group who says that our goal in life is to shed the personality (maybe not all at once; it can be done one layer or trait at a time) until we are “perfect” and no longer controlled by our personality, but only by the essence or soul.

This is what I have an issue with. If we chose the pesonality traits because we wanted to experience physical life (with those traits), then how can our goal be to shed those same traits that we selected? And if we do shed them, then we are no longering experiencing life as the person we chose to be. Now, we are experiencing life as some sort of impersonal demi-god (think ascended beings, those of you who are Stargate fans).

It is personality that creates the dramas we call life. If we had no personality traits (such as impatience, greed, arrogance, self-destruction, martyrdom, and the like) then we wouldn’t want to participate in any of life’s dramas. After all, without personality, the dramas have little meaning. Think about it — If you weren’t impatient, would you care whether the person in the front of the line was taking forever to pay for their stuff? If you weren’t greedy, would you care if you didn’t have all the power, or all the control, or all of the money? Essence (or your soul, if you prefer) doesn’t care if it’s rich or poor, powerful or powerless, that’s why there’s the need to take on personality traits in the first place. The soul isn’t corporeal, so it isn’t intensely involved in the physical plane and the little day-to-day dramas. If you add a body without personality traits, you have a corporeal ascended being — it walks and talks and can be seen on Earth, but it still has little connection with what is occurring. Now, add a body and some personality traits, and you have a human being — a human being interested in taking part in and creating their own bits of drama.

It’s the addition of the personality that makes you human. It’s the personality traits that add the individual foibles, desires, and needs, and thereby enables you to participate and create the individual dramas that are a part of everyday life.

So, why remove the humanity that gives us our purpose, that supplies our experiences, and provides our lessons? Isn’t it better to recognize what your particular personality traits are, and so note when you react to them or with them in a negative way? (And I’m not particularly referring to man’s laws here, but more the pandimensional rules that keep life — all life — in balance.) For instance, if you’re dealing with greed and someone has something that you decide you absolutely MUST have, recognize that your trait of greed is reacting, and try to make sure that you act in a positive way. Don’t give in to the temptation of simply taking what you want, or cheating the other person out of what you want, but rather try to find a way to obtain your desire while dealing fairly with the person who has it. (Balance).

Perhaps you’re feeling impatient, and you want to simply cut into the front of the line, but is that the best way to handle things? Couldn’t you simply ask the manager of the store to open another register?

Of course, it’s not easy to think fairly or logically when you’re in the throws of one of your personality traits (I know, I deal with my impatience all the time), but then that’s the lesson, isn’t it? Learning how to cope with the personality traits that you selected, without creating imbalances. So, if life is supposed to be a series of experiences and lessons, and the personality is what gives us those experiences and lessons, why would our goal be to remove our personality?

Just something to think about

I made it halfway down the stairs and stopped. Down below me were echoes—memories—of energies expended in that house. The energies were hostile, and angry—not with us, after all, the images we were seeing weren’t alive, not in that sense. These were merely echoes of several people who had previously lived in that house. The echoes were of violent arguments and the negativity from these events had completely tainted the basement area and was slowly permeating the entire house.

My husband could see the look on my face, and knew there was no way I could live with these echoes. So we made excuses and left as quickly as possibly.

We could have “cleaned” the house, but the emotional turmoil wasn’t worth it to us. It was easier to simply continue searching for until we found a house that was either more neutral (no echoes of the previous owners) or more positive (positive echoes from the previous owners).

You see, everyone leaves “echoes” of themselves behind on the things they touch and use—this includes the homes (condos, apartments, houses) that they live in, or even the messages that they email or write. Most people’s resonances (or echoes) are gentle, non-invasive and usually easily overlooked, even by sensitives (unless the sensitive is deliberately looking for the echo). However, if extreme emotions are involved (passion, hate, anger, guilt, depression, etc.) then the object, letter, or home takes on those energies and, depending on just how emotional the people were or how long the emotional turmoil lasted, the echoes can be very strong. The stronger the echoes, the longer they may linger. In some instances they can remain for centuries.

What we had picked up in that basement was the type of negative echo that could, possibly, last for a dozen or more years. It was very strong and very negative. Sometimes an energy cleansing can eradicate these types of echoes, but sometimes the echoes are so embedded in the home or object that the echoes simply won’t be removed.

I’ve had a few occurrences like that. A friend of mine had purchased an antique end table—it was a beautiful piece, with inlays and carvings. However, I couldn’t stand the thing. The energies embedded in the wood were so strong and so persistent that being in the same room with the table actually made me physically ill.

She and I tried neutralizing the energies, and we tried to override it with positive energies, but finally she simply gave it away to someone who seemed totally insensitive to the piece’s echoes.

Therefore, knowing that our chances of overcoming the echoes in that particular house were not too good, my husband and I decided to keep looking.

It was several months later when we drove by a house for sale on a small secluded street. We had gotten lost, and so had driven by the house simply by chance (or so we thought, anyway). We noted the information on the sign and the next day we called our agent.

When we walked into the house, we were immediately surrounded by the fragrance of lilacs. “How strange,” I thought, “Lilacs in January.”

We continued touring the house amidst the fragrance of lilacs and I realized that this was no echo. This time the previous owner was still attached to the house. Sometimes those who die suddenly refuse to accept that they’re dead, and sometimes they refuse to let go of those physical plane objects that mean so much to them.

Most of them don’t remain very long because eventually they do realize that they’re dead, and maintaining a presence in a world where you no longer belong is hard to do. So, eventually they have to let go. However, the previous owner had only been dead a few months (it was her middle-aged son who was selling the house), and she had had the house built to her precise specifications (so her son was proud to tell us). That meant, to me, that she had a lot of herself invested in this house, and she was watching out for it.

When we had seen every room, and after I had fallen in love with the house, we turned to leave. Everyone had gone out the door, but I lingered a moment, still smelling the scent of lilacs drifting through the house. Turning towards the living room, I whispered, “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of your house.”

A gentle breeze wafted out of nowhere and stirred my curls. Like a caress it touched me, and I knew that the woman who had owned the home had heard me.

We bought the house and moved in making very few changes, because the paint colors and carpeting all suited us fine. But she came several more times after we moved in—just to see if I was keeping my word, I think. Then she simply stopped coming by. After all, we had taken good care of her house. And I think that once she realized that we loved the house almost as much as she had, she let us be.

I, like the character in the television show ‘Medium’, however, do have dreams of events that later occur in my life. However, unlike Allison Dubois in ‘Medium’, the events I dream have never included murder, and the only deaths I have dreamed of are usually those of family members. Usually, though, my precognitive dreams are of much more mundane matters, those typical day-to-day events that make up normal living.

When I was a child, my dreams were filled with the banal—I would dream of a conversation taking place between one of my teachers, and one or more of the students, and the next day that exact conversation would occur. The conversation wasn’t anything Earth-shattering, or even anything all that interesting. It might be that one of the students would ask a question regarding the Battle of 1812 and the teacher would then launch into an answer—as I said, not all that interesting. Yet, my nights were filled with these types of ‘revelations’.

It became so commonplace for me to dream of the next day’s events, that sometimes I wondered what the point was of getting up and going to school just so I could go through it all again. After all, if you’ve heard the conversation once, why hear it again?

When I went on to Junior High School, one of the classes I had to take was typing. The first day of typing was horrible. I couldn’t figure it out. The finger placement seemed totally alien, and the whole rhythm of the typing itself was like some foreign music that I simply didn’t understand. That night I dreamt of nothing but my fingers flying across the keyboard and the words magically appearing on the paper. The rhythm was no longer foreign, but seemed a part of my soul.

The next day when I stepped into typing class, my heart was racing, and I was sure everyone would be laughing at me again, as my fingers stumbled over the keystrokes. Instead, when the teacher told us to start typing the exercise, I was the first one done, and with absolutely no mistakes. I couldn’t believe it. Then I remembered the nightlong dream filled with typing, and realized that this time, my prophetic dream was actually an astral visit where I taught myself how to type—literally overnight. That’s when I began to see some use to these dreams I kept having. If I could teach myself to type while dreaming, maybe I could ‘memorize’ the answers to the tests in a dream and save myself from having to study.

As much as I would have liked to have ‘learned through dreams’, that wasn’t to be. Instead, my dreams took another giant leap forward in a different direction. Now, I started dreaming of what was to happen to my friends, and family. But these dreams weren’t just for the next day. In fact, they were usually weeks, maybe months, into the future.

I remember seeing my father decked out in his uniform and being handed some official-looking piece of paper by an officer while surrounded by others from his department, and they, too, were all dressed in their formal uniforms. It was all filled with a lot of pomp and circumstance and I kept seeing the letters SGT.

Well, about a month later, my dad announced that his captain had selected him to take the sergeant’s exam. I told my dad that he would do great, and he simply gave me an indulgent smile. He knew that I had no idea how difficult the exam was, but then my dad didn’t know what I did, either—that I had already seen him being awarded the promotion.

As I said at the start, the dreams of death aren’t often, and they usually pertain to someone close to me—uncle, aunt, grandparent, etc. The most memorable dream I had in this capacity involved my uncle, Uncle M. He was one of my favorites, being a scholar-cast artisan, we got along quite well. He taught me all about photography, and nature, he let me spend hours sitting in his workshop while he turned ordinary pieces of wood into beautiful guitars.

One night when I was 14, I saw my uncle walk out of his front door and down the walkway toward his car, which was in the driveway. It was early morning in the dream, and he turned and gave a little wave to his wife (my dad’s sister). Then, as he turned back toward the car, he blew up. There was a flash of flame, the sound of an explosion, and then nothing. I sat straight up in bed, panting, and overwrought.

It took me several hours to calm down, and when I finally went back to sleep, I found myself dreaming of my uncle again. This time he was in his uniform (he worked for one of the large airlines as a chef—this was at the time when they still served real meals on air flights), and for some reason he was walking across the tarmac toward one of the large jets sitting there. I saw myself running after him, yelling for him to stop, but he didn’t seem to hear me and continued walking away from me. Just as he reached the stairs going up to the plane, the plane exploded killing my uncle.

Again, I sat up, but this time I turned on all the lights and refused to go back to sleep. I watched the clock as it the time crept toward morning, all the while dreading the news that I was sure would come with dawn. But dawn came and the phone remained silent, and nothing happened.

Each morning for the next two weeks, I would awaken early and wait, dreading the news that I was sure would come. And for two weeks, nothing happened. Finally, I convinced myself that it had simply been a dream, and everything was fine, and I stopped hovering near the phone at the crack of dawn.

2 months later, I came home from school to a saddened household. My mother told me that Uncle M. had died that morning as he was leaving for work. He had gone out to the car and had a massive coronary—his heart had literally exploded—killing him instantly. I was horrified. I hadn’t said anything to anyone about my dream, because it seemed so silly. Yet, at the same time, I had believed in it enough to wait for that horrid phone call every morning for 2 weeks. Now, I kept wondering if I should have said something—after all, maybe I could have prevented his death. Maybe if I had said something, he could have seen a doctor, gotten a magic pill, or one of those operations that people had when their hearts were bad. Instead, I had done nothing.

For the longest time, I refused to allow myself to dream. I didn’t want to know what was going to happen—good or bad. I mean, what good was it, when I couldn’t stop good people from dying? As for the good news, well, most of the time is wasn’t all that good, it was simply mundania from every day life.

After about 3 years, though, I realized how cut off I felt. It was as if part of me had been imprisoned. There was vital information out there that I wasn’t getting because I wouldn’t allow myself to, and I realized that I didn’t like the feeling. I needed, and I wanted that information—no matter how mundane it may seem. Somehow, those dreams kept me in contact with the whole world, with the universe at large. Without those dreams, I was deaf, dumb, and blind in a world full of sharp edges and unexpected pitfalls.

By allowing the dreams back into my waking life, I’ve allowed myself to link up with and interact with many more people than I would have ever had the chance to meet here in the physical world. Because by allowing my waking self to remember my dreams again, I also allow myself to remember all the astral visits I make.

I’ve also allowed myself to remember those prophetic dreams again, and even though they may not allow me to stop things from happening, they do give me ample ‘warning’ so that the choices I make in response to the events aren’t made strictly through emotions. There’s a bit of thought and contemplation behind those choices, which helps me stay on the best path for me.

I’ve warned myself when I’m entering a new lesson, or when someone else has made a choice that I wasn’t expecting and which is going to affect me, and they have continued to alert me to those around me who are going to die. But that’s alright, because you see, I’ve come to understand that death is just another aspect of life, and everyone has to experience both sides of that coin—life and death. Knowing about someone’s choices ahead of time, simply lets me be a bit more prepared, that’s all.

I’m one of those that is quite aware of auras—mine and others—because I use my aura to “see” the world around me just as easily and frequently as I use my eyes and other senses. To me (and, I suspect, to many others), the world and everything and everyone in it is comprised of energy I can see, and energy I can sense. The waves of energy comprising the auric bubbles that surround each of us is an energy capsule that flows through and around us.

Therefore, they never “hear” the information that their energies have gleaned from its encounters with the various objects and people they encounter in their lives.

This capsule of energy, which surrounds us, not only flows around us, but it also generates waves that flow outward and back, much like the waves on a beach. We generate these waves from the very core of our being, and when these waves encounter another person or object, the energies merge—for less than a nanosecond—then separate.

Our energies flow back to us, but within this inward flow now is a myriad of information about that person or object we just encountered. Most people are so immersed in the dramas of life, that they pay no attention to this ebb and flow of energy. They are focused on the “noise” of the physical world, and not the inner messages that their auras bring them.

What types of information can you obtain, if you learn to listen? Well, in terms of people, you can learn the person’s mood, their physical, mental, or emotional health, and sometimes the actual thought that was flitting through their mind at the time your energies met. All of this, and more, is carried within that returning wave of energy; and it doesn’t matter if that person is someone you know intimately, or someone you interact with on a regular basis. Even if the person is someone you are simply passing by on the sidewalk as you walk to your car, your returning energy wave could provide you a whole multitude of information about them—but only if you “listen”.

However, most people have chosen not to listen to any of the information that their returning waves of energy bring. In fact, most people don’t even think about or acknowledge that they have this capability. Of those that say they do want to be able to “hear” this type of information, most will find that fear prevents them from following through on that ‘wish’. Although, many people say, “Oh, that would be so great if I knew what someone was thinking…” or “Geez, I wish I could know what someone was really feeling…”, when it comes down to it, fear holds them from following through. Because we all have the ability, but how many of us really want to be “different.” Most people don’t really want to “hear” what others think of them or feel about them. Let’s face it, most people consider their thoughts private, so feel free to think the worst about someone knowing that that someone will never know how they really feel (at least at that particular moment).

Then you have the cynics and skeptics, who doubt that what they’re experiencing is real. Eventually, they grow so accustomed to ignoring the information, that they no longer “hear” it at all.

For those who are still in tune with themselves and do take the time to “listen”, there is a need to learn how to filter the information. Can you image the “noise” that you would have if you “listened” to every returning wave’s download of information? The din would be deafening—though maybe not in a physical sense. It would, however, overwhelm your internal senses and perhaps even cause you to have a nervous breakdown.

Even using filters, those who are perceptive may find themselves overwhelmed when encountering large groups—especially if the group is emotionally charged. It doesn’t matter whether the group is angry, happy, or zealous, the wall of emotional energies can overcome the perceptive individual who responds either by exhibiting the same emotions, but without understanding its cause, or by becoming enervated and headachy. (The best solution, in either circumstance, is simply to put distance between yourself and the crowd.)

Also, not all information that is received is comprehensible. This is usually caused by incompatible energies or frequencies. The incompatibility can be momentary or permanent. If you are momentarily flustered or over emotional you may find that someone you used to be able to read is now not as clear (like a radio station that’s badly tuned in). The same situation may occur if the person whom you can usually read easily is overly emotional during a particular situation. They may not be completely unreadable; there may simply be gaps or static in areas where none previously existed. This is because the heightened emotionalism changes the frequency of your energies, thus causing you or your friend to be “unreadable” in those areas.

Other times you may encounter someone whose total energy frequency just doesn’t mesh with yours. Consider computers. If you’re using a Mac, you can communicate with other Mac users very easily. But if you encounter someone who’s using an IBM-like PC, the communications become a little more difficult. Say the other PC has Windows—okay, there might be some areas of compatibility. But if that other PC user only has DOS, now you might only understand a few pieces of data here and there. Well, each of us is similar.

Your innate abilities to understand what information your energy waves are returning to you is there, but not everyone is “speaking” the same language. Each person vibrates at a specific rate, and each rate is different—maybe only by a fraction—but that difference is enough to keep you from reading them. When you try to read someone whose vibrational rate is much slower or faster than yours, you may find you’re hearing just a lot of “noise”. That’s because of the incompatibility of their frequency to yours, their vibrational rate.

The vibrational rate of each of us is a strong determinant of how much information we can decipher from each person we meet, and it also determines who we may find appealing, and who we may find abrasive. Your vibrational rate is comprised of all the factors that create you—your body type, your experiences, the climate in which you live (yes, the climate affects how fast or how slow your energies flow), the choices you have made in this life, your thoughts (at the time of the encounter), your emotional state at the time of the encounter, and your intentions (at the time of the encounter). These all play a part in your vibrational frequency.

Two incompatible frequencies instead of flowing through each other and then smoothly returning to their respective “owners”, may clash. The waves crash into each other rather than merging gently and smoothly. This crash is instantly reported to you, and the common reaction is then one of mistrust or instant dislike. You may find yourself instantly at odds with them and finding reasons to hurry away. On the other hand, if the frequencies are close matches, then the exchange is smooth and instantaneous, and you may find yourself wanting to linger.

Another factor that affects your vibrational frequency is those people that you have gathered within your auras. Every time you meet someone, on some level you don’t even notice, you make a choice whether to keep someone within your sphere of contact (within your “orbit”). You may choose to keep them at a distance, thereby only loosely enclosing them within your aura, or you may wish to keep them close (such as a lover or family member) thereby enclosing them more tightly within your aura.

Each person is making these choices, and each person or animal that they enclose within their aura subtly changes the frequencies of those they choose, as well as their own frequency.

Therefore, to “read” someone else, your innate ability has to adjust and compensate for all these fluctuations within your own frequency. While you may have been able to “read” your best friend ever since you were little kids, you may find that now that they have grown up and taken on different people within their sphere or orbit that you no longer find their thoughts so easy to interpret. Perhaps now you find yourself struggling to gain even the most basic of readings from your friend—such as their emotional state.

So, while you may be very adept at reading someone while young, once you both become adults and your interests and companions change, you may find it more difficult. It isn’t because you lose the ability, but it may simply be that those you were used to reading are no longer so compatible with you. Your energies may have shifted to a frequency that no longer flows easily with or through theirs, therefore the information that used to come so easily to you now may require more effort, or may not come at all. By the same token, you may find it easier to read other people that before you never thought you could.

Mood has a big impact on the flow of energies. It can make it harder or easier to read someone. If someone is depressed or afraid, you may find it more difficult to read them, since their energies will be pulled inward and flowing closer to their physical form. Meanwhile, those who are happy or physically active have energies that are more expansive and therefore, easier to access.

The energies of those who are feeling loving and accepting also flow more outwardly, because love and acceptance is an outward flowing emotion and it causes your energies to expand, while fear and depression are usually aimed at yourself so cause the energies to pull inward. Fear and depression also can cause the energies to flow more quickly, thereby creating a more solid barrier, another reason why people in those moods are harder to read. However, love and acceptance cause the energies to expand and slow, thereby making them less solid and more easily penetrated.

The main point here, though, is that being able to read (or hear) another’s moods, thoughts, or physical well-being is not an ability just open to a few “select” or “special” people. Everyone in the physical plane can do this, they simply need to open themselves to the experience, and be aware of what is happening. However, most people are too involved in the physical plane dramas, so do not wish to acknowledge this “noise”.

Also, those who are so involved in their day-to-day dramas have usually forgotten about this ability, and so don’t even acknowledge that this “noise” exists, so they don’t even think to ascertain if it has meaning or value. That’s why these same people notice when someone comes along who has remembered, and does take notice of the information coming back to them. Unfortunately, most often this person is regarded with fear, skepticism, or awe. While the first two reactions tend to cause the perceptive person to refrain from sharing their readings with anyone else, the last response can actually cause them to “invent” more information than they really have simply to continue the awe, which they misconstrue as respect.

So, whether you are receptive to the information coming at you through your aura or not, you certainly have the choice to be. It’s up to you whether you want to listen and it’s up to you as to how much of the information you actually take in.

GHOST

We live in a day and age where science and religion has stripped us of freedom. We are trapped by society, standing at the bottom of the mountain. Time, space and energy are hard to contemplate, but look deep and long enough, and the truth is slowly made clear. There are people who can bend metal with there minds, heat things without touching them, see things across the other side of the world without leaving the room, this has all been scientifically tested and proven to be legitimate but most is still not scientifically explainable so it is thrown aside as crockery, and as more people just plainly accept that “magic” is impossible by scientific reasoning , society will continue to lock the most important doors in the hallway. By the end of the paper you will understand how belief, desire and willpower can change the outcomes of the universe. Open your mind, don’t become trapped in the reality society has confined us to. What are you scared of? Science is starting prove a lot of these things are possible, every experience in my life proves it when the right logic is used to examine it. The possibilities are endless and it may sound ridiculous but not to the more intelligent person. Most children think they know it all but when they look back as an adult they see how truly naive they once were, and the human race is only just taking it’s baby steps. Yes, I realize it is contradictory to say I know the answer, but I see a society oblivious to the true wonders of the universe and I know those who believe should enjoy this read. I obviously don’t know the whole answer but every bit helps. If you think your hand is solid, let me shatter that thought for you, atoms are actually 99.999% empty space, and the particles that make up atoms are semi-existent. If you believe we are the only conscious, self-aware beings in the universe, think again. I don’t want to get into aliens but they are of great significance. Anyway lets get into it.

I have studied general physics, quantum and particle physics, string theory, modern day magic “chaos magick” backed by scientific theory and chaos mathematics, plus numerous other cults and religions. I can only come to one conclusion. It is undeniable. We can manipulate reality with our minds. Our mind can effect the outcomes of reality, even if this outcome is supposedly random. I will first describe to you my model of “reality” and how the mind can be used to manipulate the system. The mind is essentially a part of this system, evolving out of nothing, through pure probability. Also I am assuming throughout this paper that energy, particles, electro-magnetic radiation and all forces really are the same thing just in different states. Energy.

Lets start with some knowledge. It is seen in chaos mathematics that a totally probabilistic system can form patterns when it becomes complex enough, from complexity comes simplicity, and that one tiny change anywhere in the system will have drastic implications on the whole system. Also, these “particles” that make up atoms are partially in existence, popping in and out of existence and traveling in a probabilistic, wave like motion. They only exist based on probability, fluctuating in and out of existence/parallel universe, a bit like your television screen, it flashes so fast it looks “solid”. Experiments have proven that energy is constantly appearing and disappearing, even in a vacuum containing not a single atom. The point is that everything we see is the result of one thing, just a very complex system of energetic fluctuations, but at some point the system is only the warping and fluxing of one thing, nothingness, space. If you warp space you get energy. I believe if you stretch space, pulling from two points, a string of space between the two points will contain potential energy. I believe these are the building blocks of everything, tie the space into a knot so that it can’t neutralize and you have a basic “particle”, maybe a quark, maybe something much smaller. I’ll call them space strings, remember this for a bit later.

We truly did come from nothing, and from this nothing we can draw energy. This is what they call zero-point energy in modern theory, I don’t think scientists really understand it, all I know is that they say it is energy extracted from the quantum foam. I will first try to explain the “quantum foam” they refer to, how it formed our universe and how energy can be extracted from it (“quantum foam”, Aether of nothingness, or just Aether, they all mean the same thing throughout this paper). About an hour after first posting this paper I came across a post in a metaphysics forum where someone had given perfect description of what took me hours:

“What I do know about time comes from my own mystical experiences. And what I know is this: There is such a thing as ‘Pure Motion’. No light, no sound but pure unadulterated motion amidst the purest of what I can only describe as absolute ‘Darkness’.” Unknown Author

If I’m sure about one thing, and one thing only, it’s that time is infinite and the only way to measure or try to explain it is to experience it. First our planet was in the center of the universe, then our sun and now our one universe started expanding at the start of time… So was the big bang the beginning of space and time? This is the assumption scientists make today. OK. So if I travel to the end of the universe will I find an end, a brick wall? Of course not, there will be something behind the brick wall, I can always keep going further. Then lets say I turn around, I could also travel forever in that direction. Now lets look at time, was there a start? Huh, but what’s before that? There had to be something, see what I’m saying? Don’t let the idea seem abstract because numbers go for ever in a linear fashion as does time, if you now start counting backwards you can go forever. So time is infinite, has and always will flow. We can also say time is infinite because even if the universe imploded and there was nothing left at all, time would still pass, random energy fluctuations throughout space would take place and a new universe would eventually form when the right interactions between these random energy waves takes place. It would set up a stable system that doesn’t rapidly decay back into nothing. Can energy appear from nothing? If so, does this energy really exist? You can’t pull something from nothing, but what are the chances of absolutely nothing happening in the infinite time and space available? So these space strings inevitably occur, chances force the warping of space, but for extremely short lengths of time. So what happens when they begin interacting with each other? These “burps” of energy, zipping around and interacting with one another started to show patterns arising, from pure probability. It was the dawning of chaos. I won’t get into detail, but by extremely rare chances stability presents itself, space ties it’s self into a knot and the energy involved is unable to decay back into nothing and becomes trapped, bound, losing a level of flexibility, gaining certainty, becoming a “particle”. Now let us say two of these “particles” as we call them interact to form a new stable system on top of the old, building upon it, adding complexity. Again, the probability of such an occurrence is even slimmer, giving this level more certainty. Can you see what I’m saying? As the chances of existence decreases, the certainty of such systems will increase, and as the complexity slowly grows the system will slowly become something that we can call tangible and “real”.

Each level of the system will add complexity and certainty to a system (eventually forming elements, crystal structures, humans etc). When I talk of the different levels in a system, just think of your body. You are made from your organs, muscles, blood vessels etc, and those are made from cells, and cells are made from various chemicals, chemicals are made from atoms, atoms are made from leptons and hadrons etc, etc. Chemicals like H2O are more complex than atoms, but the atoms bond together to build a more complex system overall (chemicals), and with complexity comes arrangement, patterns and certainty. Although the actual nucleus of each atom won’t change much, they will become slightly more bound due to the new complexities added to the system but the outer most level of a system will become the most certain. Going backwards, looking into atoms, you lose certainty at each level. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot measure the position and momentum of an electron at the same time. This also explains why the interference pattern caused by electrons is more measurable than larger objects are composed of trillions of atoms, each containing numerous electrons. So a single electron is less bound, it has less certainty, it is able to exist in more than one place at one time, its wave-particle duality will be noticed, and it will interfere with itself (lookup the double-slit experiment). When scientists dig deep enough they will literally find nothing, they will rip apart some semi-existent particles and be left with nothing as the resulting energy rapidly decays.

Back to growth, lets say we now have a few of these basic particles and they start attracting each other, “clumping” together and growing in complexity, eventually the system will become so large it becomes unstable (highly energetic) and explodes, shooting basic particles outwards, from here the big bang can explain things, but everything was all once bound in a single system, and they do remain bound at some fundamental level, in some fundamental way. Everything in our universe remains bound together in some way, a big spherical entangling of space strings expanding at the speed of light. So slowly things build up into a universe, planets and stars form, slowly life occurs and evolves, inevitably resulting in the spawn of man kinds self awareness, not to mention the countless aliens. What were the chances of life first occurring on Earth in a mineral concoction as the theory suggests? What are the chances of anything existing? There is an infinite amount of space and infinite possibilities, universes will form in an infinite amount of places, in the infinite space available. There may be an infinite amount of universes, but each is finite, there are an infinite amount of numbers but each have finite values. The modern day big bang theory can describe what happened after the explosion but not before it, and I think the events that took place before the big bang hold an important answer to an important question.

So I haven’t really explained how this entwines with magic. I should hope the word magic is redefined as “something highly unlikely occurring through the use of only willpower and belief” but who knows. Well as you may have realized the systems of reality are totally random, probabilistic and chaotic. Basically, when you make a decision you are enforcing certainty, choosing one or the other, if you feel certain it will happen you are enforcing certainty. Your brain and thoughts are essentially a part of the system, you are made of the particles and atoms that form out of the way I have described, and all systems are essentially connected is some way, so you can gain “root” access if you know how the system works. Your enforcement of certainty can change the outcome of the certainties that make up the system, you add to the equation your certainties, and change the overall outcome. The certainties that make up the system are formed through random occurrences, they are chaotic, but your conscious mind changes the picture. You can enforce certainty, belief is the key, if you are 100% certain you can manifest gold with your mind it will happen. Your thoughts will manifest out of the “Quantum foam” if you enforce enough certainty into the equation. You should have heard a lot of stories about truly believing to make things happen or where people lift cars to save loved ones. Try to make the connections in these stories, think about things most people don’t. Most people instantly dismiss such ideas as it sounds beyond likely, that may be so, but does it mean it’s impossible. No matter how slim the chances, the possibility exists. They can lift the car because it is in the heat of the moment, their mind will speed up, time will slow down and they will have nothing in their mind except saving that person, nothing else, no thought whispering “this will never work, it goes against everything you know” and so it works. From theory comes reality. I think that our experience of time depends on how fast our mind can process information. When you experience an adrenalin pumping situation your mind speeds up, your whole body speeds up and time seems to go slower. I have experienced this many times and I’m sure others have. When your waiting/bored time will go slower because your brain is in 1st gear. So the person believes that they will save their loved one and their mind extracts from the Aether the extra energy required to lift that car and overcome gravity. If our thoughts are powerful enough and concentrated in the right way, the system will show changes that may seem external but are actually very connected to you and responsive to your input. Remember that one little change in a chaotic system (a change in thought) will result in big changes throughout the whole system, your change will resonate through the system, down it’s limbs, into it’s roots and finally into the aether of nothingness from which the tree of life sucks it’s essence.

A simple summary of the process: when you believe, you are adding to the equation your beliefs, your certainty. You can add your certainty into the outcome of any system because everything in our universe is connected, chaotic, probabilistic, and you are a part of it. Every object in the universe is the sum total of random probabilities, your certainty will change the sum total and the overall system. Your thoughts and beliefs have probabilistic value which, and when exerted upon any system will change the final outcome. Being conscious and connected to everything in the universe allows you to enforce probabilities into a system. Any extra energy required to build and stabilize this new state can be extracted from the “quantum foam” or from existing systems. So in this way we can manipulate reality and manifest realities from the Aether of nothing, not create our entire reality like some quantum physicists may say, most of what we see is the “patterns” that have come from chaos, a natural result of time, obviously something like a television is the result of conscious input but give it enough time and one would naturally occur, your brain is extremely more complex than a TV but yet we exist. You can take from, add to and change any system. Changing a system of reality is very different to manifesting a reality from nothing, changing a system usually means giving or taking Aetheric energy from a system. When giving, you can pass on your own energy, extract energy from surrounding systems then pass it on or channel energy directly from the aether and pass it on, using it as you obtain it, but in any case it must first go to you because your intent is the force guiding the energy, your mind acts as the middle man in the transfer, from you the energy will flow along the fundamental connections that bind the universe into one system and into the desired “sub-system”, (so you don’t get confused I should say that I only use the term “sub-system” here to get across the idea that our universe is one big system and I usually just use the term “system” to make it easier). The opposite happens when extracting energy from a system. When taking from a system you can expel energy back into the aether and store it in your system (the static aura will grow as you take in energy, more on this later). When manifesting realities, you are starting with nothing and building a system that is very closely connected to you.

Lets talk about auras in relation to manipulating reality. Strong auras will be seen around healthy and vibrant people. By using subconscious enforcement they are changing the normal outcome of every cell in their body for a healthier or better looking outcome, usually unaware that their positive mindset and personality is a great benefit. By changing the outcome they have enforced a system different from the original. This system may have a different energy volume, so to achieve this, energy must be taken from the Aether of nothing. This produces an aura. This is the same thing as giving and taking energy from systems, the aura is just an indication of what’s taking place. So in simpler terms if you had a rock you could take or give energy (mass times the speed of light squared=energy) from it using enforcement. If you had an aura measuring kit you could measure the mass lost or gained by the change in aura strength or color, whatever you would measure it in. A rock normally wouldn’t have an aura if no one was concentrating on it because it is in a static, stable state, not changing much. Now lets say I wanted to levitate. I can measure the energy of my system as my mass volume times my distance from Earth times the acceleration due to gravity (I am assuming me and the planet are one system since we are connected). So in floating my distance and energy level changes, the energy level of the whole system changes (me and the planet). The difference in potential energy is the total energy I would need to extract in order to float to a given height and energize my system to the required state. I can slowly extract energy, floating to the required height. Once at that state no extra energy is needed. I could meditate there all day. Also there are no forces acting horizontally (if you negate air friction) I can float around parallel to the ground without expending energy, all I need is the power of enforcement (really, because everything in our universe is connected, you are changing the state of the system on a larger scale and will need energy traveling in any direction, but less horizontally). I could also start at the top of a building and slowly release energy from my system, floating to the bottom. There isn’t much energy required in overcoming gravity but it comes down to getting energy not getting enough of it. There are situations that require more energy than usual, such as teleportation, since you are wanting to change the system quickly (your position), a sudden burst of energy is required, this is where the art of attaining enough energy might become more necessary.

There are two ways a system may be changed - changing the energy volume of a system and changing the state of a system, changing the energy volume of a system will change the state but the state can be changed without changing the energy volume. Energy will always be needed to apply work to the system and change it unless absolutely no resistance is present, even if there was no resistance the system still needs energy input to get it to the required state. So unless you are lowering the energy volume of a system you will need to draw energy from the aether or use your own energy in order to change a system. When lowering the energy volume, like say cooling a cup of water using enforcement, the heat energy lost will be converted into aether energy and you will receive this energy. Everything is interchangeable, aether energy is the most fundamental type energy. Nikola Tesla called it cold electricity, I believe Tesla was the most intelligent man to ever walk the Earth and his successes are greatly undermined in todays society, he catapulted society into the age of electronics. He was a mysterious man who got most of his ideas from vivid hallucinations he would experience daily. When Tesla died his research documentary was declared top secret by the Government. Tesla found a mechanical way of resonating with the universe, using the perfect frequency, he could cause enormous amounts of energy to pour out of the aether, he had found a way to harvest pure and powerful energy directly from the aether. He built motors that would run forever and even built a car using such a motor. He lit an entire field of light bulbs placed only in dirt. In total he came up with over 700 different patents.

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” Nikola Tesla

We always have an aura because we are living beings, always changing, learning, thinking, growing and “enforcing”. But wouldn’t I need energy to move into a higher state to increase my intelligence and strength? Yes, this is why I conclude that the aura is a signal to what energies we are drawing in, I call this the “dynamic aura”, but there is another type of aura formed around highly energized people, I call this the “static aura”, it is how we store excess aether energies. Eating provides a natural process of extracting energy from existing systems (food) and storing it chemically, not from the Aether. Evolution built it into all animals by a random process of survival of the fittest. As I said before only the person’s mindset can benefit their health beyond the capabilities of the natural process. We advance and recharge quickest in our dreams or in meditation because the spirit leaves the body in a subconscious state and tunes into the “Aether world”. Astral projection is simply leaving the physical body in a conscious state. The dynamic aura is a natural, subconscious way of drawing in aetheric energy and is a result of evolution, some people are naturally better than others but the skill can be harnessed consciously through the right mindset. Thoughts require Aetheric energy because they are forever changing and increasing in complexity, unless the person is degrading themselves with drugs and/or negative thinking. As the mind grows it also increases it’s ability to draw in energy and compensate for it’s development. Your mind is rapidly moving from thought to thought, changing, needing energy to account for the changes, but when you have a thought it usually stays on the same subject for a while, the changes are always small and similar until you move on to a totally different thought. This process contributes to your overall dynamic aura and this is how the mood of a person can be read from their aura. The similar energies they draw in through the similar changes in similar thought produces distinct patterns and colors, if you get what I mean.

As a spirit you will exist in a very basic form of energy, not having a physical body to chemically extract energy from the universe. You will need energy in traveling or trying to advance your mental state, in fact your mental state is constantly changing, so unless you can keep your mental state static and don’t move at all you will use energy. We all have the natural ability to draw in energy from the aether but is it enough to exist in the afterlife? When undergoing astral projection I know that the “cord” connecting your spirit to your physical body is a way transferring energy from your physical body to your spirit form. Upon death the mind undergoes a great realization and your ability to manipulate reality also increases. I suspect a lot of spirits cannot handle the energy requirements without their physical body supplying extra energy. I suppose if you used too much energy in one hit you might destroy yourself but if you take it easy you should be fine as a spirit. There are some advantages to having the conscious ability to manipulate reality at will in the afterlife. Why do you think rooms go cold when powerful ghosts make an appearance? Clue: Heat=Energy. Answer: If the ghost wanted to become visible or move something, it will draw in energy from the surrounding systems, such as warm particles in the air, to increase it’s energy volume, it would now focus it’s energy into the most dense form, making it more visible. This is why most focus into orbs. If it wanted to move the object, it would use the energy it had gained and put it into the object, manipulating its state. It draws energy from existing systems and not the aether because this is much easier, the energy already exists, lowering the level of certainty required. I hope this has opened some minds out there and I hope It wasn’t to hard to understand, I tried to keep it simple so every one could try to contemplate such ideas and concepts.

!UPDATE!

In no way do I direct the comment “what are you scared of” towards scientists. I direct it at those scared of what they cannot explain. Scientists are looking for the answers, uncovering how our world works, while loosening the grip religion holds on us. Science isn’t without it’s set backs though, it is bound by rationalism and logic, restricted to the conditioned mind and in need of a change in perspective. Also, I am not hijacking science to help my “beliefs”, they are not religious beliefs, I am purely scientific and logical, but open minded, enabling me too dig into the heart of reality, if you say I haven’t thought enough about it, if you believe you cannot make yourself levitate or leave your physical body you haven’t thought about it long enough, you haven’t looked at all the possibilities. I am trying to show the science behind magic, not tear science apart. Science has proven a lot of these things and is slowly revealing more, here are a few facts: a man in Russia can bend things with his mind, he has been around for a while. Several astronauts working for NASA have admitted to seeing alien spacecrafts, NASA has released footage of such occurrences and professionals are unable to explain them, they say the only explanation is that they are highly quantized energy crafts, my explanation is they are energy crafts manipulated by the aliens minds, or they are just an energy mind, a mind made of aetheric energy, a spirit. A man in Australia recently built a zero-point generator that runs forever, requiring no fuel. Quantum and Particle physicists have done tests with random number generators and have shown how a person can “enforce their will” to influence the results in the out come of these number generators, it worked. A few thousand monks lowered the crime rates of a major American city by gathering and meditating in the city, the crime rates dropped by 25% and the Chief Executive Officer of the police department became an author in the study, and for years laboratories have taught astral projection, but I don’t need proof about ghosts because I have seen one, and my dead grandfather killed my grandmothers unborn baby after he died at war and she re-married. She used one of those Ouija boards and the room went cold after asking what gender her new baby would be. The board answered NO and her baby died a week later. For those who ask me to explain magic without coming up with some crazy theory, I can’t, and I only explained the formation of the universe to get across some ideas, my theory doesn’t require it. Also the world works in crazy ways, a lot different to the way classical science predicts. So ridiculous sounding theories are inevitable. My theory would work if the following was correct:

-everything is connected in some way
-the universe is chaotic and probabilistic
-a conscious mind can change the outcome of random events
-as a system grows in complexity it gains certainty
-there is an aether and it contains potential energy

Now lets review a few rules of Quantum physics:

-all particles are popping in and out of existence
-any particle can exist in more than one place at any one time.
-any particle is also simultaneously existing as a wave
-at some level everything is connected
-the observer can collapse the wave function of such particle waves simply by observing it
-a particle may interfere with its self
-only certain energy levels within the protons, electron orbits or even within a lattice structure are allowed
-energy and mass are interchangeable
-empty space fluctuates with activity.

Some physicists refer to the wave nature of a particle as the probability waves, they are the positional probability waves and they either constructively or destructively interfere with other positional probability waves to change the resultant position. Thus the two slit experiment shows one electron interfering with its self because its positional wave is spread out spherically, wide enough to seep through both slits and it will act much like the simple water version from this point, two little probability waves will come from the slits and interfere with each other, the probabilities are combined and a resultant position is determined for the electron, and because probability fluctuates as a wave an interference pattern on the screen behind will form. Now the scientists put a camera next to the slits to see which one it actually went through and it goes back to acting like a normal particle, producing a predictable two slit pattern, lacking any wave characteristics. Could it be that the scientists were certain that they would see which slit it went through, that they enforced it onto one path, instead of it existing in multiple places and interfering with itself, did you also notice how the much “realer” the particles became when certainty was enforced. The observer becomes attached more closely to the particle, every aspect of the experiment will increase the observers connection with the particle, giving greater complexity and certainty, changing the outcome. Some physicists say that objects will exists in multiple places and when you look at them they snap into place. The same principle can be used here also. There are a trillion ways it might be possible to bend a spoon with only the mind. I have only stated One. All objects seem like they are separate but science is yet to properly explain what holds the moon in it’s orbit, is all as it seems or are we just oblivious to the truth? Are you sure you aren’t looking at an illusion, are you sure you even exist and aren’t just the figment of some higher beings imagination, scientists say there is 99% chance we are just part of a simulation. Where exactly are we in the emptiness of space, what is space, what is anything? Ask yourself these bigger questions, open yourself to all the possibilities. The worlds an extremely complex place and there are a lot of things we have yet to understand. I will leave it there.

“there are an infinite amount of possibilities and yet we are confined to the most likely of them”
