There has always been much debate on whether or not a soul can exist after it leaves a living body. Different cultures have
different beliefs, when it comes to life after death. Some cultures believe that our souls move onto a heaven or hell. Others
believe that we can be reborn into other worlds and bodies. Some believe there is neither and that souls simply cease to exit as
our living body dies and there is simply "no more"

Scientifically there is no proof of life after death, or the existence of any realm or place souls go after our bodies die. However
with the existence of energy comes the knowledge that with science we can prove that a "soul" which is essentially energy which is
the fuel that drives the living body exist after the body has died.

Lets talk about energy for a second. If you look up energy in the dictionary it says "Energy-1 a: dynamic quality <narrative energy> b:
the capacity of acting or being active <intellectual energy> c: a usually positive spiritual force <the energy flowing through all
people>2: vigorous exertion of power : effort <investing time and energy>3: a fundamental entity of nature that is transferred
between parts of a system in the production of physical change within the system and usually regarded as the capacity for doing
work4: usable power (as heat or electricity); also : the resources for producing such power

With this simple definition it easy to see that energy is constant. It is the flow of energy that is constant and cannot be destroyed.
From the out limits in space  to the simple things on our planet. We use energy in many different forms. We can capture it and
use it to our benefit like powering our homes and businesses, Transportation, storing information in our computers and mobile
phones, the list could go on forever.

Knowing that energy can be stopped but never destroyed also tells us that even in death an energy has to travel some where.
Whether it be to another realm or trapped in some form right here on earth. Energy can transform from one type of energy to
another. With trapped or stored energy the energy is maintained in one area for a period of time until it is released or takes the
form of another type of energy. Again even stored energy cannot be destroyed. Also with the theory that energy is constant and
always present in one way or another it can be manipulated by any type of intelligence.

Now that we have talked about energy and how it works. Let's talk about how it can retain to the paranormal. Astral Being's are
ghost essentially. The idea of a ghost being the soul of a dead individual is in itself energy. The energy that has passed from the
living body into another realm. Again we cannot prove the existence of a ghostly realm where all souls go after departing a living
body but with the knowledge that the soul or energy of a person cannot be destroyed but takes a different form or is maintained
on a different level can be proven with the science of energy. Lots of paranormal investigators have ideas on how the
supernatural works however they are just that idea" the Astral Being or ghost has long intrigued man kind for millenniums.
There's no arguing that the physical body will dissipate and turn to dust in the ground, but the energy that drives the body has to
move on, Or take another form.

One of the more common types of haunting's that retain to how an astral being may manipulate energy is that of "shadow people"
It is a theory that shadow people cannot totally manifest themselves do to low levels of energy. It is easier to move around in the
dark then in the light. When light is present our energy levels deplete quickly and we become tired more quickly then we would if it
was dark. With that you can consider the low energy levels of an astral being and the forms there energy may have to take in
order to show intelligence or communicate. This may explain the apparitions reported of limbless or headless figures in shadow
form. Or the more common transparent apparition, with a shadow like quality. This is just one example of how energy and energy
level can pertain to astral beings. (for more information on different haunting's see main page)

Again there are many theories on astral beings or ghost and to each there own. I personally believe that there is no scientific
proof that states you can destroy time, space, or the energy that drives it, and the same has to apply for any other object that is
driven by energy. Whether it be the human being, plant, animal, or the smallest micro, single celled organism in our vast and
always expanding universe. Some where some how all the energy we are is stored and kept or able to move threw realms, time,
and space, just how far we will be able to research this depends on how open minded we as a race of beings are able to be.

What is “The Paranormal”? What is their purpose? Why do they plague some places or people more than others?
What can we do to help them? Perhaps it is not out responsibility to help anything. We should observe their activity
and try to understand our role in their world and their role in ours.
Consider this, the Global Law of Conservation of Energy states the total energy of the universe cannot change.  That
means energy around us cannot pass on from this universe; what has always been here will remain in some form or
fashion. Either on another plane or in another form, that energy must remain constant in our universe.  Either it
continues to be used, or it is transferred to something else.  Therefore, you could say that a life force could stick
around and maybe in a different form than what we are use to.
How is it that the paranormal can use energy from living objects? The second law of Thermodynamics states energy
and matter tends to be more evenly spread out across the universe (or their surroundings). Living organisms, being
inefficient in how they use the energy received, let this energy spread out around them potentially letting something
else to use that energy “pool” around that organism.  
Think of it as getting out of a swimming pool. You ring your clothes out and are now standing in a pool of water. That
water was once a part of you, but now is transferred to the ground around you. Now say a wasp lands in the pool of
water and drinks the water, that was once a part of the pool, and a part of you, and spread out around you on the
ground. The water gives the wasp energy to fly.
This is a perfect example how energy spread out from you can be transferred to something else to use for its own
purposes.  Just as a “ghost” could go into your energy pool, take some of that energy and use it for its own purposes.
If you consider that your energy force cannot change, perhaps some remain in their energy force, but without ways of
renewing their energy levels (like we use food, water, and sun); the only way to renew that energy that may have
been transferred by use is to pull from other energy pools, therefore having to interact with those things around it –
like living organisms. Perhaps their purpose is not to go around scaring people, or attacking people; but simply to
keep their energy levels at a place where they can continue on without transferring so much energy that they are no
longer what they started out as – but are spread out amongst the universe.  People experience this concept when you
brush against someone and sometimes get shocked. That is energy transferring between the two of you until it is
even between you.  
Could a person, having a high “absorption” rate of energy, if you will, be hypersensitive to people, places, or entities
with high amounts of energy? Yes! Some people are drawn to places where there are high amounts of energy.
Perhaps this same place has high paranormal activity for the same reason. Could the activity become more active
when that person is around? Yes! That person “absorbs” energy in high amounts, so the energy pool around them
may be very large. Entities are drawn to that energy and to that person.  That person may feel drained at times, or
charged up – like a shock going up their body. They may experience stigmata or even psycho-connectivity to that
other energy force. That person must understand, it is not an attack, it is not their duty to set en energy force free.
That person is simply the light in a very dark room. Accepting that it is science and not a personal can allow this
person understand their role and the role of “The Paranormal” in our universe.
