The Subject of religion is a sensitive issue in itself. However discussing the taboo's
associated with religion and the paranormal is many different cultures is a "No-No"
Throughout history and in all cultures throughout the known world, there are
differences in how death and the afterlife should be viewed. Several cultures believe
that there are forms of reincarnation and no spirit really ever dies. Then there are other
cultures that believe that once you have left this world you move onto a heaven or hell
and there is simply no circulation of spirit but that it exist on another plane of life. This
subject is a "touchy matter" on the other hand being paranormal investigators our minds
must be open to all forms of religion and belief's. From God to Goddess's, Satan to Kali,
this article will touch on several taboo subjects involving beliefs and the paranormal.
Today's spiritual people are in most parts of the world free to believe as they wish. In
some cultures beliefs are a simple matter of everyday life. Just as you breathe being
spiritual comes to you naturally whether you know it or not. Any person who says they
have never had some sort of paranormal experience, has to be in some sort of
paranormal state themselves. In one life cycle from birth until death one person will
have at least one paranormal experience. Whether it be a dream about a long dead or
newly passed loved one, A phantom smell that brings back the memories of childhood,
or visions of people or things long known to the conscious mind to be gone. Animals
and even the apparition of a intelligent haunt whom is capable of communication with
a living being. All these things are considered paranormal and can take place at any
time in your life.
Many psychologist today would rather diagnose person's being plagued with the
paranormal as mentally disturbed then address the issue head on and try and find an
explanation for why and how these issues can happen, and if so what are the conditions
we can use to recreate them. In many instances person's whom have suffered a
traumatizing accident, abuse, sickness, lose of loved one, ETC. Have the ability to create
conditions suitable for paranormal activity. These are not the conditions we'd like to
recreate for the study of the paranormal. These types of dramatic conditions can usually
produce a type of bio electrical energy that is given off by a living being as a type of
"run off" or drainage system if you will. This energy is the body's natural defense to
stress and mental, physical, and emotional damage to the mind. This separate energy
can manifest itself in many different ways, from illness, to the actual manifestations of
items, animals, and even people whom are not there. This type of energy could be
viewed as a type of psychological problem in many cases but what about the few cases
in people and even families who experience these types of issues without the history of
mental problems?
In more then enough cases not associated with people who have grown up in a religion
or have lead a sheltered and comfortable life. People tend to find comfort in some sort
of spirituality after some type of traumatizing event takes place in there life. Ask any
convict on death row and they will tell you. If you can't find Jesus, Check the State
Penitentiary you will find him there. People whom have never had any type of
religious beliefs in there life will call in a minister of priest to a dieing loved ones bed
side or there own, to find the peace of mind they need to be able to mentally handle the
next chapter of life.
So what is the next Chapter of life? Do we move onto a realm of heaven or hell or levels
that guide us to or through another world? Do we die and are reborn into a life
dependent on what our former life was, good or bad? Do we die and that's the end of it
all? Who really knows? We could debate for months on the differences in opinion due
to religious beliefs or we could agree that in some form it's what everyone believes. The
minds power is raw and can not be welded by anyone but it's owner. In all cultures
there is a cycle we must follow. We all live and we all die. This cycle can be shortened or
lengthened by the power and will of a person. Use the will to stop smoking for
example. It takes a tremendous amount of will power to overcome an addiction no
matter what type of addiction it is. This will or Chi as some cultures would call it exist
inside a person in uncharted territory by any scientist. The force is what keeps us alive
and able to achieve great things when it's used properly. Use for example an infant of
premature birth so small and helpless can find the force within him/herself to be strong
enough to pull through unsurmountable odds and live when the odds are stacked
against them. People say that episodes like this are a miracle. It makes sense to label
circumstances of this sort as a miracle because we can not understand the details to why,
how, and what took place to make it happen. The vital spark that life is and that every
living being contains in itself is the true mystery.
This spark or life force if you will is made up of several different kinds of energies in
some people I believe posses more or less then a typical person. These extra energy
forces enable people to see and or hear, dream, or subconsciously manifest episodes of
paranormal activity that has (at this time) no explanations. On the other hand common
sense tells us that science is ever changing and grows into something new every day. It
makes sense that with energy being so easy to move from one form to another with
simple changes can do the same in a living being. Or in that matter after a living being
body or vessel no longer exist. Those energy forms must move to some place.
This place is unknown but in the field of paranormal research we have learned that in
many cases that all energies do not leave this realm of consciousness. Some may indeed
leave or move onto a different level our minds are not evolved enough to understand
yet. Yet others may make a conscious effort to stay in a location before there bodies die
and there spirits be bond to stay attached to a home, family member, personal item, or
possibly a favorite location. From people,pets, plants, and even some mineral's, any
living item that posses a bio electrical field of energy (which every living thing does)
has the ability to either consciously or unconsciously disperse there energy into
separate fields or reality.
In REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep our bodies generate more electrical energy then
we typically do when awake. This being said and knowing that our bodies use more
energy when we are awake to move and do every day things it makes sense that there is
a separate force that generates this type of energy when we sleep. This can explain the
fatigue you feel after a nightmare. Or the levels of mood after a sleepless night. This
separate and subconscious energy has to fuel itself just as we fill our bodies with
nourishment. Blood sugar, iron levels, minerals and vitamins play a vital part in our
bodies chemical make-up. It's necessary to refuel these sources for everyday activity.
This separate energy that living beings contain has to be refueled as well. This is where
spirituality comes in. There's an old expression that goes: "Religion is food for the soul"
This is true in every aspect. This force that exist separately inside our bodies needs a
form of refueling as well. Once we have visited our spiritual temple we feel some what
enlightened and a sense of peace is brought out over us and stress levels go down,
people sleep better therefore regulating things in your body like blood sugar and blood
pressure. This inner feeling or force is present in all life. Not all manner of living beings
are capable of depicting the feelings of how and why we must find this peace but for
those spiritual people out there who do know this, you understand.
All forms of life are infinite as with the forces of nature that drive them. It makes sense
that living beings will take on a separate form of energy after there bodies have
separated them. There for giving the field of paranormal research a viable and
important part of science. Religions shouldn't verify what your spirit tells you to
believe. You have the power to know and decide for yourself. If all gods where one god
we'd have no purpose in debating issues of religion and verifying paranormal activity
would be an exact science, but these taboo subjects have been debated for millions of
years all over the world. Maybe with the help of more spiritually enlightened people
who believe in the study of the paranormal we can form a world of like minded people,
but then again we're still trying to find a cure for cancer as well.........
