I am very much of the mind that we have very severe limits to the extent of our knowledge in many areas and certainly the after life is one of the most profound. James does report on shadows from that realm which do not stretch the bounds of reason to the breaking point. |
I'm enjoying that book that I downloaded last evening.........I began it immediately........saving the rest for tonight when we're waiting in the living room for the little trick or treater's to go door to door.......since it's going to be a showery evening........it might be a long wait between "customers"....
Here is something else I just read...........
""Are spirits real? Is there any "proof" that ghosts and apparitions are NOT products of an over active imagination or wishful thinking? Is there really an afterlife, or is that something we tell ourselves to feel better? In this article we are going to take a quick and easy look at some of the best PROOF that paranormal experiences are real, and the implications they have for those of us who remain in the living as well. Care to know more? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!""
""The TYPES of actual evidence is OVERWHELMING""
""If ghost stories were ONLY the types you see on TV...it would be easy to write them off as entertainment, or imagination. But the truth is, there are so many different types of experiences with apparitions, and the "afterlife" that it's impossible to explain them as simple tricks of the brain.""
""There are literally MILLIONS of events like the ones listed below each and every year, and they all point to the same reality. (which IS, that this reality is NOT all there is!)""
''After Death Communications :
Crisis Apparitions (Spirits who appear to people many miles away at the moment of their death)""
""Death bed visions :
Near Death experiences (where deceased family and friends are seen)""
""And of course, there are MEDIUM readings where information comes through that's impossible to explain away through conventional means, even if the skeptics, and debunkers want you to BELIEVE that the readings are simply good guesses, luck or outright cheating.""
""And remember, when you REALLY start to look at the whole spectrum of super natural experiences, you really start to see how many of them there are, and they ALL point to that very same place. ""
Out of body experiences
Remote viewing
Psychic abilities
Past life memories (especially those in small children that are later proven to be true)
""The truth is, there is way too much to list here. And they all seem to suggest that THIS reality is only a fraction of the spectrum of our spiritual awareness. And that MAYBE our authentic selves are really spiritual beings, trapped in the limiting confines of a physical body for a fixed period of time...and when that body disappears, what REMAINS is our spiritual selves.""
""(and that THIS self is who you really are...and what endures and persists AFTER death, and quite possibly, lives on forever!)""
All very interesting to ponder on a rainy chilly dark Halloween night.
