Afterlife (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

My friend Tom Snow was dead for maybe five minutes back around 1980 from a number of knife wounds into his heart upper chest area. Lost a lot of higher brain functions like his command of Spanish but maintained others.

He either was scared of the re-action of his peers in the Philosophy Department at the University of Nevada, Reno or just said that he did not remember anything after he was stabbed. The man that did it got off very lightly because of a heat of passion defense as Tom was trying to pick up his wife and I believe that this was rather close to Mustang Ranch but that just might be part of the story that was going around back then.

Tom cracked up when Indiana Jones shot the sword welding thug in Raiders of the Lost Ark when we went to see it. He was still trying to pick up married ladies around me so I kind of started to distance myself. He did have a habit of ****ing off boyfriends and wives.

He still looks like quite a character.

What a great movie! Full interesting characters.

Of course, they are looking for empirical evidence and mathematical proof, not blind faith. The truth, as usual, may be somewhere in between.

I would look more to poets, artists and musicians myself to get at what the afterlife might be like. Not earth bound scientists.

Is it real? I don't know. Does a dead person even have a viable spirit? If so, does it have to be a heavenly spirit or could I talk to Hitler, Genghis, Attila, or Joe Paterno?

Well, these guys may be in a hotspot and therefore reachable...

If anyone could have done it, Harry Houdini would have.

I don't believe that is possible.

I don't think my mind can be changed. I am somewhat influenced by my Catholic upbringing, although I am not really a practicing Catholic. I have always been skeptical and disbelieving of such things. Perhaps we all have hidden feelings and even fears about the spirit world.

I think that this may be a comforting experience for some but I personally think THIS kind of thing is a scam.

Is there money involved with this particular happening? Do people pay to be involved? Does someone make money on this get together?

Grace,

With God...........anything and everything is possible.

Sounds great ? Give ya nice warm fuzzies at night ? What a crock.

Well if you are very high on drugs....

I don't feel like I sound like a crazy person but I do in fact believe that there are people that can connect with people that have passed all that claim to be able to do it I believe some or majority are fake but I've also been to someone who is now in Nevada I believe ...he did originally live in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and a friend of mine's husband had passed suddenly he was only 49 years old she went to him about two weeks after her husband died ....she just called and made an appointment she didn't say she wanted a psychic reading or a mediumship she just made an appointment with him and did only give her first name and no other personal information about herself unless there was a phone number that I'm not sure ....when she walked in he asked her what was she there for and she said him but my husband just died and he looked at her and he said but that was only two weeks and it takes 30 days for spirit to become settled to where they're going to be now he had no way of knowing her husband had died because they did not use the same last name so there was no research that could've been done anyway he told her he would try but he didn't think it would work the next thing was he said to her he's very confused he does not know what happened he keeps thinking that maybe it was a dream and then he started to tell her so many personal things like he said to her really he smoked a lot he also spoke to her about a sandwich he used to make on Christmas & Easter morning it was with scrapple which is a Philadelphia thing he went on to tell her so many personal things there was no way he could not of been genuine so I do believe I don't believe all of them can do it and I don't like that some people take other peoples money but I do believe there are people that can connect you just have to be very cautious ....He did also state the date of his death correctly. They say we're all have an ability. It's our intuition. I think these true people are highly intuitive....

There is a town north of Deltona, Florida called Cassadaga. It calls itself a spiritual camp. You must be a certified psychic to live in this town. You can have a reading or a seance. I am a skeptic so I have never paid for a reading but I have been in a group seance. They use a tilt table at the seance. It was a hoot and not scary at all. Google it if interested.

I believe there are people with different abilities based on how they use their brains. Could explain some of this.

If my kids said that I would make them defend their statement.

Who certifies a psychic?

How can a municipality govern who lives there? It seems like the civil rights people would be all over that.

I am only debating and no malice meant.
