The Existence of Ghosts

“Up until a few centuries ago” We are not speaking about the Earth being flat or sky dome etc. which has been disproved by science, but the yet to be fully explained existence of ghost. At some time in the future science may advance enough to prove or disprove their existence but, to date no solid scientific evidence is available to disprove all the spectra phenomenon that occurs.R1a: I never made claim to the authenticity of ESP, mediums, psychics and the like; just that some people attribute their contact with ghost to these factors; which I agree should be dismissed. My contention is science and nature based for the existence of ghost. Regarding animal and impending danger, link the Super string resonance theory presented in R1, it is applicable. (which I will address in more detail later). Even the Earth has vibratory frequencies which animals are in tuned and humans can measure when they become strong enough. The theory makes sense because all atoms possess kinetic energy. Even a stone has energy where atomic particles resonate, though it is tightly compacted and very fast moving; whereas in gasses the energy is less dense and slower moving. Humans and everything else is in between https://goo.gl.... This energy is in everything.R1b: I'll remind that humans are animals and were much more in tuned with nature in the past, much like the creatures we see today run to safely before impending danger; we can assume we did the same. Have an open mind and move out of the conventional western thinking when it comes to Shamans. At one time western medicine hooeyed ancient Chinese acupuncture as a barbaric with no merit; it is now an accepted treatment. Shamans have lead botanist to medicinal plants that are used in modern medicines https://goo.gl.... Their knowledge of their surroundings is ancient and is greater than civilized man; it should not be dismissed out of hand. Michael Harmer Ph.D. anthropologist and ethnologist has studied Shamans from various cultures. Shamans have existed across multiple cultures on 5 continents for millenniums. The basis of Shamanic beliefs is two realities, the ordinary reality and nonordinary reality. The latter allows them to communicate and interact with ghosts and spirits. Harner states “science has never disproven the theory of the existence of spirits” http://goo.gl.... Jack Hunter from the University of Bristol, published an academic article in The Journal of the British Association for the Religions, “Between Realness and Unrealness": Anthropology, Parapsychology and the Ontology of Non-Ordinary Realities” where he states that pathological models of Western Study are dismissive and reductive of alternative ontologies. It attempts to make what is studied fit into social or physiological niches; this is short sighted and stubborn thinking. There is no certainty of “non-physical entities or forces” https://goo.gl... . Michael Winkelman, from Arizona State University wrote a work” Shamanism in Cross Cultural Perspective” where he explains the Shamans and their ghost and spirit beliefs are shared around the world https://goo.gl... . How can thousands of people through the ages on the same subject be wrong? None of this is the TV style Shaman Voodoo which you might have in mind. R2a I believe you didn't read the full article. At the top of the page the premise is stated “human interpersonal communication, it is the concept that humanity has an inherent connection with its environment, the basis of which is human consciousness itself, something which is now quantifiable” http://goo.gl... ; The theory connects well to the Shamanic belief system presented for an explanation for presence of ghosts and spirits. My source of the article cannot be repudiated since it’s from “The Journal of Theoretics” which is a publisher of scientific literature. Your article is from the American Museum of Natural History, which is also reputable, delves into the topic in layman terms, not the physics. I ask you, what happens to all that electromagnetic energy that we emit? Do you soak it back up? No, it’s out in the environment as energy that cannot be destroyed according to Einstein. The article explains that the strings are linked by similar vibratory energy. And yes, all matter is strung together by these alike strings. But your rebutal lacks explaination how strain and lack of movement would occur amongst strings. We are not talking about the kind of string that is wound into a ball, it's vibratory. Throw two same sized stones in a pond. They make similar sized ripples. Think of the ripples as vibratory strings that connect because of their similarity. Throw a big rock and a small stone; they each make a different pattern of ripples that will not connect because their dissimilar. As stated before in R1, there’s an interpsychic dimension where ghost and people who share similar vibratory resonance can interact. R2b: The movement through matter has been addressed. Atoms do not move through one another nor through matter, their vibrational energy does. Throughout our life we are emitting electromagnetic energy. We don't go searching and collect a lifetime of emittances when we die. That's a chore that any dying person would hate to face.Yes my valued opponent, there are billions of ghosts of all people and animals past. Only those people and ghosts who are on the same frequency are able to interact. And there can be a sofa, tree, or crevice in the earth that has the same vibrational resonance as a dead person and they, theoretically, could be bundled with it; they are now in a sense apart of nature.(1.) R3 Haunted places. Again, it's a matter of vibrational frequency. We share DNA and many physical characteristics with family members. I don’t see why we would not also sometimes share a similar resonance; therefore attributing to more than one ghosts in a building. However, I haven't heard of a haunted building with more than a few of ghost, not large numbers. Multiple witnesses of the same phenomenon can be attributed to openness to reception of resonance. As mentioned earlier, civilization has dulled or we dismiss our natural intuitiveness. But also, I will not refute that some individuals will fall prey to the power of suggestion. (2.) R4: “What makes you a ghost?” Residual resonance energy that was emitted through person’s lifetime. If Shamans call upon ghost or spirits for guidance they must have some manner of sentience. Unresolved issues, revenge and such, as given as an explanation for ghost is what some attribute, but this is not my contention as stated earlier. As far as having hundreds of millions of ghosts per person, that does not make sense. That statement assumes there is a limited number or range of resonance frequencies, which is not the case. There are infinite possible frequencies as there are combinations of atoms comprising everything on Earth and in the cosmos; especially since it is the vibrations of electrons, neutron and protons that are producing the energy. You don't come back as resonance energy, it's the energy that you have emitted throughout your lifetime that remains.
