A question of The Force.

Here's a nice translation quote, which has traction to this convo if one were to consider spiritual as mind (subjective experience/knowledge) and martial as body and environment (objective knowledge), by Yang Pan-hou in Wu Ch'uan-yu's 'Forty Chapters' via wikipedia. Just skip the inner cosmology if you find yourself triggered by concepts you don't understand, or choose to acknowledge, or have a rigid understanding of..... as the point is sprinkled throughout and I'm not presenting this as gospel or telling anyone how they must interpret it. In other words try replacing spiritual with mind and martial with body/environment;

The spiritual is the essence, the martial is the application. Spiritual development in the realm of martial arts is applied through the ching (metabolic energy), ch'i (breath energy) and shen (spiritual energy) - the practise of physical culture. When the martial is matched with the spiritual and it is experienced in the body and mind, this then is the practise of martial arts. With the spiritual and martial we must speak of "firing time," for their development unfolds according to the proper sequence. This is the root of physical culture. Therefore, the practise of the martial arts in a spiritual way is soft-style exercise, the sinew power of ching, ch'i and shen. When the martial arts are practical in an exclusively martial way, this is hard style, or simply brute force. The spiritual without martial training is essence without application; the martial without spiritual accompaniment is application without essence. A lone pole cannot stand, a single palm cannot clap. This is not only true of physical culture and martial arts, but all things are subject to this principle. The spiritual is internal principle; the martial is external skill. External skill without internal principle is simply physical ferocity. This is a far cry from the original nature of the art, and by bullying an opponent one eventually invites disaster. To understand the internal principles without the external skill is simply an armchair art. Without knowing the applications, one will be lost in an actual confrontation. When it comes to applying this art, one cannot afford to ignore the significance of the two words: spiritual and martial.

A bit of fun :side:

There are plenty of people with claims of those type of experiences. If you have documentation of people actually having had them, do feel free to share.

It is only being avoided after so many resources were wasted on taking the claims seriously. Like if after half a million times a test returns negative, one must ask oneself if one might not have better things to do than try the half a million and first time, just to be sure.
As for the existence of such things, well, to put it the way you did, nobody I know is saying that. If however natural methods fail to show any indication that the phenomenon claimed occurs in nature, then we have no basis to believe that it does. And if the claims is so constructed as to predict indication within measurable margins and the prediction keeps failing in 100% of the attempts, then one is perfectly reasonable in not only not accepting the notion that the claimed thing occurs in nature, but in rejecting it, too. This is not a claim about what is or isn't real, it's about what is or isn't reasonable to believe given the results we keep gathering.

I've had personal experiences with telekinesis. I did a simple experiment.. but besides having things that could pick up the effects of my aura on my body. The main point of the experiment was to see the minds ability to control and project these effects..

Very good. I'm certain if you can replicate your results consistently under controlled conditions, any number of institutions would be happy to fund further research into this new hitherto unknown occurrence and how it can be best employed to save and improve lives. I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress and the good it'll serve yourself and mankind more broadly.

How is that different from it not being there at all, though? Surely, when of any thing in the world we say that it "exists", we mean that it engages in some kind of interaction we are able to detect. Sometimes it is as simple as our ability to see it, i.e. it interacts with our eyes (by sending light out) such that we can. Sometimes it is more subtle, like when a stove heats the water and we eventually see it boil, though we never saw any of the infrared light transmitted to the water. Sometimes we can barely detect an effect at all be it not for instruments sensitive enough. But if something affects nothing, then its presence is literally indistinguishable from its absence. If the Force is actually in any meaningful way a part of the world we are another part of, then surely we can only tell that by detecting how it affects things. If it only influences itself and manifests in no other detectable way, how is that different from it not being there at all? And how is anyone allegedly feeling it, if it interacts in no feelable way?

Your thoughts create impressions on your body's nervous system. Which sends signals for the body to respond in kind.. "Lift arm, look left" your body takes cue from you. It doesn't move autonomously..

My agreement here is partial and hesitant. Yes, your mind and body affect each other. What I disagree with is that they are separable. Your mind is as much a produce of your body as the lifting of you arm is. Your brain is running a (admittedly complicated) process we are happy to summarize colloquially as just "the mind" and a lot of the arm lifting your body performs comes from the obedience of particular commands generated by your brain during that process. Whether that counts for autonomousness of your body or not I'm happy to leave to the philosophers to discuss, but if what we know about how stuff works is any good at all then there seems to be no sense in which it makes any to conceive of some kind of ghost in the machine, sitting in control of it.

I have a few times. It's not easily controlled for me, and quite rare. All I can do is share insights into its possible patterns of action and keep exploring techniques to get more control over it. But it would be incorrect to assume that had no benefit in my life just because I cannot control it fully. Whether people believe or not is irrelevant to me, but I've shared these things with Ms Adder ahead of time only to have them come true on half a dozen occasions, and I'm only talking about the higher order instances - as most I bin for being not unique enough to rule out corrupting factors. The higher order events leave no doubt and are never wrong.... its as if its not only up to me for the to occur which I know is really woowoo

Kyrin Wyldstar wrote: So by your understanding and definitions are you saying that portions of The Force are on the magnetic spectrum? If so how do those interact with reality? by this Im asking what effects on what objects of focus are present?

So my impression of your map of the body is one in which mind or spirit or soul is separate than body, a distinct manifestation that continues on after the bodies death and is responsible for the animation of the physical body. You have also told me that I have misunderstood your concept of "heaven". Can you describe to me what makes you believe that "mind" is separate from body and what is your concept of The Force or Heaven that it returns to upon physical death? Your description hints at the fact that the body will not move without the spirit to manipulate it - that "you" or "self" is not the body. So how did you come to this conclusion that we are not our bodies but instead it consists of two separate things? And by what mechanism or process does the mind or soul use to manipulate or otherwise influence the body to be animated?

Technically, all things are The Force. Based on the idea of immanency. However, there are deeper manifestations of it "beyond" the physical. This is just where the "current" is slowest. The EMS being a small part. Though one of the aspects that's closest to ethereal energy. The same that's present in our bodies. All objects have bodies of ethereal energy that feed their atomic bodies in a small but meaningful way. Beyond the quantum level..
For whatever reason, our ethereal bodies are alive, organized, and individuated into a single conscious being.. awareness is a trait shared by all life.. but being able to experience it as we do is something exceedingly more complex.. it needs further study.. however that complexity rose with the complexity of our bodies. As if they evolved together..

"You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you…me…the tree…the rock…everywhere!"

Mind, or soul, are separate from the body in nature. Yet they are made for each other and intimately linked. One cannot operate in this world without the other..

Take a person who is brain dead. Their brain is usually damaged to the point where the soul can no longer operate the body. Whether it's still attached is a different story..
Our thoughts, reflexes, and instincts come from the mind. Our ethereal bodies impress upon the ethereal energy of our bioelectric field. One of the easiest "materials" to manipulate due to "lighter" signature in the ethereal. If the body cannot properly respond to impressions nor give proper input for the mind to act on. There's essentially a discordance and the body will not move. It's automated processes still going, but no operator home.. and the soul, being it's own body, wouldn't completely dissolve in the absence of the body. Just sort of disconnect from the vessel and recede into itself..

I’m not saying I agree one hundred percent with every idea out there but there are people and groups who see things differently- away from tests and labs and explanations. Just food for thought. You may post a explanation of disapproval or even combat against the validity of things like this but you can argue for and against anything now a days - sit in a 9 the grade debate class any where and you will see this in action.

Uzima Moto wrote: Our thoughts, reflexes, and instincts come from the mind. Our ethereal bodies impress upon the ethereal energy of our bioelectric field. One of the easiest "materials" to manipulate due to a "lighter" signature in the ethereal.

I felt the need to expand on this point after rereading my post. Just for some clarification.

There is a historical study of these ideas. Alchemy being one of a good number, mostly Eastern. In Alchemy specifically, the different ethereal bodies of inanimate matter were called "elementals". The theory of being able to change the ethereal and atomic body of one material to another. Lead to the idea of changing lead into gold. Easier said than done, I'm afraid.. in a moral sense, I would be careful of just using it all over the place to fix everything. For a few reasons..

So, there are a few things I've come to learn that are needed to at least understand the idea of how this would actually work.. in theory..

One, maybe most important, is that the ethereal doesn't exist as a separate layer from matter. It's actually the opposite. It's like every atom has an ethereal body according to its nature.. or to be really understood. Every signature of elemental ethereal energy manifests physically as separate elemental atomic structures. Both being extensions of a deeper source. Constituting an ocean of Living Energy..
Every material has a nature according to the elemental signature of its ethereal energy. Some elemental signatures being more "dense" than others, yet more fluid in its ability to change its phase or structure than while in the physical phase..

Second, "ethereal" energy is semi-conscious. In the atomic state, you could say that consciousness falls asleep to a degree. There are several "layers" , or phases, to what's known as the Ethereal. Each less conscious than the phase before it. In the physical state, ethereal energy is sort of sleep walking. Until it begins to organize. The more complex, the more developed, becoming more atuned to the higher phases of the Ethereal, and constitutes its own body.. In those "higher" phases, the conscious aspect is too active to have complexity beyond certain archetypical structures. Thereby getting what is known as dimensional constructs. The basis of all physical constructs. The essence of the "archetype of solidarity" in the Ethereal is the source of solidity, more solid elementals, and consolidation into bodies.. like a tree, branching out from conscious constructs to physical manifestations.. constructs inhabiting all parts..

Lastly, and equally as important as the first. The Ethereal may change from one phase to the next, but the constructs of each phase cannot "crossover" to another. Meaning, the archetype of Death (deconstruction of a body) cannot manifest as a physical construct in and of itself. Its nature acts against the natures of other archetypes, affecting their structures. The "gods" are constantly at war.
When we die our consciousness leaves the physical behind. The atoms aren't dead. They continue to operate as normal. The body is just deconstructed and becomes dust. Our ethereal bodies continue on, going through its own sort of deconstruction.

What is this idea of immanency you are speaking of and how exactly do these ethereal energy bodies “feed” their atomic bodies? You say it’s beyond the quantum level, which is a level currently beyond the capability of science so I am really interested to know exactly how this works since it seems only logical that some sort of sub-quantum process must be in effect here in order to interact with the quantum level.

So by your reckoning here it seems that who we are, our personalities, thoughts, beliefs etc all come from the ethereal body and the physical body really has no part in this. In fact the physical body is just a “machine” to be manipulated by the ethereal being. And you mention brain damage here but what about instances where the body still functions but damage to the brain causes the personality to completely remake itself. In effect, damage to the brain creates a new personality. How does this physical process of brain damage affect the ethereal personality? I will cite one of the most famous cases here for this discussion.

So this comment in particular caught my attention. It reminded my of a previous conversation we had in which I told you about my unicorn and invited you to participate in some scientific studies to help show some of your ideas as viable. At the time you refused with a vague comment about several reasons. However later in this thread you said people are not wanting to examine the proof and that the wider scientific community avoids it all together. (Comments below)

In any case if you are truly capable of these amazing things you say you are then I encourage you to take James Randy's test. He has 1 million dollars as a prize for anyone that can prove they possess paranormal abilities.

Apparently there are old little societies that have been doing this for a long time. Also regular private practitioners. All over the place really. It's in all kinds of ancient texts. I can't understand how you couldn't at least acknowledge that when I mentioned it before..

What's really funny though is that it's entirely possible for you to have an imaginary unicorn that didn't interact with the physical.. That would be creating a thought-form. It probably wouldn't do much though. That's part of lucid dreaming also, dream-bending lol.. The opposite mindset of what you would want to have if you're projecting.

I don't think anyone that could take the challenge would do it.. for a few reasons.. It's funny to me, personally.. looking for the right things in the wrong places lol

So at first you turned down an invitation to further scientific study and later on you lamented that no one is studying such things. So I’m confused, which is it? There are obviously individuals out there that want to study such things further and to even prove their existence, so why not take them up?

Also you seemed to dismiss my Unicorn theory as simply a thought form that “probably would not do much” But I wonder why you have come to this conclusion. You expect that I should take seriously your idea of subtle bodies but you dismiss my idea of Unicorns. In fact I have studied this a great deal since my discovery of the original Sumerian texts and have gleaned a great deal of new information, all subjective of course but I expect that science will catch up someday soon. I now call this phenomena the “Tenuous Unicorn Herd”.

Many can’t detect this herd but some can. I happen to be one that has experienced such things regularly. They are actually responsible for the creation of the universe and exist in a sub-dimension beneath time-space and can manipulate the physical universe. Of course you can’t see this manipulation directly because they are non-corporeal, only their effects. The process used in this come from their single horn. That is the connection point between reality where we exist and non-reality where they exist and that is how they manipulate matter. It is a sub-quantum process that converts not existence into existence. That’s how they create.

This herd is a part of everything that exists and everything that does not exist. Many have experienced this herd or at least individual manifestations of the Unicorn. There are legends and stories and texts that mention the unicorn throughout the centuries. They are even mentioned in the bible! So I think this idea finds relevance in this section of the board. All these stories are based on actual experience but made legend over the millennia or lost to the ages and are just now being rediscovered.

Now I must ask you, why is it so easy to dismiss my theory of the Tenuous Unicorn Herd as you did above? I seem to have just as much proof and evidence as you do of your subtle bodies but you seem to accept that but dismiss mine? What if you are wrong and what you have actually been interacting with is this herd? I think that is the case for you and if you just spend a bit of time with it you will come to realize this. It takes and open mind and lots of meditation to come to know these noble creatures of creation but if you take the time to actually study it I think you will find my observations to be quite accurate. You just have to open yourself to the Unicorn. Happy searching!

Just out of curiosity, Moto, where are you getting all of this from? Like it costs me little to keep pointing out how none of it either makes any sense nor is consistent with how the world works if our observations of it are to be trusted to any extent, but seeing as there seems to be no end to this in sight, I wonder if you are making this up as you go or if it is actually based on anything worthy of our more immediate review. Not trying to be rude or disrespectful here, just curious what it is we're actually dealing with here...

Kyrin, I didn't dismiss your unicorn theory. It's entirely possible for you and some friends to share that experience. You would be sharing a thought-form.. doesn't mean that it would actually have an affect on reality like the concepts I'm speaking on.. you really like to twist words lol..

You also need to understand the difference between investigation smaller occurrences like OBE's and practicing practical applications.. because the science is occult.. like natural science use to be.. so no, I wouldn't take the challenge for that, and other reasons.. if he wants proof, there are plenty of threads to follow..

No I am not twisting words here. I am telling you the nature of the underlying fabric of the universe. The Tenuous Unicorn Herd is not a thought form. It is the beginning of existence itself. You may dismiss it all you like but I think you will find that if you just go a bit deeper into your ideas you will find the underlying nature of even your ethereal beings. They exist because the herd exists and really does not exist at the same time. They are the beginning and ending of all things including your subtle beings. These beings you speak of exist because of the herd.

As for your claim that these scientists are incapable of investigating OBEs or practicing practical applications, are you suggesting that a new branch of science needs to be created called occult science? So im curious, how do you see this scientific discipline being created and by what means would it investigate these occult things? Im really fascinated as to the details of this new realm of science you are speaking of. It might be used to further investigate the Tenuous Unicorn Herd as well, dont you think? Please let me know how you would define this new discipline and I may be interesting in furthering its creation!

Let me fix this quote since you want to nitpick my sentence structure..

"You also need to understand the difference between investigation smaller occurrences like OBE's, and practicing practical applications like telekinesis.. because the latter science is occult and centuries old.. like natural science use to be.. so no, I wouldn't take the challenge for that, and other reasons.. if he wants proof, there are plenty of threads to follow.."

Also, are you that this unicorn would appear as a unicorn to someone who's never seen one? What do they look like to aliens who would have never even seen a horse?..

The difference between your poor excuse of a theory and the concepts I'm mentioning is because of things we already do know about through study. Applied reasonably, people have acquired ever greater working knowledge of these subjects.. Your unicorn would explain very little.. though theoretically, we wouldn't know until we tested it

So I must ask again, are you disappointed in the fact that science ignores things like telekinesis or do you acknowledge that science is ready and willing to investigate such things but you are disinclined to aqueous for whatever secret reasons you keep bringing up but decline to detail? I am still interested in exactly how you see a scientific discipline that would be able to adequately explore such things as telekinesis? From what you say I understand you believe that normal science cant do it, so please describe the group that could.

As for the unicorn herd, why would the unicorn appear to be anything other than a unicorn, even to an alien being? Unicorns are universal and I suspect that any alien species also would have such a concept of the unicorn because they are the basic underlying nature of reality and all life, even aliens, can gain access to that.

So now we get to the meat of the matter. You are now claiming that my theory is but a poor excuse because of things we already know about. Exactly what things are those that we know about that refute my theory then? I'm curious to know what it is you know that dismantles my theory of everything in the Tenuous Unicorn Herd? Your own theory seems to have no mechanism of interaction between corporeal and non-corporeal, at least you have never presented one, but my theory bridges that gap and even fills in a blank where yours fails. The horn of the unicorn is actually the bridge between existence and non-existence and is the energy transfer unit between existence and non existence. It is actually a generator of reality!

The unicorn manifests in a non-defined un-space, the horn both exists and does not exist and is an energy creator that facilitates the creation of existence and corporeal matter. Beyond that it might be conjectured that these subtle bodies are created upon which in turn the corporeal body is manifest. I see no reason why you cant accept this as it makes such perfect sense to me. I have personally experienced these unicorn through my studies and even interacted with them to some degree. The process is difficult but in time if you grow your understanding of the nature of the universe you may gain this ability as well! I suggest highly that you open your mind just a bit more and you will see that what I say is true. There are loads of ancient texts on this idea of the unicorn herd, you just need to seek them out. There is an ancient Sumerian cult of the unicorn that practiced these disciplines for many centuries before the knowledge was lost.

The first objects unearthed from Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were small stone seals inscribed with elegant depictions of animals, including unicorn-like figures, and marked with Indus script writing which still baffles scholars. These seals are dated back to 2,500 B. C. Source: North Park University, Chicago, Illinois.

We are just now starting to uncover the mysteries behind these ancient writings.

Have you witnessed an act of The Force?
If so, tell us about it. Did it act through you?

Great points , just not in this section- feel free to request a separation or even start a new one.

Well, Moto, since you seem to have so liberally dismissed everything I said in this thread so far as just "not a thing", I cannot say I'm surprised you ignored my query as to where this is all coming from. Surely, my rudeness deserves nothing less, though, so fair enough.



I am nevertheless flattered that despite my very poor understanding of the basic sciences you still show interest in my opinion about the video. Hereafter are remarks I made in preparation for this post during my watching the footage:


So I'm some nine minutes into the video, and Dr. Hagelin is showing a picture of a rocky planet called Neptune with a sizeable moon. Neptune is a gas planet and has a ring system with some 14 "major" tiny moons. A small nitpick considering the man is an astrophysicist, surely, but in the spirit of levity, why not make it, I figured. Odd that he either forgot what the depiction was supposed to be of or didn't bother seeking out an image of Neptune. Moving on...
While this may be a matter of perspective/opinion, I do disagree with Dr. Hagelin when around 12:35 he says that the formalism of quantum mechanics is "a whole new logic, a whole new mathematics". It really isn't. The logic employed is the same Aristotelian classical logic that is used for almost everything else, and the mathematical tools employed in QM are essentially probability theory, linear algebra and functional analysis, all of which well predate quantum theory and some of which is used even in classical physics to one extent or another.
At around 15:50 Dr. Hagelin equates vacuum energy to dark energy. This is not well established yet. Particularly, the zero point energy is actually stronger than what would account for the expansion rate of the universe. If I had to muster an educated guess (or an uneducated one, as the case may be; cosmology is not my field), I'd say that the energy-mass-equivalence in the form proposed by Einstein would have to be called into question and corrected if in fact the zero point energy and dark energy are one and the same. I do not thing that an alteration like that could be made without abandoning the first law of thermodynamics on macroscopic scales, though.
At around 16:48 Dr. Hagelin says that the unified field is a "field of intelligence". Not knowing what that means I tried googling for "unified field of intelligence" and the results seem overwhelmingly to feature either Dr. Hagelin alone with a few others, often in conjunction with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the meditation movement Hagelin is leading now. If you have come across an independent source that explains what this means with regards to physics, I'd be grateful for a link.
At around 18:34 Dr. Hagelin says that one of the string states corresponds to a gravity-carrying particle. I am insufficiently uneducated on matters of string theory, but I do know that while the graviton has been hypothesized, it has not yet been observed in experiment. Personally, and particularly after the discovery of gravitational waves, I would intuitively suspect that the graviton does exist in nature. Intuitions have a habit of failing us when it comes to fundamental physics though, so we had for now better remain mindful of them, and sceptical.
Sometime before the 22 minute mark Dr. Hagelin is beginning to build up to and introduce the multiverse model. Again, I am not sufficiently educated on BSM physics to judge how strongly it is implied, but I share Dr. Hagelin's hesitance to speak fondly of it. To me it would seem that no testable prediction can be made from that model in principle. If this is indeed so, we cannot justify basing any of the rest of our modeling of nature on it.
Then Dr. Hagelin proceeds to speak of psychology and drawing an analogy to physics and to nested sets of numbers. I am insufficiently educated about psychology to comment on that analogy. He commences then with a sermon about the benefits of transcendental meditation. It wouldn't much shock me to find that there are indeed plenty such, though considering how rash (one daresay sloppy) he has been with his very own field, I am very cautious about taking him at his word in matters of medicine in general, or neuroscience and psychology in particular.
Particularly amusing I found his likening meditation to the rebooting of a computer. On modern operating systems (i.e. within the past fifteen years or so) shy of processes involving deep system restructuring like some particularly invasive installations, this is almost entirely unnecessary. The sort of bloat Dr. Hagelin is referring to may have been an issue back in the 90's when manufacturers and developers were still used to computers running for the purposes of a very few programs in general before shutting down again, and thus management of the small memory capacities of the day was less of a priority. Nowadays even most consumer grade computers are comfortable running without reboots easily for weeks if not months at a time.
I only skimmed over the last third or so of his meditation sermon. He brought up again a very forced seeming parallelity between fields of physics (not sure how they are "levels") and levels of consciousness from his tradition of choice, but I do not understand what that contributes to his point except maybe making a few credulous members of the audience associate his religion with science and thus transfer the merits of the latter to the former when frankly I think there is enough of an argument to be had for it without such... tactics.

Google is where I'm getting it from, go find it.. there are books, links, etc.. all going into further detail on the different phenomena..

Point noted, Carlos. Maybe lock this thread start a new one, Part 2 and they can take their conversation to another thread...

I couldn't call out, move, nothing was working. Then the panic wanted to set in after awhile. I thought I was trapped, or that I could even die. All of a sudden the scenery caught my attention. It was familiar for some reason. Then it hit me. "We're outside of town! We're here!".. Surprised me so much that it snapped me back.

Not to diminish what you're saying but just out of personal concern for your welfare, do you have a CPAP machine? I would recommend having a sleep study done because I've had the sleep paralysis experience myself, and some pretty wicked dreams a few times. It definitely felt like I was awake but that my body wasn't working and a couple times it felt like some kind of demon was pushing down on my chest. Of course when I experienced this I had no clue there was a scientific basis and that I would simply stop breathing during my sleep. I didn't really do anything about it until 20 years later so I know a lot of people simply live with it. However, it does affect you long term so I would highly recommend a sleep study if you haven't already.

As far as anything truly supernatural, it's hard to say. There are times when sleep paralysis basically produces a Near Death Experience and many people report a lot of weird and very intense dream-like states where, as their brains are starving and shutting down, they can even go to heaven. Doesn't mean heaven exists, of course. It's just that the brain is our reality decoder and we underestimate it's power to merge imagination into that conscious experience. So it's hard to know what's a product of the mind and what is an experience that goes beyond the mind.

Without watching the video it reminds me of other people I've seen talking about Quantum Mechanics as an explanation for these other things they believe. And they seem to try and mix disciplines a lot and also pull some pretty unscientific people into it and theorize together. While I don't mind this approach as it is usually interesting if not entertaining, I think we have to be careful not to take these people too seriously; especially when there is a financial opportunity involved.

Ahhh but if the soul can no longer operate the body then how does one prove that the soul even exists without the body?

I feel some of what you're saying, but I think it incorporates things that humans have believed for thousands of years without actual knowledge to support those beliefs. For instance, do I believe we are all made of energy? yes. It is only our perception that differentiates slow moving energy from fast moving energy. If you want to call one type physical and another ethereal then who am I to disagree?

But...

Does this reality (which has already been scientifically proven) support other often fascinating beliefs that were, at some point, based largely on superstition? In other words, psychologically we want to live forever and have a basic core instinct to survive that can "overdevelop" or "overcompensate". This same instinct, massaged the right way, produces a shared belief called heaven. Does heaven exist outside of our minds? No. So science will never find Heaven because it's not "out there", but rather within the "holographic" simulation of our imagination. And in one person's imagination Heaven looks different from someone else's. I'm sure in someone's heaven there are no Mexicans. Because that person is racist. And if they dream or have a NDE they will see their own heaven, not a real one that physically exists.

So I am only saying just be cautious of accepting the entire industry of occult knowledge because you have experienced, at least within your own mind/perception, one or two things that seem to suggest a greater mystical world. Often, it is quite simply the mind's own ability to adapt and justify that makes things appear to be true that really aren't. Therefore you may see it, but someone else may not.

My wife believes she can see spirits. Is it true? I don't know. I believe it is in her mind. However, she has had experiences I cannot explain, like feeling someone in her family pass away before the actual knowledge of it. What can we do with experiences like this? Call it coincidence? I don't think so. Can science test it? Probably not. So where kind of left with things that we can prove and know and things that we believe and have faith in. The two are not the same nor to be confused but I don't think one can predict or dismiss the other.
