You're not the first person to accuse me of talking too much. ;)

I just felt that people are deciding that ghosts and such aren't real without any education or experience. TV dramatizes everything and takes real experiences and moves it into TV fantasy.

Before one makes such a decision, educated yourself first. Read a bunch of books and better yet, talk to people who have had some experiences.

I'll re-post this because it applies here-

The human EGO is very interesting. The ego is a part of every human consciousness. It keeps our mind grounded with a feeling of understanding and knowledge. It give us a sense of knowing self and the world around us. It's what makes everyone think they know everything (including me). The ego does not like mysteries. If the human ego can't comprehend something, it will most likely say it's not real or explain it away.

Someone said they believed in life in the universe, but not intelligent life. That is a great example of the ego. The ego can comprehend life in the universe, but not intelligent life. Hence their belief system. None of which has anything to do with reality.

It's why paranormal phenomena is difficult to prove. Ghosts, aliens, and all things psychic are ethereal, not physical. Our ego wants psychical proof of things non-physical. The physical proof doesn't exist because it's not physical to begin with.

OK OK I'll stop now.
