Aww, thank you both..:wave: back to you ...
Ancestor, as I were saying in previous post, the such belief which many people in my country hold, that ghost is a manifestation of unpeaceful soul of dead person, is fully influence by cultural values. Even when they claimed to be religious people, In Indonesia, we have so many kinds of ghosts :rolleyes: ; each has its own "historical" backgrounds, and some of them have existed since very long time ago (since the time of kings).
My belief has many different kinds of manifestations and that spirit energy exists from all sorts because we are all sorts of people when we are alive. My faith is classified as new age but I have had some paranormal experiences also which were neat but slightly freaky at the same time. Thank you so much for showing me a small insight into your people you have opened my eyes to something new. :)
And that is why I started this discussion. To LEARN. When you have an experience you cannot explain, perhaps someone else has had a similiar experience that may shed light on your own-- provided you don't close your mind. Dragon out. :)Quote:

Im not sure I havent voted. I guess I dont belive in ghost persay as dead people with unfinished buisness but I do belive in the exsistance of what Adil was talking about but not ghosys Jin or Djin if you want to spell it that way somthing else. and as for the dead? I dont know I think maybe the dead are wherever they are can see us but I dont think they are Here.
I have a feeling this post makes no sense at all :D
Edgar Cayce had some interesting work that seems bound to provoke a lot of controversial thought in any reader, and he has turned a lot of heads. Reading his work, he sometimes reminds me a modern Nostradamus combined with, a good friend of his, Aleister Crowley.Quote:

I think it best you select the genre that you feel coincides best with your gift for comparison only.I don't believe Cayce or anyone could or should teach you how to use your gift better.All good things come in time,and as your skill sharpens you decide how best to apply it.Cayce is an authority on his gifts,not yours.
Thank you, no one has put it that way before and I do enjoy learning from others as well it can help me also. Thank you again for your good advice. :)Quote:

There could be one of them right next to you
I do believe one can see those whom are deceased and that people should be more opened minded about life. I feel their energy and I do know when they are watching me but that does make me insane. What do you mean by sane creatures? Would you please clarify that for me? I am interested in hearing more about what you think on this subject.Quote:

And with certain methods, man can rule and "use" them as his wishes, like the one we see in the Aladin story.
This reminds me of the concept of having a 'sixth sense' (no, not the M. Night Shyamalan film), but the idea of having a separate sense from the five common senses (sight, touch, taste, smell, auditory), enabling people to have the 'keen intuition' of perceiving certain phenomena.Quote:

I think I may believe we have a sixth sense. I dunno, I'm confused on this subject. Ever since I can remember 95% of the time I know who's on the phone before I pick it up and now I know who the email is from when the little envelope appears on the bottom of my screen. I always assumed this was normal and only when I was a teenage did I find out that none of my friends could do this. The question is what is "this", is it sixth sense?Quote:
