The True Nature of Ghosts
Ghosts have always been a subject of intrigue and debate, with opinions divided on their existence and nature. Eric Dubay, in his video, discusses the reality of ghosts, dismissing common misconceptions that they are sinister or supernatural entities. Instead, he argues that ghosts are merely the souls of deceased individuals, still lingering in the physical realm.
Out-of-Body Experiences and Ghosts
The primary difference between out-of-body experiences and ghosts lies in the ability to return to one’s physical body. While individuals experiencing an out-of-body state can return, ghosts cannot. According to the Bible (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7), the “silver cord” connecting the astral traveler to their physical body severs upon death, preventing the disembodied consciousness from re-entering the body.
Harmless and Trapped
Ghosts are, for the most part, benign entities. As the souls of deceased individuals, they inhabit a subtler body, yet remain trapped in the etheric plane’s lowest region, close to the physical world. Various reasons may prevent a smooth transition from the physical body to the etheric plane upon death. Some individuals might not realize they have died, particularly those who experienced sudden accidents, murders, or heart attacks. Others may refuse to accept their death, while some remain attached to the material world, relationships, or unresolved guilt.
The Continuity of Consciousness
According to David Icke, death represents a seamless transition from one existence to another. The 1998 film “What Dreams May Come” starring Robin Williams, portrays this concept: a withdrawal from the biological computer, leading our awareness to continue its eternal existence in alternate realms of reality.
Ghostly Encounters: Evidence of Existence
Surveys conducted in Great Britain and the United States have shown that between 10% and 27% of the general population claim to have experienced sensory perceptions of individuals who were not physically present, known as ghost apparitions. Respondents in these surveys have recounted vivid encounters with both recent and long-deceased individuals.
Personal Stories of Apparitions
Two examples of these encounters include a woman from Charlottesville, Virginia, who saw her deceased mother’s apparition, and another woman who experienced her husband’s apparition following his death. In both cases, the apparitions communicated with the living, providing comfort and guidance.
Concluding Thoughts
While ghosts and the paranormal may be met with skepticism, there is a substantial amount of anecdotal and scientific evidence supporting their existence. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what to believe about the world of ghosts and the paranormal.
