what do you think a ghost is?


i think some ghosts are not dead people, i think some ghosts are people alive who are simply not quite in our demention like when your can hear 2 radio stations at once

Hmm... actually that is a very good point...
But would that make astral creatures ghosts as well, since they can dwell on the earthplane without being tangible?

i dont think so, i think its more like those things that we think our ghosts are actually not ghosts. its more of a miscatagorization then an expansion of a catagory

I think that ghosts are not all dead people as well. I believe in reincarnation, and that ghosts are the spirits that decided not to live again, or that got lost on their way. I also beleive that the longer a soul stays a ghost, the more powerful they become. I believe this is how we get demons and such.

Can't prove it, but although that's a good way to get a mutated angry "ghost," demons are altogether a different species, if you will.

Poltergeists aren't classified as ghosts because they are caused by troubled energy, usually young children manage to "create" them. They can cause serious trouble but often just move things around or make noise until they vanish.

mmm
in my opinion, a ghost sounds like a term applied to that dimensional being that wanders in a certain period of time, in a certain concetrated place on this plane of existence.
like, not a living thing in our terms but a being forlorn for something...

:O What about helpful ghosts (those staying behind to help others, or wait for loved ones such as spouses)? The ones that are happy, I mean, and just waiting...  
PostPosted: Fri May 01, 2009 12:57 am
spirits, since they sorta qualify as guardians though it sounds more like a term.
nature spirit, guardian spirit [like an angel though they seem to entirely different beings], potao spirit, animal spirits...
so then a spirit must that of a certain guardian, sorta like a genie....

mmm

need more research...

I know there are "master guides" on the other side, to guide others to reincarnation, as well as helping them choose life lessons and to get over guilt and such. I can recommend an amazing book if you'd like.

nah, ill pass.
reading is not my thing...
i havent even finished 'Faust'... its in poetry from and in german X_X

mmm whatever it is, the reincarnation thing sounds more like a giant recycling bin...
wonder if i can achieve nirvana, my life feels surreal!

I always tought it's the soul of person that hasn't moved on yet. Caused by emotional things, or someone hasn't sais goodbye to it yet.
