How Many People Belive In Ghosts?

don't forget that any argument made for or against this, is based on human perception. and as all cannabis users know, our perceptions can be changed sometimes with the simplest means possible (mmmm...sweet sweet cannabis)

Technically you are right. By the current laws of physics, they cannot physically reside in our reality/dimension. However, if you delve into the field of quantum physics you will discover some theories that might (notice I say might) allow for spirits to physically manifest in our realm of existence. I won't go into detail here because I simply don't feel like giving a quantum physics lesson to the minors and some of the less than inteligent people on these boards.

------------

quantum physics
n. (used with a sing. verb)

The branch of physics that uses quantum theory to describe and predict the properties of a physical system.

-----------

quantum theory
n.

1. A theory in physics based on the principle that matter and energy have the properties of both particles and waves, created to explain the radiation of energy from a blackbody, the photoelectric effect, and the Bohr theory, and now used to account for a wide range of physical phenomena, including the existence of discrete packets of energy and matter, the uncertainty principle, and the exclusion principle.
2. Any of various specific applications of this theory.

I apologize i should have said those who.....then that

I have always been interested in the mechanics of quantum physics but do not have the time to indulge into it enough to fully understand it. Can you reccomend some readings to begin with?? Not something like quantum physics for dummies:)

damn...ummmm...it's hard to remember the titles since I read them back when I was 11-13. I think most of them aren't in print anymore as they were already somewhat old when I read them.

There is one book that I've read recently though that you might enjoy. The book is called "The Fabric of the Cosmos : Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality". While it doesn't deal exclusively with quantum physics, it will explain a good amount of it. It will also detail some string theory, classical physics, M-Theory, and other higher (no pun intended) mathematics.

The truth is that everything in this reality is made up of conciousness. every atom and every cell are all inhabited. the cells that make up your body as well as the air around you and even the hardest chunk of metal. as far in all directions as infinity
you should read the book "The holographic Universe"

no i would get the fuck outta the room. No one has ever actually said they have properly seen a ghost and when its dark and quiet its easy to imagine things that aren't even there that can shit you up easily but at the end of the day i believe there is something out there which is not human. "The truth is out there":stoned: :stoned: :stoned: :D

Think about it. There are BILLIONS of people who have died (not counting all the Neanderthals and the dinosaurs and all...). If even say .01% of those people became ghosts and still roam the earth, there should be MILLIONS of ghosts all over the place. If they exist they should be a daily occurrence and their existence should not even be in question. We should be running into naked ghosts all the time.

thats funny that you said that. i sometimes think bout that when im wanking. what if a ghost is watching me but then i say fuck it and return to wanking.

You have a very good point, but I'd love to think there is something after death. Woohooo, im going to make sure i die in a cool top, jeans, with a joint in my hand, cos then i can smoke it forever when i die!

I wouldnt mind seeing a ghost and if i could communicate with them, i would actually ask, want any weed? ... It would be interesting to know if they saif yes lol

I believe in ghosts. I used to be in one of those ghost tracker units..
Being able to see into the higher plane (4th dimension/astral plane) is called clairvoyance. Many are gifted with this "extra sense" (its more like an ability that fell into disuse) and it's an ability you can develop with education and practice.
Some spirits seem to be able to cross into our plane partially. I can't explain how they do this.

i hike in the mountains alone a lot.
every two months for 1 weekend
i go on a solo.i spend the night by myself
in a trail camp of my choice.
one night i was at a spot called
fish canyon river.there was no one around.
it took me over four hours walking to get there and i didnt
see anyone.at night i made a lil fire ate and went to sleep.
in the middle of the night i heard laughing and footsteps
but i coulnt see shit.i really felt someone there.i got the chills
and my back tensed up like an animal.i was scared.
it was a warm night but a very very cold gust of wind
passed thru me.i knew right then that this was special.
i just sat back and wondered.

Yeah I believe in ghosts when I'm on a hallucinogen :p.
