I always find it interesting that when a person first begins to study the possibility of a Paranormal Event..the FIRST place they base their claim or "belief" is generally religion. Most feel that for some strange reason they have been touched by God to receive a message from beyond in order to perhaps make an unlivable event ...survivable.
Many times i have sat back an contemplated whether or not the Paranormal is indeed a self defense mechanism of our Brain and soul combined..a way to manage the most painful of all our emotions..grief. I personally believe that approximately 90% of what we investigate are indeed the result of the brains inability to except an "end" and it's means of recovery when we are confronted by circumstances that are beyond our control, whether that be death or the stress of life.
THEN you have the other ten percent. The things that make no sense..the people who are touched by things wholly unrelated to them or their emotional psyche..and yet they are spot on accurate relaters of information. HOW can this be?? WHY does it happen? Is it perhaps the comforting blanket from an all knowing deity who wishes to enhance our faith in an afterlife? Or is it the unique signature of energy that every life form carries..evolving and intelligent and morphing into a different existence? Or better yet..is the paranormal basically the leftover energy of a life that once existed? Perhaps the Paranormal realm is the giant trash compactor of life. WHO knows? I DO know that in this field..i have experienced things i cannot begin to explain ..things that 100 years ago would have gotten me burned at the stake...things that 50 years ago would have gotten me electro-shock therapy. And yet..in this modern era...we see more and more that people are willing to accept some of what we pursue. The scary thing to consider is..are they accepting because somewhere deep inside..they realize that the world has lost it's ability to find good things to aspire to?
Only time can tell.
