Hello
It has been years since I've spent any time on these newsgroups and times
seem to have changed - there seem to be a lot more people "selling stuff"
than there are people discussing stuff these days - but I'll try to
discuss
and see how it goes...
My friends and family are, for the most part, either completely
spiritually
shallow (as in my apathetic agnostic husband who doesn't know and doesn't
care) or are completely spiritually gullible to one extreme or the other
(as
in "my preacher said it so I know it must be true!" or "the lights just
flickered and no one is near the switch so I know there is a ghost in this
room!") Needless to say, trying to have an actual, reality based,
open-minded yet objective conversation with any of these people is next to
impossible.
Several years ago I had heard a rumor that an ex-roommate of mine had
died.
Since I have not lived in that town in 15 years, I had never found out if
it
was true or not. Earlier this month, the thought of her popped into my
head
and I decided to look it up, just to "know". Sure enough, there she was
at
the social security death records site - the strange thing is that the
date
of her death was exactly nine years to the date that I was looking it up.
That is a strange coincidence, I think.
I've been too busy in recent years to dwell much on the subject of the
supernatural - but that really made me stop and think.
So recently, I've been thinking about how to look for proof. And now I'm
at
a standstill. One lady at worked showed me a photo - which is proof to
her...
....it was a photo at her graduation & there is a man sticking his head up
out of a crowd of people smiling at the camera -- she says this is her dad
who had died before that. She also showed some photos of her dad while he
was alive and yes, this man very well can be her dad. She said she went
over the video of that day over and over again and could not find the man
in
the photo (in case it was just someone who looked like her dad). She had
also taken the photo to Wal-Mart to have it blown up - you can see it has
not been altered in any way. So she is convinced her dad was at the
graduation.
Okay - intuition tells me she is correct. But logic tells me the picture
is
just a man who resembles her dad.
As I left work in the morning, a chill went through me - telling me "yes,
that was her dad". But chills are not objective...
Oh - I really do want there to be life after death - I really do hope this
is not all there is - but something else tells me this is mere wishful
thinking. It is just far too sad to think this is it.
So I'm sending this letter off into cyberspace, hoping someone has been
thinking along these lines - someone with some intelligent thought to
offer...
More about me - you can start at
http://itsmysiteicandowhatiwant.com/metaphysicalproof.htm
- I started
writing some along these lines a few nights ago - the site is just some
random stuff going through my head - nothing great, but I hope to build on
it. Oh - the site is not always serious - while this subject matter is
very
serious, I am going to joke about it too because some of what I have found
in my search is just too funny to ignore -- and anyway, if this is all we
have, why not laugh a little too? Right?
Okay then. I hope this reaches the right person/people. Here it goes...
