So, back on Ghosts: Where were we?


One of our followers, Toadbile, positing the idea that if ghosts were emotional recordings upon an area, then one could potentially leave an endless stream of ghosts everywhere they went. While this is a very valid observation, there are correlaries between the act of spell-casting, and how it applies to "thought-form" workings, and this very technique.
The "Endless-Ghosts" are detectable as energies to the particularly sensitive, but are usually limited in scope & ability. The "Topa" effect, accreted though-form deities, and more appear to be the end-product result of this very form of working.

The question I'm working with now is "Is it really them?"
Like a recording of a persons mind into a machine, what defines Identity? Is a recording of a person "The Person"? Are we more than the sum result?
5=5
2+3=5
1+4=5
1+2+2=5
1+1+1+1+1=5

Are all of these the same, just because the result is the same?
No.

The "Recorded Ghost" is not the person. It is merely the result of the person.
It is the topa, the after-image.

Are there holes in this logic?
Point them out to me, and we'll discuss it!

~This Post Intentionally Left Blank!~

Ever have one of the weeks when you thought you were one top of everything, only to discover you "Humped-The-Bunk" something fierce, and no-one told you?

I Blame You Guys! ~Laughing!~

Let me fix, then catch up, and then I'll get on top of those things you've come to almost expect of me! ~L~

Till then, as we say in the shop, "I Aint'nt Dead!"

"While I was away,..."


Someone must have drugged me, hypnotized me, or whatever, and put me in front of my text editing software. Somehow, and don't ask me, "Steal This Book of Shadows" has been UPDATED!

So, I was Contemplating Death, Today,...


Now, in the Season of Death, it's only natural that our thoughts wander to our own mortality. Being witches & wizards, we don't believe in ghost, but know they exist from personal experience. You can even go as far as dividing said-experiences into 'Kinds', like UFO encounters (but that remains for another post).
Simply said: "If ghosts exist, then there is a 'here-after', right"?

There are too many hypotheses to say for certain.
We should cover a few.

#1) "The 'You're Bat-$#!+ Crazy' Theory"
One must keep this in mind, at all times, when dealing with the metaphysical. If you don't question your sanity, you probably haven't got any.

#2) "Whole-Entity Theory"
This works under the precept that any & all ghosts are the whole being. They're just people with the skin-suit stripped-off. "The Whole Enchilada, minus the tortilla".

#3) "Layered-Onion Theory"
The aura distinguishes it's-self into three (or, if Buddhist, Seven) different layers. If this is the case, separate layers, alone or in combination, could have the obligatory "Unfinished Business".

#4) "Emotional Imprint Theory"
This school of thought perceives a haunting as residue; emotions & actions recorded on a locale by strong or repeated events.

I've seen evidence to support most of these (if not all), and would be hard-pressed to name any as dead-cert. This would lead one to find a theory to cover them all, or at least a simple term-set to distinguish between them. Perhaps I'll get to it later, when there's time (he said, words dripping with sarcasm).

You should keep these views in mind, while examining your own image of after-livelihood. Are you going to be a whole ghost, a fragment of energy patterns, or simply an emotional stain on the walls of the place you died?

What do you believe?
Are you Sure?

Maybe you should do some research, perform some field tests, and compile some hypothesis that includes your data.

You really should have some idea of where you're headed in this life.

Duck & Cover!

Well, Yule is upon us, and that means "Busy-Busy-Busy", here in Colorado.

With the online company, family & friends, and more, there's just not enough time to get everything done.
There never was anyway, and Yule-Time; Doubly-So!

I'm taking a break from the Tuesday Night classes, putting them on-hold till no later than February.

Carmin will still be hosting the craft circle, at 10am each Sunday.

If there's any other change in schedule, you'll hear about it here, first.
