Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Only altered. Undeniable physics.
So when we die, I believe the energy of us still lives on, just changes to another form - we are more energy than solid matter, so the body dying means nothing much at all. This is such a huge subject, and also there has been so much recent research of parallel universes, did you know that even now computers are being developped that can talk to each other in different dimensions? And this by the ministry of defence, we know a guy who knows... a LOT of money is spent on this.
I can feel my late twin brother sometimes, or someone else in the room, and Howard does, too, many visitors remark on a presence in our house, but it's not a bad feeling, just kind of belongs there. What does it matter if the our brain or someone else's brain has abilities to make things happen, well some of us have the ability to pick up on energy easier than others. Just becasue we don't perceive everything all the time doesn't mean it's not there.
I used to have a 1st floor flat in the middle of town, and sometimes just for fun I would look at people walking by in the street, they couldn't see me, and some kept turning around, obviously feeling watched, and some others just walked on, probably never felt anything at all. Find it fascintating, this is just one example of picking up on energy, why should it be different for a suitable wave length from the energy left by someone who's body had died, or something that is about to happen, or something that is maybe happening in a parallel universe right now...? If we couldn't pick up on energies our instincts would be non-existent, because that's exactly what it means, so when we go to a place and feel creeped out there is a reason, we have been given those abilities to protect ourselves. I can't run very fast but I can smell trouble a mile away, probably just as well, it all balances out.
The confusion to my mind is not that there are energy fields from history, places, people, occurences like accidents, shocks or great joys and devotions, but the labels given to it all, and when we witness something unexplainable we try and make sense of it within the confines of this very limited rational mind of ours, who cannnot usually explain any intuition or instinct in the first place, even love or chemistries between people can hardly be explained.
I went to one of those clairvoyant evenings once, didn't reckon much on the woman on stage, very staged, but two seats away from me sat a woman in here 70's and in the breaktime she said to me, I'm sorry I hope you don't mind me saying, but you amused your late twinbrother today, he is still laughing as he is telling me. I was really shocked and sceptical and cross all at the same time, and I say oh yeah, how's that? And she said, you tried and tried and tried to get this ink stain off the wall today (which I had, and even when you tried to overpaint it, it kept comign back through, he thought that was highly amusing. And he really likes the flowers you hung up in the staircase.
Both were true, that green fountain pen or felt tip ink stain I had struggled with that day, and the hanging basket with flowers I had hung in the staircase. She knew. Totally genuine woman, we became friends after that, and every now and then she would come out with something that was just obviously not made up. And she couldn't conjure it up, she said she has no abiltiy to do that, stuff just comes in her head, she can't MAKE it happen, but she can hear and see the people talking. And she told me what I could do, too, and she is right, sometimes I just know things, but again, it's totally spontaneous, to my mind it's something about certain frequencies we can just tune into and others we can't. Not that dissimilar to radio or tv waves, who really believes that until they see the proof?
