But in most cases, we are ill-equipped and untrained in subtle energies and people resist change of concepts and challenge of realities. <br /><br />I think that is why I like psychics, people who meditate, cosmologists, and physicists so much, they are willing to entertain thoughts and theories outside the proverbial box and the universe.Ronda Laveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902846545309643023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-75027770361888395822009-09-03T08:03:28.696-07:002009-09-03T08:03:28.696-07:00Some great stuff to consider here.

Not ghosts exactly, but I like the way they played with the idea of humans being sensitive and receptive to energies that defy traditional explanation while being ill-equipped (or at least poorly trained) to interact with them.<br /><br />And if you want to switch from ghosts to UFOs and go ever farther back, I always liked the way that "Communion" starring Christopher Walken handled the idea of the human mind trying to handle images and experiences that destroy our fundamental conceptual underpinnings. The film looks dated now, but I think it still has some merit.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834538866855172575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-61095689828730510942009-09-02T21:10:45.323-07:002009-09-02T21:10:45.323-07:00Linda: Thank you so much for all of the informatio...Linda: Thank you so much for all of the information on the writer. All of those stories you listed have an esoteric streak in them. I thought he knew more than the average bloke and you confirmed my hunch.<br /><br />Reya: You are so right about how the spirits in Sixth Sense were portrayed. It was totally right on. And in Ghost Town, the ending felt to me like some Hollywood producer came along and said, "you can't end the story like that it needs to be like this."Ronda Laveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902846545309643023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-28302764579960724932009-09-02T16:31:14.079-07:002009-09-02T16:31:14.079-07:00This is great!

I, too, find that most spirits or ghosts are lost and kind of clueless about their situation, neither maleolant nor particularly helpful. The ancestors, to me, are spirits that have crossed oer and then chosen to return to help the living. <br /><br />The film The Sixth Sense was incredible in terms of how perfectly it depicted ghosts. (It was rather tedious, the film that is, but the way they described the wandering spirit - wow - it was right on.)<br /><br />I like Greg Kinnear, too. I'll have to put this on my netflix list.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-3403830629548413602009-09-01T20:52:35.701-07:002009-09-01T20:52:35.701-07:00This was written by a top screenwriter/director Da...This was written by a top screenwriter/director David Koepp along with John Kamps. Koepp has screen written things like Angels and Demons, Indiana Jones and Kingdom of Crystal Skull, War of the Worlds, Spider Man, Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible and many other good films. <br /><br />I've not seen the movie but I really like Greg Kinnear. So will have to look it up. Thanks for the review. <br /><br />I agree with you. Sometimes they are close by to inspire and guide us.

Your experiences are fairly extensive for someone who blocks it out. I'll bet those nurses do have some interesting stories to tell and that exorcisim story sounds intriguing. But I think you have the right attitude about peacefully co-existing with the energies present.<br /><br />Thanks for the slide show 411. I have found the Picasa and I also found out how by cleaning up those photos you loose them out of your Blog and vice versa. Sorry about the pictures you lost. I'll check it out soon. <br /><br />Baino: Yes, I do tell my clients what they've said. And, actually, they remember everything too. It is not like you see on TV or in the movies where the hypnotist has control and you don't remember a thing. As a therapist, it is my job to get you into a place of relaxaing, keep you on track as to what you stated is the intent of your session, and document the session. So I always record or transcribe the session and give them a CD and/or transcript. I have collected many amazing stories over the years.<br /><br />Megan: Very.<br /><br />Otin: For a long time I didn't believe in ghosts either but over the years, I've heard and seen enough stuff that I can't say for certain that they don't exist either.Ronda Laveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902846545309643023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-41302245726132157982009-09-01T16:18:05.313-07:002009-09-01T16:18:05.313-07:00I still don't believe in ghosts!

Do you tell your patients what they've said? I don't believe in the 'other side' so I'm intrigued at what emerges from the subconscious.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-34600425669175420492009-09-01T10:51:00.866-07:002009-09-01T10:51:00.866-07:00I think there are so many things between heaven an...I think there are so many things between heaven and earth that we can't rationally explain and it would be short sighted to dismiss the supernatural. I tend to block it out of my life for some reason - even though I am often in very "high energy" environments: once worked in a nursing home (the nurses had some amazing stories to tell), I live in a house a lady died in and I work in an old heritage building that is supposed to be haunted. The Spirit Society of BC did an exorcism there once. I work the late shift, sometimes all by myself. I just don't pay much attention and don't get spooked. Maybe because people like to attach dramatic and "bad" labels to what may be going on - and I refuse to believe in that badness. So I guess I just peacefully co-exist with what's around me. Doesn't mean I'm not a believer. And if someone's got a message for me: I am all ears! :D<br /><br />In terms of the slideshow. It's so easy, it's not even funny! All the bloggers at Blogspot who post any kind of imagery have them stored at Picasa (another nifty Google tool - much like Flickr). I found out by logging into Igoogle. At Picasa you just make that default album that's already there public and create a public url for yourself. Then you can use the blogger slideshow gadget and just point to your Picasa url. Done! <br />A little warning, though: careful with deleting stuff in your album, it may disappear in your blog! :-o Had that happen to me because there was a lot of "junk" in there that I didn't want in the slideshow(images I'd posted and then deleted in Blogger were still alive and well in Picasa - so much for the mysteries around us we are not aware of! ;)). My sicklish icons are gone irrevocably. They looked just terrible in the slideshow and I didn't really have a backup. Oh well. <br />Oh yeah: username and password for Igoogle and Picasa is the same as for Blogger. <br /><br />Holy cow, what a ramble post! Hope it made a little sense...Ze O https://www.blogger.com/profile/02224270588806351146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-50868154204288888072009-09-01T10:40:08.542-07:002009-09-01T10:40:08.542-07:00i have been fascinated with ghosts...i have seen e...i have been fascinated with ghosts...i have seen enough freaky stuff to know there is definitely something going on...will have to check the movie out...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378105946451084472.post-991079911203681792009-09-01T08:56:23.240-07:002009-09-01T08:56:23.240-07:00Tony: Yes, if you do find anything out about the a...Tony: Yes, if you do find anything out about the author or back story, please let me know.<br /><br />Candie: Yes, I do past life regression.
