DO NOT FORGET: Friday is the "Zombie Walk" here on the blog and many more blogs! Come and see what zombie post I'm putting up and then click on one of the links and go to another participant for more zombies and then another and another until you've walked through all the blogs. If you are a follower and comment on my zombie post that day, your name goes into a drawing for a super sweet zombie prize. It will be a really awesome day for all!
A very dear friend I call "bror" (brother), sent me the book "The Physics of the Paranormal" by Kenneth W. Behrendt. My toes curled at the title of the book, imagine how I felt when I opened it up. My inner geek was giggling in delight at diagrams and studies, explanations and theories.
Here's the chapters:
1. Mental Telepathy and Photography
2. Psychokinesis
3. The Geller Effects
4. ESP and Precognition
5. Ghosts and Poltergeists
6. Astral Projection, Bi-location, Teleportation and Reincarnation
7. Werewolves, Vampires and Bodily Transfigurations
8. Miracle Cures
Epilogue... The Future of Paranormal Research
I hope to write you many posts about the things I've found in this book. Suffice to say that it has my mind working overtime and you do know how I love theories, especially if they have some ground in actual real-life and physics.
I say it all the time, but for the paranormal to be perceived by us, it must enter our rules of physics--work within our realm and therefore is a thing of science not supernatural. Knowing the way it shows itself using our physics, we can learn how to retrieve it, activate it, communicate with it, direct it... it's limitless.
There are discussions of the bodily magnetic fields of sensitives and how they can discern spirit forms, how the electric and magnetic fields in a person's body can be used to do things like erase a magnetic tape. Much of the talk about astral projection touches on a theory I've had a for a long time that at the moment of astral projection or even dream state, we may project ourselves to another location where we are viewed as a ghost form, sometimes only partially visible and only briefly.
You know me, blessed (or cursed) with the ability to read objects, it's discussed in this book that it could be a matter of discerning magnetic and electric fields that were put off by a person and entered objects they came into contact with. I've often wondered at the mode of transport of information and why my mind is able to even translate this information. We all receive it when we touch objects, but only some seem able to take that and notice the stimuli and interpret. That burned out house I tried to read, had lost all its content of readable material--the first sterile site I've ever entered. I actually found a strange bliss in that charred out house I never normally have. I have a high energy person and though I only turn on my psychometry when I focus myself, I know that I am being bombarded constantly with the stimuli and do a great deal with my mind and body to distract myself from stopping and reading these incoming bits of information. That burned out house had lots whatever stored content it once had of the living and like being in nature away from the objects of everyday world, I found my bliss.
This book is intriguing and I highly recommend it to people who like this blog and the idea behind it of knocking around concepts and ideas and looking for more than religion in ghost hunting and old wive's tales, but want to find out the actual mechanisms and hope to unlock the secrets to a new "old" world. Admittedly, some of the theories are totally wacky and out there, but I love that kind of conjecture because it starts the mind going down another path. That's why I do Mind Fuck Tuesday on this blog, to sort of shake your reality a bit and make you view things a new way.
One time, while helping my son brainstorm for an art project, I tossed out random ideas. Finally, he stopped me and said, "This is not helping me. None of these ideas are good. You're going in too many directions." I told him my job wasn't to give him the idea, it was my job to stimulate his mind with my random images to have his mind relate it to something else and then BAM! An idea is born.
Consider this book one long Mind Fuck Tuesday and enjoy! I really did!
