The fact of the matter is Humans deceive humans all the time, so we would expect spirits, if they exist, to still be flawed if they contain some consistent aspect of their former personal identity. Not saying these things are real, but it seems plausible. Now to weigh what is probably, SBU's option 1 might seem so for the time being.Reckless Divinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089033168340261573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502365306449921986.post-17353393387003635492009-02-04T08:40:00.000-08:002009-02-04T08:40:00.000-08:00How is it far fetched?

Of course i cannot prove that is the case, perhaps yes in this case maybe he didn't survive but that seems far fetched because it appears that this spirit did appear to know Oram. Where could that information come from other then either from an entity or his subconscious?.Leo MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261335532022864528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502365306449921986.post-28415835055702371622009-02-04T04:48:00.000-08:002009-02-04T04:48:00.000-08:00But their are certainly more explanations then tha...<I>But their are certainly more explanations then that. One explanation would be that he was not communicating with thouless at all but some other entity and was being deceived by this entity. To me the explanation that another entity who pretended to know Oram is more plausible than the explanation that Thousless didn't survive death. </I><BR/><BR/>This is simply too far-fetched. The obvious conclusion is either<BR/>a) There is no survival - only extinction. There is only anecdotal evidence from a century back that survival is a reality. So ofcourse this is the likely conclusion until better evidence is provided.<BR/><BR/>b) Survival exists but contact with the deceased, mediums etc. does not exists. In this case we will never be able know anything about the other side. <BR/><BR/>On top of this we can envision all sorts of weird explanations but usually in this world is the logical explanation the correct explanation.sbuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595768144954928730noreply@blogger.com
