"Ghost" Writing....

Yes, this is part of my point. But I'm referring specifically to the astral plane. This is the world of glamours, of illusions, and of greatest challenge for humanity. Think a thought, or imagine someone/something, and lo! There it is.

Souls can become trapped here for centuries - not always unhappily so, or irretrievably - but not to any great advantage for their evolution. Also, the astral world has many living inhabitants whose entire focus, or thrust in life, is to become engrossed with a denser, more material level of reality (either the denser astral, or the physical). We usually call that `evil.'

All about point of view, but some of these will, or would, possess us in a heartbeat - given the opportunity. Nature provides safeguards, but not totally impossible scenarios. And I do think there is even plenty of room for the occasional dabbler.

Hey look, the Spiritualistic Movement of the 19th and early 20th Centuries has advanced us light years in our understanding of the world(s) beyond. But for higher inspiration, seek higher worlds. I'm not knockin the life after death. I'm just saying the majority of stuff that comes from automatic writing, even the stuff that seems sensational and revelatory, really isn't anything we haven't seen already.

Is it a real phenomenon (sometimes), in which other agencies, human and nonhuman participate? I'd bet my life on it. It's fun & games for a lot of people, on both sides of the equation ... but it isn't always totally innocent or just about curiosity.

Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread. And I have been, continue to be, a colossal fool, at times.

i'm not sure i agree totally, but you certainly bring an interesting angle to the chat zag...

of topic a bit...i rigged a sceance once - me and my mate ted, tricked 2 of our mates into being thoroughly $h1t scared. we only planned to mess around for a few mins, but it worked so well it went on for hours. imagine a dark room 4 lads round a circular horizontal mirror with scrabble letters on it. i had 3 pieces of string behing going off to various objects round the room which i managed,with much glee to make "fly" at certain times during the evening.
during one speedy vacation of the aforementioned room the scrabble letters were knocked on the floor. i managed to sneek back to the room, whilst the rest were trembling outside, and right "death to all" on the floor. as you can imagine when i finally got them back to the room this pretty much finished them off .
eventually i owned up and showed them the strings - one of them took it quite well but me other mate wanted to take my head off...he didnt and calmed down eventually swearing he'd get me back oneday. he did as well... it was perhaps irresponsible but hey, i was young...

lol I used to do things like that I loved to "encourage" people to chase fantasy and dreams... "There is a ghost here!! aaah" *softly chuckles..* I think my neice and sister got it the worst because they are so set on the 'spirit realm' So they get it at any possible opportunity.

Also young is a state of mind... ;/ I shall be forever young... (laymen terms: forever causing trouble and pulling pranks.)
