More Evidence

As a doctor of psychology it is my job to assess people who are in a crisis. Day in and out I meet some extraordinary people who have battled with not only mental illness but also the paranormal. Yesterday a client was talking to me about living in a haunted house.

Now for most professionals in my field, they would look upon this as having delusions, as for me, I need to investigate a tad bit more because I lived in one. This person began describing plates falling from the table, books getting tossed from the shelf, and feeling such a dark presence in the room they brought in their Pastor to chase the evil spirit away. Why didn't we think of that? Perhaps we didn't because of the Buddha fountain in our room and it might have given the preacher the wrong message.

I am hungry to find out more about the great beyond. As I get closer to transitional age I wonder if I fear death or pain more? It is inevitable - we all die and we never talk about it. Is it pleasant? Do we instantly come back if we have unfinished business or learning here? Do we hang around in the ether with God for a bit before coming back. Or do was move on - whatever that means. Do we grow spiritually and become an unseen teacher or guide as Gary Zucav wrote about?

Years ago I interviewed a Vietnam vet. This man was clinically dead seven times! He recalled each event and one in particular will always stay with me. Getting shot on the battlefield would probably be the worst. He was shot numerous times and was fortunate to get airlifted out in a helicopter. At this time he had numerous out of body experiences, kept popping out of the helicopter, would freak out and zoom back into his body, would pop out again, wonder if he would return, would, and eventually made it to the hospital in time to be saved. Wow! All he said was he saw the white light, was tempted to go to it, but felt he was too young to die and fought hard to remain. What is in that light? What is on the other side? Are you curious too?
