Flat Earther to Launch Rocket Proving Earth is not Round

I disagree on ghosts, I have seen the ghost of my deceased cousin, about a month after his death from cancer. I was fast asleep and I heard his voice 'what are you doing asleep'... I replied 'I am tired'... and then I woke myself up, realizing this was NOT a part of my dream. I raised my head, and I saw a sphere with a near unrecognizable face on it, and I just lay there staring for a moment, now fully awake, wondering what the hell it was. Before I could say a word, the sphere transformed into a miniature version of my cousin, with a green aura, he looked at me, and then he went away, like he was going in a direction and I only got to see him for a moment. I am guessing it was his way of telling me he was okay... and completely in line with his whacky sense of humor.

I no longer fear death, because there is nothing to fear. We leave our bodies yes, but we continue to exist, we can make decisions and we live on with or without a corporeal body. This body we have is NOT US, it is a shell, a container, a space-suit for this reality, that's all. Our energy, our memories, who we are, that all survives even though the brain does not. What we are is truly eternal, only our bodies (space suits) suffer the ravages of time.

The ghosts who have been in a place for a long time, they're the people who believed that they were their bodes, they can perceive no more, and so they remain trapped and unable to move forwards and accept their life for what it was, a brief period of experience.

Think of it a bit like the trill and their hosts. The spirit is the symbiont and the host is the body. Each 'body' brings new abilities, new ways of thinking and being, but the symbont, the spirit, has had many lifetimes, Okay, it's not exactly the same thing, it's a metaphor. I hope you understand.

Oh gosh darnit Why can't women like you live where I am? haha. I used to know a lady like you and we'd have lots of conversations like this and long walks.

Let's agree to disagree. I do like your definition of ghosts but I like mine too.

As for our bodies I've always viewed the body as a vehicle. We get given the keys at birth and have to look after it and maintain it and then it dies, and we either move on or get another one and try again with some of our experiences and memory erased.

I'm sure there is women like me where you live, you just haven't met any of them yet LOL.

I think that there are a lot of definitions of ghosts because everyone has slightly different perceptions, and there is a possibility we could BOTH be right, or both wrong. There are entire shows on TV devoted to paranormal investigations where people go into haunted places and try to see if they can capture any paranormal goings on throughout the night. Sometimes they only succeed in freaking each other out, and sometimes they detect things like a drop in temperature, auditory phenomenon, visual things like small orbs. I find it fascinating. I don't think we will have the full story until we have better technology to detect and measure these things with.

A vehicle is a good way to look at it. I guess we could use lots of words for it and mean more or less the same thing.

Life never ends........I also hope to meet and know such a woman.
 
Sometimes I wonder just what lap Earth was the last time I dreamed I was someone else--as if I shared the same space for a bit.
 
Oooh I did a photo shoot once and we had round circle thingies in the photo yet where I was standing there was no light source to bounce off the camera lens so never worked out what the circle things were.
 
I'd like to see more in that vein--a skeptic's guide to camera artifacts.

I still haven't seen really good images of ball lightning.

Some interesting shots of "something" here towards the end

Oddly not many videos on youtube with actual ball lightning, must be super rare.

I recall reading about ball lighting and how rare it was. One story I read speculated that it had caused a perfectly circular hole in a glass window. But, yeah, this is the first video I have seen of it. Pretty cool stuff.
