Post #106 "Ghosts"

How would you feel about walking through a cemetery, alone, at midnight? Why the creepy feelings? What about ghosts? Is a ghost our popular perception of a ghost or could a ghost be nothing like imagined? Creation is made up of Time, Place, and Matter. Time, Place and Matter are thus image, as is creation itself because creation has beginning and ending and does not exist to Reality. Consequently, Time, place, and Matter are nebulous. We have the ability to transcend what we have created. It's all a matter of choice. If one were to transcend Time, in other words to remove Time, anything that ever happened in a particular Place would be happening all at once. Instead of history being an unfolding linear line, history would be an event. We have the ability to see beyond Time if we so choose and allow that ability to develop. If and when we see outside of created Time, we would experience the totality of history in that particular Place, including the people of the history of that location. If a 'ghost' seems to 'appear', what happens is that the very misty and fragile covering of Time is permeated and one is viewing history, the total history of that place, from beginning to end, from past to future. The ghost could be a ghost from the future. The action of the event is not on the part of the deceased, the as of yet unborn, the 'ghost'of the deceased unborn, but on the part of the viewer who has managed, for one small fraction of Time, to peer beyond the created walls of that particular dimension of creation. Charles Dickens had it right......there are the ghosts of the dead and ghosts of the deceased future. (those who have died in the future, even though in our Time they are not yet born!)

The same effect applies to the perception of Place. If Place were removed, then everything at a particular Time would be happening in one scene. Now imagine removing Time and Place, which are both nebulous. Then everything that ever happened or will happen would be happening all at once.

Matter is also nebulous and is reducible to energy. One could say then, that Matter does not exist. So if Matter does not exist it doesn't seem to matter if Time or Place exist. Now....what about that walk through a cemetery at midnight?
