Ghosts: Ghost Theories

By Julia Jablonski

There are many different phenomena that tend to get lumped together under the label "ghost." Poltergeists, for example, are the projected energy of a living person that causes noises and movement of objects such as doors slamming, electrical appliances turning on and off and objects breaking in the home. Poltergeists often manifest when an adolescent in the home has lots of creative energy and little outlet for it. I believe that it is the repression of one's expanding creative/sexual energy during adolescence that leads to such manifestations. There is all of this energy, and nowhere for it to go.

 Some "ghosts" are simply thought forms, and are perceived through a rip in the fabric of space and time. Intense emotional experiences such as violent deaths or other experiences can create such a rip, so that the intense experience is burned into the fabric of a place. Ghost experiences that repeat themselves over and over again the same way every time are generally thought forms. There is no intelligent consciousness in such ghosts. They do not interact with the living or even seem aware of anything other than their own realities. It's a bit like a short film that plays over and over as the energy of the intense experience plays itself out.

 Of course, sightings or visits from ghosts are very common at the time of a person's death. A woman may see her brother appear at the foot of her bed at night, and the next morning learn that he passed into spirit at exactly that time.

 In some cases, it is possible that ghosts are sentient beings simply living in another time/space reality who reach out to contact others in another realm. For example, we might meditate and reach out to someone in spirit, and from their dimension, we may be perceived as a "ghost." Wouldn't it be silly for them to be terrified of us? Ghosts are no more evil than the living, despite the horror stories and Hollywood hype. By revealing themselves or giving signs of their presence, ghosts and spirits simply seek to communicate with us.
