Theories about life and beyond
By Keith Pastorek
With help from Stephen Robson
First things first. These are technically not theories because they have not been tested, they are ideas and thoughts from myself and added onto and developed in part by my cousin Steve. For the ease of writing I will refer to these thoughts and ideas as theories through out the rest of this piece. Also, these ideas are loosely based on proven scientific theories but also have some spiritual connotations to them. Also, it is essential you understand that we are using the idea that all energy has a frequency and a wave length, which is the underlying basis for most of the ideas in this article.
Ghost Theory:
To start I will say that it is generally thought through out the world that every person has a "soul". Even science tells us that we all have energy going through our bodies at all times while we are alive and, along those lines, the "soul" can be thought of as that energy. Now the Law of Conservation of Energy states that within some problem domain, the amount of energy remains constant and energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy can be converted from one form to another (potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy) but the total energy within the domain remains fixed. With that in mind it is safe to say that when a person dies the energy that is within their body leaves and disperses or changes into another form but is not destroyed because it cannot simply cease to exist. That energy has to go somewhere whether is changes form or not. Now generally "ghost" sitings are not singular but many "ghosts" are sited in an over all area, like Gettysburg, PA for instance (although it is not impossible for singular sitings as well). In other words "ghosts" seem to be grouped in general areas, which can be very large. It is my theory that in these areas there is some sort of atmospheric or environmental conditions that causes the "ghosts" to be there. I cannot say for sure what any of these conditions are but I believe it has to do with the magnetic fields in or around the area caused by position relative to the sun or from some large amount of metallic ore in the ground. I believe that whenever/wherever these conditions are met it creates some sort of EM field that traps energy. Therefore when a person dies and the energy leaves their body it is unable to disperse or change into a different type of energy.
/*7/14/2009 - updated idea: I have learned that quartz is a very good material for storing energy, especially if located in or near a lot of water and/or limestone. Apparently it creates a sort of naturally occurring battery of some sort that can store massive amounts of energy under the proper conditions. So another reason for 'ghost' energy to become trapped could be if there is a large amount of quartz deposits in the ground, which helps to store the energy or at least cause it to remain in the same general location. */
Now a little bit about why a 'ghost' appears as they did in life. A person's brain functions by conducting a series electrical impulses that store/retrieve memories, govern personality traits, etc. So when the energy from the body becomes trapped as a 'ghost' the electrical impulses of the brain remain the same as well. That is the reason the "ghost" retains the memories and personality traits they had when they were alive. The difference is that the energy has no real physical form to receive new sensory information that allows those impulses to change. So at the moment of death when the energy becomes trapped the electrical impulses are set and cannot change. This is also the reason the "ghost" will remain in the same area or continue to do the same things the person was doing before they died. While alive the body was also governed by a series of electrical impulses that were sent throughout the body to the nerve endings that cover the entire body. Since the nerve endings cover every part of the body then the trapped energy also retains the same pattern of impulses at the moment of death, which is the reason the "ghost" also looks like the person that died.
It may be possible for the "ghosts" to have the pattern altered somehow, but I am not sure what would do it. Without the sensory input to change the electrical patterns they would have to be affected by some other form of energy. Possibly an electrical storm or a powerful magnet could affect these patterns.
Psychic Theory:
Part 1- telepathy/mind reading/thought projection:
The brain operates by a series of electrical impulses that are used to store memory, retrieve memory, operate motor skills, etc. These electrical impulses are made up of energy so they have a specific frequency and wavelength. It is also generally accepted that the average human being does not use their brain power to its fullest potential. This also creates a sort of limited knowledge on exactly what the brain is capable of doing, which is why it is difficult to prove or disprove psychic abilities. My theory is that there are certain people who can utilize more (or different sections) of their brain than the average person. They cannot dive into the minds of other as shown in comic books or movies, but they can "hear" things and "see" things that the average person cannot. The reason, I believe, is that they have some conscious level of control of a section of their brain that others usually do not. This section of their brain acts like a two way radio. It can pick up on the frequency and wavelengths of the electrical impulses in other peoples' brains. So the psychic is not actually going into the other person's mind; it is more like they tune their brain to the frequency of the other person's brain and they can "hear" that person's thoughts like you hear a radio. Also it may be possible that the psychic can broadcast their own thoughts like a radio tower. In this capacity they still do not enter the other person's mind, but the psychic's thoughts are broadcast out and if they are strong enough, can overpower the signals in another person's brain. When driving in the car and two radio stations are broadcasting on the same frequency you can hear them overlap. As you get further away from one signal and closer to the other, the closer one continually becomes more prominent until it has completely taken over the signal. That is the same idea with thought projection. The psychic's thoughts are broadcast so strongly that they take over the normal signals of the other person. This would force the psychic to be within a certain proximity of another person depending on how strongly the psychic can force their frequency out. The other person also affects the outcome of this. If the other person's brain is powerful enough, it can resist the signals being sent in and therefore not be affected by them. Of course another psychic would have very strong resistance, but the average person would have much less.
12/17/2009 Psychic Theory Update:
Have you ever looked at someone and knew what he or she was thinking? Have you ever finished someone else's sentence without even meaning to? Often times this happens with like-minded people, especially if those people spend a lot of time around each other. The premise of psychics in this article is that they have the ability to adjust the frequency of their own brain to match the frequency of another person's and essentially can then "hear" that persons thoughts. I believe that when you "know what someone is thinking" or "finish someone's sentence" that it is a form of the same psychic phenomenon, albeit to a much smaller degree. Through observations and conversations I have found that people with very similar personalities are more apt to experience this type of thing. The reason, I believe, is that their brains are functioning on frequencies very similar to each other. And since frequency can change slightly at any given time, I believe that at certain moments, the frequency of these people's brains will match exactly, even for a split second. So while neither person experiences "mind reading" like an advanced psychic would, at that moment they literally know what each other is thinking before the frequencies change again and disconnects. We can then take this one step further with the example of twins. Fraternal twins often have this "ability" to a greater extent that any two unrelated people would, since they were in the womb together. It is not a true psychic connection, but they are more predisposed than two random people would be, even if they are like-minded and spend a lot of time together. Now we can go one more step further and look at identical twins. Identical twins were originally one egg that split after fertilization, leading to something like a 98 or 99 percent identical DNA. Since they share the same DNA the frequencies at which their brains operate should naturally be either identical, or SO close that they match up more often than not. This is the reason that identical twins seem to have that psychic connection to each other, even without being able to psychically connect to anyone else. Of course these connections are still dependent upon the proximity of the people involved, because however close the frequencies are, unless they are within range of each other, the connection cannot be picked up. Similar to how a radio station in California can broadcast on the exact same frequency as one in Boston, and never have any overlapping. But if those same stations were both moved close enough to each other, the signals would overlap and intermingle.
End Update.
Part 2- precognition:
This section is difficult to explain because so little is known about what time actually is and how it works. The general consensus is that time is some form of energy that is in "constant motion". Many believe that time can be explained with a loop or ring theory. Let's suppose that time is a loop or a ring. Then technically it has no beginning and no end because it continues to "flow" back over itself infinitely. We have all heard the phrase "history repeats itself". For now we will go with this idea, but in later sections we will elaborate and throw out more possibilities. However we describe the flow of time, the basis that it is some form of energy still remains. Since time is considered energy we will of course continue with the ideas previously stated. All energy has a frequency and a wavelength. As we established before, we consider psychics to be people who can control/access parts of their brains that the average person cannot. My theory is that psychics who can predict the future can access an additional part of the brain as well. However this part of the brain seems to be accessible by almost everyone to some degree, but I believe that psychics have much more control and/or can access this part of the brain much more easily and for longer periods of time. The premise is of course that this section of the brain can tune into the frequency and wavelength that time "operates" on. Since time is a constantly flowing energy and it loops back over itself infinitely, it makes sense that once you are tuned in you can "see" any point on the "ring". The idea that history does repeat itself makes sense because at some point the flow will go over a spot that it has already been at. On this "ring" of time there are markers, or flags, of some sort where the same basic thing happens every time the flow gets to that point on the "ring". These are major events such as wars. It is like a race track that goes around in a circle. The car will continue to drive around the track and will eventually always get back to the same point but it will be a different lap around. Now let's suppose there is a big pothole on the track. The pothole will remain in the same spot and when the car reaches that spot in each lap it has to contend with the pot hole. The same idea goes with the time "ring". Now still using the race track, it may be possible for the car to go around the pothole or avoid the pothole in some way. On the "ring" of time it may be possible to avoid the aforementioned marker, but it does not mean the marker is not still there. At some point on another "lap" the marker could be hit and thus history repeats itself to some degree. Now still using the race track again, let's imagine that some work was done and there is now a speed bump on the track. The speed bump cannot be avoided because it is stretched across the entire width of the track at a certain point. So every single time the cars come around the track they have to contend with the speed bump because there is no way to avoid it. This would be like major events on the time "ring". Things that happen every time around; constants that do not change. It can be compared to the four seasons. You know that there will be four season through out the year. It is constant and does not change. You can predict that it will be harder to drive in winter because of the snow, because you know that winter will most definitely come. It is constant. My theory that psychics can tune into the frequency of time explains how they "see" the future in part. They do not actually see the future per say, they just see a point on the "ring" that is not the same point they are at at that moment. There will always be something there because time has already flowed over that point, but the image of that point may not be the same for everyone. If a person can "see" the future they will see the general happenings at that point in time but the specifics would be inconsequential. It is my thought that at that point the person sort of creates a more specific image in their mind based on the knowledge they have at that time. When you read a book you will often try to guess the ending of the book based on what you have read so far. It may be possible for you to accurately predict the ending but you will not know the specific details until you reach that point. So in your mind you create an image if what you think the ending will be like. The same idea goes for the psychic who "sees" the future. The psychic cannot see specific details, but creates an image based on what they know. As stated before I believe that most people can access this part of the brain to some extent. It is known in general as déjà vu. The average person usually "sees" the future while in a relaxed or dreamlike state. Their conscious mind is not concentrating on anything specific so this other part of the brain is, for lack of a better word, pushed to the foreground. The person usually does not realize what has happened until they reach the point where they experience the déjà vu. At that point they remember "seeing" the same thing happen before, exactly how it happened now. This is often times more specific but does not have long intervals between when the person "sees" the future and when it actually happens.
Part 3- ESP (seeing "ghosts"):
By now this should be easy for you to figure out. Having already explained ghosts and psychics it is easy to conjure the idea of how people (especially psychics) can see ghosts. A part of the brain tunes into the frequency that the ghost exists on and can there fore see the ghost. Once the brain is tuned in it is easy for it to force the eyes to see what is there. A powerful psychic may be able to tune into more than one frequency at a time, allowing them to see multiple ghosts at once (or "read" multiple peoples minds at once). It may also be possible for the psychic to affect the ghost in some way. As explained above the ghost has no sensory input to change the electrical pattern they are trapped in. If a powerful psychic were to broadcast a signal strong enough it could possibly overpower the signal the ghost is on and either alter the ghost (pattern of electricity) or completely destroy the pattern, in effect allowing the energy to change form and disperse.
Various Time Theories:
Loop/Ring theory:
This idea is that time is circular like a ring or loop. There is no beginning and no end and because of that time continuously "flows" back over itself. This theory is probably the most common because the general public seems to accept and even like the idea that history repeats itself. This theory also lends to the future telling psychics because the time energy will always have the same frequency and wavelength.
Wave theory:
This is probably the hardest theory to explain. You need to visualize this one so I will attempt to illustrate it as best as I can. Think of a glass of water. If you drop something directly in the center it will create ripples that will extend out in all directions across the surface of the water. If these ripples were strong enough then when they reached the water's edge and hit the surface of the container they would instantly rebound and ripple back towards the center. This is pretty much how the wave theory works. There is a sort of central point, which we will call the nexus, where time starts from and expands out from. At some point (this is really only speculation) time hits a boundary and comes back in towards the nexus following the same wave or ripple pattern. It is also possible that time continues to extend outward and never rebounds upon itself; neither option can be proved or disproved. Either way this theory lends to the idea of the future telling psychics. While history (time) may not actually repeat itself (if the idea that it extend out infinitely is used) it still has a symmetric pattern that it follows. There are high points and low points on the wave where it is possible that the frequencies are different, even though the wavelength stays the same. This suggests that when a psychic "tunes in" to the frequency of time they can only see what happens at that frequency. This would explain why a psychic cannot just see everything that will happen in the future, but instead only portions. Again, the idea that when a psychic "sees" the future they superimpose their own knowledge onto it explains why they still put their predictions into terms they know now. Let's take a well known example and try to fit it to this theory: Nostradamus. Most of his predictions were for events that would happen in the distant future from his own time. Going by the wave theory this would make sense because the wave would not be at the same frequency for many years to come. Also, Nostradamus could not explain the events he saw as they actually happen because he did not understand the technologies, etc of the future time. That is why he described them in his quatrains using words and images of his time to try to best explain what he saw. This also makes me think that the wave does rebound onto itself because then it explains that all time is still connected and that is how the psychics can see the future, because the wave has been over that point before. If the wave extends outward infinitely then there is no way to tell the future because time has not yet reached that point. (Amendment: rereading this section I thought of something that contradicts the last line about not being able to tell the future using the wave theory if the wave never rebounds. If the wave does indeed extend out infinitely then that means the wave may be far ahead of the person "seeing" the future. Like I stated before, no one knows exactly how time works; perhaps time already exists ahead of us but all the exact occurrences are not set in stone. If this is the case then the psychic could possibly see the future, again imposing their own knowledge onto it, but it is not the absolute future, it is only a possibility. Some predictions actually turn out to be the catalyst that causes and event to take place. It makes you wonder if the prediction had never been made, would the event ever take place. - 3/31/2006 - KP)
String theory:
This theory is that time is more like a string waving in the breeze. While the speed of movement along the string is constant the string itself can move around freely. This theory suggests that history does not repeat itself and therefore nullifies the idea of psychics seeing the future. This theory (in my opinion) is not logical. The universe was created with balance. Light, dark, hot, cold, matter, antimatter, good, evil are all opposing forces that are (or at least attempt to be) in perfect symmetry. So time, while not necessarily having a duality could not be as random as the string theory suggests. I believe that time must be more systematic, and therefore I do not believe the string theory. I do however appreciate the idea which is why it is in this document.
God theory:
This idea may disturb some people, so you may not want to read this section. First things first: GOD. The most general explanation of GOD is a being that is omni-present throughout the universe; a spirit if you will, that exists in everything. Scientifically this is said to be the energy that exists within all matter. In every particle of matter energy exists in the form of protons and neutrons. GOD is like the connection between this energy and therefore exists in everyone and everything at all times; hence the omni-presence of GOD. So in essence, according to this idea, GOD is energy. This is where things get really weird. It has been hypothesized to me that time and gravity are one in the same. When I first heard this I thought it made no sense, but as I thought about it, it seemed to me that it does make sense. There are correlations that show us this in a minor capacity, so it makes sense that it would continue at higher levels. Take for instance flying in an airplane compared to driving in a car. A trip from New York to Florida by car would take well over 24 hours to travel even if you drive non stop the whole way. Now if you were take a plane it would only take a few hours, not anywhere close to 24 hours or more. So we see that by using a plane to, in a way, defy gravity, we also shorten the time it takes to travel. A more fictional example exists in the first Superman movie. When Superman flew around the world backwards and reversed the time flow of the earth you see objects that had fallen and crashed down, going in reverse and rising back up against gravity. I realize that is just a movie, but it shows the correlation in a way that I think most people could imagine. Let's say you knocked over a priceless vase and it smashed. If you imagine now that you could reverse time just two minutes then you could avoid breaking the vase, and when you reverse time you see the vase un-smashing and flying upward back onto the table. According to the idea that was told to me, if a person can learn to master one (time or gravity) then that person will instantly be able to master both. So if a being can master time/gravity then they will have the ability to be anywhere at anytime, thus becoming omni-present. Once the being has achieved this level they no longer need a physical form and the energy in their body leaves and becomes omni-present energy. Since the being is now omni-present energy, it exists everywhere at all times, essentially making it GOD. Now since there is already energy (GOD) in existence, this new being cannot be everywhere at all times without merging with the already existing energy. When the two energies merge it changes the frequency and wavelength ever so slightly. The new energy was a living being and had its own thought patterns and personality. When incorporated into the already existing energy it can change the overall "attitude" of it. This can account for various times when GOD is highly present in a good way, to being neutral, to being present in a bad way. Since the energy is everywhere at all times, it affects everything. If good beings reach this level then it affects everything in a more positive way, hence times when GOD is present in a good way. If more bad beings are added into the mix then it can sort of neutralize the good beings and GOD becomes a neutral presence. From this point more bad beings can be mixed in and GOD becomes a negative force, or vise versa. It's just an idea.
