Some people can see ghosts, some can’t. Why is that? See, the ghosts, their possession, there are three ways. There are three kinds of interactions out there.
There is communication, there is possession and there is apparition. So communication means like you may have heard of planchets where there are some people who are trained mediums and somebody says, you know, I want to communicate with my grandfather, I want to communicate with my uncle who has died. And then there are mediums.
So these mediums, they have some mystical power, some kind of strange powers by which they attract those people. And then they start writing something. Or there is a board on which they write.
And then the messages from the deceased people are transmitted through that board. Now, most of this is hocus-pocus. But there are some cases where it’s very clear.
These are those people who sometimes write in a language which they themselves, the mediums, they write in a language which they themselves don’t know. And it’s legible, it’s intelligible, but they don’t understand. Somebody who knows that language, they understand it.
So mediums have been well documented. Many hoaxes, but there are some authentic also. So that is one kind.
That is simply communication. We don’t see anything, we don’t feel anything. But the person writes something.
So that’s communication. Another level of interaction with non-physical beings is through possession. That they enter into us.
Another level is apparition. Apparition means you see your particular. Sometimes some people say that, Oh, I saw my grandfather over here.
I saw my spouse over here or whatever. So now, again, much of it can be imagination. But some of it is well documented.
So sometimes these ghostly beings have that power. And some people, especially their communication, their connection with that person is very strong. Then they will be able to perceive it.
Some ghostly beings, some deceased beings may have that power to appear in a particular form. And some people may have the capacity to perceive that. The connection between them is very strong when it happens.
So the exact mechanism of how this happens, we don’t know. But there is a research published called where science and spirituality kiss. What is the idea? That they said that if there is a person who is sick, especially this is about spouses.
If the wife is very sick and she has a very loving husband and that husband repeatedly gives positive messages, you are going to be well, you are going to be healthy, you are going to be fine. They found that where there is a loving environment, then in medical cases, two cases were exactly identical. But one person is loud, the other person is unloved.
The loud person heals faster. So now what exactly is the cause of this? Scientists will say that, Oh actually it is that the body has its own healing mechanism and this person feels good because somebody loves them and that’s how they are healed. That’s fine.
But what was also found was that just the thoughts, sending the thoughts, okay, you are going to be alright. See normally when we are disturbed and somebody comes and pacifies us, we feel better. So how do we feel better? Somebody may say, Oh actually when you are anxious, when you are paranoid, there are certain chemicals which are secreted in the brain and they increase our feeling of paranoia.
But words also have therapeutic value. When somebody speaks, assures us, calms us, embraces us, we feel calm. So words affect the consciousness.
So just as words can affect consciousness, similarly thoughts can also affect consciousness. So basically rather than going into specifics, we can focus on the principles. Principle is that there is more to life than physical reality.
