Is there anything called supernatural? The spirits etc.? I am sure there are many people who have either experienced it or know of people who experienced it. But this is a rather strange incident by any standards. A guy\u2019s wife died at 69 (and he lived in an erstwhile haunted house) and she was one who would carry her cell with her everywhere. So what did they do when she died? They burried her cell with her. And then after her death, this guy Frank starts receiving SMS messages<\/a> from her! One message came from their home number when he knew no one was there. It seems he gets messages with the words his wife, Sadie, would use but there are no numbers.<\/p>\n

Have you ever experienced such a thing?<\/p>\n

So, when a person dies, why should it be assumed that the Mind is dead also? Does it reside somewhere until it can manifest again? Possibly yes. People who have had near-death experiences or revived after death do talk about a light tunnel and the subsequent experience of a compassionate, loving life. But they also discuss how they \u201chovered\u201d over their body for sometime until they went through the \u201ctunnel\u201d! Now, does this mean that all who die go through the \u201ctunnel\u201d or do some remain hovering around?<\/p>\n

Since in my view \u2013 a physical body represents the kinetic Mind and the soul\/spirit the Potential Mind, its basic characteristics should not differ much. If one\u2019s mind is petty in real life it should not be too different otherwise as well. So in that sense, its a rather superfluous to be surprised of the good\/evil intentions of a spirit and not be shocked at the same contradictions of people within the world?<\/p>\n
