There is the “unseen presence” around us. If you meditate or maintain a sensitive or intuitive nature, you’re probably a believer in the supernatural. Opening my heart and mind to the possibility that there is more than this (life) has enriched me greatly. I am blessed for the experiences. BTW Whoopi, you were great in “Ghosts” one of my top ten favorite movies.

and my GOD that is MY FAVORITE MOVIE—-it gave people lots of hope Whoppi

Yep! I have, Yes there is, and been there done that. While on an operating table, I visited with God. I was near death, and experienced some very wonderful, moments - maybe seconds or minutes, it seemed like a good bit of time. Time was unimportant, the experience was important. It is very unfortunate that there are some people who absolutely deny any possibility of near death experiences, spiritual encounters, past lives, and the many fascinating moments on different levels of reality. On this plane or the next there are in fact many differing experiences for each of us. One last thing, some of the most fun moments I experience(d) is while dozing off, or waking up I have heard someone call my name - just as if they were wanting to ask a question, or speak to me. I turned my head to see who it is, and I would say; “What?” There is no one there. It is so clear, and just a normal voice as in conversation with someone. What I now know is someone on the other side, (I call it the other plane) is making contact with me. Oft times it is simply to point something out to me, to get my attention about something which I need to attend to, or let me know they are present with me in that moment. The experience is most often fleeting, and simply matter of fact - nothing sensational. When my mother was still alive we used to have a similar experience - and one of us would telephone the other to find out whatever we needed to relate to the other. My sister and I did the same thing - One time she actually telephoned me and I answered the phone by just asking, “What?” Not hello, not my name or who is this, or any other words. At that time we didn’t have ‘caller i.d.’. Those were the kinds of experiences that I enjoyed the most. Frank, I do not want to discount your beliefs, please don’t discount mine, or others beliefs. (And, no I am not imagining, or hearing voices.)

I meant to add: If anyone wishes to experience such moments, I would encourage you to learn about meditation, and deep breathing techniques, for clearing your mind. Each person, in my experience, has their own method for getting into a deep trance like state.

Whoopi, Ghost is one of my favorite movies. It is a classic film. My mother would get these feelings and would act upon them. I never had that sensitivity and sometimes wished I had. But, I also feel be careful what you wish for because knowing me, I would be scared out of my wits to see an actual ghost. I do believe children see them. My grandniece at the age of 3 once though she saw my mother and called out to her. The two were very close from the time my grandniece was born so I believe it.

I’ve always been truly AFRAID of dead people, for as far back as I can remember. I was so afraid at times that I believe I had night terrors, and firmly believe I’m an insomniac because of my fear. You may think it is truly irrational on my part, but what I believe now may make you question my sanity. I saw a science program on PBS about parallel universes. One scientist says universes exist side-by-side, much like slices in a loaf a bread. Now, I believe what we see are flashes of those universes. There are times when the time is right (a perfect storm of events) for these universes to become visible to the naked eye. What I believe we see are people in these universes instead of ghosts. At 58 years old, I’m no longer afraid of dead people (ghosts).

This kind of stupidity explains why she supports Obama. Grow up girl! There are no ghosts only silly people running from their own shadow.
