What do YOU think it takes to be a ghost when you die?

Hm. I don't think becoming a ghost is a goal we should aspire to.

Nothing about being in this state rings "fabulous vacation."

It must have something to do with confusion, fear, and avoidance.
So, in my mind, whatever it "takes to become a ghost," isn't good.

You can learn any or all of this of course but it is a bit much for this thread. I would suggest we U2U any questions you might have and I can answer them there. If there is broad interest I will start a thread. I have already side tracked this thread enough I think but I sensed your interest.

This is correct. It's not a walk in the park, you can't take your firearms to the other side, so what will your defense be when you become a ghost and the other ghost start taunting you?

It's No fun

the answer is simple: they dont go towards the tunnel of light that appears. They decide to stay because they are too attached either mentally or emotionally to the material world.

If one completely 'dies' then there would be no 'ghost'.

If the process of death is not complete, then a 'ghost' may happen.

It's that simple to define when it happens, yet it gets more complicated from there when you ask about the different degrees of death. For example, there are people that have severe pain because of an accident. CRPS and fibromyaliga is common in 'near-death' accidents. Actually, these people did experience a degree of death, yet they don't know how to focus (or ground) their body and soul together. In this sense, they are more like 'unrestless spirits', yet of course you see them like any other person. Yes they can be healed even if science doesn't fully understand how to heal them.

Those are people still with a body, and I'm sure you wonder about those that don't seem to have a body. Our insect and animal friends tend to take care of those without a body. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you might find this process happen when you look into spider webs and find a 'ghostly form'... sure... you may pass it up as a coincidence *wink*

I think it takes a certin amount of belief in becoming a ghost.But i would like it better if i moved on to another plane of existsence.

Good luck finding the answer

Hmm I think for the most part just a feeling of not resting due to unresolved problems or things you cant rest for. I also think the location my help in the paranormal

First, your assumption is wrong. Everybody does not know that. Second, the dead person would need someplace to haunt and lastly, it would need someone to notice them doing it.

This same discussion came up a few days ago and my opinion was do not go to

the light when you die if you want to stay Earth bound. The soul is tired

of being reincarnated endlessly and memory being erased electrically each time

you are sent back to a new human fetus baby body. ^Y^
