Okay, this is going to be a huge post. But anyone that actually reads what I say knows that a majority of my posts are equal to a novel in length.
Alright, you've been warned.

To the people that said they want me to prove it. I can't. I can only simply type what I know and hope you have an open mind to other stuff then what you might have already heard. But I will do my best.
Proof, pertaining to the 'paranormal'/'supernatural' is subjective to the perception of the person viewing said "proof." And because of that, said "proof" becomes almost wholly insufficient for a majority of people. And when one is communicating with various of 'entities' they often do not have the luxury of proof, simply because there is no way to record the conversations to acquire said proof. The only way one could, feasibly, 'prove' to the skeptic mind (which in this case, is my mind) that said communication has taken place, is to have whatever 'entity' you talking to, point you to something that humanity has forgotten existed. Perhaps a relic hidden in the dirt, for example.Ghosts are Easy to explane. They can't touch anything. No matter what a ghost will never move or hurt anything. Ghost are the after body that animals take when they die. Not everyone becomes a ghost. Sometimes the soul will either go straight to heaven or hell. Depending how how much you sinned in their life.
My seven years of experience in both 'ghost hunting' and my own solo 'paranormal' career clearly contradicts this, in so many ways that it's going to be hard to elaborate, in accurate detail.
"Ghosts" from what I have seen, experienced, and various teams I have been a part of have documented are not 'easy to explain.' And they can manipulate the level that you and I exist on, (Some can touch you, throw things, tip over things, etc) and they move (Not all, but a majority. There are always many, many different circumstances relating to the individual "Ghost" ((god I hate that term)) so some stay stationary, but not many, from what I've seen) from room to room, from person to person. Hell I've seen/heard reports from other people of the same "ghost" following the same family for generations. And from my experience, everyone that dies becomes a "Ghost", it does not necessarily mean they stay in the same place, or stay on the level connected to this one, the "Spirit realm" as so many people call it, (which I don't, but I'm using terms other people are used to associating with.)
I'm not even going to touch the heaven/hell aspect of this, bec-- No, I am. In my personal opinion, (My personal opinion and experience, so before anyone decides to label me with hearsay, it's just an opinion) "Heaven" and "Hell" are purely metaphors to get humanity to live life as a decent person. And that if one were to kick the bucket, and was an affront to all these natural and decent, they are wrapped in guilt and they create their own personal hell (which is created from the emotions that they died from) and they can, literally, loop endlessly in their own personal hell (as a soul) wrought with guilt, pain and discontent, until the soul literally comes warped. And "Heaven" merely being you accepting the life you lead, accepting you are now dead and either moving on, or sticking around to screw with the people you loved in life. In my quest for knowledge and the absolute truth, and in my dealings with the dead (and so many other things) I've never seen any pearly white gates, nor any subterranean caverns full of lava, hell fire and porn stars (The later is a joke, well, it's a joke depending on which religion you follow.)Evil Spirits are related to ghost in a some what close way. They are the souls of the dead. But they have so many emotions running through them that they take a different form and can move things or even hurt people. But mainly if these things attack they will do it to kill. So some of those deaths or attacks on people that you may hear from where ever. That just may be an evil spirit.
"Good" and "Evil" are archaic terms to (poorly) articulate one's disposition, and thus, is a very poor choice in trying to elaborate a non-corporeal's mental status. Now, I will agree with you that there are those that die will ill emotions and become hostile, aggressive, and perceive every human around them as encroaching on their territory, and will act out on such a (perceived) threat. Since these distraught "ghosts" have enough emotion inside of them, they are more easily able to manipulate the physical level around them (Emotion = energy. The same is said for humanity. You have more energy when you're happy, less energy when you're depressed. And you can usually surpass your own limits, temporarily, when you are angry. The said can be said for those that are dead.) and 'attack' the humans around him/her/it.She-ra. The only thing that would be doing any draining would be a demon. Nothing else can just take your energy.
That's a big negatory. Many things can take your energy. A plethora of 'entities' as well as 'ghosts' and even other human beings. And they won't just take your energy, they'll sap the energy of batteries along with 'em (Well, not humans, 'ghosts.')
"Demon" is a broad term, once used to describe a great many of 'entities.' The term "Demon" originally meant "Malevolent spirit." In Christianity the word was often associate with "fallen angels." In Greek Mytho's, a demon/daimon was a inferior diety, also a defiled hero. So the term brings forth many images, and is a poor choice of wording, without proper definition (in your eyes) as to what kind of "Demon" you are talking about.Ghost Ship. You do have a point. Demons just don't pop out of thin air. They are born just like other animals But they have many places that they come from. Most popular would be the Underworld. No it's not a place in the middle of the Earth and is different from Hell. Hell is near it. But the Underworld is just the Plains where Demons live and roam. Believe it or not, it's not that bad there. Grass does grow and there is no hell fire what so ever. But demons do come from other places which are still unknown.
There are a majority of 'entities' that devour energy as substance to keep them alive. And they won't just devour 'human energy', either. But before I go into any details about the 'demonic', what are you basing this on, exactly?QUOTE (SS79 @ Mar 22 2008, 06:15 PM)

So you came here to share your knowledge yet show no proof and cant tell us where you learnt these supposed facts . since thats how you state them . Nice .
Class finished I guess

Well, to play the Devils Advocate here (Hey, it fits the theme) what kind of 'proof' are you looking for? It is hard to 'prove' that you know something. Unless you're looking for source material that people have educated themselves on or something. I'm just curious. QUOTE (Spiritual Schooling 101 @ Mar 22 2008, 06:16 PM)

I do have my sources on where I learn these things even though I can't talk about them. Sorry.
I am seeing this trend here recently, and it has me curious. The trend is, "I know a whooooole lotta stuff, but... I can't tell ya where I learned it! Sorry!"
Why can you not elaborate to us how you've learned these things, where you learned it from? For example, my opinions, my "beliefs" come from my experience, and from the career (non-profit career) and path I've chosen to take. Where's your info coming from? It's a valid question.QUOTE
And non of this is Bible crap. Only like ten percent of the Bible is true. So everything I talk about will not be reference to Bible Studies.
You cannot do that. You cannot come under the banner of 'educating' those that are willing to listen, but also potentially slander their beliefs and religions. A lot of people choose/follow/believe the Bible and what is detailed in it's pages, you may not agree with it, I may not agree with what is written in it. But if you truly want to educate the masses, you must remain polite and diplomatic, and respect what they believe in. I know this, cause I often willingly 'teach' those that are willing to listen.QUOTE (Spiritual Schooling 101 @ Mar 22 2008, 06:34 PM)

One I swore an oath not to tell where I learned these things. And I have too much pride.
This has me intrigued. What 'oath' have you taken? And why did you take it? What is the point of this said oath? I've been doing this an awfully long time, and I've gathered a lot of information and "knowledge" over the years, and I've never made an 'oath' to anything or anyone that I won't tell the people willing to listen what I have to say, or where I've learned this or that. That seems counter productive, if you truly want to reach out to the population, you have to abate their curiosity, you have to give them information and the answers they seek before they're willing to trust your interpretation of the truth/reality.QUOTE (Spiritual Schooling 101 @ Mar 22 2008, 08:00 PM)

I never thought of myself as a teacher exept for my friend that I've been teaching on how to see and maybe even combat demons. Which he seems to have his own ways on dealing with them. He is special in his own ways and that's why I've given him the chance to study under me. But I even am still learning. So yes I do see what you mean. I also saw how those were related to me before you pointed it out. But thank you anyways.
How can they fight 'demons' when you're giving any specifications of what these 'demons' are. As I've said, the term 'demon' is too vast a word, and can mean anything from a 'bad person' to a 'vampire' to a 'malevolent spirit' to a 'fallen angel' to 'Satyrs' to practically any 'monster' in Greek and Norse Mytho's and anything in between. One cannot say 'demon' and expect everyone to come to the same conclusion. You say 'demon' and I think of 'entities' that like to toy with humanity and use them as cattle. While someone else can think of fire, brimstone, red skin, horns and a servant to "Satan."-Akaebeel
