Faith is probably the human race’s most endearing quality. Faith in God, faith in our children and even faith in our own ability. No matter how often our faith lets us down, we can always have faith that things can only get better.
Just look at Tony Blair, after his anus horribilis of 2006, here he is, two years on, picking up mega bucks for after dinner speaking gigs, and no doubt secretly gloating over how much better things were with him in power. He may be too humble to confirm whether any mutual praying went on with him and George Dubya, but he has always had incredible faith, in both himself and in his creator. I think he’s the Pope now.
Science one step behind
Science doesn’t deal in faith, it deals in facts. Verifiable, catalogued, corroborated facts. But science is always behind the pace. New techniques are developed every day, new theories superseding old ones, new reputations to forge in the media. 100 years ago the latest scientific process was photographing the eyes of murder victims as; the last thing they saw was their assailant. That was seen as cutting edge, until it failed to show any results, now it’s obviously bunkum. And less than 50 years ago Thalidomide was seen as a wonder drug that would stop pregnancy pains like no other medicine before, or so said the scientists who tested it.
Atomic clocks and quantum physics can only measure so many phenomenons. There are unquestionably forces beyond our understanding. Take identical twins, separate them and they will invariably choose the same clothes, hair do, musical taste (even if they’ve been apart all their lives). They can feel each others pain from the other side of the world and finish each others sentences. So, how can that be explained? Two bodies but only one soul? Telepathy? Jedi mind powers? One things for sure, science can only fudge a theory.
So then, if science can’t get to grips with anything that’s not a trillion years old or too small to see, “who you gonna call” if there’s a ghost? Certainly not a TV series where the hostess freaks at the mere creak of a door. Maybe you could get a team of paranormal investigators to stop train spotting for a night and set up their reel to reel tape machines. Is there evidence of paranormal apparitions? The jury’s out on that one, but police forces the world over employ psychics to solve crimes, as did the London underground after King Cross and 7/7. Key to investigation, or merely covering all bases, who knows?
Spirits
A popular explanation for restless spirits, strange voices and manifestations is, they’re a reflection of an event, frozen in time, like a recording. If that’s the case, then there’s no possible way we (the living) would be able to communication with our dear departed. It would be akin to watching the Christmas family movie favourite: ‘The Great Escape’ and having a conversation with Steve McQueen as he wiles away his time catching a baseball in the cooler, or talking to a photograph and it talking back.
So where does that leave Psychic Mediums who claim to be able to contact the afterlife. My contention is anyone who claims that ability has either a mental illness or they’re filthy stinking liars who prey on people at their most emotionally vulnerable.
