Thoughts on Dead Channelers
I have been writing a video essay on people that channel the dead for about 2 months now (should have a video out by the end of this month or early October) and I have some thoughts I have to share which I did not include in the essay:
Death is a universal human experience.
It comforts and frightens as a concept.
Ghosts?
Death as stated above, the end of life as we know it, is an universal event every living thing goes through. I am not going to say there is equality in death because there is not; the rich live and die better on average than the working man (I will not go further into this. If you want to learn more, read a book). Death waits for us all and we jump into it head first regardless of class or creed.
While unknown, the transition to death is a tradition as old as time; with as many beliefs as stars in the sky. For some it comforts, giving a sense of ultimate closure and reward (even a chance to do better and educate oneself further). There is also the darkness of ourself. A feeling of needed punishment awaiting, for eternity.
And then there’s Ghosts!
Ghosts’ very presence seem to go against the beliefs of many mainstream religions. While ghosts are typically part of most religions’ fabric of creation, the concept of ghosts often create exceptions to the rules of a scripture. They are then included by the scripture but the writing always goes something like, “All good souls go to heaven, and all bad souls go to hell…unless you were not baptized but a real good person that married into the church but did not convert fully…you become a ghost hungry for human misery.”
Okay, extreme-hyperbolized example but you know the legends and stories of our ancestors that were amendments of the rule added much later. Ghosts are their own belief system as old civilization. They can be attached to any system of religion but they remain uniquely themselves. I’ve seen people of all religions deal with ghosts, poltergeists, and spirits of all temperaments.
That is why dead channelers have continued to pray on society in the way they have (I am not saying that the ability to communicate with beings of another dimension does not exist, watch the Dead Files. Amy Allen is a medium I believe is seeing some real shit). Ghosts, the dead, our lost-loved ones, do not adhere to the afterlife we have been taught for centuries.
This lack of information is an open door for those that claim to be able to contact the dead, especially relatives long gone. A door that will never be shut until we have the tools to properly measure and study the effects of death on the environment and consciousness; even then, as with all science, will have detractors.
As I am sure you can tell. I am mixed on the subject. I think there is an ecosystem we cannot perceive that feeds and lives off of energies in ways we do not understand. Can we communicate with that ecosystem? Probably but I do not believe a medium that can summon the dead on a regular basis, especially when paid to do so and then tell people nice pleasantries. There is every reason to lie and profit and almost no reason for the medium not to be honest to a person that has no real knowledge of the craft (thanks capitalism).
I have no point here truly. These are just throw away thoughts I had that did not make it into the essay so far. Thank you for reading and subscribe to our youtube!
