Why are we scared of ghosts? – Part 9

Ghosts represent the unknown, they can be quite startling to some people and quite friendly for others. It all depends upon how open an individual is to the dimension or plane, that ghosts, or spirits exist.

No body likes to see something that is not really there, or is it? We all live in a three dimensional world and our thought patterns and habits are built into us from an early age.

Most of us like to travel by motor vehicle and we think nothing of it. The fact that there is a thin piece of metal separating us from the road surface below, is far from our minds when some of us career down a coarsely graveled road at the speeds that we do, sometimes less than a foot away from it.

If one were to remove that piece of metal and were to take a good look, I am sure that most of us would not venture on to the highway at all. A ghost is sort of like peeling away that metal. Ghosts are everywhere, but we can only see what we expect and want to see, by building and reinforcing safe enclosures around ourselves.

Ghosts are scarey to us because they do not factor into our mortal lives. They represent a dimension that we are trained not to see. They have no sense of time or gravity, giving them license of freedom from the constraints of this earthly world. They can appear and disappear when ever they want and when they do this, we find it very alarming as we are only used to our particular time and physical being.

There are two basic types of ghosts or spirits. One being the ghost as we call it, that haunts this earthly plane as if looking for resolution from their previous existence. The other is a spirt that has passed over quite calmly and visits loved ones here from time to time.

Quite frankly, if my grandfather appeared in front of me, I’d jump out of my skin as it would not seem like a logical and feasible occurrence to me. I’d love to see him again but part of me cringes when I think that there might be a possibility of it happening.

I know I’m going to die one day, it will happen to all of us, but whilst I’m on this planet, I do like to remain open about the after-life. I mean, energy just doesn’t go away, it has to go somewhere? It seems logical to me that my energy will have that imprint of me on it, with all the years I have served as a human being. In my opinion, there must be a place for that in the universe somewhere.

Ghosts scare us because we need to feel secure and know that everything around us is as normal as it can be.
