There are certain things in life that we’ll never fully understand. Try as we might these details, ideas or concepts will always be just beyond our reach of understanding. You can try and explain them by faith which is perhaps the best way. But some of these factors in life offer more empirical evidence than most people would care to admit. You can attempt to explain them by science. But even that doesn’t provide all the answers. Don’t forget, that according to scientists the world used to be flat and, did you know that to this day, the flat earth society still exists. Shocking as that might seem there are people who believe that there is evidence that the world is not a sphere. It’s just the tip of the iceberg when you think of some of the other weird and wonderful things in this world that we’ll never be able to fully explain. Let’s look at a few.
Ghosts
Ghosts are a tricky phenomenon because there are many people who believe that ghosts simply don’t exist. Scientists have even gone as far as to suggest that it’s a psychological effect. You see the ghost because your mind gets scared and you create images. All the little things that we feel when a ghost is near is simply our brain and body reacting. The temperature seems to drop in the room because we get a cold sweat. It’s like having a nightmare while you’re awake. This is a fantastic simple, explanation. However, it doesn’t explain certain things about ghosts such as how they can interact with the real world and history.
For instance, there is a place in London where ghost sightings are quite regular. Many people visit a particular location and see the same ghost. A British soldier walking along the ground with the bottom of his legs half sunk into the ground. Now you might think that perhaps someone just told people a story. Fear and paranoia then created the illusion of seeing this ghost. However, that doesn’t explain why archeologists discovered that beneath the building there was an old road. Apparently, this is what the ghost was walking on and supposedly still does to this day. This is just one example of how the concept of ghosts isn’t quite as black and white as they don’t exist.
Psychics And Predicting The Future
Do psychics actually exist? Are there people who can see the future? There’s a research company in America that will offer one million dollars to anyone who can prove the existence of this phenomenon. This money has never been claimed, and you might say that answers that question. Does it, or are those who do have this power not looking to prove it? Perhaps they know that if there were empirical evidence, they would be prodded, tested and used.
If you know anything about the history of psychic readings, you might be aware that original psychics were the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter. People used to believe that these individuals were witches. There are numerous reports of readings from people that were incredibly accurate. It’s just hard to remember that when there are so many others using prompts or claiming you should go to Hawaii to find your destiny.
Religion
If you’re religious you will base your understanding of it in faith. You don’t need proof God exists, you have faith that he is real. You don’t have to see paradise after death because you know in your heart it exists. Atheists are often quick to dismiss this as a way of coping with mortality as are psychologists. But is that all religion is? It’s interesting to point out that many people have suggested the Christian belief system is actually just a remake of pagan rituals. Essentially, believing in God is the equivalent of how ancient people used to worship the sun because it brought them a harvest each year.
Again, it’s interesting, but it doesn’t explain why there are so many different religions. It also doesn’t explain the fact that quite a few have similarities. For instance, while Christians and Muslims probably don’t like to admit it, the teachings of Muhammad and Jesus are remarkably similar. Indeed, it’s fascinating to note that the origins of different religions occurred at different times in various areas of the world. Areas that allegedly hadn’t yet been discovered when the messages in the faith and the religion share patterns. It’s almost as though there might well be some truth behind the shared words.
There is also evidence of people who do suggest the existence of an afterlife or indeed reincarnation. Do research how the new Dalai Lama is chosen, it’s quite fascinating.
As you can see, then there are many things in this world that we can’t fully understand or explain. Even if there are people offering solutions, they never have the full picture.
