There is nothing wrong in believing, and wanting to believe. The motive is one of pure love, and that is a good thing. I understand it from your perspective and would like to apologize if I may have upset or offended you.
It is just that I hate how these so called self acclaimed "time travelers" take these people´s emotions for a joy ride.
I just strongly believe that our worst enemy, time, is an illusionary perspective of our unenlightened minds. Our loved ones never die, they just transcend to the fourth dimension where they still remain with you, although unseen to the young mind. "Time travel", would be traveling beyond the fourth dimension
I agree, there is nothing wrong with believing, and wanting to believe. It is unfortunate that their are people out there that use that belief to their advantage.
How long has the Nigerian scam been in the News ? I recently had someone tell me that they received an offer from someone that promised them a great deal of money. I asked to see the offer, and sure enough it was the Nigerian scam.
This person allowed their emotional desires to over-ride their sense of reason. I figured everybody knew about "that" scam by now, but I was mistaken.
As with anything, care must be exercised before accepting anyone's claim, as with Lyndzee's claim.
I wasn't offended nor upset with what you wrote in your post. I feel the same way, as there are people in my past that I wish I could have said some things I was not able to say to them before they passed on.
I make it a point to tell those close to me that I love them. If I have a good friend, I let them know that I appreciate their friendship...learning from my past mistakes.
That's what life is all about, is learning from the mistakes we make, and everyday, we are given the opportunity to demonstrate that we "have" learned from our past mistakes, and life anew.
Love is important, and a tremendous force to be reckoned with.
To address your last point, you are looking at a bonafide "Ghost Hunter" show fan. I haven't missed a show yet. I even played around with ghost hunting, myself, just to answer the question of life after death for myself.
It's the kind of thing that other people's stories of ghosts don't quite make it, but is something someone has to experience for themselves.
