Energy,
Mind, and Spirit
I
have been researching
the area of ghosts, and attempting
to find answers as to what causes ghosts, and I ran across this
interesting article from The Atlantic Paranormal Society, written by
Ron Milione. You will find this fascinating!
The Article:
Most of us, aka ghost hunters
will tell you that ghosts are believed to
emit some kind of electromagnetic field, so called EMF. However, when
asked why they believe this, many cannot give a good scientific answer
because we are still in the beginning stages of this frontier research.
So,
what is my theory, the basis for
ghostly energetic? There is really
only one possibility within known science, so let’s go to the
specialists.
To
begin our quest, we must first take
a look at the ghost in the human
machine, the conscious of the mind. Professor McFadden from the School
of Biomedical and Life Sciences at the University of Surrey in the UK
believes our conscious mind could be an electromagnetic field. His
theory may solve many previously intractable problems of consciousness
and could have profound implications for our concepts of mind,
spirituality and even life and death.
There
are wide differences in the
concepts of consciousness, which are
prevalent among biologists, psychologists, and sociologists. The
threefold meaning of consciousness comes from the Latin word
'con-scio': a) to cut, b) to make a distinction, and c) to know.
There
are three different ways to know
the difference -- 'con-scientia':
1)
Through genetic bio-reactive
knowledge,
2)
Through personal self-reflexive
knowledge, and,
3)
Through social, consensually
validated knowledge.
Most
people consider "mind" to be all
the conscious things that we are
aware of. However this is not quite accurate. The majority of mental
activity occurs without awareness. Actions such as peddling a bicycle
or walking can become as automatic as breathing. The biggest puzzle in
neuroscience is how the brain activity that we're aware of
(consciousness) differs from the brain activity of all of those
unconscious actions.
The
human brain is a symphony of
electromagnetic signals, but science
has had trouble finding the conductor of the symphony. One of the
problems that neurologists have with consciousness is called the
binding problem. The best way to explain the binding problem is to use
the analogy of a tree. A tree seems to contain thousands of leaves, all
of which are contained on several branches. Neurobiology tells us that
the information contained in the mind (all the leaves) is dissected and
scattered among millions of widely separated neurons. The binding
problem is encountered when science tries to explain where in the brain
all those leaves are stuck together to form the conscious impression of
a whole tree.
How
does our brain bind information to
generate consciousness? The data
does not seem to add up and our symphony conductor is once again
missing.
Through
his research, Professor
McFadden realized that every time a
nerve fires, the electrical activity sends a signal to the brain's
electromagnetic field. However, unlike solitary nerve signals,
information that reaches the brain's electromagnetic field is
automatically bound together with all the other signals in the brain.
The
brain's electromagnetic field does
the binding that is
characteristic of consciousness. Conscious information processing is
associated with the EM component of ultra low frequency (ULF)
brainwaves in either:
a)
Dialectically "denser" parts of the
brain in the normal awake state
of
consciousness; or
b)
a gaseous ionic structure in the
vicinity of the mind.
This
is why we aka ghost hunters look
at EM fields. It is the basis of
life itself (a great book on the subject that I'd recommend for ghost
hunters is " The electromagnetic origins of life" by Dr. Becker). The
brain's EM field is the only possible thing that could survive bodily
death.
EEG
and the brain's state
EEG
(Electroencephalography)
technology is used to measure brain's electrical vibrations from the
surface of the scalp. The resulting EEG pattern will contain frequency
elements mainly below 30Hz. The frequencies are categorized into four
states as follows:
State
Frequency Range Amplitude State
of Mind
Delta
0.5Hz - 4Hz high (up to 200uV)
Deep sleep
Theta
4Hz - 8Hz low (5uV - 20uV)
Drowsiness (also first stage of sleep)
Alpha
8Hz - 14Hz high (up to 200uV)
Relaxed but alert
Beta
14Hz - 30Hz low (less than 10uV)
Highly alert and focused
The
dominant frequency in the EEG
pattern determines what is called the current state of the brain. If
the amplitude of the alpha range frequencies is highest, the brain is
said to be in the alpha stage. Note that other frequencies still occur;
it is not meaningful to give any exact frequency your brain is
"operating on."
So
what happens at death? Using the
first law of thermodynamics there are several possibilities. First, all
that energy could transform intoheat and bleed out of the skull. That
would also mean no afterlife, much less any possibility for ghosts.
Fortunately, there are other possibilities. The EM field could also
change frequency or polarity. Interestingly enough there is some data
out there that suggests that the mind goes into theta waves just before
death, which gives us a possibility of ghosts.
Using
what data we have from
neurology, we can assume that the frequency change could not exceed
much more than 40Hz or so. The bottom line is that we are looking for
low frequency DC EM fields. These types of fields are what we need to
take a serious look at. The biggest problem with EMF detectors is that
they are not giving you the most vital piece of information of the EM
field, its FREQUENCY!
They
can only give you the power
associated with a field. There is an instrument that can give you both
power levels and frequency. It's a laptop computer. We have a program
that transforms your laptop into a spectrum analyzer. Using the proper
coil or antenna, so can quickly tell if a field is manmade or not and
record the data from the field onto the hard drive of the laptop.
