The Heavy Stuff

To the thinking individual, several `paranormal’ phenomena are beginning to seem to have the same `origin’ or `ontology’ - (ontology is defined as a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature and relations of being — or — a particular theory about the nature of being or the kinds of existent). Specifically, I am referring to the `spaces’ or descriptions of Tulpas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtform (best described by the previous wiki link), Orbs, and Zooforms — to which, this link is the best description http://www.ufomystic.com/the-redfern-files/neil-arnold-the-interview/ . Sorry for taking you thru so much background links for this posting — but, this subject matter is not mainstream media like Bigfoot or Ufo’s — and my assumption is that many need to brush up on their understanding as to how these phenomena are described.

As regular readers know, The Heavy Stuff loves to position phenomenology as critical to understanding `strange phenomena’. Just as Einstein’s love of thought produced the simple equation E=MC(squared) — phenomenology also reduces `appearances’ and `phenomena’ to the most basic look at reality. To The Heavy Stuff, that means taking our reality right `down’ to its basic components of space and time (or what we call time). The Heavy Stuff has been positioning that those `words’ (space/time) — our most basic constitution of being — can be `described’ using some ontological terms.

The Heavy Stuff’s most complete description of the word `space’ can be found at the blog - http://whatisnotabletonotbe.blogspot.com — simply put — just as John Paul Sartre had words for space - time - and being — so does The Heavy Stuff. Whereas Sartre used concepts such as Being In Itself, Being For Itself and Being For Others — The Heavy Stuff has basic words to describe the biggest concepts for consciousness - namely, space - time - and - existence.

Specifically, The Heavy Stuff’s `concept’ for the very idea of `space’ - is that `Space’ IS —> NOT ABLE TO BE . The Heavy Stuff’s `concept’ for `time’ IS —-> ABLE TO NOT BE. And, The Heavy Stuff’s `concept’ for our reality/existence IS ——–> NOT ABLE TO NOT BE … The words (not able to not be) literally meaning  `something that is determined’ — and, obviously, our reality, the one that we experience in common with others,  is determined. That is because, all spaces, but our own, `come’ to us via light waves with their `runoff’ of space. What we see as NOW is NOT NOW as it `arrives’ via a manner which `tells’ us — it has already occurred - and comes to us as pre-determined light waves of information. Having a `space’ ourselves - gives us a particular `positioning/placement’ compared to every other thing in existence with a `space’ (or mass of an object).

I know your head might be spinning if you have never encountered phenomenology before — or if you did — you just wrote it off as a lot of mumbo-jumbo. As I mentioned before, phenomenology attempts to look at the very biggest `issues’ of being. The biggest issues to being human or  to having a consciousness.

And, the equivalent to `who made God’ - for phenomenology - is, `how could time have ever begun?’ — These phenomenological concepts that I will now try to describe - go right to the very very beginning so to speak.  Indeed, The Heavy Stuff begs your indulgence for the next several paragraphs  about the beginning of the phenomenology positioning of The Heavy Stuff.

At the very `beginning’ of experience there had to be the `potential’ for `reality’ or space/time to occur. But, it was just the potential for a reality - not the expression of that reality. There would have been a `oneness’ - a `sameness’ to all - everything. OR one could say, there was an ABLE TO BE in the beginning of the eternity `before’ the reality of space/time. But, eventually, (science would have us believe it was 13.7 billion years ago) the `oneness’ of ABLE TO BE was `forced’ to `accept’ one and perhaps two simultaneous `equal concepts’. BUT, since the ABLE TO BE was/is everything — the evolution of `beingness’ — the very ABLE TO BE itself — was not violated by having a `new’ description of `everything’.

And, that `new description’ literally — was the `explosion’ of the concept of `space-time’. The ABLE TO BE evolved INTO a `thing’ that turned out to be `space’ itself - and all the physical properties that describe the mass of space and elements.  Indeed, as opposed to GOD being ABLE TO BE (everything) — the first space — was able to NOT BE GOD  (to not-be `potential’, by actualizing space) — `it’ was to be able to have the ability to be NOT ABLE TO BE — it wasn’t GOD, it wasn’t `permanent’ -  it was `something else’ a `space’. A space which was NOT ABLE TO BE. It’s very definition and `appearance’  being its representation of `the space’s’ unique identity - it’s unique singularness.

Immediately, with the `invention’ of the `new’ concept — `that original space’ - would realize its `original relation to the original space that GOD or the ABLE TO BE possessed that was `different’ in concept. THAT event would be between `two spaces’ GOD, the able to be, and Space, the NOT able to be. Suddenly, reality had volume and texture - it had a BEFORE (in the able to be) and a `NOW’ in the `space’ of the NOT ABLE TO BE.

We are, indeed, speaking metamorphically about the beginning of consciousness of course. Be it God becoming aware of its parts — or Space becoming aware that it isn’t God. As this concept `expanded’ `space’ would be aware of even more than `the before of God’ — it, space, would be aware that `other spaces than it’ COULD BE. Those `other spaces’ other than God and Space. Space becoming more than one thing (first element changing into more elements?) — a `NEW’ concept beyond the NOT ABLE TO BE.

And, indeed, that concept is ABLE TO NOT BE ———– able to not be the NOT ABLE TO BE. A `new’ space - or beingness idea. Another way for God to `express and appear’ within the ABLE TO BE furnished as the basis for everything. It could be said that the ABLE TO NOT BE is TIME (in a sense) — or — the repeating of the being of space. The whole concept of time (able to not be) GIVES `space’ `somewhere’ to BE (now). OR, the ABLE TO NOT BE is the realization that space has being - expressed as duration.

The Heavy Stuff needs one more paragraph of indulgence from the reader to explain the final combining `concept’ of the Heavy Stuff’s phenomenology. Simply put — we aren’t quite at a real reality yet via the above descriptions of space and time and god. We need the phenomenology descriptions of reality itself. AND, the combining of NOT ABLE TO BE with the ABLE TO NOT BE —— became what is considered the REAL REALITY — THE NOT ABLE TO NOT BE — the determined. The reality we all see before us right now. Basic words to describe the segments which make up the determined reality all consciousness’s experience.

It takes all of those phenomenology words to begin to describe what today’s topic might be about - the topic being the similarity of Tulpas, Zooforms and Orbs.

Wikipedia describes Zooforms (thoughtforms) with words such as these:

These are not animals at all, but entities or apparitions which adopt or seem to have (quasi)animal form. This is where we (at least to some extent) enter science fictionterritory. In many ways, these elusive and contentious entities have plagued cryptozoology since its inception, and tend to be dismissed by mainstream science as thoroughly unworthy of consideration. Zooform phenomena seem to be a strange blend of paranormal manifestation and mythology…However, Jonathan Downeswho first coined the term in 1990, maintains that many zooform phenomena result from complex psychosocial and sociological phenomena, and suggests that to classify all such phenomena as “paranormal” in origin is counterproductive…Thoughtform may be understood as a ‘psychospiritual’ complexof energy or consciousness manifested either consciously or unconsciously, by an individual or a group. Thoughtform are understood differently and take on different forms in different traditions. Stated differently, a thoughtform, is a subtle objectification that may or may not have consciousness and self-determination. Thoughtform may be benevolent, malevolent or of complex alignment and may be understood as a spontaneous or intentional manifestation from a combination of willpower, bioenergy, discipline, chi, prana and/or astral or ætherial substance

Simply put, the Zooform is a `space’ with conscious identity - which does not `appear’ `normally’. Except for the fact that Ghosts have a real person identity - as opposed to a mythical beast (which has an identity that has been imagined) — the similarities are obvious — consciousness’s that are looking for a space to appear in within what we call reality.

Now, consider how similar the words Wikipedia uses for Tulpas:

A tulpa is, in Tibetan mysticism, a being or object which is created through willpower, visualisation, attention and focus, concerted intentionality and ritual. In other words, it is a materialized thought that has taken physical form….

There are… apparitions that make public appearances. Some of these are said to be the perceptible double—the etheric counterpart—of a living person who is undergoing an out-of-body experience. Even more mysterious are the externalized perceptible manifestations of something whose existence originated in the mind of its creator by virtue of that person’s incredible powers of concentration, visualization, and other, more occult, efforts of the mind. In Tibet, where such things are practiced, a ghost of this kind is called a tulpa. A tulpa is usually produced by a skilled magician or yogi, although in some cases it is said to arise from the collective imagination of superstitious villagers, say, or of travelers passing through some sinister tract of country.— Mysteries of the Unexplained, 1990, Reader’s Digest Association Inc. page 176

Note - Zooforms described as `entities..adopting a ..form’ and Tulpas being `a being developed thru attention and focus’. Much more simply — spaces; with definition; that can become real.Indeed, you can see above that the description of Tulpa’s goes to the point of the delivery of `etheric doubles’ of humans having out-of-the-body experiences. Is this really different than doppelgangers or the pilots of the flight of Eastern 401 appearing after `death’? Isn’t a `space’ with consciousness `something’ whether it is `seen’ or even `real’? Don’t our very thoughts fit this description?

Finally, there’s Orb’s (which I have written about before on The Heavy Stuff — BTW - you can catch all of the topic in one easy place with my website www.squidoo.com/theheavystuff ) — again - here’s Wikipedia’s words: The opposing school maintains that orbs are paranormal in nature, i.e. non-naturalistic and ghost like…That orb photos can be gained anywhere has, however, been adopted into the position of conspiracy theorists who maintain that orbs are probes/devices being used by an alien culture to monitor human activities…

The Heavy Stuff knows that readers seek some bottom line - some bottom truth. The truth of these phenomena is that they are part of the `space’ spectrum. The end of the `space spectrum’ these entities exist within does not normally interact with `normal’ space - normal space with real mass. But, DOES seem to interact with the `conscious’ part of humans - the `part’ of humans that is able-to-not-be at a given moment. The `extra’ part of us all - our attention and awareness to space forms that are not our own space. While usually, this is ONLY our own thoughts (and the spaces involved with those thoughts) - our thoughts are not bound to us. Evidently, that space of us is connected to `something more’ than this reality of determined spaces. It is connected to sequences of spaces that could be interpreted as paranormal. And, evidently, when that happens — with intentionality’s from either side of space (the beyond of non-spaces and the here of real spaces) — the events can actually appear and be seen. Such as the rare Ghost appearance, such as the rare Tulpa appearance, such as the very rare appearance with `full space’ such as the pilots of Flight 401.

But, for the same reason that they appear (the ability to project the not-able-to-be space that they are) as an able-to-not-be in our reality - is the reason they `can’t continue’ and simply `pop’ out of existance  when they exhaust their own `energy’ of `showing as a space’ - as a not-able-to-be. More simply put, the able-to-not-be of our thoughts, our time, (in a sense) - `peter out’ - as they fade of `space’ - the very thoughts themselves. We create `spaces’ not-able-to-be’s — as we think. `Spaces’ that often influence how our real space moves - that seem to have a position.

But, they fade - just like human will. So too do Zooforms, Tulpas and Orbs fade - the moment they no longer have a space to influence the not able to not be. The consensus of determination does not allow for the continued existence of entities based on something other than the not-able-to-be. To exist INTO the future one (any space) must have a now AND a past — tulpas, orbs and zooforms - project INTO the present but instead of `running off’ into the future - those entities `run off’ into the past (really, they run off into the other - the able-to-not-be) not connected to the real future.

More Heavy thoughts soon - thanks for reading. Would love for you to visit my anomaly site at www.squidoo.com/anomalyman

Recently I had this link  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=469849&in_page_id=1879      on  my Aug. 6th posting in my www.squidoo.com/anomalymanlens (squidoo.com hosts free one page websites) - in summary, it’s about a man who became obsessed with the `glowing white orbs’ that sometimes can be seen in everyday photographs. The article goes into painstaking detail about how the gentleman became obsessed with the white dots and the methodology he used to `prove’ that orbs even had `characteristics’ - including the ability to be `called’ into a photo - and - only `appearing’ on one of two camera shots taken simultaneously. (Some say that UFO’s can be called even.) The Heavy Stuff thinks that this man makes a convincing case that `some space with intelligence’ is displaying itself to the camera shutter. But, is that intelligence that of a dead human? Please - make sure to read the story via my Anomalies, Paranormal and Mind Perceptions `lens’ hosted on Squidoo.com. and then return for the rest of the heavy thoughts.

Welcome back. Now that you have read about this mans impressive efforts to pin down the `orbs’ seen in pictures - I want to bring the discussion again to the various `proofs’ I have been blogging about concerning the survival of `death’ and the way that phenomena is being `expressed’ and then `recorded’ by our `science-technology’ of today - such as tape recorders, cameras and video cameras. After all, all that mankind is desiring is for `some aspect’ of our `life’ to continue - after death. If even a smidgen of `space’ that we have in life continues - and that smidgen of `space’ can be proven in some manner - then the science of today’s technology may go a long way to calm the seeking mind regarding one of the biggest personal issues in reality.

Indeed, what seems to be happening, to those with an open mind about these various phenomena that the Heavy Stuff has been blogging about, is that `some communication’ between the `living’ and the `dead’ is able to occur — and it seems that the direct event-horizon between the two spheres - can be influenced by intentionality’s from `both sides’. Let me summarized what I am trying to express.

First, `the findings’ suggest a range of how much `intentionalities’ matter. From our living side - the `recorder’ can be as impartial as the junkyard video security camera picking up a `ghost’ coming to `look’ at the car one died in that same evening. (As readers know, I have blogged about such a video and the video can be seen at www.squidoo.com/theheavystuff) The video camera is simply recording the `space-time’ it actualizes/records — the wrecker yard ghost is not intentionally `performing’ for the camera to show `life in the great beyond’. It is simply an event-horizon `event’ that is accessible to a passive recording device. And, as readers of the Heavy Stuff know — the same can be said of `ghosts’ that show up in humanish form in photographs - an event that has happened many times over the last two centuries. However, this photographic event - seems to have `some’ intentionality from `the other side’ being-space. After all, they DO have to get into position for the photograph and `display an identifiable human space’ for recording. And, we also know that the same `unintentional’ pick up of human spaces with voice capability seems to happen on blank tapes at times called EVP. (It could be said again that EVP may involve intentionality from the other side.)

But, we also know that each of these seemingly `random’ contact events from the `other side’ seem to be able to be `forced’ to occur at a level far more than chance events would allow.  I’ve blogged here already about Harry Houdini’s coded message for his wife that he seemed to be able to `get thru’ during sittings with mediums that were conducted and  specifically called for that very reason - the very definition of an intentionality. And, firm intentionality’s on both sides were able to impart specific pre-agreed upon information from the other side to our side. There was belief on both sides that the effort-intentionality’s would succeed.

I’ve also blogged about the Leslie Flint recordings during which `voices’ of the dead `came thru’ — once again to a medium in a setting –`expecting contact and expecting information’. In this instance the Leslie Flint recordings were made for the the `space-intentionality’s of the other side’ to come thru to indicate and  voice `how’ the afterlife was `for them - for their specific space’. Much of the information that these `dead persons’ `said’ was how the afterlife is a state of mind and similar like minds- and that each state is a different `level’ - with further development of ones state of mind possible (even in the afterlife). IF true, it sounds a bit like what the eastern religions have been saying for centuries. (Would those in the afterlife LIE about conditions there? - Naw. LOL.)

That said, if you listen to the tapes - and I highly recommend it - the `dead’ beings indicated they were `still human’ - still looked human (but saw some folks they knew at ages they were surprised to see the person represented as being - meaning - one might know someone into their 60’s - they die - you see them in the afterlife as who they were when they were 20 - and you don’t recognize them at first). They also indicated that they still did `Earthly things’ - such as the bricklayer who still worked with bricks `just as real bricks as on your side’ and built things that people wanted - and this was done with other `dead’ bricklayers who the subject might have known or not known on earth. Somehow, our remaining `space’ after we die can `create’ or experience this full range of `doing’ the intentionality’s we often did on earth while living. Lighting up those fibers of existence so to speak.

And, I’ve also blogged about the extraordinary `events’ of the Ghosts of Flight 401. In these events — those from the other side, the pilots, were evidently able to `project’ that `dead virtual-space’ into the real reality we all agree upon does NOT include dead spaces. In essence, REAL GHOSTS, with full perceivable spaces - in the event-horizon ——– that, as described by witnesses - disappeared in a `pop of light’ - literally vanishing in front of alive folks eyes. Unfortunately, these events of the pilots of flight 401 were not recorded on film.

To The Heavy Stuff, it does not take a great leap of intellect to see the possible connection between the `spaces’ of the pilots that `re-appeared’ and the occasionally recorded instances of a doppelganger. Indeed, doppelganger’s seem to be the same entity but in reverse - a ghostly form of a living person. To think that the doppelganger is the same virtual-space-identity after we die - is not a big leap of intellect either. Could we all be exploring the real reality right now with our virtual space within the doppelganger we all have? Could we take the representation of our space `elsewhere’ such as the reports of `remote viewing’? Would our living doppelganger be the `lucid body’ we have during lucid dreaming? Where does this virtual space that the living have - come from? Is it already a part of our real space — that isn’t part of the real reality to begin with?

Remember how the Heavy Stuff has talked about `spaces’ within the Heavy Stuff’s ideas on phenomenology? The Heavy Stuff’s position is that `our personal space’ — the real one that has a duration and `runs off’ with our appearance of space to other spaces — is NOT part of the `run off’ of appearances. Our real space is NOW only to us -  the space of our appearance is PAST (to us - in our real space) just as all other spaces (people, pencils, bedpans, etc) are PAST to us (as it takes time for the light that bounces off their real space to reach our eyes/perception). The Heavy Stuff goes further and posits that `space-itselfs’ main attribute is that `it’ `space’ is NOT ABLE TO BE. It is that attribute, sequentially, that describes `what space IS’. All we living folk hope for - for us to continue into the `afterlife’ - is for our own NOT ABLE TO BE to continue at some level. From our own space is where we will find our perception ability and continued intentionality’s.

But, events such as a doppelganger or the `real ghosts’ of flight 401 are extraordinarily rare - to the point of being only anecdotal - but represent, perhaps just what may be ultimately possible for `spaces’ that still have an identity with a specific human form-space. Indeed, it is nearly certain that the virtual-space we have after death is quite small - virtually unseeable perhaps to the naked eye - perhaps nothing more than a `real’ virtual particle. Perhaps just part of the virtual spaces that are all around us and are a significant part of the real reality in which we living spaces reside.

 And, once again, as I have blogged before, these `virtual-spaces outside of reality’s consensus’ somehow actualize when recorded via devices such as cameras and recording tapes.

It’s important to remember that estimates by science are that 60-120 billion humans have lived and died on earth since mankinds rise - if we have a virtual space after death - some of those billions may still be hanging around humans even today. Indeed, while pure speculation - I have a new link of a video on the internet, again on my anomalies site, of an ORBlike light coming out of a babies mouth (seeable thru the camera’s eyepiece too). Could that be the way a soul enters a body? Could a body be-have a number of `souls’? Or, is that just the freedom that might exist for orbs - free to go anywhere.

Perhaps orbs are the few beings that die that have transcended the `material state of minds’ that is the virtual afterlife for most spaces. Perhaps orbs are conscious spaces that have intentionality’s or can be influenced by intentionality’s of living spaces. Influenced to perhaps show up in pictures, strangely. To communicate that the orb space is not a film miscue but a real entity with continued space. Joyously dancing in the development of the film - to communicate that `our space’ - the part of us that has always been - NOT ABLE TO BE - continues - at least at some level - and with some level of intelligence.
