PARANORMAL FLASH

Five – Discarnate, or What?

When a mind intrusion occurs, such as a reincarnated person or
contact with the dead by a medium, we can rationally say it does
not involve existing dead entities. But to do so, we must try to
understand where the invasions come from. Two factors are vital.
Why does the entity appear so real? Where does the sometimes
accurate information come from?

Brain physiology can offer an
answer to the first.

In the split-brain concept we know that the two cerebral hemispheres
of the brain can have opposing function. The left brain tends to be
the rationalist, whilst the right brain is the fantasist, adding emotion,
artistry, etc. We live in the left brain most of the time, but it has
been argued that the right brain can often intrude. When it does, it
can appear like a discarnate voice or entity. To the creative type,
this is the muse – the centre of inspiration. To others, immersed in a
different type of culture, it could well be seen as the voice of the
dead. But what about the information an entity can convey?

We live in a world of information
without realizing it.

Indeed, we only ‘remember’ information upon which we focus our
attention. Yet, the rest of this information does not disappear.
Rather, it seems it goes straight into the unconscious. In a
phenomenon know as Cryptomnesia this information can rise into
consciousness. And it can be quite startling. Cases of reincarnation
have been traced to novels, films or articles, sometimes with errors
intact. In one case a Swedish girl remembered a Medieval song in
Old English from a book she simply flicked through in a library. When
regressed hypnotically to remember a past life, the song attached
to the life, colouring a fantasized entity with fact. And cryptomnesia
can go on to answer so much more …

MEDIA NEWS: Murdoch Jr has
given a speech in the UK slanging
the BBC as state sponsored journalism
which is impeding media. I’d like to agree with
him but I can’t. When ‘free’ media is controlled globally
by a handful of Big Biz propagandists with a united agenda, I’d
rather keep an outlet with a different agenda to keep the balance.

TV WATCH: I watched the new ITV adaptation of Wuthering
Heights at the weekend. The greatest love story ever,
Peter Bowker’s adaptation was first class. Cathy
and Heathcliff were played to perfection by
Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy, and Sarah
Lancashire was excellent as Nelly Dean.
So often TV adaptations fail to grab
me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

THE LUSTER

The Luster is a predatory sort,
Sexual threats he turns into sport,
Always recounting his latest conquest,
Problem is, people glare and detest;
His salacious ways make them baulk,
Meaning, of course, he’s usually all talk

FLASH 55 – THE INFORMANT

Fiction: Don’t call me an informer. I don’t like it. It’s not fair. We have
to speak out, and there’s nothing negative about it. He did it. He did!
I was there. I saw it all. AND I suffered. I really did. Yes I DO know
the code. We don’t tell. But he did it … Mom!!!

THE THREAT

Don’t we just love a treat,
Things that lustre, or to drink or eat;
Problem is they are usually bad,
To resistance we glare; be so sad,
So we indulge, never mind the regret,
Forgetting an ‘h’ in treat is threat

THE GLARE

Oh, what a lovely glare,
I stand silently – but what of despair?
At first it never seemed a threat,
Beautiful lustre – yet …
Now for relief I can but hope,
In the mirror I glare – see sunburn; a dope
