AM I A GHOST?

JUST A THOUGHT

Do ghosts think? Some seem to, while others present more like site recordings. I think of the rare movie staring Bruce Willis without a nine millimeter in his hand, (one of his best, I think) — “Sixth Sense”. I enjoyed this story about a psychiatrist (or psychologist, don’t remember which) who was dead and didn’t know it. Great fiction. Seemed pretty realistic, as good movies do.

It is speculated some who have died don’t know they are dead. I wonder about that. It got me thinking. What if I’m dead and don’t know it? What if I died and don’t remember it, and I am just dreaming that people to some degree interact with me?

I will carry this as far as I can as a question. If this should be true, how do I react to it?

I suggest you take just a minute and think about this proposed strange situation. I think you will find it to be a mind stretcher. Since I just thought about it while working out, I myself am going to think about it before writing much more, if I do.

Heck, I may suddenly wake up in Heaven, and this little thought exercise will be entirely superfluous. Notice, I am presuming “Heaven”. Don’t care to think about the alternative.

Hell, I’m too good a guy to go to Hell, if there is one. Some NDE’ers say there is, but I’m not buying that if there is it is necessarily a permanent situation. After all, God is Love, and it is said Jesus went down to give everybody a second chance. I suspect He, and perhaps others, are still in that business.
