How do you know this?

I admit the idea of an afterlife is very comforting, no one wants to "cease to exist", but there isn't any convincing evidence for it, anywhere. No one has ever come back from the dead to tell us anything, and all signs point to the fact that when you die, you're gone.

Think of what things are. Stardust, or atoms.

A chair, a tree, a cat, a person. All made of the same stuff. What makes a person different to a chair? Think about it.

Neither have I. And if I ever did see a ghost, I must've mistaken it for the light.

I believe in hallucinations, but, of course, I have never actually seen a ghost or anything of that sort. And if I did happen to once, I either don't remember it or I mistook it for the light or something.

Was there a light nearby? Or were you really tired? Please explain in more detail, for I think it could have been some sort of bright light or something.

I am open to that possibility, as well.

But I find dwelling on it to be counter-productive.

Previous to learning of Asperger's, I was terrified that I was developping schizophrenia (since I have many of the negative symptoms). However, since these "ghost sitings" occur so infrequently, since I am aware of their oddness, and since I know that atleast one of my experiences is very similiar to someone else's I know who lived in the same house, I am inclined to think that it's real. Usually after seeing one of these things, I start to doubt my sanity, but there's really no point in that, so I now just sort of accept it as it is.

I do get what you say.
But it's not entirely true, that people haven't, come back from the dead. I've read alot of stuff about it.
Try and visit; www.near-death.com, I think it comes rather close to the truth, about what happens when you die, because it's based on, peoples own experiences.
Like I said before, I experienced it myself, having left my body. I'm also developing a gift, to see spirits.
My perspective is that, humans only see a fraction on, what's going on, in this world.

If your cat doesn't act up, I don't think there's any need to worry. It could have been a loved one, or a spiritguide, keeping an eye on you. If you are scared, just focus on love, and light surounding you.

I stumbled acros this website; www.realmscape.org it might help you determine, what you felt saw. Or try this site www.ghoststudy.com

*thinks* A person is an idea, whereas a chair is an object. Each of our bodies have a person in them, a personality, a soul or what ever you like to call it. Our body and our brain is in a particular shape that defines who we are. You can't compare a person to a chair, though you could compare a person to the shape of a chair. People are a much more complex and dynamic shape than that of a chair though. Both us and chairs move and change if enough useful energy is provided to us. Our shape doesn't need as much energy to move though, and can maintain homeostasis.

The difference between a human body and a chair is that a human body has a different shape. There are different shapes and configurations of human bodies and chairs, i.e. microstates, but the general category of 'living human' and 'chair', i.e. macrostates are different due to order and composition of atoms mostly. Unfortunately the process from going from the macrostate of 'living human' to the state of 'dead human' is apparantly one-way and irreversible. We haven't found the fountain of youth yet that's for sure.

And the biggest problem overall is that the person in each of our bodies does not ever return from that ultimate disorder, once the body dies. If you can answer where a macrostate goes when it is replaced with a macrostate with more entropy (i.e. living => dead), then you'll be pointing straight at the afterlife.

I got the terms macrostate, microstate, entropy and disorder from Physics class, so anyone not knowing them can study Thermodynamics to learn if they so choose.

Sammie did that once. She all of the sudden started following something around through the wall with her eyes. i thought it might have been a moth (our house is infested by them), but when i looked up, i saw nothing.
I wasn't too phased about it, though, so i just continued watching Letterman.
