No. Actually, I'd prefer it if a succubus thread would actually be allowed to exist here instead of getting deleted within 15 minutes of it being started.

Using hypnosis or some shit to remember past lives is complete bullshit and will inevitable invoke a dream-like state where your mind makes shit up.

But I believe Edgar Cayce and his analysis of the nature of reality.

Also that pic makes me want to see a pic of an eye that looks like a clock with Roman numeral eyelashes.

I think some ghosts are intelligent, though it is rare. Most are imprints of strong emotions left over after traumatic events that can sometimes appear to be intelligent because they've been hijacked by demonic entities who take advantage of the residual energy in the area.

Not sure if intelligent spirits are trapped, kind of makes sense they wouldn't be able to leave, but part of me imagines it wouldn't take that long to figure out you're dead.

>>17913683
I could see that. Intelligent imprints, because if it was just a loop then it wouldn't have interacted with something in the present (the cat and its kittens)

>>17913735
I wary of any intelligent 'ghosts' honestly, because everything I've read seems to point to the fact it takes an incredible amount of energy for the actual dead to manifest, while it doesn't take nearly as much effort for non-human spirits to make themselves known. Then again, it's a topic that is constantly evolving and technically unknown, so it's educated guess work at best.

If we believe the first point, then that means that there must be some unknown quality within our physical memories that can be transferred from our corporeal plane of existence to another more cerebral realm. Something that could theoretically be quantifiable in our current state, but has thus far has gone unnoticed or unstudied.

Long-term memories (which is what I'm focusing on discussing) are broken down into two subcategories; declarative (or explicit) memory and procedural (or implicit) memory. Procedural memory (“knowing how”) is the unconscious memory of skills and how to do things, particularly the use of objects or movements of the body, such as tying a shoelace, playing a guitar or riding a bike. Whereas declarative memory (“knowing what”) is memory of facts and events, and refers to those memories that can be consciously recalled (or "declared"). It is sometimes called explicit memory, since it consists of information that is explicitly stored and retrieved.

Declarative memories are encoded by the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex and perirhinal cortex (all within the medial temporal lobe of the brain), but are consolidated and stored in the temporal cortex.

Let's pause there and discuss point 2.

Children possess the ability to commune with spirits in a way that adults are somehow unable to. This could be for any variety of reasons, including pseudoscience mumbojumbo, but if the idea that children are somehow linked to next world is true then once again there must be some sort of quantifiable evidence to support it.

A fairly universally accepted fact is that children have more active imaginations than their adult counterparts. One reason for this is that postnatally our neurons create millions of synapses, neurological connections. Because of this, the brain's of children have the ability to receive and process information uniquely from the way an adult would and it isn't until the onset of puberty that the brain goes through what is known as synaptic pruning, which is essentially the clipping of the synapses that aren't being utilised, allowing the remaining connections to become more focused. This allows them to reason better and essentially think like an adult.

>>17913466
The imagination isn't controlled by one single part of the brain, but instead is controlled by a cortical and subcortical network over a large part of the brain. The network closely resembles the "mental workspace" that scholars have theorised might be responsible for much of human conscious experience and for the flexible cognitive abilities that humans have evolved.

Taking that into account, I would like to bring attention to the connections between Imagination and Memory within the human brain; "Images made by functional magnetic resonance imaging technology show that remembering and imagining sends blood to identical parts of the brain."* This means that there is a distinct connection between the act of imagination, and the use of memory.

While I'm sceptical of most mental abilities, there is evidence that supports the human mind's ability to manipulate the physical world in one way or another. That being said, I don't believe it isn't too much of a leap of logic to assume that the spirit or soul of a person is contained somewhere within the temporal lobe that controls the function of memory.

Children are able to perceive ghosts because they haven't been subjected to the synaptic pruning of an adult, meaning a neurological connection between the temporal lobe and the cortical/subcortical network exists in a stronger force granting them a greater vantage point into the metaphysical realm of their imagination.

The story? They were a mediocre pop rock act that teenage girls loved the fuck out of. Then one day they decided to imitate Frank Zappa, who was a much more talented musician than all of the Beatles combined. This proved highly successful for them, and they are to this day credited for being geniuses, while Frank Zappa remained mostly unknown to the mainstream.

Frank Zappa's did stuff on his own terms. Seems to be one of the only great rock musicians without any ties to the occult. Am I right or have I just missed something?

Would you be so kind as to provide your viewpoints or answers to the questions you asked? Or do you just want to see anons fighting over beliefs?

>>17912967
Have to agree with the other guy. The way you phrased your post, you're just going to get fedora tippers, Christ-fags, and people saying vague, unhelpful things like "If you believe, you'll see it was there all along."

>>17912967
I assume that when you die your consciousness ceases to exist. Much like before you were born.

I've never seen any convincing proof otherwise.

Filthy Gaijin Letting toilet touch clothes.

>>17911845
You're saying you had to close the toilet a second time AFTER you took your clothes off it. How were your clothes on top of an open toilet? I highly doubt you meant they were on the tank because the way your wrote it implies you didn't notice it being mysteriously open until you removed your clothes.

This is either a poorly thought out RP or a poorly written experience:/ can you explain it a little better please?

>>17911901
Okay so I closed the lid WITH my clothing still on, and as I was taking my clothing off to put them on the toilet the lid was open so I re closed it.

I live in New England and have a recording of an unidentified creature that my friend and I encounter hiking. It sounds like a cross between a frog/bird/electrical arc. Could also supply background/cut sequence music since another anon posted theme already. What's your email?
