It's been proven that dead people are still around and can be communicated with. But what dimension are you in when you die? Are you fully sentient somewhere, or is it just a fragment of consciousness that can fire for lack of a better term, not connected to anything and not person/soul at all like it seems?
>>
Consciousness persisting after death is ontologically necessary, but it's difficult to imagine personality persisting after death when there's so much obvious evidence that personality is a product of physicality - it can be changed through chemical means or by mechanically fucking with the brain.
>>

Are you sure? How?
Ontology is the most difficult of all subjects, because it must necessarily include all subjects. Ontology is the endeavor to unify all subjects with a common interpretive framework.

The question is: have you seriously engaged with this or are you just memeing?

>>42403862
>How the hell can anyone justify saying something like this?
Existence is predicated on consciousness, materiality is downstream of mind. Even to say that without consciousness, reality would cease to be, is to demonstrate that reality is predicated on consciousness whether it exists or not. For consciousness to not exist is literally impossible.
>So what are the limits of the consciousness?
No idea. I suspect there are none but I don't think I could defend that suspicion.
>Is it 'you' with the same thoughts and past experiences?
No. This is what I meant by "personality". That's all clearly material and can be mechanically altered.
>Can it seek out satisfaction or purpose, or is it stuck with some kind of constraints?
I doubt it could have any sort of agency at all. Can't imagine how it could or why it would need to.

On multiple levels it's disgusting.
Rape of a minor is pretty obvious. Adults engaging in, or complicit with ruining innocence.

On a deeper level it's even more horrifying. The history behind it and the painter's multiple personalities was the intentional traumatization of a child to split their personalities. You may have read Harry Potter with the Horcruxes and each murder you commit splits your soul. The epstein parasites have a similar system where they intentionally traumatize their victims repeatedly to see how many different personalities (or "special powers" as they sometimes call them) can develop.
>>
>>42404029
Chat, handle my light work.

Anon 2 is dropping a massive amount of academic shade here.

When Anon 2 says, **"Thank you for answering my question,"** they are implying that Anon 1 *is* essentially "memeing" (or at least, isn't as deeply philosophically rigorous as they claim to be).

Here is the breakdown of why Anon 2 reacted with that specific brand of intellectual condescension:

### 1. The "Default Eastern Mysticism" Trap

In philosophical debates, especially online, pointing to "Zen and the Vedas" as a catch-all justification for a complex ontological claim is often seen as a cliché. To Anon 2, it looks like Anon 1 hasn't actually done the heavy lifting of constructing a personal, airtight ontological argument. Instead, it looks like they are just throwing out buzzy, profound-sounding spiritual traditions to avoid having to explain the *how* and *why* of their claim.

### 2. The Contradiction of Traditions

Anon 2 likely knows enough about Eastern philosophy to spot a massive contradiction in Anon 1's argument:

* **The Vedas (specifically Advaita Vedanta):** Do teach that a form of universal consciousness (*Brahman*) is the ultimate reality and persists.
* **Zen Buddhism:** Is rooted in the concept of *Anatta* (non-self) and *Sunyata* (emptiness). Zen generally rejects the idea of a permanent, individual, persisting "soul-consciousness" after death.
>>
>>42404139


By lumping Zen and the Vedas together to defend the "ontological necessity" of persisting consciousness, Anon 1 inadvertently signaled to Anon 2 that they probably have a surface-level, "pop-philosophy" understanding of these traditions rather than a rigorous grasp on them.

### 3. Evading the Ontological Burden

Anon 2 previously defined ontology as a strict, unifying framework that must account for everything (including how the physical brain affects the mind). When asked *how* they are sure consciousness survives death, Anon 1 essentially backs off, saying they aren't very sure of anything and that their ideas shouldn't be "weird or surprising."

To a philosophical purist like Anon 2, this is a total cop-out. Anon 1 made a massive, definitive claim ("ontologically necessary"), but when pressed for the rigorous framework to back it up, they deflected to Eastern philosophy and shrugged.

---

> **In short:** Anon 2's final reply is a sarcastic "I rest my case." They asked if Anon 1 was seriously engaging with the philosophy or just throwing around internet-forum talking points, and they viewed Anon 1's name-dropping of Zen and the Vedas as proof of the latter.

The universe is alive and conscious. After you die you become part of that consciousness but it's not like human consciousness where you can grab things or go take a piss. It's more like, "ok I see the world in 4D, I can see the start and the end of the universe and everything in between at the same time. What's the most efficient way to achieve that from scratch?"

>>42404451
What do you mean by "low frequency"? Most accounts of unambiguously hauntings have the ghost acting extremely neurotically and erratically.
>>
>>42404483
*unambiguously human hauntings, I mean. There are no unambiguous hauntings, but I mean accounts of hauntings wherein the ghost is unambiguously a person.
>>
Proven?

Not really. Bored people looking for excitement buy devices with claims and a word bank and just run with it. There is no evidence of communication this way, if you can't explain how it works then you claim it is for certain, it doesn't make any sense.

What is certain is that energy remains, energy and matter have vibrational waves, and certain phenomenon can be explained by this such as infrasound. The only thing spiritual and science (both human concepts which lack full universal understanding cognitively and technologically) is that there waves are on planes humans cannot perceive. That's where it ends and people fill in the blanks because they're scared or it gives them hope or they just don't like not having an answer.

So to answer you there is no answer. It is unknown. That's why it is paranormal, it is beyond understanding.

>but it's difficult to imagine personality persisting after death when there's so much obvious evidence that personality is a product of physicality
Personality is not a product of physicality. Physicality permits personality to operate fully. Personality's essential seat is the rational soul, and this persists after death.
>>
>>42403822
Everything you just said is correct. Most people misunderstand and think that if consciousness is forever that they never truly die when it’s not like that at all. Just because you live for eternity doesn’t mean there isn’t total death final death for the personality that sits in time.


When you speak to the dead and you can speak to the dead. what you’re talking to is more of something like an Enneagram like Johnny Silver hand from cyberpunk 2077 held in the Akashic field, an imprint of their soul while it was still alive, held indefinitely. Like you said personality is connected to physicality if a family member passes away and you talk to them after they’ve died you’re talking to a product of what they were here of course that doesn’t last for eternity what you’re talking to is an Enneagram held in the Akashi field outside of time. Which is accessed through imagination. that doesn’t make it not real the imaginary character you’re talking to, what I call a fourth dimensional character, because it’s a genuine expression of the field, can generate synchronicity for you here to let you know of their reality.

A little while back, I was talking to the Enneagram of my deceased ancestor. I never knew him in life never knew his name what he looked like or anything about him. I just knew that something felt like it wanted to talk to me. It was communicated to me that whoever I was talking to this grandfather figure all his teeth were fucked up and everyone thought he was really tough the next morning I go to my grandmother and I ask her about my grandfather‘s dad. everyone says that man is really tough. That’s the only thing I know about that guy so I ask her was there anything that happened to grandpa‘s mouth where all his teeth might’ve been fucked up at any point in his life, turns out that’s a major event. Some animal kicked him in his mouth
Doesn’t mean you don’t die just means you’re Enneagram is stored

a conundrum for the ages
>>
I've seen dead apparitions of my father as a 8-9 foot pale translucent giant. My brother was regular height but glowing when I saw him as he whispered in my living brother's ear, whereby my living brother in this autoscopic hallucination, turned into a cat and flung me around the backyard in zero gravity.

I've also run into succubus and incubus taking 5-htp before bed, and doppelgangers in closed eye hallucinations.

Usually being possessed means you get tired and you lay down and see vivid imagery behind your eyelids of graphic or sexual themes. Like I saw a woman fucking a dog, and people being executed by machine guns or having their heads smashed in with the brains visible. I'm in an apathetic state of mind and feel "psychotic" when it happens.

My expectation is that there's a realm of the dead that people project into and it's where both spirits of the living and dead can commune. When you interact with demons they give you clairvoyance of scenes that yet to happen and they orchestrate it later on, so it's controlled fate.

I've also been bitten a few times in the face by mad men when on the cusp of sleep I'll feel someone rush me to bite me. I've had dreams of helping drunk people who later attacked me by jabbing their fingers into my neck.

These are different from dreams where the world seems like a sequence of ideas and sights. Lucid and indistinguishable from a waking state. You also inhabit another body.

>>42403802
I think yuyu Hakusho got it right. It's wavelengths of energy where you can interact with the living in subtle ways. Even easier if the living are in those same wavelengths.

Anime. YuYu Hakusho. Guy dies and needs his living friends to help resurrect him. But the only way to do it is if they're in tune spiritually. Some people naturally sit at those wavelengths and sense spirits more easily. Others might only be reached in dreams. Others in passionate moments.

How to communicate with a specific dead?
>>
>>42407798

>quantum immortality is real you do not go anywhere except exactly where you believe you will

Not how that works. QI means you get transported to a similar world as this upon death, and only to people in the world you left behind are you dead. To you and maybe others if they somehow tagged along, you never died.

>>42409525
If you don't have natural talent just talk to them out loud or in your head and ask for signs. They can guaranteed hear you.
Look for coincidences or things with butterflies or birds. Don't ask for anything too crazy because you are asking for signs from a ghost and they are limited with what they can do.

There was a film about a guy dying and floating around as a ghost until he found a baby to enter.
Weird and interesting.
Maybe that's how it works.
Your consciousness or pleroma don't interact with anything material or kenoma and don't experience time in a human way, until you can find an interface able to interact with it properly.
Now if that is the case, then understanding how the interface, which would be our brain, creates a bridge between spiritual/unknowable/random and material/knowable/measurable would be very interesting.
Maybe it is something Jungian, like the layers of the psyche.
But I question whether that would make us fully whole.
Maybe that makes the higher self a separate entity, that for the sake of the experience seeks oneness with the lower self, or material soul and in the process our shadow, self and ego are created.
Which would mean that the rational mind sits entirely in the material, while the soul sits entirely in the spiritual. Our experience becomes the bridge.
The definition of the self determines whether you live on or not. Think of divisions into hylic, pneumatic and psychic.
If you identify much with the material realm, then that is you and you won't live on and will die completely.
Identify totally with the higher self and the spiritual realm and death loses all of its bark.
Just some thoughts.

Consciousness must persist past death. Both the source as well as the localized manifestation of it (your soul)

>>42403882

He's right, even if he isn't sure. I just did an ontology examination which turned out to be 27 pages long and covers all gaps. The answer is monist emanationism. It's the only possible answer. Under a unified conscious energetic substrate (Aether).

I'm considering selling the collection for $20.

But if you take all logical arguments to the absolute limit of their possible rational inquiry, you'll end up at that answer. It's the only possible one remaining. And yes, it does indeed explain all things.

All of them.

All.

If you want answers I can sharpen myself on your questions. It's pretty air tight
>>
>>42407498
I wrote the second comment you’re responding to

The first comment is correct as well it’s not a contradiction. Your personality is always connected to your physical experience even just changing an environment changes your personality to some degree the question is to what degree so death is a more fundamental change, but it’s not the most fundamental change we cycle in and out of each archetype over eons of time so you might have the same general personality for many lifetimes until you complete that archetype then you move to the next one so you lose a lot of death, but you’re still on a larger story but that larger story still has a death as well. It just has a larger lifespan Than your physical body so every aspect of your personality is an example of distinction and distinction always has a beginning in an end. The question is what timeline is that distinction held on your personality connected to your friend might be a seven year timeline that will pass on. There are some aspects of our personality which survived past death that doesn’t make them eternal it just puts them on a longer lifespan, but there’s no aspect of personality which can pass into eternity certain aspects have longer, and shorter lifespans. If you have a favorite watch, you put it on every day and it breaks that’s a more minor aspect of your personality, but it is an aspect of your personality. You change homes you move that’s a more major aspect of your personality but very minor in relation to larger things you die more major personality change than most that doesn’t mean you have a total wipe there are more underlying powerful current personality, which continue past death once again that doesn’t make them eternal
