Remember always whatever we send forth on the waves of thought and deed in the universe will definitely boomerang. Our miseries, sorrows and diseases are all the results of our deeds. Our world is the creation of our thoughts. We tend to blame others or circumstances for our failures and miseries. Our mind - a product of our environment and worldly education - wonderfully advocates for all our sins and wrong deeds.

The energy which is conciousness, I believe can transcend death. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so how can or life force cease to exist?
According to Stephen Hawking in “A Brief History of Time”, the term ‘conservation of energy ‘ is the Law of Science that states that energy (or its equivalent in mass) can neither be created or destroyed - but it can and does, change form.

But does it stay "collected," as a consciousness, or dissipate into the general cosmic energy "field"?
Originally posted by vistesdI would say that parts of it at least stay cohesive. Maybe not us as a whole being but parts. The parts that we may have connected to most will stay cohesive. Maybe the parts are seperated and then passed on, ie reincarnation. But views of past lives and the ability of some to connect with the past, mediums, spirit guides, shows us that certain strains stay cohesive.

I'm not arguing, just wondering. And am too tired tonight to do that well! Isn't it possible that such things are simply (!) part of our collective unconscious, in some Jungian sense?
Originally posted by vistesdFor that to be true imho would mean that we are not individuals while we are alive. I think we are individuals and as such bring something into the conciousness overall. Adding a little each in our own ways. It is these thoughts of individuality that I think carry on. Strands of thought put together in a seperate and unique order. Maybe most of us returns to overall energy or force that binds life together, but these errant strands of thought maintain their indiviuality.

Originally posted by NyxieAh. I really like the last two lines of your post--I need to ponder it for awhile, but that makes sense to me. As for the question of individuality, Jung posited three basic levels of "consciousness": 1) the conscious (our everyday awareness, understanding, etc.), 2) the personal unconscious, and 3) the collective unconscious, which "contains" archetypes, symbols, urges, etc. that we share with all of humanity. Many religious archetypes, for example, have an uncanny resemblance across cultures. And the more we are able to tap into the unconscious, the "larger" our individual persona becomes.

I was just thinking that perhaps the experiences you mentioned might come from mainly the collective unconscious, and the experiences would certainly reflect the "addition" of our individuality.

Originally posted by NyxieYou are absolutely correct, demons cannot bother you until you give them permission, either by your thought process (which results in an aura of fear that they can perceive) or if you dabble in the occult, which is basically an invitation to demons. Christians, however, are covered in the blood of Christ, so demons have exactly 0 power over us...unless we let them.

The Bible says to stay away from mediums and people like that.
Originally posted by DarfiusThat's very interesting about demons being attracted by an aura of fear. I would say that we create our own demons, and I think you'll disagree with that. But, either way, that's an interesting connection I had not thought of, and I need to think about it some more. That's a really interesting point.

'speaking in tongues.'
These are viewed as occult by non-Christians.
Who are you to say that your 'supernatural experiences' are True and that
other people have 'Demonic ones?'
Opinion, not fact.
