I don't believe in ghosts, religion or anything like that but I was going through an extremely tough time once, circumstances were that I believed my DC would be better off with me not around, I vividly remember a beautiful vision of light talking to me. It wasn't a hallucination I knew it was a version of me in my head. I didn't hear voices, it was my voice as if I was talking to myself in my head but not the me I knew iykwim. It was intensely calming, telling what an amazing person I was etc. It freaked me out afterwards as I thought I really was nuts!

I think of it as my inner spirit or guardian angel type thing.

Since them I often get what I can only describe as whole body vibrations, like hairs standing on the back of the neck shivers down my body, not scary at all. I quite enjoy them. They come about when I realise something, like my truth kind of thing. I was told by a therapist once that I was an Empath so a highly sensitive person.

It's all very odd and I was a complete sceptic about this kind of stuff before I experienced it. Had a massive body vibration yesterday after I found that I was right about something highly emotive that I'd been told I was wrong about for years.

Am I a freak or what?

Or maybe, people who have auditory or visual hallucinations are connecting with something spiritual (the other side?).

There’s no evidence of that.

“I'd find it very sad and terrifying if there was nothing. People can't just fade into nothingness.” Yes, death is sad and can be terrifying, but that doesn’t make religious beliefs true. Our fear of death is a strong driver for religion IMO.

You can have spiritual beliefs with out being religious.

We are basically energy and I believe our energy cannot die. Physically we die but our energy goes somewhere. I suppose that's what people perceive to be a soul.

I went outside once in the storm to move are bins. I felt something push me, like a hand on my back, push me forward. I stumbled forward, and felt something like down the back of my hair, then smash to the ground. It was roof tile that came off the house 3 doors up. What was it? I have no idea. I have never believed in anything. But I felt that push from behind, as clearly as anyone stood behind me and putting their hand on me, and pushing me.

I think what you are describing is a strong wind!

Energy can't be created or destroyed. That's basic physics. It's constantly been converted from one form to another. If we're cremated, our energy is transformed into heat, if we're buried we decompose and give energy to flowers or grass or worms.

The fact that our energy lives on has nothing to do with a "soul", whatever that it. I've had a good few x-rays and no soul has shown up.

I haven't read the books are played with the cards in over 15years, it was a thing years ago.
But for me I feel there is something there, even why I am searching for something, I lose everything and I ask angel where could it be, or to calm me at an interview, I find it works.
My friend always believed in angels but not religious, she was going through a hard time moving house, she was very short on cash she begged her angel and she won 1000euro on a scratch card.
These things may be coincidentally but it doesn't harm any one.

I've had a good few x-rays and no soul has shown up. An x-ray doesn't show up the different colours of the body either, doesn't mean our innards are all grey though. What shape would you expect the soul to be.
