A bee in my bonnet
A bee in my Bonnet
How it is that people’s attitude of the paranormal has changed so much over the last 20 years? Yet people believe in spirituality, prayer, the church even gurus from India. Yet the very moment you mention paranormal, ghosts or strange sightings instantly they become a sceptic!
When questioned closer they themselves or some one they known has had an unusual experience of the paranormal kind. Therefore, the sceptic is now a believer that is afraid to admit because people will either laugh or treat them differently. It is ok to believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit or even have a different religious belief.
Most people have a faith deep in side that gets pushed to one side, is it because of the media?
Programmes that try to install fear and make us scared witless, or make a mockery of it all and call it entertainment. Alternatively, the Ghost tour groups or so called ghost clubs that are in most towns making lots of money from you through fear, hoping to see something jump out at you when you least expect it?
Even well- known so-called mediums have been caught up in the lime light of fame and television in the name of entertainment. By the very people who have employed one of the mediums services (not mentioning any names), view him as a liability by there own hand. It is these types of programmes, visually and mentality, that have done damage by being over the top and untrue merely to increase their ratings.
If a programme was viewed on television, mocking a religion there would be an instant outcry and some one would be made to answerer the consequences. So why is it any different to mock spirit activity?
Many famous and public figures of their time either were believers in the paranormal or were practicing in some sort of mediumistic or psychic work. For example, Dr Henry Slade in 1855,Prof.Augustus de Morgan 1806-1871 was the first English scientist to investigate Spiritualism and became convinced of the existence of the supernatural. He said, “Intelligence exterior to ourselves is the only satisfactory one”.
Dr Gustave Geley1865-1924. Lord Arthur Balfour1848-1930 served as British Prime Minister from 1902-1905 was a believer in telepathy and psychic phenomena.
William Stainton Moses 1839-1892 a clergyman on the Church of England had mediumistic skills and often included this in his sermons as well as writing many pages of his work.
Dr A Russel Wallace co-discovered with Charles Darwin the theory of Evolution.
The Rev G.Vale Owen 1869-1931 a Church of England clergyman developed spirit controlled writing of which we now call automatic writing.
Lord Dowding commander of the R.A.F during the battle of Britain wrote many books regarding the continuity of the after life and he was given communication from other mediums of his fallen comrades.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is to name a few, the list is endless. Queen Victoria as well as Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Diana Spencer were all believers and often consulted mediums.
Even the Vatican had there own private investigation on mediumistic work, this was denied by the church until it was leaked to the press and published.
Therefore, you can see that we have forgotten the past and ignorant of the present. We have much to learn from the past to help us all go forward.

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of http://www.trustactive.com can continue to provide so much worthwhile information and unforgettable experience to http://www.trustactive.com readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: If you make fun of a shitty band from the 70s, someone who stopped listening to music in 1989 will complain I will be back.

The writer of http://www.trustactive.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: The fact that things ever go right is so that things may go more spectacularly wrong later. I will be back.
