CAN You SEE THE DEAD ?

Hello, everyone, it's Moses Brima Conteh. Today, let's delve into a topic that has fascinated humanity for centuries—the enigma of death. Death, the final frontier, remains a destination we all must reach, regardless of our attempts to cling to material possessions and even our own bodies. The concept of death is a profound mystery, leading many to question what lies beyond and whether there's life after death.

Various methods, both conventional and unconventional, have been employed throughout history to uncover the secrets of death. While religion, séances, and psychic sessions are more mainstream, there's a lesser-known practice called psychomimetic, a form of mirrored gazing. Before we dive into it, I want to emphasize that I do not endorse trying this at home.

Psychomimetic is not a recent discovery; it harks back to ancient Greece, where people sought answers about life beyond death. Temples known as necromanteions were dedicated to bridging the gap between the living and the dead through rituals, including mirrored hallways believed to reveal glimpses of the afterlife.

Fast forward to the modern day, and psychomanteum has made a resurgence, thanks in part to Dr. Raymond Moody, a philosopher and psychologist devoted to studying near-death experiences. Dr. Moody's approach involves mirrored gazing, sans the animal sacrifices of ancient Greece. The mirror serves as a medium for divination, providing personal and specific insights.

Now, let's briefly explore how psychomanteum works. First and foremost, diet plays a crucial role. Dr. Moody recommends eliminating caffeine and dairy at least a day before the session, opting for a non-meat diet of fruits and vegetables. The location chosen for the practice should be tranquil, disconnected from the outside world, and free from material distractions like watches and jewelry.

The practitioner must adopt a relaxed posture, reflecting on soothing stimuli to enhance awareness. Personal items, such as photographs and belongings of the deceased, are introduced into the environment. The mirror, placed in front of the person, is positioned so that they can gaze at it without seeing their own reflection.

Dr. Moody suggests that the psychomanteum experience may last around a minute, inducing trance-like meditative states, sensations of heaviness in the arms, and tingling fingers. The mirror remains a passive medium, with practitioners possibly having an already prepared question in mind.

While this practice has its proponents, it's essential to approach it with caution. I want to reiterate that attempting psychomanteum or similar activities can be psychologically intense and is not advisable. In the quest to understand life and death, one must be mindful of the potential risks involved in such explorations.

Death, intertwined with our perception of life, remains a natural curiosity for many of us. It's only human to ponder the mysteries of what lies beyond while we are still alive. If any of you have experiences or insights related to psychomanteum or similar practices, feel free to share them in the comments below. Personally, I recall attempting something akin to this with the Bloody Mary game in my youth, a decision that I quickly reconsidered. Stay curious, but always prioritize your well-being.
