Can You See The Dead?!

Dead People?

CAN YOU SEE DEAD PEOPLE??!!

Death, the final frontier, is a mystery that has always intrigued mankind. People throughout history have questioned what lies beyond life. To unlock these mysteries, ancient Greeks practiced mirror gazing in temples called necromanteion. They believed they could communicate with the dead through this ritual. Dr. Raymond Moody modernized mirror gazing, known as psychomanteum, for personal divination. This practice involves creating a special environment and reflecting on memories of loved ones. The experience can induce trance-like states and sensations of heaviness or tingling. However, it is not recommended to try this at home or without proper preparation. Death remains a topic of fascination and exploration for many, but caution is advised when delving into the unknown.

psychomanteum is not a new practice

rather it's a new name given to an older

version of necromancy that was used in

ancient Greece back then people very

much like us today ponder the meaning of

life and does what is that even in what

can be considered antiquity human beings

one of the answers to a light beyond the

veil in death and possibly beyond so

they went to Oracle's and temples that

were called necro maintains where a

series of rituals would take place all

to bridge the gap between life and death

to speak to family members and others

that had died process of these rituals

were sometimes include animal sacrifice

but also there were long hallways that

were polished to be as reflective as

possible in this hallway the light will

be dimmed with only the use of lamps in

a slight flickering that hit off the

water to create a reflective surface

much like a mirror it wasn't that

reflective surface that many Greeks

believed that they could see into the

beyond in the spirits of those who were

dead although and I'm really against

this mirror gazing has

made a return to the mainstream and has

found his place in modern day

unfortunately it would not have been so

without the famed of philosopher and

psychologist dr. Raymond Moody who has

devoted his life and work to study

for near-death experiences

dr. Moody's method of mirror gazing

psychomanteum is without the animal

sacrifices of course without the animal

sacrifices of antiquity in ancient

Greece rather the use of the mirror in

this modern day practice is more as a

medium or conduit for divination and

what is gained from these experiences is

supposedly very personal and specific so

how does this work much like the

ritualistic procedures found in

antiquity in ancient Greece there's pre

work and preparation to be done

psychomanteum is not just about setting

up some mirrors and angling them in

asserts a way to induce some awakening

or calling out to Mary or something

rat8her there's the much internal

striving that must parallel the efforts

of the mirror medium dr. Moody has

helped to develop specific techniques

for creating an atmosphere almost

anywhere to conduct your own mirror

gazing experience your own personal

psychomanteum and again I don't

recommend doing this but here's how it

works first food food plays a

significant role in in who we are

whether we recognize it we're not and

who we affect what we do we're better

yet how we do it productive moody

suggestion eliminating caffeine in dairy

at least a day before and maintaining on

non-meat diet only fruits and vegetables

is essential next choosing a location

that is relaxing and calming a place

quiet in disconnected from the world is

important you know so when something

this come to the mirror and nothing or

no one can hear you scream this also

connects to the removal of things deemed

material like watches and jewelry even

clothing sometimes awareness mood

posture all of that also affects the

experience being in a supportive chair

or seat to ease any possible tension

reflecting on something anything

soothing to stimulates awareness can

also be essential this all leads to the

more tangible in hands-on aspects of

asserting memories such as photographs

and other personal items that belonged

to or was connected to your loved one

m8ore personnel you're trying to connect

with finally the mirror which should

have been placed in front of you so in a

way that the person can gaze at it

without seeing their own reflection now

according to dr. moody the mirror gazing

experience may last around a minute but

sometimes long for those who have done

mp4

we're not truly becoming practitioners

of the medium the psychomanteum

experience itself consists of different

attributes such as trance-like

meditative States the feeling of

heaviness in the arm tingling fingers in

some occasions the mirror itself

distorts remaining passive and not

taking an active role except for

possibly an already prepared question in

mind is the most advantageous to gaining

insight in effectively making contact

with the dead in the experience you know

again and this just might be from my

experience playing Bloody Mary which you

should never do and no one should ever

gaze in a mirror and recite things or

want something to maybe look that guy's

just not a wise thing but to borrow a

phrase from a time long gone and from a

poet that had a different kind of

insight of UV read from that of a mirror

gazing death be not proud in our human

quest to understand life it shouldn't be

underestimated the critical and parallel

role that death place in our perception

of light so the two is linked in it is

only natural whi8le we are alive some of

us try to explore what death is and seek

8those that have died before us but again

not the smartest thing and this is just

a really interesting topic so I want to

share with you guys I'm not advocating

you try this at all I always think a

darkroom in a mirror really bad

combination anyway for those of you who

have done something like this let me

know what your experience in the

comments below like I said I've tried to

Bloody Mary game and after I caught out

to Bloody Mary the third time I think I

was in saying why was I doing that I got

too scared I walk down which what I

think was one of the smartest things I

fact or fiction
