I just thought of cleaning this place of cobwebs and nitty gritty grease, so that I could shout aloud and say "hey world, I'm back, and I'm not dead yet!" *echoes* O_o

You guessed right. I just felt the urge to keep this weblog up and running again. And for what purpose? That, I am not pretty sure. >_o

I just want to share this to you guys. This is an essay-post I made for Vindicta V2 under the SRSLY thread (please refer to forum links), and it is all about irregular entities (ghosts, ETs, afterlife, etc.). I would like to read some insights from you guys. Thanks.

Here goes.

My view regarding irregular entities would revolve on "existence". In my point of view, one could not verify the existence of such irregular entities all throughout without understanding the essence of existence itself. How, and why do we and everything that could be perceived by humans exist? What is truth? What is the meaning of such existence?

I have come across a theory which states that humans and all other living things capable of perception are "programmed", possibly by another form of existence from another plane, to perceive things in an orderly fashion. An underlying question states: "If a tree falls down in a forest and nobody is there to see it, would one still think that it exists?" Isn't it possible that everything that humans sense are just products of a complex system of individual perceptions of each human? Could it be that irregular entities from another plane/dimension (particularly ghosts) are just "glitches" wherein only certain individuals could perceive? Could there be a possibility that other forms of dimensions exist and that a handful of humans, or even animals, through the help of the "glitch" in the complex system, are granted the capability to interact with entities from such dimensions?

An example which cites this premise is that from a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. The RMC, in support of Thomas Aquinas' "Prime Mover" theory, explains this in this way: that every moving object must have a mover, and in order for the mover to move, one must move the mover, which eventually, the mover of the 1st mover must be moved by a "prime" force, a force popularly dubbed as "God". Yet who moves the prime mover? The RMC states that such should not be questioned, but how could one explain the premise "that every moving object must have a mover, and that mover must be moved" and so on and so forth? Could it be the Universe itself is a system of gears that operate such forces? Or that the Universe is only a gear that forms a much wider complex system of forces?

Ghosts (and anything deemed supernatural) may have come from different planes, and in relation to the earlier statement regarding perception, only a handful of humans may have the ability to interact with these beings, which could be related to as the "Sixth sense". There could also be a possibility that the thoughts of such humans could shape what kind of ethereal being they might perceive, hence the apparitions of "loved ones" allegedly reported by certain people.

Afterlife could be simply the switch of one's perception, or, religiously speaking, a human's "soul" to another dimension. It could be possible also that afterlife could mean a "new" life, or reincarnation, may it happen in the future or even in the past, because each frame in time, according to another theory I came across previously, could be deemed as a dimension in itself.

Extraterrestrials, or the so-called "aliens", are beings that are deemed that could exist in another life-supporting body somewhere in the Universe. Such may exist on the same plane where humans exist, since direct interaction could be possible (if not for the lightyears-away distance of every star and star system).

To wrap things up, existence and its essence could not be properly verified if one does not undergo the inevitable: death, or in my earlier explanation, "the switch of one's perception, or, religiously speaking, a human's "soul" to another dimension". One must be able to understand the concept and nature of the alleged existence of dimensions.

It's been a while since I last proved my existence here. o_O It's good that I am indeed doing something worthwhile right now *prepares journal for update*, aside from playing Pokemon Leaf Green on GBA SP. XD

Once again, another school term will end drastically as if it was just started yesterday. o_o Right now, I'm expecting that I'd be getting 4.0's in at least two- four subjects *crosses fingers*, and I'm just hoping that I'd do well in our final test for Biotech this Thursday. Oh yeah, I'm also hoping that despite of the fact that I did not study well for the last exam, I'd still get a 4.0 in Psychology. o_o Those 4.0s would give me a good chance for my UP Manila transfer plan, and if ever I succeed, I'd be lurking everyday in Timezone RP Manila for Drummania and Guitarfreaks V3. XD But the worst part of this term ending is of the fact that our block's going to be disbanded next term. I'm both happy and sad for the fact that I'm not going to have them as my classmates in most of my subjects anymore (but not until the first term of the next school year, since we're going to be arranged in blocks again...[?] that is, if I decide to stay in DLSU), happy because I'd be away from those people that I do not want to be with and sad because I'd be away from most of my closest friends in my block. My block formed part of a chapter in my life that's classified under the good experiences, so I guess that it would be inevitable for me to miss them. In fact, one time I even told myself that I'd be much happier now if only my setting during high school was similar to that I have experienced with my current block mates.

Another thing, last Saturday I realized that the impossible indeed became possible as I witnessed it  with my two eyes last Saturday. QPS brought Beatmania IIDX Gold, along with DM GF V4, in Rockwell, which was kind of an amazing feat considering the not-so large population of Filipino Beatmania otakus (as compared to the number of Filipino Drummania and Guitarfreaks enthusiasts). Enamoured by the sight of the machine, I played some songs in it (yeah, Snow Storm) but failed miserably. T__T Guess it would take me some time before I could familiarize myself to the 7-key format. -_-
