If I understand what you are saying, it's that after we die "spirits" remain behind in the form of the personalities of the deceased and you can hear their voices in your mind. Yes? If you mean thoughts, or memories of what a loved one says or would have said, that makes sense to me. If what you're saying is the deceased are intact as living communicable entities, I would disagree. But I don't think it's harmful for you to believe what you believe.
As a Buddhist, we only think qualities and karma follow you into future lives. NOT fully intact personalities or appearances from this life.
This is complicated to explain to someone who doesn't understand spiritual nature. Personalities are strongly influenced by spirit but that isn't what the spirit is. The spirit is also not a "living communicable entity" because those things are all physical. Thoughts and memory are recalls from our physical brain. Perhaps the best way to describe the spirit is as something like a thought or memory, in that it's not a physical thing, but rather than a product of our brain, is on a different frequency than our physical one... another dimension.
The spiritual exists in a spiritual sense just as the physical exists in a physical sense. There is no physical spirit just as no spirit is physical. Some people make the error of dismissing spiritual nature on the basis of no physical evidence. They demand some kind of physical proof of spiritual nature and if there were ever any physical proof, the spiritual thing would forever cease to be spiritual.
Now, let's loop this back in to physics so you can possibly comprehend the point I'm making... We know that dark matter and dark energy exist because of mathematics. It makes up 96% of our universe, yet we cannot directly interact with it. The only way we know it exists is through mathematics. Would it make sense to claim it doesn't exist because we can't observe, measure or test it? No, because math doesn't lie... it has to be there, regardless of our ability to observe it directly.
Oh, so now it's "nobody would understand" "I'm special." Lol. You have a belief that others may or may not share. That is all.
Why are you dishonestly putting quote marks around things I never said? What is it about this topic that compels you to lie and mislead others If I actually thought no one could understand and I was special, there is no purpose for me to even be in this thread.
That is basically what you are saying here, no? That you had some kind of experience and that allows you to be "spiritual." Puhleese.
No, that was not what I said. Every human has the ability to be spiritually connected. I simply relayed how I personally became spiritually enlightened. I'm sure I am not alone but i made no claim that was the only way or that it was foolproof.
That is nothing but your own belief.
