Balance_Maintained: "Since by definition, a ghost is the spirit of something that at one point was alive, it could be argued that if ghosts do exist, then dead is not dead, but rather a transition from one state of being to another."

Balance_Maintained: "For example, he kind of catches the tail end of one of my own speculations that, should we dig deeper into the matter, we would find that EM is the core of our physical reality, and can probably be used to explain a whole host of otherwise unexplainable phenomena, such as a persons sensitivity to thoughts and events occurring outside of the range of their 5 acknowledged senses. But, for the sake of clarity, I am going to keep my own odd speculations out of this thread as it is already strange enough."

There are two biospheres upon this world, a dark matter biosphere and a matter biosphere. The dark matter biosphere was seeded here first to support the dark matter life forms that live here (there are many). Souls are born in the Cauldron of Souls and emerge unto this world by the Shepard's Path. Souls that emerge are somewhat like children, and like children they are hungry. A guide takes them to a fetus whose brain has become developed enough to support a soul. This in typically at the end of the fifth month of gestation. At the moment a soul is bestowed, the child is its' own and protected by the laws of heaven. Therefore to kill a fetus of six months or older is a sin.

The soul forges a relationship with the brain of the fetus, stimulating its' developing parasympathetic nervous system with its' own feeding rhythm. In this way, the soul is sustained with the energy it needs to survive. The soul is the source of some, but not all, psychic phenomenon. Its' time sense can sometimes supply useful premonitions, as well as potentially create the temporal distortion phenomena that some have experienced.

During the course of your life the soul becomes the person that it abides in, adapting their personality and retaining a perfect copy of their memories. It is in these perfect memories that souls too often get lost rather than walk the path of life again. It is very sad, but these poor souls slowly starve and loose their shape, becoming just a ball of sentient gas, until even that, fades away.

Souls currently have no natural predators on this world, but this was not always so. These E-matter predators are most commonly known as demons. There are two classes of these beasts. The most dangerous are those born in Hell. The gates of Hell were sealed in 76 AD and the last demon slain circa 1900. Humanity is currently safe from these vile beings.
