Oh, in that case, I’ll get my voidwalker out to restore his health so I can see invisibility. Or I’ll pop a potion.
Unlike ghosts however, the dead people start to stink after a couple days. 
Oh, I agree, and furthermore…
Regarding the superiority of FE over RE:
If one is taught to believe in the educational system and accept their view of the world, which basically focuses on the physical world (Round Earth-ism) it will be harder, probably impossible to discern the spiritual world (including the Flat Earth truth). People who tend to question authority and teachings of the educational system remain more open to the spiritual (flat) reality! 
I was staying at my grandmother’s house for a week when I was in my 20’s. I was reading very late one night in the living room recliner after everyone had gone to bed. While I was engrossed in whatever book I was reading, I heard the definite sound of a long, drawn-out, mournful sigh, behind and a little above me. It could not have been any creepier.
I kind of laughed to myself and continued reading, convinced that I had imagined it. About a half-hour later, I heard it again. There was no way I could have mistaken the sound. Thoroughly creeped out, I vowed to listen carefully for it this time. And about 15 mintues later, I heard it again. It was my grandmother’s aged central heating system kicking on. Even knowing what it was, it still kind of gives me goose pimples after all those years – it was that eerie.
Apparently the ambient house sounds kept me from noticing the noise during the day, and the combination of the night and generally creepy ambience magnified it all out of proportion to its mundane reality.
If I had been of a different mind0set than I am, I would have left the house, and been writing today about the night I defintely heard a ghost at my grandmother’s house. And, knowing me, probably embellished the memory in the process over the years.
Bolding mine. You just confirmed what Anamika and others have said. And that is why you can and are likely to see ghosts.
It doesn’t matter what education you have and how educated you are. It has more to do with what you do with your mind and how you want to think. If you are the type who are willing to believe without evidence, unwilling to give up beliefs because they lack evidence, then you will do just that and Education can do little change anything.
Education only provides avenues and encouragement. It is you who has to take the steps and travel.
I put that in there for the benefit of hotflungwok, who commented
Just to make it clear that I don’t “reject” education.
I believe in an afterlife and I don’t believe people would waste their time knocking around their old house; they’d have better things to do in some other realm of existence. And if they can knock around, hey, go ahead and speak too.
I have to think some “ghosts” are the figments of hypnagogicness too–a friend mentions lying in bed and seeing a book move–um, pretty good chance he was in between wake and sleep somewhere.
Yet…
He beats his fists upon the posts,
Ans still insists he sees the ghosts.
It’s a very thin line that I like to call ‘sanity’.
However, due to the tenuous nature of personal reality, you get to decide for yourself who falls on which side of the line at any given moment…
Reason and learning, and the ability to apply them to a subjective experience.
I’ve had an amazingly intense experience of hypnagogic sleep paralysis. It could very easily have convinced me of the existence of malevolent spiritual entities if I hadn’t known what it was.
I’ve also seen animal variants of “shadow people”. The tiger was the most impressive. I combined the fact that they weren’t there when I looked harder with some information about how the mind processes images and decided they were not, in fact, an unknown type of critter.
I have similar ideas about the rods and orbs that show up in all of those digital photographs, which we somehow managed to miss completely during the film era. Crop circles too, come to think of it. It takes a special mind to say "Yes, this could be man made or an artifact of the technology, but this one over here, which looks pretty much the same, could NEVER have been faked and is obviously evidence of intelligent aliens who have come to Earth to (insert motive apparently derived from… somewhere).
Take a look at the psychology experiments where they evaluate the validity of eye witness evidence, and keep in mind that nobody is immune from the distortions.
None of which is really relevant here, since my spirit guide Jabindranath, a warrior poet of ancient Mu, has revealed to me that the real reason you haven’t seen any ghosts is just that they don’t want to appear to you, as they find you strange and offputting, largely due to your taste in shoes.
I can teach anyone to speak to – and receive answers from – spirits. I also do not believe in the supernatural.
These probably seem like contradictory statements to most folks here, but only because they have confused science – the philosophy of empiricism – with rationalism. The empiricist makes no claims, only observes and attempts to derive workable models from these observations. It is the rationalist who then comes to the (rather astounding) conclusion that “ghosts and spirits do not exist.”
The problem is that people believe ghosts and spirits are a supernatural phenomenon. They aren’t. Ghosts and spirits are a psychological phenomenon. So are they real? Of course they are. Reality is what you experience. It is the rationalist who questions hir own experiences, not the empiricist.
So, on to the fun part: how to communicate with spirits.
Carl Jung developed quite a few techniques for what he called “active imagination,” some being easier than others. Much of his work, for example, came from conversations with what he referred to as a “demon,” which he was well aware inhabited his own mind, and was not some horned interloper from spaces infernal. While it takes considerable time and discipline to be able to carry on conscious conversations with spirits, there are a few techniques which are easier, although the effect won’t be as strong.
Go into a quiet room with no outside stimulus. That means no windows, no TV, no telephone, no people, etc. Just sit. Be very still and concentrate only on the sounds of your own body. Now, when you’re centred and feeling bored, close your eyes and listen very closely to the sound of your ears. It sounds strange, I know, but you should be able to make out the swoosh of blood and a faint hissing or keening sound from damaged nerves. Once you’ve zeroed in on this sound, keep concentrating on it. After a while, you’ll start to hear brief snatches of sound, like someone talking. The first few times it will probably surprise you into breaking your concentration and you’ll have to start all over. But eventually, you will begin to hear bits and pieces of voices, as if someone was quickly spinning the dial on a radio. Once in a while, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to hear short sentences or sentence fragments, and your name will probably be mentioned frequently. Congratulations, you’ve heard ghosts! That these ghosts inhabit your own brain and not the mystical aether doesn’t make them less ghostly.
Incidentally, roshis (Buddhist teaching masters) will warn students about listening to these voices, since it’s a near universal experience when dropping into a light meditative trance. It’s not that it’s at all dangerous, it’s just distracting, and it will prevent you from being able to reach the place of no-mind which is the goal of meditation.
