Insights from Voices of the 'Dead': EVP
Details
Spirituality necessarily revolves around spirits, the soul, mind, consciousness. (If it didn't, it would have to be called Uality.)
This Sunday, we'll hear 'ghosts' speak - as EVP - on recordings from fifteen years of ghost investigations, and discuss some of the remarkable insights (and dispel spurious notions) about life, death, and immortality.
- Are voices recorded at haunted venues produced by actual discarnate humans ('dead people') or by the investigators themselves?
- Who are they, and why would they decide to 'haunt' a location?
- Is what's important to them really important?
- What did the elderly man (the dark blob in the photo) want from us?
- Does he even know he's (shh!) d.e.a.d.?
Technological advances have generously increased humanity’s historic inventory of evidence favoring post-mortem survival, in the forms of ghost experiences, previous incarnation memories, mediumistic communication, and near-death experiences, with a new and arguably objective member: EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), recordings of human voices and sounds that are neither produced nor heard by those present at the time of the recording!
Most EVP, captured at locations where other haunting-type phenomena are reported, are therefore hastily presumed by 'ghost hunters' as evidence of human survival after death, brushing aside serious consideration about who or what actually created them, and how. And while individual EVP recordings reveal aspects of an individual's identity, they collectively offer broader insights about the nature of ghostly phenomena and ourselves, as ghost wannabes (or gonnabes?) Setting aside fraud, sloppy data collection, and inadequate interpretation, enquiring minds want to know… are EVP actually voices of ‘dead’ people, playback of localized residue of past events, psychokinetic expression of investigator’s subconsciouses, or even ET’s? What does this suggest about the nature of reality itself and why we are here?
This Sunday, we’ll review an array of clearly audible EVP from trusted researchers and the conditions under which they were captured, and determine among ourselves what EVP may (and may not) suggest about post-mortem survival and consciousness. Attendees are warmly invited to bring their own EVP or other related experiences up for consideration.
