I had a strange dream where I saw my gran and she looked much younger then when I new her, also she was delighted to see me and I her. We were in this bungalow and when I had to go I was sad and cried a lot. My gran had been dead for over twenty years, but I know she is close because she had a distinctive small. I have always believed there is eternal life and that we can't die.

Has anyone else had experiences like this?

I won't go into any long discussion on this, as I have not the religious or philosophical knowledge to talk about this intelligently. But I do believe we do not simply cease to exist when we die. I have had some similar dreams/experiences of loved ones lost, even felt their "presence" at times, but I am undecided as to what state and where we go when we pass on.

I have rather conflicting opinions on this. I believe that when we die, that's it - game over. Nothing.

However, at the same time I would never deny the existence of spirits/ghosts or other paranormal activity. There are simply too many 'unexplained' encounters around for it to be dismissed entirely. At the same time, I saw something rather disturbing during my first year at university that would make it impossible for me to dismiss sprits or ghosts entirely.

So that leaves me with a conundrum - how do I reconcile my view that after death there is nothing, when at the same time I can't deny the existence of ghosts and paranormal activity?

I don't think paranormal activity is 'paranormal'. I think it's normal stuff happening at a different dimension.

String theory and M theory believe there are 10 or 11 dimensions overall, of which we're all currently hanging out in the 3rd. If we as humans in 3D can barely understand what the 4th dimension looks like, even the tiniest interaction with anything from a higher dimension will blow our minds. I don't believe in ghosts and aliens but I believe that people have real experiences (ie not elements of their own psychosis) they can't explain. The higher (out-of-sight) dimension is my theory.

Carl Sagan gives a good example here of our 3rd dimension as seen from the 2nd dimension here:

There's a lot of things that science hasn't discovered yet. Spirit runs on a much faster vibration then the earth's. Imagine a fan spinning, the human eye see's it as a blur but slow it down and you will see the blades. This is how a medium taps into the spirit world. If you slowed down the vibrations of a street or room, what could you see?

Vibrations, resonations, qi, gaia = molecular vibrations, wave theory, M-Theory, quantum entanglement etc. Different names, different ways to seek out and understand what's around us but ultimately all the same thing. Like religions with different names and faces for the same God/ divine source.

Until we can all sit on a hill in the highest dimension/astral plain (be it 11th 616th or Nth), look down on EVERYTHING and see how it interacts with eachother, we'll never be able to figure out all the whats, hows and whys. For all the maths theory and mysticism in the world, we sit blinkered in 3D. The eternal problem with scientists are that they're generally too arrogant to realise this.

OK so I'm a Christian so I totally believe in life after death

I believe our Spirit lives for ever and 666 (( mark of the beast 666 - actually means 2/3 humanity living in the body and mind but ignoring their spirit.
