A Case for the Spirit
Lowell D. Dodson        A case for the Spirit
Forward:
The following is a discussion on the theoretical nature of and possible interactions of the Sprit World
and the Natural World as parallel planes of existence or crossing dimensions within the known Universe.
The discussion is based wholly upon personal observations and life experiences tied together with
understandings of theoretical physics and philosophies from many sources some of which will be
referenced directly and others indirectly. An effort will be made to explain conclusions drawn for the
sake of argument.

Any theory must be based on certain assumptions as well as established ideas and an effort to explain
and list these will also be made as they become relevant to the subject.
The following text may be offensive to some and it is required that an open mind be brought to the
discussion in order that ideals not be insulted. Please keep in mind that I consider myself a Christian but
do not follow any doctrine of any particular faith and the concepts presented are for debate only and are
not declared to represent a basis for any religious belief system.

Assumptions:
   1.  I am as full of crap as anyone who thinks they have figured out anything that you can’t put your
finger on.
   2.  The spirit world does exist.
   3.  Entities reside within a plain of existence that is parallel to but separated from the physical plain
that is our observed natural Universe.
   4.  The General Theory of Relativity is a good approximation of certain functions within the Universe
as are other widely excepted scientific theories that will be discussed here.
   5.  The state of mind of an individual shapes their perceptions of reality.
   6.  We as a species are Spiritual beings.
   7.  Convicted states can be expressed as a frequency of thought waves of good or evil.


Glossary:
Bell Curve- The symmetrical curve of a normal statistical distribution. Also called normal curve.
   Conviction- Firm belief.
   Convicted State- One’s moral belief system at a point of time.
   Entity- See Spirit.
   Event Horizon- The region, usually described as spherical, marking the outer boundary of a black
hole, inside which the gravitational force is strong enough to prevent matter or radiation from escaping.
In this case it will represent the divider of two parallel plains of existence.
   God- An energy field that is the medium upon which all things real and unreal exist.
   Parallel Plain- One of many possible dimensions or extensions of the regular physical Universe
separated by Event Horizons.
   Reincarnation- Rebirth of the soul in another body.
   Spirit- The energy that comprises the essence of the human inner-self or disembodied self. Entity.
   Vortex-A place or situation regarded as drawing into its center all that surrounds it. In occult circles it
represents a thinning of the event horizon bringing closer the opposing planes of existence.

Subject:
If we accept the aforementioned assumptions we can construct a model wherein the spiritual plane
resides in parallel to the physical plane separated by an event horizon.  As arranged in Fig. 1 the
spiritual plane resides along a line that represents conviction states expressed as a frequency band with
negative energies to the left of a center point that is a true neutral conviction state and positive energies
to the right. The negative and positive convicted states will be referred to as evil and good respectively
to help clarify understanding. As a person’s convicted state moves to an extreme from center the higher
the level of conviction is for that person, or stated another way, the more a person strives to be good or
evil the further from center their conviction state resides. (see Fig 2)
It has been put forth in numerous writings of belief systems such as Zen and other Eastern philosophies
that people send out waves of energy based on their convicted states, this energy is purposed to align
with Fig. 2’s representation of the spectral line of the physical plane which is equal to the spiritual plane’
s frequencies distribution. As such, a person on the physical plane with an aligned convicted state as an
entity on the spiritual plane will have equal convicted state frequency and their positions on the lines
would fall inline with one another on the spectral lines.
The intensity of the energy state of the given frequency (convicted state) is represented as an extension
from the spectral lines in the vertical direction, down for the spiritual plane and up for the physical
plane toward the event horizon. This represents the activity of a given entity and their probability of
interacting on the physical plane based on their projected motivation to do so and is tempered by
reported levels of interactions across the range of convicted states.   It is calculated differently for the
physical plane as explained below and due to the presumption that generally speaking, entities have
more knowledge of the existence of the physical plane than the physical plane does of the other. This
level of knowledge of the other or belief (conviction) that it exist has a large impact on the odds that an
observer will have an encounter at some point in their life on the physical plane.
Einstein stated in his ground breaking Theory of General Relativity that all observations must be made at
the location and time of the observer and from their perspective, because unless one considers the point
of view of the observer one can never understand what the observer actually witnessed and any further
discussion of the observation would be pointless. So it is important when discussing spiritual events to
consider the witness’s convicted state to be able to potentially identify what kind of event they actually
observed.
The Theory of Special Relativity suggested that all observations are a function of probabilities. Quantum
Physics is a direct extension of these concepts and is how almost all modern sub-atomic reactions and
interactions are analyzed. This is also where all of the concepts of Chaos Theories originated and all of
them depend on the fact that one can never measure or directly witness or predict an outcome with one
hundred percent confidence. You can only assign a probability to its expected outcome. As an example
of this way of thinking; Lois has baked cookies nearly half of her life. When she sets out to bake a batch
she expects that 99.9% of the time if she does everything correctly she will have a good batch, that’s
99.9% of the time. The other .1% of the time something unknown goes sourer (pun intended) and the
cookies aren’t as good as usual. Just about anything can be considered in terms of probabilities the
challenge is selecting realistic values to use as the variable. Example of a bad value may be predicting
that you can drive to work with zero probability of needing fuel for your car. If you can do that let me
know because I’ve got a bridge for sale. A more realistic value would be based on an average fuel
consumption per mile times the distance in miles and whither or not your husband filled the tank last
night. And even then statically speaking your calculations would still be only an estimation, the actual
value would be somewhere within a margin of error. This margin of error is what brings the Chaos
Theory back into play and your dealing with probabilities again. This rolling of the dice develops what
is known as a Bell Curve. This function expresses the tendency for most of the time, you get the expected
answer but some times you don’t. So if we apply the bell curve of the observer to the spectral line for the
physical plane we start to develop an estimation of the odds that a person of a given convicted state
would have to encounter with an entity and of what convicted state that entity would be.
It has been my personal experience that most people who are of a very “good” conviction report
encounters with “good” spirits more often than with “evil”, i.e. people who pray to their God tend to
have more spiritual events with their God’s aligned conviction spirits then with others outside their
belief systems. I think this explains why few “disbelievers” have encounters with Angles or ghost,
because they stand lower odds of experiencing an event at all and then they also have lower odds of
recognizing it as such. This level of expectation or directed searching is the single largest contributing
factor in the intensity level ( height of bell curve) at the frequency point (convicted state) on the spectral
line coupled with probability that defines the bell curve of an individual on the physical plane.
