Spirit orbs

All religions believe that there is life after death. All religions believe that soul is immortal and has therefore an independent life from that of the body. How is it then that when you speak of spirits, ghosts, spirit orbs, apparitions and the like are considered as superstitions and hearsay? Let us look over some facts before we even discuss about soul spirit or orbs. Souls are a fact accepted by both science and religious scripts. This means that there would be some manifestation of these souls, which are invisible to the naked eye.

These apparitions are supposed to be benign though there are many instances when people experienced malevolent ghosts as well. This brings us back to what are spirit orbs? Some say they are manifestations of souls singly or in groups; others say that that bundles of energy that represent past lives, but are not souls or ghosts, as we would know these. This could be better understood if you compare the earthy world with a gigantic tape which records everything that happens; sometimes, something triggers this tape and you have fragments of the past played back to you. Other school of thought opine that these orbs are the vehicles of one sacred spirit or more which cannot move on their own as the regular ghosts do, for some reason or other.

The triggers for such events are not too well known, and therefore this cannot be researched to know for sure what they are and how they are formed for sure. However, the psychics and other occult mediums believe that orbs, which are not visible to the naked eye, represent the essence of someone and that the soul spirit of that someone chooses this as a medium to move about. The reason for this choice is once again not known for sure, but it could be because for some reason they are not able to move on their own.

[edit] How do see these orbs?

You cannot see these orbs, but you can photograph them. This is why the sacred spirit or ghost theories that try explain the existence of orbs are opposed by skeptics; they feel that what you capture on the camera is lights playing tricks rather than something alive, soul or anything else. It is easy to surmise that this is indeed a trick played by the light, with the exception that when filmed some of these orbs seemed to move with a life on their own just like an UFO (unidentified flying object) in the movies. Another thing that allows for reasonable doubt is that these orbs never move in straight lines, unlike what it should be if this would have been light reflections.

[edit] What is the truth?

The truth will never be known unless humans find a way to cross over after they die and explain what and how the life in the other world is. Even if this were possible, this would not be acceptable scientifically until it was researched enough, which would mean to conduct studies that involve people who died and come back in astral form. Since this is not an immediate possibility, it remains to believe what we think is the closest to the truth from our own perspective. What do you say about it?
