If you've been paying attention, you would know that celebrity deaths are only one facet of the phenomenon. And in my case, it's always been hearing about it on the radio or somone has the TV on and i overhear it.

if you are really serious about this, it is very easy to prove/disprove- every time you read online about a celebrity (however minor) dying, take a screen shot- file these in whatever manner you like.
that is good advice.
Then, when said deceased celebrity suddenly stars in a new movie- voila, produce your screenshot of the appropriate news site, time, date etc
Only as hard as electrons. There is no 'out there' out there.
Within a few years you have hard evidence
I agree,I remember exactly that!

I could swear Abe Vigoda was dead as well. Was a big Barney Miller fan and remember feeling sad that he had died.
Certain other celebrities too, that I remember hearing had died, that now appear to be alive. Guess their happy about that fact, but there is something weird going on.
"Reality is only on the mind of the observer... " true, unless the observer is 'outside' of that reality.. Which happens now and then, just look at people that swear life started 6000 years ago and are ready to give their lives to protect that " reality", we know nothing/too little about "reality", being a thing that can only be interpreted by our individual senses..
Weener weener, cheekin deener! How about that? And in my model, the entire universe is a manifestation of Intelligent Infinity having a very persistent dissociative episode... ON PURPOSE!

I've only read the first few replies, and while the story of your father does bring up interesting issues, the other aspects make me think of someone who is having dissociative episodes.
But I haven't had a missing-time episode since... 1977.
Old verbiage was multiple personality disorder. While I am certainly not about to diagnose you as one such person, your accounts of not remembering conversations is similar to such episodes based on my studies in college many years ago.
Mundanity is profanity. There's nothing mundane about anything real, even a pile of garbage. Only one's small-mindedness keeps one from witnessing glory and wonder on demand. But that's OK. That's your experience, and I respect that. However, I demand the same. I don't expect you to believe me, but you certainly will not tell me what's what.
There are competent tests to help if that is a possible answer to what is happening to you. Before I jump to alternative universes and time lines, I look for the more mundane answers albeit uncomfortable for one to consider I am sure.
Serious, yes. Severe? No. I lean towards Asperger's, not psychosis. I know what a schizoid personality is like. My adopted brother is schizophrenic.
I would ask you if you ever suffered serious trauma and / or abuse in your life.
Not since I used lysergic acid diethylamide to uncover and examine them. It was painful, but it was certainly worth it.
Do you have episodes of your life that are just blank?
that ain't me
Many people who have suffered terribly cannot recall years of their life as their mind simply blots them out due to the emotional and spiritual pain they cause.
if someone can't be bothered to dig the demons out of their own damned closet, they have no business mucking around inside someone else's head. Which is why I self-treated. Note: I have the lawful authority to do so, as a native american.
I had a friend who could not remember anything before the age of seven. We never did come to understand why that is, but her early life is a complete blank and she did have some emotional issues which would become apparent when she felt stressed. Interestingly, she was a psychiatric nurse in the facility where I worked which is fairly common to find individuals working in the psychiatric field who have suffered emotionally.
If you send me 5,000 dollars, I'll go see one. Promise!
I am not calling you crazy. I do think you should see a competent psychiatrist who is not pill happy. I wish you well.edit on 26-3-2013 by UnifiedSerenity because: (no reason given)

Originally posted by truthseeker84 She wasn't lying, the milliseconds and seconds that she went through the portal, time no longer functioned as we perceived. She really did travel to other regions of space in seconds, in fact, she stayed there for almost 20 minutes or more.
So what does this tell us? Just because someone cannot rule out all unknowns and/or assumptions, it does not mean that they are lying or they are wrong about their experiences.
Thanks for bringing this up. The overuse and misapplication and misquotation of Occam's Razor stem from the monkey-mind's desperate attempts to maintain its paradigm in the face of evidence that said paradigm is in danger of becoming obsolete. Usually this is manifested as the braggadocio and swagger of a 'superior intellect' that cannot back up its superiority by examining the information at hand. The mantra, "The simplest solution to a problem or question is usually the correct one" is an EFFECT of Occam's Razor when it is used correctly. As I stated, I am a big fan of it. Brevity and intelligence go hand in hand. Some like to guard their paradigm with the notion that the "conventional" model of existence is simpler than one that allows for more fluidity, such as what we're discussing in this thread. I say, rather, that it is much more complicated to have seven billion separate consciousnesses roaming the earth than to admit that everything is and always has been in essence, one. Quantum Physics sees the world partly through that lens. I, like another poster, am excited with the new "Quantum Biology" and Sheldrake's morphogenetic fields. Unity consciousness is anathema to Ego, since Ego depends on separation for validation of its existence and worth. To get to unity consciousness, you don't have to destroy the Ego, you just have to tame it.

Why is it people feel the need to use Occam's Razor, at all?
the way it is commonly used, this thread is a perfect example, is quite silly, indeed. But that's when it's wielded by fearful minds attempting to protect their own validity. Just as it was done (intentionally, for illustrative purposes) in "Contact"
Occam's Razor is not infallible, it is "more scientific method" if you will, but it is no way perfect or infallible. The logic behind Occam's Razor, to me, is pretty silly in fact.
