There are other 'slips' with famous people who have passed, then they haven't..

The only correlation pulled from reading is that those who experience it, have all had near-death experiences.
Does that strike home with anyone?
OH MY GOD, This has bothered me FOREVER!!!
I was SURE that he kicked it and I remember reading about it and I remember being really fcking surprised when he was...ALIVE! I tell you, I'm not crazy and I still don't know what happened and how this is possible.

Have you ever asked a doctor about this or gotten your blood checked?
You claim to have genuine concern but your claim is belied by your tagline "Mind firmly shut", and suggesting that I am in denial about a condition my father has been told he doesn't have by his doctor. Of course, you didn't know that at the time, but that's no excuse for your dismissive attitude.

Honestly, your question wasn't delivered with good manners.
Here is the post in full. What's bad-mannered about it?

The parallel universe is probably, I'm sorry to say, in your father's brain. He appears to have senile dementia. You may be aware of this already but in denial—hence this thread.
Your memory is unreliable. Why leave the house? Cartesian doubt (which you obviously espouse) wasn't invited into this metaphysical conversation. Why is that so hard to understand?
False memories of dead actors and stuff like that are a dime a dozen. Our memories are generally very unreliable; we alter and colour our stories whenever we remember them, then remember the altered and coloured memory in place of the real one. As for your friend James from Phoenix, there could be a dozen explanations for that.
That is not an image of a North Korean dictator. Does your life intersect with reality at any point?
I give a flip for originality. We're all just recycled energy, hoss. Find a groupthink hot-button I'm more interested in. Like, what other people think of me!

Typical ATS response anymore, to just insult somebody that proposes your mind is less than perfect. How original
You conveniently ignore discontinuities between living people, because that 'dead celebrity' drum is so easy to beat. It is based in hearsay, after all. Was I at Abe Vigoda's or William Katt's autopsy? Nope. You know that, yet you cling to that one aspect of this phenomenon as the platinum proof of your version of events. soooo easy
The fact is all the people you thought were dead are not dead. So that means either you're wrong and fallible or that parallel universes are merging.
Again with the unique/original crap? I think you must be a frustrated artist who gets told he's not original a mite too often. I don't live a life wherein originality is of much concern. As each man and woman are unique by definition, well, I just feel bad for you that you don't feel original enough.
Hmmm, what do I think it really is? Well since I'm not delusional I'll go with option A. By the way, your 'alive celebrities i thought were dead thread'--along with your undeserved sense of superiority--isn't unique around here either.

Conscious observation, taking notes of what one hears on the news.... There are two ways right there.

Time stream slipping has been happening a whole lot more frequently in the recent years, and I am glad that other people are expressing these concerns as well.
Now the question becomes one of - how do we start providing evidence of this (other than anecdotal stories).
Just remember: history is NOT subject to scientific (cartesian) method. No matter what the self-proclaimed adepts of logic want you to think, what happens in an ephemeral system (history, existence) is by nature ephemeral. The cartesian method allows for no true knowledge. There will always be doubt, and for this the cure is simple: To thine own self be true. Rigorous internal logic and honesty will bear more relevantly to experience than repetitious experiments in test tubes and beakers and atom smashers.
Edit to add: Anecdotal evidence is perfectly acceptable, if one's source is vetted to a degree which YOU find acceptable. The elevation of "scientific" evidence above one's own testimony is, IMO, a little crazy, and part of the reason we have inhumanity in life so abundantly today.edit on 24-3-2013 by seamus because: (no reason given)

Its enlightening to see how many of you are either completely ignoring or ridiculing anyone who attempts to apply Occams razor or any sort of scientific study or are asking for some basic conditions to be met so as to rule out certain things.
Yeah i believe all this stuff is possible......But you guys are just feeding each others delusions.
Try applying some basic scientific principles to the subject without relying on hearsay.
You might actually get closer to some real answers then.

I don't think it's a memory malfunction. I think it's evidence of the convergence of previously-differing timelines.

you guys remember John Basedow
for a while EVERYONE said he died in the tsunami while in Thialand. It turned out to be just a rumor. BUT I remember official type sources confirming it. His wiki page says it was a falsified news report.
It was called one of the greatest death hoaxes ever done. BUT for a while it was news.
So who knows. I have had instances of new information, sometimes very technical in nature just pop into my head.
If this theory is true and when you die your consciousness is transferred into another "you", then I die often. I must be someone with a high death rate, because I am constantly getting new information I didnt learn on my own.
