Zombies: What If?

For most of my life I have been terrorized by nightmares about zombies, yet in my waking hours I know of all the anomalies I discuss here, this is most certainly the least likely scenario that any of us are apt to face.
So why the nightmares about zombies? I don’t particularly like zombie movies, (probably the result of years of horrible zombie nightmares) and don’t watch them very often, and usually when I do have a nightmare like this, I haven’t even watched one of those movies in ages.
I don’t really have an answer for this, but it often gets me wondering “What If”
The only way a zombie epidemic could even remotely be conceivable as a possibility, is through some type of virus that affects the brain function, such as in the film 28 Days Later.
If you stop and think about it, the “What If” may not seem so outlandish when you consider the many new strains of viruses that are constantly terrorizing the human population, such as the Bird Flu. In addition to this, there is always biological warfare; do we really know what types of biological weapons the governments of the world are developing? What if there was an accident of some sort?
If you let your imagination wander, the idea can become very scary. Ghosts, Demons, Aliens, I am not sure any of these are quite as chilling as the idea of zombies roaming the earth, waiting to devour the living.
So the what if question again; what if it were to happen? What would you do, and how would you survive?
Here is some highly recommended reading materials to help you answer these questions.
The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks
This book can help you stay alive if the unthinkable should ever happen.
Another interesting book from the best selling Zombie expert, Max Brooks is The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks.
If nothing else, the books could give you a sense of security, and if you also suffer from nightmares, maybe they will no longer bother you.

Do We Survive Death?

There are few religions or cultures in the world that do not believe in some form of life after death. The belief that we survive after death has been around almost as long as mankind has been around.
The one thing I have always found very puzzling with today’s attitude about ghosts is, how the majority of society can believe in the continued existence of consciousness after death, but still not believe in ghosts? If our conciseness survives death, then it must take some form. Logic would clue us in that that form is what is commonly known as a “ghost” It really is impossible for one to be real, with out considering the other.
Simply because of its nature, there is not a great deal of scientific fact to back up life after death, but still many people have incorporated this into their belief system. This is especially true of Christians and other religions that teach that there is a way to survive death.
Aside from the numerous stories of near death experiences, there are always ghosts to help back up the theory of surviving death.
The fact is, not only have I witnessed a ghost myself, but there are simply way too many reports of people seeing, or experiencing ghost activity for there not to be substance to this. This is not to say that everyone who says or thinks they have saw a ghost, actually has, but there are probably many who have had an authentic ghost experience.
So what is a ghost? After years of research I have come to the conclusion that one possibility is that it is the form that our spirit takes on after death. I think it is a good likelihood that we continue to exist on another plane or dimension, which is invisible to those who are living. In essence, we do not die, but simply step through the door to another dimension where life could be something like what we know now.
This is just one of many possibilities, but definitely something worth thinking about.
