What I’m finding interesting is the more I look into consciousness studies, I believe in ghosts less and less.

Remnants …maybe? I mean the consciousness is here, I just don’t believe they exist as what we call a ghost. that it is a spirit that hasn’t ‘moved on’ to whatever form it takes after which again, is never really explained to what it moves onto. The dark matter? Interesting concept.

we just can’t observe it…yet . So who knows what makes up the dark matter while we exist in this current consciousness. Who knows, maybe it’s our real ‘bodies’ making that up and we just can’t see it. Maybe that big old void is just you or me or anyone. And we just have these little flesh masks on while living in this simulation.
