We’ve all heard a ghost story or two growing up. Maybe we’ve even seen the image of something out of the corner of our eye, only to disappear when we turn to get a better look. Or noises of someone walking when we know no one is around. From Hamlet’s dead father to Ghostbusters, ghosts have captivated our imagination. A level two WooWoo then undoubtedly believes that the deceased can, and do, walk the Earth. Which raises the belief in reincarnation. Here the dead return to the Earth, albeit in a different physical form. Reincarnation belief can be found in some of the world’s most popular religions including Buddhism and Hinduism. Details surrounding reincarnation vary. Some believe species reincarnate into the same species. Others differ. You can be human in this life, a frog in the next. Also, the point and reason behind reincarnation will vary. We may reincarnate to learn lessons or simply to get another piece of that New York cheesecake.

Finally, on the same level of believability in reincarnation and ghosts is the art of fortune telling. Since the dawn of time, humans have always looked for answers concerning future times and unknown worlds. Prognostication is the art of being able to provide that information. Soothsayers exists in nearly every culture throughout history. Has science ever been able to verify the art’s validity? No, but that hasn’t stopped people from visiting their local psychic. Indeed, even in our modern, scientific American culture, more people turn to horoscopes each day than to their community section in their newspapers.

Quiz Questions

If you answer "yes" to some or all of these questions, you are at least this level. Go up to the next level of woowoo. If you answered "no" to all of these questions, your woowoo level is definitely one level below this level.

  1. Can, and do, the deceased have spirits that can exist in the physical plane?
  2. Have people seen and even talked with these spirits?
  3. Can a soul, after death, return to Earth in the same form or another?
  4. Do mediums exist that can dance the threshold between the living in the dead?
  5. Have you seen the movie "Beetlejuice" more than six times?
  6. Is the art of using a psychic in which to describe your fate accurate?
  7. Do you look forward to purchasing the latest horoscope booklet from the supermarket checkout line (or at least breezing through it while you're waiting for the customer in front of you to pay by check?)

  • I found a great research paper that looks at all the scientific studies done, regarding ESP and telekinesis. Its a great read. You can grab the PDF here.

    After you read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts about this article.

  • I do sort of think spirits can exist in the physical plane. Because they can be all around us and most of us are just unaware.

    Some people and cultures believe that the deceased become stars. With that knowledge, I've lately begun to think, “What if the natural elemental gases (stars) of the Universe are souls/spirit… and since water is pretty much within all living things and we are capable of feeling might be because water/gases could be the Spirit in all of us…?”, which doesn't seem to make sense. Despite that thought's lack of common sense, I think that thought of mine can be an attempt to explain HOW spirits can exist in the physical plane of the Universe.

    I'm not sure if people have seen and even talked with spirits, because I've never even tried channeling someone's spirit before and I do not know anyone who does so. So I have no right to just acclaim that it is not possible to talk to spirits/ghosts/souls (in history it seems that people have gotten advice from their deceased relatives/friends). And I haven't ever watched the movie “Beetlejuice”.

    Actually, now that I've said, “I have no right to just acclaim that it is not possible to talk to spirits/ghosts/souls”, I, or anyone else who has not tried to see if it works or is real, haven't really experienced ESP or any other WooWoo things. Therefore I cannot answer a simple “yes” or “no” for some of these questions… and I don't really believe in horoscopes (just the personality traits of the signs, etc.).

    Oh and I totally believe in reincarnation! Because it seems like many people repeat mistakes in everyday-life, so why can't groups of reincarnated souls cause certain things to keep happening over and over again throughout time (like as if history seems to repeat itself)?

    Reincarnation was considered bad in ancient Eastern religions probably because it is bad that there's still so much for someone's soul to learn; which means they cannot reach enlightenment/Heaven until they do learn. Thus this world truly is as chaotic as it is at times, and it also seems like we, as humans, will never learn our past mistakes [in order to help make a better world].

    I'd say someone who is poetic, is a dreamer, and is scientific, may understand my hypothetical and personal thoughts on certain beliefs… and I try to explain with my own thoughts and opinions to others on websites like Sodahead, but then again, there are skeptics, and/or unbelievers, who think and assume things too quickly with their brains and crush me with their logic to make me think or re-think stuff through.
