Parapsychology and The Survival Theory:

Since the beginning of time there has been billions of stories regarding the survival of the soul/spirit after the death of the body, but certain fundamentalist religious people and materialist scientific individuals do not believe in the survival of the soul/spirit after death or they do not admit to believing in the survival theory publicly.

Parapsychology is the study of phenomena that are beyond the scope of traditional scientific explanation, often relating to the mind’s abilities and experiences that transcend ordinary physical laws. This includes areas like telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and precognition.

The Survival Theory in parapsychology is the idea that consciousness or the soul survives bodily death. It suggests that the mind or some aspect of consciousness continues to exist after the physical body ceases to function. This theory has been explored by various researchers who claim to have found evidence in the form of near-death experiences (NDEs), mediumship, and reincarnation studies.

Proponents of the Survival Theory argue that there are cases of people recalling past lives or experiencing communication with deceased individuals through mediums. The theory posits that consciousness is not just a product of the brain, but might be independent of the physical body and capable of surviving death.

Critics of the Survival Theory suggest that there is insufficient empirical evidence to support such claims and that phenomena like NDEs or mediumistic communications may be better explained by psychological or neurological factors, such as the brain’s response to stress or the desire for comfort after the death of a loved one.

Overall, the connection between parapsychology and the Survival Theory remains a contentious and speculative area of study, with some researchers actively exploring the possibility of an afterlife or continued existence, while others remain skeptical, citing the lack of reproducible evidence.
