This morning I was the guest on a pretty cool radio show that appears online, Hauntings Radio. Rod is a great guy and I love to support people out there in the paranormal world who work so hard to bring this field forward. Recently his topic has tended to be towards demonic phenomena.
I watched in horror as guests such as Bill Bean, and one of my own recent clients were attacked by outsiders. People in chat, on myspace and around the net chose to belittle their religious beliefs, or even the phenomena itself. I chose to be a guest to put up a defense for them. My rationale is that every time a victim doesn't come forward because they are afraid of attacks such as this, we lose valuable evidence and information that could bring us closer to the truth. I do not want to fight over the subject but I do want to ask for the attacks to end. It is not fair, it is not right and we all lose evidence in my eyes!!
I brought up many valid points meant to open the mind and hopefully to help people take a different view on this phenomena. My last wish is to make a big fight out of this, but I've seen it so many times, it has begun to bother me. My point on this whole interview is that we don't have answers, we have theories, and to ingrain how much this type of evidence means for us who delve into this field. I find that many times the whole argument stems for someone recovering from these types of attacks turning to religion for comfort. My point is this, when someone is traumatized, in whatever way, be it paranormal or say, an actual physical assault, who are we to say how they comfort themselves?? If a rape victim has faith in her teddy bear, who are we to pull it away?
Let these victims be, let them live, let them speak of what has happened to them, let them heal, no matter what way they choose to heal. Let them have voices! Let them add the valuable evidence into the field. Let us all find answers. I am shocked that my words meant enough that someone hacked into the site for the re-broadcast of my interview and took the sound out of it. Funny how it broadcasted live, recorded correctly, but is suddenly missing audio. Am I so important I must be censored? I don't think so, and funny, the things I said were words of peace, words of science, words of wonder for the mysterious universe....maybe even universe among universe upon universe, and words of comfort for victims out there.
I don't want to fight. Whoever you are. I challenge you to this, bring me evidence, bring me hard evidence to prove that these entities do not exist. For every bit you have, I've got more to the contrary. I believe both human and non-human entities exist. I have evidence to show for my work in the field. I believe my evidence gives weight to my hypotheses. Can you say the same? I say this, "Put up or shut up." But don't silence me or anyone else, for then you close the doors that lead to wisdom!
But then again any time someone acts out of intolerance or hatred they shut many doors......
