Ouija secrets uncovered??

What is Ouija? Ouija board is a game where a small group of people summons a spirit and communicate with it. A board that has alphabets and numbers is used and the group of people would place a finger on a small pointer and the so called spirit would spell out what it has to say. Is it?? There has been countless movies from all over the world that dramatize what people think of it including this year's horror movie Ouija.

In this country, we are more familiar with another version of the game which we call the Spirit of the Coin. It is practically cheaper and easier to come up with. All you need is a piece of paper, a pen and a coin. When coming up with this subject, people would imagine spirits, paranormal activities, the devil and so on; but does it necessarily be it? What I mean is what is it that makes the pointer or the coin move?

I don't even know if there are any people who has the same perception that I have, but I personally think that it has nothing to do with spirits, the devil or anything. I believe it is all in our minds..our subconscious mind. How did I come to think that?

As I mentioned earlier, here we are more familiar with using coins, and my experience of playing this 'game' goes back when I was about 10 years old. Back then, I as other people do, thought of it to be linked with spirits etc; but over time I became too familiar with the game that I could play alone by myself. That is the point when I started doubting it to be supernatural. When playing alone, I found that what comes out of the board actually rooted from my mind, and when my mind is empty the coin would go crazy and go all over the place! Of course over time I've been called satanic..morbid or whatsoever. Even though I tried to explain and prove it, they are always skeptical. Yet, I am confident with my theory and give no s**t about it.

But then another question arose. How does it work? Of course I have no way of proving this scientifically, but I do have a theory and reference, even though not a strong one. Our fingertips is a special part of our body. It has the most efficient sense of touch. It is fascinating how blind people can read braille so efficiently. Check out this website I found Energy Between Your Hands. It's a way of channeling energy through your palms. I skeptically tried it and surprisingly it does work.

It has also been linked with intuition where there is a German term Fingerspitzengef that translates as 'fingertips feeling' which means intuitive flair or instinct. Instincts are like the ROM chips of motherboards. The data is there but it runs in the background. When the PC is shut down, it keeps running, keeping date, time and other settings.

There are a lot of things we don't understand, but with reason, research and cutting back watching spooky movies, we can understand what is going on around us. If my opinion proves true, I think that Ouija can even be sold as a board game along with Monopoly, Scrabbles and others. It has got to be fun!!

A matter of antimatter

Okay..I am going to warn you upfront..because i am writing a post concerning quantum physics, religion and a movie which i had no whatsoever knowledge or experience save SPM Physics which i continuously and deliberately skipped writing lab reports for some unexplainable reason.

Yesterday i was browsing Yahoo homepage as usual..which has been my browser default page and i stumbled upon an article about Higgs boson also known as 'God Particle'. It instantly sparked and intrigue upon me of how can some quantum physic  thingy be named as such.

I read the whole article but i was far from understanding the whole of it except some basic things that i hope have not misunderstood. Subatomic particles are categorized into two which is bosons and fermions. The Higgs boson is  still not proven of its existence but theoretically it is an elemental subatomic particle which its existence revokes the term 'atoms'..used for (of course)atoms which means 'indivisible'.

Them physicists say that every matter or atom or sub-atom or whatever particle has some kind of invisible, without mass, evil twin called antiparticle which has the opposite character, creating a symmetry of every matter in this whole universe. Now..the Higgs boson here is a very elemental particle making its other half what they believe to be the antimatter..the essence of the creation of matter..the beginning from the nothingness of the void.

The antimatter is supposed to be separated by the smashing particles using high powered particle accelerators. If an antimatter can be handled..it may be manipulated for the production of energy since the collision of antimatter with matter can create an explosion. The collision that supposedly 'developed' the universe (the Big Bang) to what it is today.

Initially i didn't read about it extensively until last night by crazy coincidence, i happen to watch the film Angels and Demons (which i thought was a horror movie), about how the adopted son of the Vatican pope trying to stage a series of terror attack supposedly by the infamous Illuminatti against the Vatican..so that he could emerge a hero winning the battle for the Christian faith against science.

These theories have been pursued by physicists to prove the natural occurrences that formed the universe, defying it of God's creation. But for me, all these scientific occurrences are only triggers that does not at all refute the idea of God's creation. As in Muslim belief that not even one single leaf would fall if not by the permission of God, that doesn't mean that it is directly God's hand that does everything. The Almighty has His 'sunnahs' for He had arranged for the universe to 'live' and evolve by itself. Wallahu a'alam.
