Buzz, ya wrote somethin' like this methinx:

> but if they could walk through walls why didn't they fall
through the floors??????

ok, now we all know that ST:TNG had a limited time per episode to pack 
everything in... so they cannot possibly successfully achieve yer 
suspension of disbelief in a totality... an' it's hollywood soo.. hehe


but here's another theory fer ya ta munch on...

Assuming that ghosts do exist or "out-of-phasing" etc an' that they were 
able to walk through walls and other obstruction that would impede 
movemnet in normal circumstances, but do not fall through the floor...

This can be explained by Hard Deck Consciousness ( no ref's, I jus thought 
the idea awhile ago when I was writing a story on afterlife ).
HDCis applied whn the entity, who has lived a lifetime, expecting hard 
ground to be under them, and gravity to keep them there... can go on in an 
environment that does not accommodate normal hard ground... i.e. yer a 
ghost or non-matter consciousness, and still benefit from a simulation of 
ground, as provided by the mind. To look at one of the closest examples of 
HDC.. we can watch the motion picture "Ghost", which partially 
demonstrates theories of mind over matter, in which our protagonist, must 
unlearn his previous consciousness experiences in order to jump through 
doors, moving trains, and beat up his best buddy. His mind was so used to 
having the normal limitation of our material being that when he lost his 
meat, the mind refused to adapt, until it was forced to.

However Hard Deck Consciousness is not only applicable with yer everyday 
friendly sppok or star trek character... but also has some real life 
applications, especailly notable in Space Transportation. 

In a few centuries time, (provided that we are still around) human kind 
will no longer be bound to their planet, ad will be able to colonize space 
and the greatr system. Sure this all sounds fantasy, and what does it have 
to do with HDC? Well, if modern speculative fiction is as close as it is 
t what will be, then you will have vessels that will support thousands of 
people, shipping them across the commercial and government lanes from 
colony to colony..etc etc.. what this also means it that without some form 
of artificial gravity, you'll have heaps of people floating around 
endlessly. HDC enables the future travellers to use their minds to trick 
them to sticking to the floor. All because you expect it to happen...

Ok, please treat this as a piece of speculative fiction, I'm not in any 
way advocating that HDC is a reality now, or later... however, after 
studying paranormal papers and texts, you may come across instances where 
people have defied gravity while in a trance... (i.e. returned soviet 
cosmonauts regressed back to a mission, floating unaided from their seats 
as observed by camera, and researchers present during the sessions)

chew on it,... an enquiring mind is healthy :)

anyone here watch Xfiles? apart from the Mulderisms, its kinda 
entertaining... though the question is, does he get Dana Scully to bed?

*chuckle* I should be asleep... sorry if the above is worthless crap, I'm 
soooo tired...


night all
