Phyllis.....thank you for reading my article. I'm glad you liked it. Connecting with the spirits of loved ones can indeed help us so much in our lives. I have felt great peace after my boyfriend's visits. It helps with the grief, and gives me hope of better days to come.

Les.....thank you for the compliment.

As a side note, I have to tell you that no, the horse situation is not taken care of today. It seems to be the nightmare that won't go away. I am hoping now for a resolution on Tuesday. I am losing sleep over this and I have lost 4 pounds in a week. Perhaps when this is done I will start a new thread here describing what happened and how it has affected my spirit.

Thank you for asking, Les, and thank you for visiting my forum!

The funniest bit was that they did not accept they were dead on the Earth plane

This meant that they still lived in an astral replica of the same house they had lived in during the 1970's with individual rooms heated with gas or real fires and cold hallway in between.

I did try to show them they could live whatever type of house they wanted, and tried to show them how they could reshape their home. But it always popped back into the form they thought it 'had always been' in a few seconds due to the persistent pressure of their beliefs. A bit like trying to build a sandcastle on the beach when the tide's coming in.

Dad saw the funny side though

I totally get that. In fact, many spirits of the deceased do not realize they are dead. Especially if they left their bodies abruptly, they can't tell the difference because they still see their etheric bodies that look just like their physical bodies.

My husband woke up one night shocked to see his deceased brother sitting on the foot of our bed. His brother was holding the side of his mouth saying that it hurt. My husband said, "What are you doing here? You're dead." His brother looked at him and said, "No, I'm not. I just had to go away for a while."

My husband woke me up, quite shaken, and we talked about it. It didn't surprise me, but this was one of the first times my husband had encountered a spirit during waking life.

Sometimes, the deceased don't want to cross over completely either. They liked their earth incarnations and wish to continue experiencing them. They might even recognize that they are in spirit form and they have fun with that, scaring people or peeping in on them. I think it's entirely rude.

We have a lot of creative power with the energy vibrations we emit and we continue to do so on the other side.




Yes, that is because of what they're minds are creating as far as energy vibrations. They see what they wish to see.

Hell is created that way, too.

Fortunately it does have its' positive uses . Especially if you work on enhancing your skills

Ian.....I've read that deceased spirits can recreate their own homes in the spirit world if their homes were a source of great comfort to them while they were in the physical realm.

That your grandparents both refuse to believe they are dead is a testament to how "alive" spirits really are. Funny that your Dad could see what they were doing too and got a little chuckle out of it.

Lori.....thank you for sharing the story about your husband and his brother's spirit.

Indeed some spirits are still physically alive as far as they are aware. Sometimes when a person dies suddenly, either by an accident or by a violent end, the spirit does not yet know they have left the physical realm. And as you said, some spirits just don't want to let go of their physical entities.

Oh, it's good to have this forum to discuss things of this matter, Debbie.

I have the ability to sense and communicate with the spirits of deceased people who aren't related to me, too. Someone who shall remain nameless had a father who committed suicide earlier this year. There have been a few occasions when I can see and hear him. He watches over his daughter whom he loves very, very much. He doesn't say much and he is very polite and respectful to me. Life just got too emotionally hard for him.

For the year after my mother died, I felt her spirit guiding me. She must have figured out that I would be okay, or maybe it was my older sister dying less than two years later. Mama doesn't hang around any more, but I miss her tremendously.

Lori and Connie.....thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It is great that we can learn from each other here.

My sweetheart has been a little quiet of late. I have been under a lot of stress lately and that could be a block to him visiting. My sleep quality has not been all that good, and I know I need enough good quality sleep to get into my dream state. I have been trying hard to connect with him again. I did finally have a dream of him early this morning, but it was a dream of my own making, which does happen. I know the difference between my mind making up a dream and my boyfriend actually visiting. My made up dreams are usually a bit foggy and odd, but when he actually visits me my dreams are very clear and feel more real. They are to the point and often address what I have asked for while I was awake.

It has been almost 7 months since his passing (which I can hardly believe). I don't know how long the visits from him will last, but I cherish every moment he is with me. I still talk with him every day and I think he hears me. Even if our loved ones don't make their presence known, I think they watch over us and are interested in what goes on in our lives.
