How close is the spirit world?
I take the view that part of it, at least, interpenetrates with our world but cannot be seen except with certain clairvoyant vision. One way of thinking about it is another dimension, as shown in science fiction films. Some of you may have experienced a shiver when out walking or standing. People often describe this experience as ’someone walking over your grave’. Actually, it can often be caused when a spirit of a particular energy type passes through your own energy field. This should not be viewed as harmful in any way, even though the effect can be quite startling at the time.
My mother was in considerable pain when she passed and this thought troubles me. Is she still suffering?
It is only the phsyical body that registers such pain although there can be a period of mental adjustment to the spirit person’s new environment and the fact that their physical life has cme to an end. Therefore, your mother cannot carry that bodily suffering into the next world. Those on the other side can make a medium aware of certain physical sensations connected with their previous illness but this is for information and recognition purposes only. I hope you can understand the logic of this point of view and that it re-assures you.
Do our loved ones forgive us if we weren’t able to be with them during their last moments in this world?
It is very understandable to be concerned about such matters but loved ones are very much aware of our lives and do not occupy their minds in any way about what they see as unimportant issues. They can be troubled by our feelings about these events, so it is best to put difficult memories of the past out of your minds and move-on, they have!
Can our spirit loved ones visit us?
Most definitely! They continue to take an interest in our lives, although their concerns are more to do with our emotional, physical and spiritual well-being rather than anything of a materialistic nature. They often visit at celebrations such as birthdays or weddings. People with sixth sense abilities will notice their presence at such gatherings. It can be very frustrating for them because they are aware of us but know that we cannot always sense them. Like on this side of the veil, they do respect our privacy. Remember, that life takes on a different angle when the normal phsyical drives are absent.
Do thoughts have power?
Even from a psychological point of view, negative thoughts can have a poisoning affect on the state of a persons mind. Every action that has taken place in the physical world, began firstly as a thought. To that extent, we can heal or harm with them. Even the most casual examination of human history reveals this realisation. Those who have studied or applied the mysteries will be aware of the magus using words of power when working. To some extent, all spiritual ceremonies make use of this practise.
Its surprising, within mystical circles, of how many still become careless with their thoughts. It is my view, and that of others who have studied the subject, that a sort of cause and effect chain of events can occur to those seeking to harm others by their thoughts, words or actions. To that end, we indeed reap that which we sow. This interpretation will have a more pertinent relevance to those who have applied the darker magical techniques in seeking to achieve their desired results. This may well be one possible explanation for the expression what goes around comes around!
Think in your own lives and I’m sure there have been many times when words alone have been used to intentionally hurt you. Some people seem to make a habit of it causing discord wherever they go. It is not unusual for such people to critically identify others by their colour, race or perhaps some physical characteristic that is less than perfect. In so doing they reveal more about themselves than those they seek to find fault with.
Are 1 to 1 spirit readings always possible? (Private Readings)
Many mediums will tell you that for a variety of reasons, private home readings on a one to one basis can’t always take place at a particular time for a person. Fortunately, its only a small percentage but it can happen. Some of the explanations for this can be understood, others cannot. Remember that a medium is an instrument, who when the circumstances are opportune and balanced, will receive information and interpret it. If the message can’t be sent at a particular time accept it and try again when the connection between worlds is more favourable. Otherwise, it’s a bit like blaming the postman when the letter wasn’t sent or calling the television names when the signal is affected by bad weather.
From what we know of the Heaven World, it’s a place where thoughts of peace, love, compassion and harmony exist. It follows, therefore, that the ability of spirit loved ones to make effective thought communication with a medium will be hampered when these qualities are at a low level, or in some extreme cases, totally absent at the time and place of the reading.
The best approach is to be open-minded and relaxed. Otherwise, negative or tense atmospheres can be produced thereby interfering with the very process of spirit communication. Cynical attitudes, are therefore, by their very nature, unlikely to produce very favourable results.
Try to avoid interpretations such as ‘they don’t exist, or they don’t want to get in touch. To some extent, all links are experiments in communication. I prefer stage work since as my website show recordings demonstrate, some remarkable links can be made with the spirit world regarding the accuracy of information that is produced.
Despite its paranormal nature, spirit communication must follow certain laws that have yet to be fully comprehended. Working with the issues we do understand is surely a far more positive approach to the process than dismissing it because it didn’t work for you at a particular time.
