Spirit Visitors
It is my belief that the spirit world interconnects with this one but is on a much higher vibration and unless clairvoyant vision of a particular type is present, cannot be seen. However, it is quite common for loved ones to be sensed by many individuals. It is very understandable that people tend to keep these experiences private for fear of being ridiculed.
Spirit people will use the psychic sense most active in the person they wish to contact. The easiest way to explain this is to imagine that for every normal sense there is a corresponding psychic sense. One particular one that is used by spirit visitors to make themselves known is by producing a fragrance in the atmosphere of a receptive person. It will normally have a particular association to a deceased loved one and will be instantly recognised. A great deal of preparation goes on in the inner worlds to produce these effects. In our terms its equivalent to saying ‘I exist, I am here and I still care about you’. Other spirit visits may use other senses such as feelings or in some unique circumstances, vision.

They have to choose moments when we are at our most receptive, which is usually in a relaxed state. My own parents make themselves known to me on a frequent basis, at least once a week. When we think of our loved ones with emotion, a strong signal is sent out into the ether and is received almost instantaneously. They then draw close but because of a lack of sensitivity on our part, we might not be aware of their presence.
However, those with some psychic abilities will become aware of them and are therefore very comforted by the experience. I remember attending a funeral and as the congregation were facing the altar, the spirit loved ones were standing facing them in respect as the prayers in the service were read out. Needless to say, I kept these observations to myself, except my wife. They will choose to attend momentous events such as weddings and christenings. On exceptional occasions, they might produce some phenomena to validate their visit. Examples can include falling feathers, moving objects or leaving images on certain photographs taken on the day.
In a similar way, the room an evening of clairvoyance is to take place in will be well prepared by the spirit world beforehand. The psychic atmosphere is adjusted by an inner plane guide often called ‘The Chemist’ as it is their role to try and maintain its qualities at the optimum. Unfortunately, negative thoughts by those attending can interfere with it, making, on some occasions, the process of communication more difficult. It is partly for this reason that people sing hymns in churches and recite prayers-‘to raise the vibrations’. The nearer the psychic atmosphere approaches the nature of the heaven world, the easier it is for those that reside there to make themselves heard and known. Makes sense doesn’t it? Cynical or very tense individuals, because of the ‘thought atmosphere’ they produce, are unlikely to obtain favourable results when trying to become aware of the spirit world. This is especially evident in private readings. In my experience, most people who attend private readings or shows accept the logic of this reasoning. There are a few, however, who don’t but they tend to be the very cynical. Fortunately, with large groups or audiences, the atmosphere is more balanced as the kinder positive thoughts tend to even out any negative vibrations present.
If we are to get the best out of spirit communication, it is essential we try to accept and understand how it works and what we can do to assist its effectiveness. They are, remember, in another sort of spirit dimension. Even with a medium acting as a receiving instrument, its no easy business for them to get information from their world into ours.
