Imagine yourself having something very important to say to your loved one. You begin speaking with that person but he/she does not respond. Your loved one is simply ignoring you. No matter what you say or how loud you say it, you are simply unheard and unseen. “Wait why am I being ignored? What did I do to deserve this?” You say. “What I have to say is really important and I must be heard!” But to no avail your raving and ranting go on deaf ears. This scenario is exactly what could have happened to your loved ones that have passed on. I don’t know about you, but that would be pretty frustrating
Try and put yourself in their shoes, what would you do if you couldn’t communicate with your loved ones and you so desperately want to that it hurts. Well, for one thing you would probably just hang around them as much as possible. Waiting for the right chance to sneak a word or phrase into their heads. “If only they could see me or hear me” you say, as you stand there, but they just walk through you like you were air.
The spirits among us have their own desires and feelings. They have love and hate, but the difference is what they think and feel, they can see how it directly affects their aura and vibration.
You see, what you do does reflect upon you in this life. Because everything you think, say and do is absorbed by your soul like a magnet. Your soul then becomes light or heavy in an ethereal vibration depending on your deeds. The better your actions here on earth the lighter your soul is and the higher you will go in the afterlife. The heavier your actions the lower your attraction will be. So the spirits that are still here dwelling on earth not really in heaven or hell is because they have some unfinished business or are very concerned about a loved one that they must oversee. It can also be a loved one here on earth is so depressed and sad for their loss, that the their loved one’s spirit is unable to go on to heaven until those bad feelings are mended.
The soul is so effected by the feelings and vibrations of this earth that it can get stuck in an in-between world, unable to move on. In this world it is very difficult to keep our emotions clear and out of a cluttered state. We are so tied to our securities and insecurities. Our habits and addictions. In fact the actual need to eat and the varying desire to have nourishment can also slow our ascent into heaven.
Imagine all your life on earth you had to eat. Then suddenly you lost your body. You no longer need to eat food to survive, but your mental urges and desires are still there. These urges can keep you on earth, but as time goes on, your mind would be occupied by other things and you would slowly forget your urges and possibly begin to ascend as a result of it. It is totally a mental effort however. It is your mind that creates your reality. Here on earth, our mind, to a certain extent effects us, just not so directly. In the afterlife, our mind would not be inhibited by our physical brain and body so our ethereal body is much more receptive to our mind because it is of a much lighter density and vibration. Also, what we believe about what is possible and what it impossible can effect what we see in the spirit world.
Our positive attitude can effect us positively in the environment of the astral planes, but so does a negative attitude and out look. So you see it is not unlike being in a dream. A very real dream where every sense in your being is heightened. Like looking at yourself in a mirror. A mirror of only truth and every subconscious thought and image you’ve had of your self shows. But it shows in a very exaggerated form. The spirit world is like that mirror, and your soul is the play doe that is formed by your mind and all your thoughts of yourself while on this earth. If you constantly were bombarding yourself with thoughts that you were ugly and unworthy of anything, this repeated feeling will show on your souls vibration and you will feel heavy and ugly. Because your body is no longer there to protect you from your thoughts, you will finally see what you have been thinking for all those years.
In-planting good idea’s and good thoughts to your soul. Yes, you did hear them, but you chose not to listen. You were blinded by your ego and physical existence here on earth. Your guides did live here on earth at one point, so they understand your addictions and habits. In fact a lot of guides are assigned to people whom have the same kind of problems and situation that they did when they were on earth. If they help you with your problem and elevate your spirit a little, then their spirit would be elevated as well. Like a chain reaction even higher spirits than your guides would be effected all the way up to GOD.
So you see when we do listen to our subconscious that is telling us not to swear or not to drink, we are actually listening to our spirit guides and GOD.
In addition, our guides are there to not just protect us from our physical world and the not so smart things we do, but from other spirits with bad intentions. You see, this earth is like a melting pot of people, bad and good. With the bad people come bad spirits that gravitate to them. Those dark spirits cannot go into a higher vibration because of either something they have done to harm someone or themselves or they are so full of vengeance, jealousy, hatred, and contempt towards man or GOD, that they wish to do harm against us because of it.
The dark souls that have committed murder on purpose with deep conviction and malicious intent will go to a lower level existence where there is no light. They will be delving in their own ego, reliving there dastardly deeds over and over and they will experience it as the victim this time.
Those that are among us with bad intentions can only harm us if we let them in. They are also there trying to steal from our sun light and life style. For them to see us, we must also be in a low vibration with the same kind of mental thinking. If we are not religious in some way or are not positive in our daily life, we can be setting the stage for bad influence from dark souls. Ignorance is the number one reason the dark souls can have their way with us. When we do not know or are closed minded about spiritual things, it’s like keeping the door open to low level spirits to interject bad thoughts. Our guides can attempt to protect us, but from their point of view, if you are in a low vibration, there is not much they can do to influence us to do good. The good guides can only influence us if we are in a higher state of vibration where we can then listen to them. For example, consider trying to go down to a slum part of the city where there are drug dealers and drug users. Drunks walking down the street, reeking from their own vomit having not showered for a month. Now try and talk to them, coming as a complete stranger, about quitting their habit and going clean. They would probably cuss and swear at you and look at you like you are crazy. Then they would run away thinking that you were a cop or somebody coming to hurt them. It’s like you were shining a bright light on their darkness, they couldn’t stand it so they would run away.
Well, it is this kind of people those dark souls that our guides are dealing with. They would try and speak with them, but as soon as they get close to them, the bright light of your guide would be too bright and they would run away. Your physical body however is easily seen by those dark souls and they can hang around you shouting horrendous remarks in your ear, spurring you on to commit unspeakable acts that you on your own would not come up with. If you yourself were encourageable and susceptible to negative thoughts, maybe you just might listen to them.
That would be the mistake of your life. There are some bad spirits that are so bold as to actually take over a persons body and live through them and commit heinous acts that the host would never do. This is called spiritual possession.
I once had an experience where I was witness to an exorcism from a person who was possessed. It was during a spiritual session and séance that myself, my brother Zaher, my brothers friend and my parents were having. I cant’ remember my brother’s friends name so I will call him Bob for the sake of the story. Zaher told Bob about our meeting and he was curious and wanted to come. The meeting was very relaxing and meditative. Then my mom started to channel our granduncle named “Sido Bulous”. He was a Greek Orthodox priest in his time here on earth and lived to be 100 years old. He always comes to our seances to bless us and keep us in the presence of the holy spirit. Unbeknownst to us, he came this time not to deliver a message but to perform an exorcism. As my mother was slowly going under, Sido Bulous stood up and slowly walked towards Bob. My granduncle was making gestures in the sign of the cross. He begin praying and commanding the spirit that was in Bob’s body to leave. All the while Bob had his eyes closed and his head facing down. Bob was slowly making low grunts and was speaking in low tones, “Mine, He is mine”! When I heard that sound coming from Bob, my hair stood on end. That was not Bob’s voice, but someone elses. As Bob was beginning to fidget and twist, my dad told me and Zaher to sit next to Bob and hold his arms down and hold him still. I sat on his right side while Zaher sat on his left. Sido Bulous was still praying and making the sign of the cross and chanting words in Arabic that seemed to be affecting the demon spirit that was in Bob’s body.
He began thrashing harder now and protesting out loud “No! You can’t have him! He is mine! Mine!” Bob’s voice was like an old raspy deep voice. It really convinced me that there are spirits out there that really don’t want to be dead and they will do anything to get the feeling of being alive, including taking over a physical body. In my mind all I could think was white light and love and support for Sido Bulous and for my Mom. I was mentally giving them my energy. Sido Bulous was relentless and was raising his voice and a demanding manner saying in Arabic, “Get out! Evil spirit! He is not yours to have. He does not belong to you! Get out! Get out!” He was making the gesture of the cross with his hand and soon Bob’s body became limp and he fell into mine and Zaher’s hands. Then very slowly, my mom started walking backward towards her chair. Sido Bulous was sitting down now. He did his job and now he will leave so my mother can rest. My father was helping my mom to slowly recover and get back to her senses. Bob was laying back relaxed. He slowly opened his eyes and said, “What happened?” Apparently he was not aware of what happened, but had a sense of a great relief off his shoulders and an exasperating love and feelings of guilt and forgiveness all at once. It made him cry and want to shout out loud. We had a very good time for processing that night. Yet I still felt that the greedy and shellfish spirit that was inside Bob was just out side the house, waiting for him to come out so he could possess him again. After Bob left that night, I never saw him again.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHILDREN?
What happens if a baby or small child dies? What happens to the soul of little children? How are the spirits of children effected when they die?
( I use both He and She to represent an equal gendered child).
Well, for one thing, it’s no surprise that children will handle death and the afterlife with no problem. The only thing that could effect their psychological state is possibly the way they would have passed on. If an infant died at birth for example, the spirit of that child would have only experienced physical life for only 9 months inside the womb. The spirit of the child would then be received by his spirit guides or spirit nurses that will place him in an incubation status and shower her with love and infinite knowledge. The infant will slowly become aware of it’s surroundings and feel totally at home.
The infant will grow in love and knowledge and because it is not limited to it’s physical brain, would absorb more universal knowledge and become advanced in thinking for it’s size. When it is aware enough, it would be told whom the parents would have been and any brothers or sisters it would have had. Then if she so chooses, she can be a guide to one of her earth family. Or she can choose to move on and learn and develop her knowledge. Then when the time is right, he can be reincarnated into another family and try again to be born into the physical world.
Weather you believe in reincarnation or not, it is a fact of nature. We come from GOD and we go back to GOD, only to do it all over again that much more wiser. It is a cycle like everything else in life. Reincarnation is a cycle for those spirits that have not finished what they need to learn while on earth the first time. We all are born on this earth for a reason. Whatever that reason is, it was very important to us before we were born to want to come to earth and learn it. It could be learning true friendship. The ability to truly forgive. The ability to truly love or be loved by another.
All these lessons may sound trivial, but have you tried them lately? I mean really tired them? I know I still have some learning to do, as we all do. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here. Then there are those who come to earth to teach. They can come in so many forms and shapes. They can be a loved one who suddenly has cancer. That would really be a lesson for their family don’t you think? Or it could be a father or a mother or even your child who is so stubborn that it drives you crazy. I suspect Patience would be your lesson. It could even be a homeless person sitting in the street corner begging for work or money. I’m sure that has touched a few heart strings in you. It sure did for me.
