"Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not die" - Attributed to Mary E Frye 1932
"(George W. Bush, the US President, is sentenced to bouts of crying caused by the stress of his job and claims to ghosts emerge from the Lincoln bedroom in The White House, according to a new book on his Presidency." Sheldon Alberts, "The Ottawa Citizen" published: Wednesday, September 05, 2007)
I love the idea of ghosts and the thought that someone I once loved is not gone forever, but can still see see me and be with me. I will never be alone with the knowledge that someone dear is always nearby.
There are many tales of spirits, hauntings and visions such as the story of Karen on the website "About.Com" (paranormal.about.com):
As Karen attempted to cross the street while walking home one night, she felt a strong hand grip her shoulder, "This hand not only pushed me back on to the sidewalk," Karen says, "but was strong enough to land me on my posterior on the sidewalk. When I glanced around me, I caught a glimpse of a light blue, periwinkle-colored dress with tiny white flowers. "The grip was strong enough to cause her to fall on the sidewalk and, at that moment she saw a She whiszed around the corner at a dangerous speed. As she described the periwinkle dress her Karen had never known her maternal grandmother as she had died when her own mum was just a child. She had been convinced that night that her Gran & # 39; s spirit saved her life .
Sir William Barrett, a professor of physics at the Royal College of Science in Dublin published a book in 1926 called "Death Bed Visions". He discovered in his research that children often angels had appeared by their sick bed. Many of these children thought the angels as still was discovered later that people have already been seen by the kids did not have wings, which poses the question, if these were just imaginary illusionous According to the Journal of the Society for Psychic Research, there have been documented cases of apparitions being witnessed by other people standing in a dying person & # 39; s room.
Another interesting anecdote is the one of "Katie King" channeled by London born Miss Florence Cook (1856-1904). She materialized in 1872 during a séance as a death like face curtains and within a year perfected her "visits". When Miss Cooke married, the situation became a little complicated, as you would imagine.
She was a Mum who spoke to me and gave me the attention my mother mother was not always able to provide.
"We believe that many of these so called imaginary friends are spirits. In our culture, the It is easy.. for children to see spirit, but we teach them that they are making it up and so most people lose the ability to see "she says.
I am thinking, "Is this my body now?" I had no knowledge or interest in spiritual matters back then. Have I been here before? Those who believe in reincarnation would attest to this.
Having said this are there in accounts and, in some cases photographic evidence, of some kind of ethereal presence in different places and at different times.
One day, while sitting on my couch feeling deeply upset about something I sensed someone sit next to me and I caught a glimpse of a man dressed in an old fashioned house coat. I had never seen him before and he did not encounter anyone I knew I somehow knew he was not there to harm me.
Carole Lynne says, "I have incredible experiences: I had incredible experiences: had spiritual dreams and waking visions. I used was the spiritual dreams and waking visions. I became very emotional about it, but absolutely accepted that if I had been given this gift, I needed to use it and do readings for people.
If spirits are among us, what are they doing here? "Most of the spirits I communicate with seem to find it easy to be with their loved ones who are still living in physical bodies, and within their own spiritual realm: all at the same "This spirit world" may be another realm that interpenetrates our reality ... "claims Carole Lynne. What about haunted places?
Francis Bevan is a clairvoyant from Australia, who also works as a medium,
"These spirits are often earth bound and do not realize that they need to cross over to the other side.
There are six ways one can make contact with a life force from beyond:
Clairaudience-channeling messages through hearing.
Clairvoyance - this is the ability to see the energy.
Clairsentience - emotionally feel what is being communicated.
Clairalience - channeling by means of smell.
Cla circognizance - the ability to "know", a form of ESP.
Clairgustance - experiencing spiritual matter through taste without putting anything in one & # 39; s mouth.
Other times I see them as clearly as my do. I do not have appearance to me as they have messages to deliver either to myself or my clients. The situation is not frightening as I have never encountered a spirit who as wished to harm myself or anyone else "says Francis.
"They can not have assistance us," They can not see the consequences of our actions but can not do nothing to prevent us from making mistakes as we must learn our own lessons. "
Who has experientced NDES (near death experiences) have been drawn to. "For me, light is truth, and so when a person is passing over, they begin to see the true reality of creation: light, "says Carole Lynne.
I am still trying to bring my old fashioned gentleman back and I wish I could communicate with him this time.
Carole Lynne believes in an open mind, "Most people can see their visions of their loved ones." They are intimidated by skeptical relatives, it will harder for them to be open to see spirit.
I run courses and I have also written a book ".
As far as the above-mentioned Miss Cook, some say that she was a fraud, but each researcher left very sketchy evidence to their findings. It is not certain whether the mysterious entity Katie King has ever existed on earth, but she has apparently appeared in séances in 1903 in Canada and 1974 in Rome.
I sure would love to meet her!
