Friendly Ghosts & Spirits
Occasionally I'm contacted
by readers who will say something to the effect of, "I feel that I have a
ghost in my home" or "I can feel the presence of someone around me and I
think that it's the spirit of..."
When I respond by asking if they would like to have the spirit removed,
these people will say, "No, I just want to know what can you tell me about
it."
In the world of Earthbound
Spirits (or Ghosts), there is no "wisdom" or "messages from the other side". Earthbound Spirits do not
have insights or higher-level view that a Spirit Guide or Enlightened
Master will have. They cannot
tell you your future any more than your neighbor. They are not imbued with special gifts are powers.
The world of Earthbound
Spirits (or ghosts) is one of loneliness, isolation, and very often,
confusion. Their existence is often
filled with the desire to have contact with the living. This is usually the reason why people will
feel the presence of these spirits.
It is also important to note
that Transitioned Souls exist and they will also occasionally
make contact with the living; however, it has been our experience that there is
much, much more to existence after death than visiting loved ones that are
still living! There is so much to do
and experience after death to the Transitioned Soul that, although they may
choose to "check in" briefly, as a rule they will generally not stay with their loved
ones after they die.
A loved one that has died
and transitioned can sometimes be felt at quiet times or when asleep as a
reassuring presence. There is usually a
calmness felt in the presence of these beings that is in contrast to the
various feelings that can be felt in the presence of an Earthbound Spirit.
Imagine a living person that
is chronically depressed. That person
is not always experiencing the "depressed" feeling; however, if we remain in
the constant presence of that person we will eventually feel their depression
and it may have an effect on our own mood.
This becomes especially true if we are prone to depression
ourselves. This is how the presence of
Earthbound Spirits can become.
For the person not
experienced with the paranormal, or metaphysical, there can be a "novelty" of
having a Friendly Ghost around the house. The spirits of earthbound children are often playful or
mischievous. These Spirit Children are
often attracted to caring or motherly personalities. A sensitive living person who feels an earthbound child may
desire to care for or protect this spirit-child.
Old houses will also
sometimes attract Earthbound Spirits.
The spirit may feel lonely and desire to communicate or make his/her
presence known to the living tenants.
Again, this may make the living people feel "special" to know that they
have a "Friendly Ghost" in their home.
We may not immediately feel
the loneliness, the depression or other draining emotions, but this is the core
existence of these beings. If they are
not assisted to transition, their presence can become like that of a depressed
friend that is constantly in our presence.
My solution is to assist
the spirit to transition. Once in the
care of the Transition Souls and Enlightened Masters,
these Earthbound Spirits (or Lost Souls) can then find the comfort and
rest that they need in a place that is appropriate for them.
Often, simply having the "Intent"
of helping the spirit to transition and calling out to "Transitioned Loved
Ones to come assist the spirit to transition" is enough to help. Almost any prayer said with the intent of
trying to help the spirit to transition can assist the spirit.
