Beginnings have endings and just as everything must come to an end, there is one exception. Spirit continues. Regardless of whether you are in physical form or not, you continue. It is unending. There are many who feel drawn to connect with a lost loved one that has crossed over. (I prefer the term "crossed over" as to die is merely our physical existence in this lifetime.) For skeptics, they may feel the need to have more validation and proof that is possible. We can only provide what Spirit gives us as evidence. More often than not it is something that the inquirer will recognize as being "it". They know... and the connection is valid.
I will not tarry with a skeptic, other than to provide information given from Spirit. There is always free will, and the inquirer needs to be respectful of the amount of energy that those on the other side use to come through to communicate with them. Sometimes one needs to walk away, so to speak, to have the light come on...and then they understand the message. Other times, they may choose to disregard it altogether. It is ultimately their choice whether the conversation is valid or not.
Just as the mountains may crumble to an earthquake, any number of causes may be brought up to justify how that information was obtained.
There are many who may choose also to ask questions that the other side feels are not appropriate for them to answer. The reasons are not ours to answer. There may be a life-lesson for the inquirer to learn. There may be something in the answer that could alter their life-path. It could be any number of things.
Faith is required. You cannot prove conclusively in the physical world, that the other side is communicating with you. Just as you cannot prove conclusively in the physical world that I am speaking with you on the telephone. Could it not be a voice-altered synthesization that mimics my tone, fluctuations and reponses? Perhaps... and perhaps not.
You... do not NEED me to communicate with your loved ones on the other side. They most likely already have given you the evidence you need that they have crossed over and are much more than fine! The issue is, we do NEED closure. We often need to know that these special ones, that shared such an important space and time in our lives, did not leave us to go into an abyss of nothingness. I NEEDED to communicate with my daughter, and know that she held our furry angels (cats) in her view and the family was with her, and vice-versa. I still NEED to hear from those most special elders that were my forming family-members and friends of the family, that treated me as though I was more than a number.
There is no substitute that equals the sincere communication of a message from a loved one on the other side. They continue with their spirit in a realm we do not remember, and in reality the "space" they occupy may well be the same "space" that we do, just on another plane of existence.
The proof is in the pudding. You either honor the possibility that someone you cared for might have the capability to send a message to you, or, you remain in denial.
Whichever the choice, it is my hope that you at least send a thought out to your loved one, or better, talk to them (yes... they can "hear" you!)... and tell them why you prefer to think they cannot communicate with you. If you take that approach sincerely, more often than not you may have something unusual occur... and it may well be them knocking the plate on the wall, turning the electronics off and on... in an effort to let you know they are indeed with you.
Some prefer to think that when we "die", that is it. We die, we no longer cease to exist. It is over, and if it isn't over, there is no logic in believing that in another realm we can communicate to people here on earth that are living and breathing.
I submit to you that have this belief... that in the end, you will find out otherwise. Just as a dear "Aunt" still communicates with me today and sings songs to me, encourages me with "what are we going to do today!?". You see, this very special "Aunt" (not really related by blood), did not believe there was anything after "this life". Surprise! She does now!!!
So you can wait, my friend... and find out for yourself, as you surely will. Or... you can try to open your mind to the fact that just as men landed on the moon; just as we proved the world was not flat; there is a good possibility that "ESP" does indeed exist beyond a "woman's intuition". But that is another blog-post entirely, as "woman's intuition" is an irrational term used by people who might think that only irrational women with mood-altering hormones might experience anything like a "feeling that something bad will happen to Johnny".
Peace to you, whatever your viewpoint on this. It is a leap of faith. Intelligence is required, as yes, there unfortunately are charlatan's, as with anything else, who will tell you anything you want to hear to get your money. So you should indeed beware. Just be open for the feeling...you will "know" who is the right one to help you. If you do not... then... do not go there.
