For those of you who are new to spiritual adventures, get used to the fact that we are surrounded by spirits, and some of them are the ghosts of people who knew us and want to be with us now.
I have been thinking about the ghosts who are gathered around me. Some are strangers, I am sure, but some are the ghosts of ex-girlfriends or ex-wives. What does it feel like when you are surrounded by the ghosts of your ex wives and ex girlfriends? What does it feel like when you are surrounded by dead relatives who are spending their time making sure you do not make the mistakes they did?
These ghosts don’t have to be old loves, they could be old family members trying to influence you. They would have an attitude toward you unlike any other spirits. In the best case, they would know what buttons to push to get a reaction from you and guide you away from actions they failed at. In the worst cases, they would still be trying to make you wrong, to get even for old upsets with you.
If we treat our spiritual companions with respect and affection, as possible departed family members, we are far more likely to get a useful response when we ask “what’s happening?” when we become aware of some sudden body problem or even a chronic issue that doctors can’t seem to handle. We deal with activities every day that can trigger old memories for spirits who are still trying to find themselves. If we approach them in a caring way, even the most tormented of them are likely to respond in a positive way and let us rescue them from the incident that has trapped them.
This applies to anyone reaching out for a spiritual connection. Reaching for a former human being in trouble sends a different message than viewing the spirit as a problem to be solved. If you only perceive the damage that is being caused to your body or emotions, you will never connect with the tortured being whose memories are causing the trouble. Reaching out in a caring way is the fastest way to resolve the spirit’s agony and your own.
Compassion is far more effective than controlled efficiency in resolving spiritual issues. If you want to learn more about communicating with spirits and rescuing them from incidents that have trapped them, send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com
