Ghosts

In my last post "The Good, the Bad and the Neutral" I talked about the different types of entities that one might encounter. In previous posts I have talked a lot about the positive and negative energies but, today I wanted to spend more time on the Neutral; more specifically on Ghosts.

When we die our natural tendency is to cross over to the higher dimensions/planes. Our end spiritual goal is to progress to the point where we can permanently live on those planes. Most people are not at that point and very few people dying on earth today stay on the higher planes. If a soul is not ready it means that they have not learned or cleared enough Karma. The soul would then after a period of time, which can very greatly, reincarnate on the earth or earth like world. But, like I said this is the natural path, not the only one.

Some souls, when they die, do not cross over. They instead stay behind on earth. This can happen for various reasons:

The soul does not know it is dead. As strange as it may sound some ghosts walking around right now believe that they are still alive; think of The Sixth Sense. These souls can spend many years/centuries/millennia walking the earth before they move on.

The soul is afraid of death. Now this is not a normal fear of death. Most people in our society have some fear of dying or death. These are the people who dying terrifies and when they do die they are too afraid of the afterlife to move on. They remain behind locked to the earth by their fear. In some cases to these souls Earth is there heaven. Some soul’s natural dimension is one that is lower to ours, dimensions and planes from where we get our concept of Hell. Again these spirits may stay a long time before finally moving on.

The soul remains behind to help the living. Sometimes souls stay behind in an attempt to help the living or out of an obligation to help the living. In most cases this need/want to help is linked to one or more specific people, usually someone they knew in life. Sometimes the connection will be to a person they knew in a past life. Either way, the soul would normally move on once their charges have died. Some find new people to 'Help', like the children and loved ones of the original people they were trying to help.

In all these cases it is in the best interest of the soul to move on. It is only by moving on that they can hope to develop and grow spiritually; staying behind help no one. So if you know a soul that is trapped on earth, help it find its way.

The Good, the Bad and the Neutral

A while back I talked about a person who emailed me with some questions regarding an entity that they were in contact with. A few emails went back and forth and a few more important facts came out. Now some of this may be in previous posts but I there are some new items here that are important.

The first thing to note is that entities or spirits do not only fall into the Good/Positive and Bad/Negative categories. There are Neutral entities or those that are not trying to cause you harm and not trying or able to help you. Most of the Neutral entities are earth bound souls or ghosts. They remain behind for some reason or another, sometimes they do so in attempt to help a loved one who is still living.

This ghost maybe someone that the living person would recognize as a loved one or might be a loved one from a past life that they have no knowledge of; in the end it really doesn't make a big difference. These ghosts are in no real position to help the living and it fact it is the ghost itself that is in need of help.

The ghost or soul that has remained behind is not an advanced soul. If it was advanced it would have moved on and reincarnated into a new person so that its learning can continue. In order for us to heal our karma from our past lives we must do so living in the same dimension or plane that the karma was created. In most cases this means living. Work can be done in the afterlife to setup such healings but ultimately they have to be done here. What this means is that the ghost is not healing or progressing in anyway. They are stagnating in their spiritual progress. The best thing that you can do is to direct them to cross over so they con continue their journey.

Good entities or those in a position to help will very rarely do so directly. Some advanced souls living on earth can communicate with these souls. The good souls have an understanding of the universe and know that the only one who can truly heal someone is that person themselves. They can help direct you to that healing but it is up to that person to do so themselves.

Negative entities have no interest in your spiritual development. They are however the ones most likely to communicate with the living. They may tell you things and "appear" to be helping you but in fact this is not their goal and rarely the outcome of their help.

As you can see, since the spirit you are in contact with is unlikely to be a Positive entity asking them to leave is almost always the right thing to do. If you are in contact with a Positive entity then you will be spiritual advanced enough to know and if you have any question what so ever in your mind, then it is not a Positive entity.

Posting to the Website

I just wanted to say that I am still posting to this site. It might not be as often as I would like, but my intention of this site was always to post when I had something to say and not to just post because I had to. That being said, I am hope to post more often, how often that will be I don't know at this time. I am hoping for at least once a week, but that may not work out.

It might seem like once a week is not a lot and really it is not, but I wanted to make sure that I had soemthing worth while to post. Something the spirits have driven me to write.

Sending Bad Things Away

I received a comment a short time ago from someone who had a spirit guide who was causing them pain. I wanted to post my reply as it is very important.

If you have an entity that is causing you pain, it is a good indication that this is not a "good" spirit or at least one that is not in a position to help you. Some times spirits think they can help the living when they are not in a position to. There are spirits that can help, but they would never hurt you.

So I hope that is clear, a helpful spirit will never hurt or threaten you. So what do you do to get rid of an entity that is causing you harm, the first thing I recommend is the direct route. Tell them directly to go away, that they are not suppose to be here. Depending on if you feel it is a misdirected soul or an evil entity should direct how you tell him. If it is an evil soul, I would say something "I am of light, go back to where you came." The "I am of the light" should set you in the right place, use it to lift you spirit up and give you the strength. If it is a misdirected soul I would try and direct them to the higher planes where they can get help and if needed (which is likely) reincarnate. Direct him to move on into the light.

The two most important this to remember is that a good soul, one that is in a position to help you will never cause you harm and that you have it within yourself to send any unwanted entity away.

Energy Flow

Most people even if they don't know it can feel their energy. They know when they have it and know when they don't. Even if the symptoms are just feeling tired. But there is more to energy than having or not; energy flows around us and through us. It would seem logical that if you collect or having energy flowing to you that this would be a good thing. However, the opposite is true. It is not healthy or desirable for energy to be flowing in wards. When it is you are much more susceptible to external forces, negative energy and entities. After all isn't it much easier to swim up stream than it is down stream?

The best thing is to have energy flowing outward. It should flow through you from the spiritual realms and out into the world. This way the positive energies not only benefit you but those around you. Part of being positive and having good energy is sharing that energy to the world and in the process become a source of healing for others.

If you can feel the energy flows around you, I recommend closing your eyes and doing a quick test. how do you feel when you are pulling energy in from your surrounding and how do you feel when you are allowing the spiritual energies to flow through you and out into the world. I can promise you that the latter will feel much better.

Finding Time for the Spirit

I often find it difficult for me to find time fro my spirit. As with most people I have a life (work, family). When we get busy it is the items deemed as luxuries that tend to be the first to suffer. So how do you find time for your spirit? Well, I'm not going to talk to you about how to time manage or get more out of your day. I'm not an expert in that but I will tell you about my experiences.

It should be evident from my last post that I am a writer. I am also a podcaster. Several years ago when I picked up writing again and then again last year when I started podcasting, I made a choice. I choose to make and dedicate time to those tasks. Now that meant that I had to give something up. It could be work (we all have bills to pay) and it wasn't going to be my family. So that left my other hobbies as the targets. Over the past several years the amount of TV that I watch has dropped dramatically. Also has the time I spend "playing" with my computer. I'm a technical guy and use to love spending hours exploring what I could get my computer to do. When I started this blog up again I thought about my time constraints. This time it was a lot harder. My writing and podcasting were staying, family was staying. That didn't leave a lot.

I then realised that the spirit doesn't need a lot of focused time. Yes if the spirit is important to you, it is good to make time just for it. The pay back will be high. But also we can add the spirit to everything in our lives; because in truth it is part of everything.

Remember, the purpose of this post is let you know that we all have more time than we think. We just need to be aware of how we are spending it. You can't honestly say you have not time and then spend time watching TV. So look at what you do and decided what is most important to you and you will find the time.

Spiritual Beliefs vs. Writing Fantasy

I doubt that I'm in a unique position where some of my hobbies and natural likes conflict with my spiritual beliefs. Every faith/belief system I have encountered would agree that killing is bad. Yet nearly all of us watch movies and TV shows with some kind of violence or other "unacceptable" behaviour. I do these things and I write. I write fantasy short stories and novels; and the next idea in my head is a Sci-fi. In my writing much like the movies and TV people get hurt, die and kill.

At first this might not seem like a big deal. However if you look back at my pervious posts you will see that as part of my beliefs thoughts can be as damaging as actions. Thinking bad things about someone is the same as saying it. But, how does this translate to Movies, TV and Books? That is something I've struggle with for some time. How can I say I believe one thing but go against it with my hobbies?

I am not willing to give up my writing. It is something I feel very strongly about and something that I enjoy. Writing has helped me through rough times. It is something that I feel is very important for me.

Again if you look back you will see that I am a believer of past lives. I believe that many of our stories, no matter how farfetched they may seem, have a basis in reality. They are events from our past lives translated in a way that we can relate to them in this life. This is the key to keeping my writing spiritual. Like thought, words and books have an energy about them; an energy given to them by the author and the readers. If the writer places a positive energy in the novel, regardless of what it says that energy will carry with it.

This is how I resolve the conflict with my writing. Spiritual books that can heal do not need to non-fiction books. I write/edit my novels and stories with an understanding where they come from, my past lives, and with the intent to heal myself of the wrongs I did in this life and to help others heal. It is by this method that I am able to write violence in a spiritual manner.
